  • Angel Perdomo (elbow) moves to 60-day IL
    Angels transferred LHP Angel Perdomo from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: It’s a procedural move that clears spot on the 40-man roster for Jackson Stephens. Perdomo will miss the majority — possibly all — of the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last October. Rotoworld 4 minutes ago

  • Braves select contract of Jackson Stephens
    Braves selected the contract of RHP Jackson Stephens.

    Advice: Stephens will be a bullpen option for Atlanta, and he replaces Pierce Johnson after Johnson was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday. Stephen has made 80 appearances at the highest level, and he isn’t likely to pitch in high-leverage situations in this stint. Rotoworld 7 minutes ago
     
  • Alek Manoah (shoulder) starting Sunday vs. Nats
    Alek Manoah (shoulder) will start Sunday’s game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Manoah will make his season debut after missing the first quarter of the season with his shoulder injury. His rehab starts were up-and-down — to put it mildly — but he struck out 12 over six innings Tuesday in his rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo. The right-hander isn’t that long removed from being one of the best starters in baseball, but his lack of success makes him a very risky fantasy option, even against a bad lineup like the Nationals.

  • Josiah Gray (elbow) throws 35-pitch bullpen
    Josiah Gray (elbow) threw a 35-pitch bullpen Saturday.

    Advice: Nationals manager Dave Martinez told reporters that the bullpen session “went well.” Gray is expected to be cleared to face live hitters soon, and if the progress continues, a rehab assignment shouldn’t be far away. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago

  • Nearing rehab assignment
    Kahnle (shoulder) will throw a live batting-practice session Saturday and could begin a rehab assignment thereafter, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Kahnle has been throwing bullpens since mid-April and recently progressed to facing live hitters. The Yankees haven't yet established a firm plan for the veteran reliever, but it appears likely that he'll either have one more live BP after Saturday's session or move onto a minor-league rehab assignment. Kahnle was a key piece of the team's bullpen last season, posting a 2.66 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 48:19 K:BB over 40.2 innings while registering two saves and 14 holds. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Takes big step in recovery
    Cole (elbow) threw 15 pitches off a mound Saturday, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Advice: This was Cole's first bullpen session since he was shut down from throwing in mid-March, thus it was a significant milestone as the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner works his way back to the Yankees rotation. Per Goodman, Cole was "giddy" after throwing Saturday, so it appears the session went well. The veteran right-hander is eligible to come off the IL near the end of this month, but recent reports suggest that mid-June may be a more realistic target. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago
     
  • Collects third win
    Schreiber (3-0) earned the win Friday versus the Rangers, allowing two hits and two walks with one strikeout in a scoreless inning.

    Advice: Schreiber erased a walk with a double play, then loaded the bases again before striking out Marcus Semien to end the top of the seventh inning. The Royals rallied for six runs in their half of the frame, and Schreiber ended up with the win. He's pitched 5.1 consecutive scoreless innings, and he's been scored on just once this season, pitching to 0.59 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB over 15.1 innings. He's getting some good luck, as indicated by a .227 BABIP and 3.06 FIP, but the right-hander looks poised to play an important high-leverage role for the Royals for the year.

  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Brewers recalled Koenig from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

    Advice: Koenig has appeared in five games for the Brewers this season, allowing two runs (one earned) on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over 8.2 innings. The 30-year-old southpaw will return to the Brewers' bullpen, while right-hander Corbin Martin was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 9:49 am
