  • Returning to Triple-A
    The Rangers optioned Leiter to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

    Advice: The right-hander surrendered seven runs over 3.2 frames in his major-league debut Thursday versus the Tigers and will now make his way back to Triple-A. Michael Lorenzen (neck) is poised to make his season debut this weekend to fill out the Rangers' rotation. Leiter could receive another look with the big club later in the year.

  • Justin Verlander activated for 2024 season debut
    Astros activated RHP Justin Verlander from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: The 41-year-old right-hander will officially make his 2024 season debut on Friday night against the Nationals. He did throw 77 pitches in his latest minor league rehab start at Double-A Corpus Christi, so he shouldn’t be too limited in Friday’s outing against the Nationals. Fantasy managers who have been waiting to deploy the future Hall-of-Famer can feel good about his overall chances on Friday night. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
     
  • Gets another start
    Cannon will start Monday in Minnesota, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: Cannon had a solid major-league debut Wednesday against the Royals, tossing five innings of one-run ball. It has earned him at least one additional start in the majors, although that could be it since Mike Clevinger is due to join the White Sox before long. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Shut down for two more weeks
    Gonzales (forearm) will remain shut down for the next couple weeks, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Gonzales has been sidelined since last week with a left forearm muscle strain. He is not expected to require surgery, but between shut down for multiple weeks and then a build-up period, it sounds like it will be several weeks before he'll be an option for the Pirates again.

  • Rangers option Jack Leiter back to Triple-A
    Rangers optioned RHP Jack Leiter to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: The 23-year-old hurler made his highly-anticipated MLB debut against the Tigers on Thursday, giving up seven runs over 3 2/3 innings in a no-decision. Even with the rough first outing, it shouldn’t take Leiter long to get another look in the big league rotation. Owen White was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move to add depth to the Rangers’ bullpen for the weekend. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
     
  • Will make another rehab start
    Walker (shoulder) will make one more rehab start with Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday before rejoining the Phillies' rotation, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Phillies had considered having Walker's next appearance be with the big club, but they've ultimately opted to give him one more tune-up. It sets Walker up for his season debut next weekend in San Diego. Spencer Turnbull has pitched well as Walker's rotation substitute but could lose his spot once Walker returns.

  • Confirmed as Friday's starter
    Priester was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis and is starting Friday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: It'll be Priester's first MLB appearance of the campaign after he missed out on Pittsburgh's Opening Day roster. The 23-year-old righty struggled to a 7.74 ERA over 10 outings in his first taste of the big leagues in 2023, but he pitched well at Triple-A early this season with a 3.95 ERA and 20:5 K:BB across 13.2 frames.

    Davis was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque by the Rockies on Friday.

    Advice: Davis is taking Kyle Freeland's (elbow) spot on the roster and seems likely to take his place in the rotation, as well. Freeland had been slated to start Saturday against the Mariners. Davis has collected a 6.62 ERA and 21:10 K:BB over 17.2 innings covering four starts with Albuquerque this season. Rotowire.com Today, 12:35 pm
