  • Goes four-plus in rehab start
    Buehler (elbow) was charged with five runs (three earned) over four-plus innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

    Advice: He permitted seven hits, walked two and struck out five. The line for Buehler wasn't pretty, but keep in mind that the game was pitched at high altitude at Albuquerque, so the results were mostly secondary. Buehler got his pitch count up to 86 and averaged 94.1 mph with his four-seamer, which is down 1.1 mph from what he averaged during the 2022 season prior to Tommy John surgery. It's possible this was Buehler's final rehab start, but that determination hasn't been made yet. He could potentially make his season debut as soon as Monday in Arizona.

  • Claimed by Yankees
    The Yankees claimed Tonkin off waivers from the Mets on Thursday.

    Advice: After being DFA'd for the third time this month Monday, Tonkin will now move from Queens to the Bronx and nab a spot on a 40-man roster. The 34-year-old right-hander has allowed six earned runs across nine innings between the Twins and Mets this season and will likely be limited to low-leverage situations with the Yankees. McKinley Moore was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Yankees designate McKinley Moore for assignment
    Yankees designated RHP McKinley Moore for assignment.

    Advice: The 25-year-old recently was on the injured list with a knee injury but was activated a couple weeks ago. He hasn’t pitched in the majors this season, but did last season with the Phillies where he pitched 3 1/3 innings and allowed seven earned runs on five hits. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
     
  • Designated for assignment
    Moore was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Thursday.

    Advice: He's losing his spot on the 40-man roster in favor of Michael Tonkin, who was claimed off waivers. Moore missed the first couple weeks of this season with a knee injury and since returning has allowed two runs with a 1:6 K:BB over two-thirds of an inning. The 25-year-old has missed a ton of bats in the minors in the past, so even with his current struggles he could receive interest via trade or waivers. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Yankees claim Michael Tonkin off waivers
    Yankees claimed RHP Michael Tonkin off waivers from the Mets.

    Advice: Tonkin will go from Queens to the Bronx after he was designated for assignment by the Mets earlier this week. The Yankees will be Tonkin’s third team this season as the the 34-year-old also had a short stint with the Twins. He’ll add some bullpen depth for the Yankees. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
     
  • Likely to make another rehab start
    Blue Jays manager John Schneider said Thursday that Manoah (shoulder) is likely to make another rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Manoah was roughed up for six runs on seven hits and four walks over three innings in his latest start with Buffalo on Wednesday. Three of his four rehab outings have been poor, and overall batters have hit .406/.474/.703 off Manoah. He does not appear close to being ready to help out the major-league club.

  • Next rehab outing set for Tuesday
    Scherzer (back) is scheduled to make his next rehab start Tuesday with Double-A Frisco, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Scherzer will look to push up his pitch count in his second rehab outing after he struck out four over 2.1 innings (52 pitches) while allowing three earned runs on five hits and no walks in his 2024 debut Wednesday with Triple-A Round Rock. Since Scherzer missed all of spring training while completing his recovery from Dec. 15 surgery to address a herniated disc in his back, he could require an additional rehab start after Tuesday to get fully stretched out. The right-hander looks on track to return from the 15-day injured list to make his season debut for the Rangers in early May. Rotowire.com Today, 10:34 am
     
  • Shifts to 60-day IL
    The Mariners transferred Santos (lat) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Thursday.

    Advice: The transaction was made in order to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder Leonardo Rivas, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma. Santos is in the midst of a throwing program as he works his way back from a right lat strain, but the Mariners are proceeding conservatively with him. He won't be eligible to make his season debut until late May. Rotowire.com Today, 10:21 am
     
  • Mariners transfer Gregory Santos to 60-day IL
    Mariners transferred RHP Gregory Santos to the 60-day injured list with a right lat strain.

    Advice: Santos’ hasn’t been able to pitch with his lat strain and even with a positive result from an MRI, the team has decided to shelf the 24-year-old hurler for an extended period of time. This is a brutal blow for fantasy managers who were expecting Santos to return by the end of May. Rotoworld Today, 10:21 am
