  • 45-42-3 5th Place
    • Brewers outright James Meeker to Triple-A
      Brewers sent RHP James Meeker outright to Triple-A Nashville.

      Advice: The 29-year-old hurler was jettisoned off of the Brewers’ 40-man roster earlier in the week, but he passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the team at the Triple-A level. Rotoworld Today, 1:35 pm
       
    • Another rehab start set
      Scherzer will make another rehab start with Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday against Tacoma.

      Advice: Scherzer will be back on the mound for the second start of his rehab assignment after tossing four scoreless while striking out five Sunday against Triple-A Oklahoma City. The right-hander has yet to make his major-league debut this year as he's been recovering from offseason back surgery and then a subsequent thumb injury he suffered in April. If all goes well against Tacoma, it's possible that it is Scherzer's final rehab outing. Rotowire.com Today, 1:31 pm
       
    • Devin Williams (back) nearing mound work
      Brewers’ manager Pat Murphy told reporters on Saturday that Devin Williams (back) remains on track to return after the All-Star break.

      Advice: Murphy also noted that the 29-year-old hurler is expected to get on a mound soon as he continues his recovery from a pair of stress fractures in his back. While Trevor Megill has been outstanding in his stead, Williams is one of the premiere closers in all of baseball and should jump right back into the Brewers’ ninth inning role as soon as he’s healthy enough to do so.

    • Josiah Gray (elbow) to need two more rehab starts
      Nationals’ manager Dave Martinez told reporters on Saturday that Josiah Gray (elbow) will require two more minor league rehab starts before he’s ready to rejoin the team’s rotation.

      Advice: Gray made a rehab start at Double-A Harrisburg on Friday where he allowed just one run over four innings of work — throwing 41 pitches (27 strikes) in the session. He’ll go five innings his next time out and then will get to around 90 pitches or six innings in his final rehab start before he’s cleared to return. The 26-year-old hurler has been shelved for nearly two months now due to a flexor strain in his elbow. Rotoworld Today, 1:02 pm
       
    • Outright optioned
      Martin cleared waivers and was assigned to Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

      Advice: Martin was designated for assignment by Baltimore and after going unclaimed on waivers, he'll remain at Triple-A. The right-hander has struggled to a 7.45 ERA and 2.61 WHIP over 9.2 innings in eight appearances with Norfolk this season and his outright option opens a spot on the 40-man roster for the Orioles.

    • Orioles outright Corbin Martin to Triple-A
      Orioles sent RHP Corbin Martin outright to Triple-A Norfolk.

      Advice: Martin was claimed off waivers last month from the Brewers and has yet to make an appearance for Baltimore. The procedural move opens up a spot on the club’s 40-man roster moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 12:43 pm
       
    • Placed on 15-day IL
      Cimber was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Saturday.

      Advice: Cimber was touched up for four runs over one-third of an inning in Friday's 8-6 win over the Giants and he will now be forced to miss at least 15 days while nursing inflammation in his throwing shoulder. Right-hander Jose Marte had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday and he'll replace Cimber in the Angels' bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 12:17 pm
       
    • Expected to be opener Sunday
      Joyce is expected to operate as an opener for Sunday's matchup with the Giants, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

      Advice: Joyce will make his first career major-league start Sunday as the Angels will try to get two innings out of him before going to the bullpen. The right-hander has allowed five runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two batters over 3.2 innings in four appearances with Los Angeles this season. After Joyce serves as the opener, Jose Suarez and Carson Fulmer are considered candidates to handle the bulk role on the mound in the series finale with the Giants.

    • Adam Cimber heads to IL with shoulder inflammation
      Angels placed RHP Adam Cimber on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

      Advice: No word yet on how long Cimber will be sidelined. The 33-year-old righty has posted a calamitous 7.03 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 19/14 K/BB ratio across 24 1/3 innings (28 appearances) this season in his Angels debut. Rotoworld Today, 11:35 am
