    Advice: Maldonado will make his major-league debut Friday with an opener assignment against the Nationals. The 26-year-old has held a 2.31 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 11.2 innings with Jacksonville this season. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Yankees activate Michael Tonkin
    Yankees activated RHP Michael Tonkin.

    Advice: The right-hander was claimed by the Yankees from the Mets on Thursday and will join the active roster for this weekend’s series against the Brewers. Tonkin has made six appearances this season, one with the Twins and five with the Mets, and has a 6.00 ERA, 1.56 WHIP with a 11/4 K/BB ratio across nine innings of work.

  • Marlins recall Anthony Maldonado from Triple-A
    Marlins recalled RHP Anthony Maldonado from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Maldonado will make his major league debut as a starter on Friday as Jesús Luzardo is sidelined with elbow discomfort. The 26-year-old reliever has been with the Miami organization since he was drafted in 2019. Last season, he put together an impressive 1.76 ERA, 0.96 WHIP with a 71/21 K/BB ratio across 46 innings at the Triple-A level. Rotoworld Today, 7:47 am
     
  • Serving as opener Friday
    Maldonado will be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to serve as the Marlins' opening pitcher for Friday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Maldonado will be making his major-league debut after posting a 2.31 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 11.2 innings with Jacksonville this season. Since Maldonado hasn't covered more than two innings in any of his eight appearances this season, he's unlikely to stay in the game long. Kyle Tyler could be a candidate for the bulk role behind Maldonado. Rotowire.com Today, 7:37 am
     
  • Struggling to get outs
    Chapman (0-2) allowed two earned runs on two hits and no walks while striking out one to take the loss Thursday against the Brewers.

    Advice: Chapman entered the game in the eighth inning to protect a one-run lead. He initially ran into some bad luck when a runner reached base on weak contact that didn't leave the infield, but the veteran lefty then threw a wild pitch and served up a home run to Gary Sanchez. Chapman began the season with 5.1 scoreless innings, but he's since allowed six earned runs across his last 2.2 frames and four appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:26 am
     
  • Activated from restricted list
    The Marlins reinstated Brazoban (personal) from the restricted list Thursday.

    Advice: Brazoban landed on the restricted list prior to Opening Day due to visa issues, which have evidently been resolved. Though he's now back on the Marlins' 40-man roster, it's unclear when the reliever might be ready to join the 26-man active roster. Since he missed all of spring training, Brazoban will presumably need to make several appearances in the minors before being an option for the big-league bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 7:14 am
     
  • Pitches eighth inning Thursday
    Payamps pitched a scoreless eighth inning of Thursday's 7-5 win over the Pirates, giving up one hit and one walk en route to claiming his third hold of the season.

    Advice: Just one day after notching his fourth save of the season, Payamps moved to a setup role Thursday, with Trevor Megill coming on in the ninth inning to nab his first save. Brewers manager Pat Murphy hasn't clarified that Megill will be the team's top option for save chances moving forward, so Payamps could end finding himself as part of a committee at closer with Megill and perhaps Abner Uribe.

  • Nabs first save
    Megill pitched a perfect ninth inning Thursday to notch his first save of the season in the Brewers' 7-5 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: Megill and Joel Payamps flipped roles from Wednesday's 3-2 win, when Megill pitched a clean eighth inning before Payamps pitched the ninth and collected the save. It's uncertain whom the Brewers will turn to for the next save opportunity, which tracks with manager Pat Murphy's comments from earlier in the season indicating that intended to "pass the Fireman's hat around" with the save chances once Devin Williams (back) got injured.

  • Secures fourth save
    Jax earned the save Thursday against the White Sox, striking out one over a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.

    Advice: Jax entered the game with one out and the bases loaded to protect a four-run lead in the top of the ninth inning, and he got Eloy Jimenez to go down swinging before Robbie Grossman reached on a fielding error, bringing home a run. Jax's next pitch coaxed a groundout from Andrew Vaughn to secure his fourth save of the season. The right-hander has not allowed a run in any of his last four appearances and has held his opponents hitless in each of his last three, striking out four over that stretch while not issuing any walks. However, Jax's stint as closer is likely about to end with Jhoan Duran (oblique) on a rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul and poised to make his 2024 debut within the next week or so.
