  • 53-42-5 3rd Place
    • Likely moving into rotation
      Cubs manager Craig Counsell said after Friday's loss to the Cardinals that Hendricks is likely to take Jordan Wicks' (oblique) spot in the rotation, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

      Advice: Hendricks came on in relief for the injured Wicks in the second inning and tossed 4.1 scoreless frames. The veteran right-hander has been disastrous on the whole this season with an 8.20 ERA, he's unscored upon over his last 8.2 innings out of the bullpen. Hendricks would tentatively be lined up to start Wednesday at home versus the Giants. Rotowire.com Today, 10:47 am
       
    • Recalled from Triple-A
      The Cubs recalled Thompson from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    • Cubs recall Keegan Thompson from Triple-A
      Cubs recalled RHP Keegan Thompson from Triple-A

      Advice: Thompson posted a serviceable 4.97 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 19/6 K/BB ratio across 12 2/3 innings (nine appearances) earlier this season for the Cubs. The 29-year-old righty provides Chicago’s bullpen with some extra long relief depth moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 10:31 am
       
    • Back in big leagues
      Vespi was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

      Advice: Vespi will return to the major-league bullpen after being sent down June 6, replacing Kyle Bradish (elbow) on the Orioles' roster following Bradish's placement on the 15-day injured list Saturday. The left-hander has made two appearances with Baltimore this season, tossing two scoreless innings while allowing two hits. Rotowire.com Today, 10:27 am
       
    • Orioles recall Nick Vespi on Saturday
      Orioles recalled LHP Nick Vespi from Triple-A Norfolk.

      Advice: Vespi gets the call back to the majors with Kyle Bradish heading to the injured list with a UCL sprain in his right elbow. The 28-year-old lefty has made a pair of relief appearances this season for the Orioles. Rotoworld Today, 10:21 am
       
    • Handed loss Friday
      Webb (1-4) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and one walk while striking out one over one inning to take the extra-innings loss versus the Phillies.

      Advice: Alec Bohm delivered a two-run double in the 11th inning, and the Orioles couldn't produce a fourth comeback in the contest. That play ended an 11-inning scoreless streak for Webb, who has been steady in a setup role for Baltimore this season. Overall, he has a 1.95 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 29:15 K:BB while adding two saves and seven holds across 32.1 innings. Webb's 4.2 BB/9 is not outside of his usual level of performance but is still high, so he may have trouble sustaining his strong ratios over a full season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:11 am
       
    • Marlins add Kent Emanuel to relief mix on Saturday
      Marlins selected the contract of LHP Kent Emanuel from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    • Marlins jettison Shaun Anderson back to Triple-A
      Marlins optioned RHP Shaun Anderson to Triple-A Jacksonville.

    • Abner Uribe to undergo right knee surgery
      Abner Uribe will undergo right knee surgery.

      Advice: Uribe picked up a handful of saves at the outset of the year for Milwaukee before struggling to the point that he was demoted by the start of May to Triple-A Nashville. The hard-throwing 23-year-old righty is expected to undergo a surgical procedure in the coming days to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee. Rotoworld Today, 9:02 am
