  • Angels release veteran outfielder Aaron Hicks
    Angels released OF Aaron Hicks.

    Advice: The 34-year-old outfielder had been designated for assignment earlier in the week. He passed through waivers unclaimed and was granted his outright release. He’s now free to latch on elsewhere if any teams are in the market for a switch-hitting outfielder that was batting .140/.222/.193 during his time with the Halos. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago

  • Dodgers recall J.P. Feyereisen from Triple-A
    Dodgers recalled RHP J.P. Feyereisen from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: He’ll take the place of Landon Knack on the team’s active roster — at least for a few days until presumably Walker Buehler rejoins the Dodgers’ rotation. Feyereisen has been hit hard in two appearances out of the Dodgers’ bullpen this season, registering a troublesome 40.50 ERA, 6.00 WHIP and a 1/3 K/BB ratio over 1 1/3 innings of work.

  • Dodgers option Landon Knack to Triple-A
    Dodgers optioned RHP Landon Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: While it’s not official, this move would seemingly indicate that Walker Buehler will step into the Dodgers’ rotation the next time that Knack’s spot comes around. Knack, 26, did a terrific job in his limited action with the Dodgers, posting a 2.81 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and an 11/5 K/BB ratio over 16 innings in his three starts. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago
     
  • Scratched Wednesday
    Moreno was scratched from the Diamondbacks' lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Advice: The D-backs have not offered an explanation as to why Moreno was taken out of the lineup, but they should provide clarification relatively soon. Tucker Barnhart will start behind the plate instead and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
     
  • Optioned to OKC
    The Dodgers optioned Knack to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

    Advice: Knack threw five innings of one-run ball during his last start Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, but he will head back to the minors nonetheless. His demotion will allow J.P. Feyereisen to come up from the minors while also opening a spot in the Dodgers' rotation -- potentially pointing toward Walker Buehler (elbow) making his season debut Monday against the Marlins.

  • Has big game Wednesday
    Vierling went 2-for-3 with a home run, an additional run scored and three total RBI in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Vierling connected for a two-run shot in the third inning, his third home run of the season, then drove in another run on a sacrifice fly in the eighth. The 27-year-old has been seeing regular time at third base with Gio Urshela (hamstring) out, and Vierling has responded with a solid .282 average and .758 OPS, giving him decent short-term fantasy value.

  • Could make next start in majors
    White Sox manager Pedro Grifol hinted Wednesday that Clevinger could be added to the 26-man active roster next week to make his next start with the big club, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports. "We're expecting him to join us here pretty soon. He felt good [Tuesday]," Grifol said of Clevinger. "The news from our trainers was he's excited about how he felt, he's excited about how he threw the ball. We'll assess it, but I would expect him here shortly."

    Advice: Because he didn't go through a proper spring training after remaining unsigned all offseason until inking a one-year deal with the White Sox until April 2, Clevinger has spent the first month of the regular season getting ramped up. He made the second of two starts at Triple-A Charlotte on Tuesday, covering four innings (71 pitches) and striking out four while allowing two earned runs on six hits and one walk. The White Sox have already announced their starting rotation through Sunday's game in St. Louis, but Clevinger should be a strong candidate to make his 2024 big-league debut early next week at Tampa Bay, if the organization's brain trust determines he doesn't need another tune-up start in the minors.

  • Back with Dodgers
    The Dodgers recalled Feyereisen from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

    Advice: Feyereisen has put up a 3.38 ERA and 0.98 WHIP across 10.2 innings at Oklahoma City, and he'll now come up to give the Dodgers another fresh bullpen arm. Landon Knack was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
     
  • Cleared to start Saturday
    Glasnow (hand) is scheduled to start Saturday's game against Atlanta at Dodger Stadium, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Advice: Glasnow experienced hand cramps in his most recent start April 27, but he'll be ready to go on six days' rest in a series featuring two of the National League's top teams. The right-hander has gotten off to an excellent start to his tenure with the Dodgers, going 5-1 with a 2.72 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 53:12 K:BB across 43 innings through seven outings.
