  • Senga (shoulder) throws 32 pitches in live BP
    Kodai Senga (shoulder) threw 32 pitches in his live bullpen session Saturday.

    Advice: Senga has now faced live hitters twice this week. The Mets will now determine the next steps for the right-hander in the coming days, as they want to see how he responds before deciding when he’ll begin a rehab assignment. There’s a very good chance he does begin that assignment at this point, however, and he’s on track to make his return around May 27 — the earliest Senga can be activated off the 60-day IL.

  • Called up for Sunday's start
    Lynch was recalled from Triple-A Omaha and is starting Sunday against the Rangers.

    Advice: The left-hander is taking the rotation spot of Alec Marsh (elbow), who is making a rehab start Sunday and could soon rejoin the Royals. Lynch missed out on Kansas City's season-opening rotation after he posted a 2.77 ERA during spring training, and he hasn't pitched particularly well at Omaha with a 5.86 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB across 27.2 innings.

  • Colin Selby sent to Triple-A by KC on Sunday
    Royals optioned RHP Colin Selby to Triple-A Omaha.

    Advice: Selby was up for a little under a week, and the Royals will send him back to Omaha to make room for Daniel Lynch on the active roster. Selby will likely be back in a low-leverage role at some point in 2024. Rotoworld Today, 7:50 am

  • Royals recall Daniel Lynch from Triple-A Omaha
    Royals recalled LHP Daniel Lynch from Triple-A Omaha.

    Advice: Lynch is going to start Sunday’s game against the Rangers. In six starts with Omaha, the left-hander registered a 6.86 ERA and 22/9 K/BB over 27/2 innings. Lynch is a former top prospect, but his lack of consistent success makes him an unworthy fantasy target at this time. Rotoworld Today, 7:48 am
     
  • Mashes eighth homer
    Ohtani went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over Atlanta.

    Advice: Ohtani kicked off the bottom of the third with a leadoff home run, jumping on a hanging four-seamer from Bryce Elder to give the Dodgers a 3-0 lead. The superstar slugger also drove in a second run on a single in the fourth before finishing the contest with three hits for the fourth time this season. Ohtani has now driven in at least one run in eight of his last 11 games and extended his hitting streak to four games with Saturday's performance. Rotowire.com Today, 7:45 am
     
  • Reaches five innings in rehab start
    Woo (elbow) struck out six and allowed three hits and no walks over five shutout innings in his third rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Tacoma.

    Advice: Woo was about as sharp as the Mariners could have hoped in what was likely the final start of his rehab assignment, as he built up to 66 pitches (44 strikes) while making quick work of the Triple-A Sacramento lineup. Provided Woo experiences no complications with his right elbow during a bullpen session within the next couple of days, he should be cleared to return from the 15-day injured list to make his 2024 Mariners debut later this week. Emerson Hancock has been filling in as the Mariners' No. 5 starter while Woo has been out, but Seattle could have room in the rotation for both hurlers if George Kirby (knee) is forced to the 15-day IL. Woo is likely to be activated to start either Thursday in Minnesota or Friday at home versus the Athletics. Rotowire.com Today, 7:16 am
     
  • Roughed up in first loss
    Elder (1-1) was hit with the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing seven runs on seven hits and four walks while striking out four over 3.1 innings.

    Advice: Elder went 1-2-3 through the first inning before surrendering a leadoff walk to Will Smith in the second, followed by a two-run shot off the bat of Max Muncy. The right-hander would then give up a home run in both the third and fourth innings as well, leading to a season-high seven runs being charged to him. Elder hadn't allowed a home run or more than two runs in either of his first two starts to open the campaign before getting beat up by the Dodgers on Saturday. However, he has now allowed seven or more hits in two of his first three outings this season. Rotowire.com Today, 6:56 am
     
  • Whiffs 10 in win
    Glasnow (6-1) earned the win over Atlanta on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over seven innings while striking out 10.

    Advice: Glasnow didn't allow a man to reach base over the first three frames before surrendering a leadoff single to Ronald Acuna in the fourth, who would later come home to score on a single from Austin Riley. The right-hander responded by striking out seven of the next 11 batters he faced, racking up double-digit strikeouts for the third time this season. Glasnow has now won each of his last three starts, going at least six innings in each of those outings while posting a 29:4 K:BB. Rotowire.com Today, 6:48 am
     
  • Picks up first win
    Kopech (1-3) threw a scoreless ninth inning while allowing one walk and striking out one to earn the win Saturday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Kopech entered the game in the ninth inning with the score tied 5-5. He struggled with his control -- he hit a batter in addition to the free pass he issued -- but ultimately escaped for this third scoreless effort in his last four appearances. Despite a shaky start to the season, Kopech remains the White Sox's primary option in the highest leverage, and often save situations. Rotowire.com Today, 6:47 am
