  • Shut down from throwing
    Bradford (ribs) said Sunday he was shut down from throwing since he's not recovering as quickly as expected, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The left-hander apparently wasn't experiencing any pain since recently starting up a throwing program, but his recovery also wasn't moving forward. It's unclear when Bradford is expected to restart the throwing program, and he should be considered out indefinitely until his status is updated. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

  • Save chances possible
    Garrett will likely be in the mix for save chances going forward after manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that closer Edwin Diaz will shift to a "fluid" role, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It's not a full demotion, but Diaz is now slated for lower-leverage work to help get his confidence back after giving up seven runs in his past three outings. Garrett entered 2024 with a 7.11 ERA in 31 career appearances in the big leagues, but he's turned into a major bullpen piece for the Mets with a 0.78 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB in 23 innings. Adam Ottavino should also be an option for saves until Diaz is back on track. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
     
  • Option for saves
    Ottavino should be in the mix for save opportunities going forward after manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that closer Edwin Diaz will shift to a "fluid" role, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Diaz had a strong start to the season after missing all of 2023 with a torn patellar tendon, but his confidence is off after giving up seven runs in his past three outings. Ottavino has a 2.95 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 26:6 K:BB across 18.1 innings this season and has recorded eight holds and a save in a setup role. Reed Garrett should also be in the mix for the ninth inning until Diaz rediscovers his form. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Taking on 'fluid' role
    Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Sunday that Diaz's bullpen role will be more "fluid" for the near future, Paige Leckie of MLB.comreports.

    Advice: The 30-year-old surrendered four runs in his third blown save of the season Saturday and admitted that his confidence is down with seven runs allowed in his past three outings, so the Mets won't rely on him to be their primary closer for a bit. Diaz is still viewed as the club's closer long term but is now likely to see some lower-leverage work in an attempt to get him back on track. Adam Ottavino and Reed Garrett are the likely candidates to step in for save chances in the meantime. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
     
  • Shifts to 60-day IL
    The Dodgers transferred Brogdon (foot) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

    Advice: Brogdon landed on the injured list with plantar fasciitis in mid-April shortly after being acquired from Philadelphia, and he'll be sidelined for at least another month. The right-hander began a rehab assignment in early May and appeared close to joining the Dodgers, but he apparently suffered a setback and is now without a clear timeline for his return.

  • Returns to Triple-A
    Vanasco was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

    Advice: The right-hander was called up by Los Angeles on Friday but will return to Triple-A without making an appearance with the big club. Vanasco delivered two scoreless frames in his MLB debut on April 15, but that's his only outing in the big leagues this season. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
     
  • Sent to Triple-A
    Feyereisen was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Sunday.

    Advice: Feyereisen was called up by Los Angeles at the start of May and will head back to the minors after he allowed six earned runs with an 8:5 K:BB across nine innings. The right-hander gave up all those runs in his first two outings before he turned in seven straight scoreless appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 11:04 am
     
  • Connor Brogdon (foot) moved to 60-day injured list
    Dodgers transferred RHP Connor Brogdon to the 60-day injured list from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Brogdon is now off the 40-man roster and it clears room for Anthony Banda. The right-hander has no timetable for a return at this point, but won’t be eligible to come off the injured list now until the middle of June. Rotoworld Today, 10:09 am
     
  • Dodgers option Feyereisen to Triple-A
    Dodgers optioned RHP J.P. Feyereisen to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: Feyereisen is off the roster to make room for Anthony Banda with Banda getting promoted in the corresponding transaction. It’s likely Feyereisen will be back as a relief option during the summer months. Rotoworld Today, 10:06 am
