• Added to roster
    The Yankees selected Burdi's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

    Advice: Burdi has had a terrible time staying off the injured list in his pro career, but he's healthy now and won a bullpen spot after an impressive spring. The hard-thrower should work in the middle innings for now. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
  • Goes on IL with knee injury
    The Yankees placed Moore on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 25, with right knee bursitis.

    Advice: Moore didn't pitch this spring because of the injury and it's not clear how long he might be out. The right-handed reliever was a waiver claim back in February. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Robert Stephenson heads to IL with shoulder injury
    Angels placed Robert Stephenson (right shoulder inflammation) on the 15-day IL.

    Advice: This is not an unexpected move, but it’s now official. Stephenson’s injured list stint is retroactive to March 25th, so he can come off in under two weeks. We know he played catch last week and threw bullpens earlier this week, so it’s possible he won’t require a long stint on the injured list to start the year. While he will not be thrust into the closer’s role as soon as he’s activated, he should resume pitching in high-leverage situations and remains a good bet to eventually claim a large portion of the Angels’ save share in 2024.

  • IL move made official
    The Angels placed Stephenson on the 15-day injured list Thursday with right shoulder inflammation.

    Advice: The 31-year-old recently resumed throwing but remains without a timetable to make his season debut. Once healthy, Stephenson is poised to serve in a setup role in front of closer Carlos Estevez. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago
  • Acquired by Cleveland
    The Guardians acquired Strzelecki from the Diamondbacks on Thursday for cash considerations and optioned him to Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: Strzelecki had been designated for assignment by Arizona and has now found a new home. The reliever will head to Columbus for now but should be an option for Cleveland's bullpen eventually. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
  • Guardians acquire Peter Strzelecki from D-backs
    Guardians acquired RHP Peter Strzelecki from the Diamondbacks in exchange for cash considerations; optioned him to Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: Strzelecki will open the season in the minors as extra relief depth for Cleveland after failing to make Arizona’s season-opening bullpen. The 29-year-old posted a 4.91 ERA across 3 2/3 innings with the Diamondbacks during spring training. Rotoworld 59 minutes ago
  • Likely facing minimum IL stint
    Romano (elbow) isn't expected to need much time to build back up once he's cleared to start throwing off a mound again, and Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins believes the right-hander will only need a minimum stay on the injured list, Gregor Chisholm of the Toronto Star reports.

    Advice: The Toronto closer was given an anti-inflammatory injection early last week after an MRI on his elbow showed no structural issues. A backdated placement on the IL for Romano and a minimum 15-day stay could have him back in the Jays bullpen as early as April 9 against the Mariners. In the right-hander's absence, Yimi Garcia, Chad Green and Tim Mayza are all candidates to handle save chances. Rotowire.com Today, 8:20 am
  • To IL with hamstring strain
    The Royals placed Brentz (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Brentz suffered a Grade 2 hamstring strain in mid-March. The injury will likely keep him sidelined for the first several weeks of the season. Rotowire.com Today, 7:58 am

  • Braves place Angel Perdomo (elbow) on 15-day IL
    Braves placed Angel Perdomo (elbow) on the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: This move isn’t a surprise as the 29-year-old is coming back from Tommy John surgery last October and is expected to miss most — if not all — the entire 2024 season. Perdomo a 3.72 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and a 44/11 K/BB ratio over 29 innings in 30 appearances with the Pirates during the 2023 season. Rotoworld Today, 7:56 am
