  • Back in majors
    The Giants recalled Jefferies from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Jefferies was demoted Thursday but will quickly rejoin the major-league club. The right-hander is taking the bullpen spot of Mitch White, who was designated for assignment. Blake Snell's (thigh) spot in the rotation comes back around Monday against the Phillies, and Jefferies could provide some length. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Bailey Falter yields three runs to Rockies
    Bailey Falter gave up three runs over 5 1/3 innings Sunday versus the Rockies.

    Advice: 11 of the 18 balls in play against Falter were hard hit, so the damage could have been worse here. He’s surrendered eight runs in his last two starts, taking his ERA from 3.33 to 4.34. He’s due to face the Cubs in each of his next two outings, assuming that he doesn’t wind up being replaced by Paul Skenes. Quinn Priester seems to be the more likely candidate to be knocked from the rotation at this point. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
     
  • Ryan Feltner gives up five runs in loss to Pirates
    Ryan Feltner lost to the Pirates after surrendering five runs in 5 2/3 innings on Sunday.

    Advice: Feltner allowed eight hits, walked none and struck out three. It’s a disappointing result for those who streamed Feltner in weekly leagues, looking to take advantage of his weak schedule. Still, at least those people didn’t pick Trevor Rogers instead. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
     
  • Giants recall Daulton Jefferies from Triple-A
    Giants recalled RHP Daulton Jefferies from Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: Jefferies had just been optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday, but he’ll return with Tom Murphy (knee) landing on the injured list prior to Sunday’s contest. The 28-year-old hurler has really struggled in two outings for the Giants this season, posting a miserable 17.36 ERA, 3.43 WHIP and a 4/2 K/BB ratio over 4 2/3 innings. He’ll add length in the middle innings for the Giants. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago
     
  • Carlos Carrasco strong for six in downing Angels
    Carlos Carrasco limited the Angels to one run in six innings as the Guardians prevailed 4-1 on Sunday.

    Advice: Carrasco picked up his second win while lasting six innings for the first time in seven starts this season. He has a 5.67 ERA and a poor 26/17 K/BB ratio through 33 1/3 innings. Next up for him is a start in Chicago against the White Sox. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago
     
  • Griffin Canning turns in first quality start in loss
    Griffith Canning took a tough loss after allowing two runs in six innings Sunday against the Guardians.

    Advice: It’s his first quality start of the year. Canning had a shutout going into the sixth, when he allowed a single and then a homer to José Ramírez. He allowed only two other hits in the game, both of which were singles, and walked one. Canning now has a 4.64 ERA in his last four starts. That’s still not great or even very good, but it’s a whole lot better than his 9.88 mark from his first three outings. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago
     
  • Headed to bullpen or Triple-A
    Brown is not slated to start for the Cubs in this week's series against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: It seems like Hayden Wesneski beat out Brown for the fifth starter's spot, at least until Kyle Hendricks (back) gets activated. Brown had a 5.40 ERA and 1.80 WHIP in 8.1 innings over his last two starts. He doesn't have great numbers this year as a reliever (7.27 ERA, 1.50 WHIP), so perhaps Brown will join the Triple-A Iowa rotation once Justin Steele (hamstring) is activated Monday.

  • Earns another start
    Wesneski will start Wednesday against the Padres, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: The Cubs are getting Justin Steele (hamstring) back this week and Kyle Hendricks (back) could return next week, but Wesneski earned at least one more turn in the rotation. Wesneski blanked the Brewers over 6.1 innings while striking out eight Friday, marking the first time he has logged over four innings in the majors this season. He has a 0.54 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and a 14:3 K:BB in 16.2 innings across four appearances. Ben Brown could be the odd man out, unless the Cubs go with a six-man rotation this week.

  • Back in majors
    The Padres recalled Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

    Advice: The right-hander was optioned to El Paso on April 26 after making a couple starts for San Diego, and he'll rejoin the big club Sunday since Joe Musgrove (elbow) landed on the injured list. Vasquez allowed five earned runs with a 5:3 K:BB over 7.2 frames in his two outings and could step into the rotation for Musgrove, who had been scheduled to pitch Tuesday against the Cubs.
