  • Red Sox acquire Bailey Horn from White Sox
    Red Sox acquired LHP Bailey Horn from the White Sox for cash considerations.

    Advice: Red Sox president of baseball operations Craig Breslow’s familiarity with Horn from their time with the Cubs the last few years certainly appears to have been a factor in this move. The 26-year-old lefty was removed from the White Sox’ 40-man roster earlier this week and will head to Triple-A Worcester as extra organizational depth for the Red Sox. Rotoworld Today, 3:32 pm
     
  • Ryan Helsley nets 10th save Tuesday vs. Tigers
    Ryan Helsley tossed a perfect ninth inning on Tuesday against the Tigers to collect his major league-leading 10th save of the season.

    Advice: Helsley got the call to protect a slim one-run margin in the final frame after St. Louis stormed ahead with a pair of runs in the top of the frame and needed just 10 pitches (10 strikes) to slam the door. He’s converted 10 of his 11 save opportunities this season and continues rolling. Rotoworld Today, 3:14 pm
     
  • Shelby Miller takes blown save Tuesday vs. Cards
    Shelby Miller allowed two runs in the ninth inning on Tuesday in a blown save against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Tigers manager A.J. Hinch’s decision to hand the ball to Miller, instead of keeping stopper Jason Foley in the contest to attempt to convert a five-out save, backfired spectacularly as the Cardinals rallied for a pair of runs to waste a brilliant performance from Jack Flaherty. Miller surrendered three-straight one-out singles, including a game-tying knock to Alec Burleson, before rookie Pedro Pagés came through with a go-ahead sacrifice fly. It’s not what you want.

  • Headed to Boston
    The Red Sox acquired Horn from the White Sox on Tuesday in exchange for cash, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Horn will recapture a 40-man roster spot as he moves from Chicago to Boston, though he will remain in the minors at Triple-A Worcester. The 26-year-old southpaw has yet to pitch in an MLB game, and his debut doesn't seem on the horizon after allowing 13 runs in 10.1 innings to begin the year with Chicago's Triple-A affiliate.

  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Blue Jays recalled Pop from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday.

    Advice: With Yariel Rodriguez (back) headed for the injured list, Pop will return to the majors to provide additional depth to Toronto's bullpen. Pop accumulated a 6.59 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 13.2 innings with the Blue Jays last season, though he's fared much better this year in Triple-A, allowing two earned runs across 9.2 frames. He'll presumably serve in middle relief while in the big leagues. Rotowire.com Today, 2:40 pm
     
  • Sent to Triple-A
    The Padres optioned Cosgrove to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday.

    Advice: Cosgrove heads to the minors for his first time of the season. With the Padres in 15 games this season, he had allowed 14 earned runs across 12.0 innings. Last year, the 27-year-old posted a 1.75 ERA across 51.1 innings. The southpaw will look to regather himself in El Paso and find again what he had going last year. In a corresponding move, Yu Darvish was reinstated from the 15-day injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 2:37 pm
     
  • Padres option Tom Cosgrove to Triple-A
    Padres optioned LHP Tom Cosgrove to Triple-A El Paso.

    Advice: Cosgrove heads back to the minors to make room for veteran Yu Darvish to return from the injured list ahead of Tuesday’s contest against the Reds. Rotoworld Today, 2:31 pm
     
  • D-backs transfer Kyle Nelson to 60-day IL

  • Blue Jays recall Zach Pop on Tuesday
    Blue Jays recalled RHP Zach Pop from Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: Pop figures to provide Toronto’s bullpen with some extra length over the next few days and could wind up taking the ball this weekend in place of an injured Yariel Rodríguez, who landed on the injured list Tuesday with back inflammation. Rotoworld Today, 2:22 pm
