  • Activated for season debut
    The Phillies reinstated Walker (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Padres on Sunday.

    Advice: The veteran right-hander will make his season debut Sunday in San Diego after he missed the first month of the season with a shoulder issue. Walker threw 102 pitches over 6.1 innings during his final rehab appearance, so he likely won't face any significant limitations in his first MLB outing of 2024. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago
     
  • Taijuan Walker activated off IL for start Sunday
    Phillies activated RHP Taijuan Walker off the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Walker will make his season debut Sunday with a start against the Padres. The right-hander missed the start of the season while recovering from soreness in his right shoulder. There may be some rust to shake off for Walker in his debut, and his lack of swing-and-miss makes him a risky fantasy option even if there wasn’t. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago
     
  • Earns win Saturday
    Faedo (2-1) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Saturday against the Royals.

    Advice: After starter Casey Mize allowed three runs (two earned) over five innings, Faedo worked the sixth and seventh, and he continued to pitch well. The righty has a strong 2.55 ERA across 17.2 innings this season, and he's emerged as a capable long reliever for the Tigers. The role limits Faedo's upside, though he may be able to earn a few more wins here and there. Rotowire.com Today, 10:20 am
     
  • Heads back to Triple-A
    The White Sox optioned Cannon to Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

    Advice: Cannon's first stint in the big leagues last three turns through the rotation, with the rookie right-hander going 0-1 with a 7.24 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings across those starts. The White Sox have a day off Thursday and could get by with a four-man rotation until Mike Clevinger is fully stretched out for starting duty and ready to make his season debut, which could come as soon as next Sunday.

  • Tylor Megill (shoulder) whiffs six in rehab start
    Tylor Megill (shoulder) struck out six hitters in two innings of work for High-A Brooklyn on Saturday.

    Advice: Megill didn’t allow a hit and threw 31 pitches in his return to the mound. The 28-year-old will make his next rehab start Thursday, this time with Double-A Binghamton. If Megill has no setbacks, he should be ready to rejoin the Mets by the end of May. Rotoworld Today, 9:29 am
     
  • David Peterson (hip) starting rehab assignment Sunday
    David Peterson (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A St. Lucie on Sunday.

    Advice: Peterson is currently on the 60-day injured list due to a torn labrum in his left hip. The left-hander will likely make four rehab starts to rebuild his arm strength, but if all goes well, he could be a rotation option for the Mets at the end of May or the start of June.

  • White Sox option RHP Jonathan Cannon to AAA
    White Sox optioned RHP Jonathan Cannon to Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: Cannon was ineffective in his first taste of MLB action, and gets booted from the active roster a day after allowing four runs over five innings on eight hits against the Rays. The right-hander still has some long-term potential, but can safely be ignored in redraft leagues. Brad Keller was recalled to take Cannon’s spot on the roster, and possibly the rotation.

  • Takes another no-decision
    Mize didn't factor in the decision Saturday versus Kansas City after he allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and no walks across five innings. He struck out two.

    Advice: The 26-year-old was in line for his first loss of the season as exited with the Tigers trailing 3-1 through six innings, but the offense got him off the hook for the loss with a five-run seventh. Mize missed all of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he's pitched well early in 2024 with a 3.08 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB over 26.1 innings. He's yet to allow more than three runs in any of his five starts. Rotowire.com Today, 7:29 am
     
  • Solid in no-decision
    Singer didn't factor in the decision Saturday at Detroit after he allowed one run on four hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.

    Advice: The right-hander gave up a run on a walk and a triple during the second inning but blanked the Tigers in his other four frames. Despite the strong run prevention, it was the third straight start with three walks for Singer, who generated just eight swings-and-misses Saturday. The 27-year-old has enjoyed a strong first month of the season with a 2.62 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB across 34.1 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 7:23 am
