  • Joins Seattle bullpen
    The Mariners recalled Bolton from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

    Advice: He's absorbing the roster spot vacated by Emerson Hancock, who was sent back down following a spot start Thursday. Bolton has made 15 relief appearances for the Mariners this season, collecting a 4.41 ERA and 14:8 K:BB over 16.1 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 10:44 am
     
  • Covers three frames in bulk relief
    Yarbrough tossed three relief innings against Texas on Thursday, allowing one run on two hits and four walks while striking out three batters.

    Advice: With Yoshinobu Yamamoto's scheduled start pushed back to Saturday, Los Angeles opted for a bullpen game in the finale of a three-game set against the Rangers. Michael Grove opened and took the loss after allowing two runs in one inning, before Yarbrough settled things down a bit despite issuing a season-high four free passes. Yarbrough has shifted between a starting role and a relief role throughout his career, but he's made all 19 of his appearances so far this year out of the bullpen. The southpaw has covered two or more innings in 11 of those outings, and overall he's posted a 3.11 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 22:16 K:BB over 46.1 frames. Rotowire.com Today, 10:22 am
     
  • DFA'd by Miami
    The Marlins designated Smith for assignment Friday.

    Advice: The right-hander was acquired from the Rays in late March and posted a 4.25 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB over 29.2 innings for the Marlins. Smith could head to Triple-A Jacksonville if he passes through waivers unclaimed. Rotowire.com Today, 10:17 am
     
  • Recalled to start Friday
    The Marlins recalled Anderson from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

    Advice: Anderson will start Friday's game against the Nationals. The right-hander's two major-league appearances this season came in relief with the Rangers, but he's posted a 2.51 ERA and 31:4 K:BB over 28.2 innings across six starts at Triple-A in 2024. Rotowire.com Today, 10:16 am
     
  • Stress reaction in neck
    Brown has been diagnosed with a stress reaction in his neck, Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Brown was placed on the 15-day injured list earlier this week with what was referred to as a neck strain at the time. With this more serious diagnosis, he is likely to be sidelined longer than the minimum 15 days, although a clearer timeline isn't yet available. Jordan Wicks has re-entered the Cubs' rotation in Brown's place. Rotowire.com Today, 9:37 am

  • Tagged with loss Thursday
    Law (3-2) took the loss Thursday against the Tigers, coughing up four runs on four hits in 1.1 innings of relief. He struck out one.

    Advice: The journeyman right-hander wasted a strong effort by Patrick Corbin, giving up a solo shot to Justyn-Henry Malloy in the sixth inning before the wheels came off completely for Law in the seventh. He's handled a versatile role out of the Nationals' bullpen this season, recording six holds and three wins in 33 appearances with a 3.48 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 41:13 K:BB through 41.1 innings, but the heavy workload may be catching up to him -- Law's been scored up in four of his last eight trips to the mound, and he's been taken deep twice in his last three games.

  • Nabs win in return
    Diaz (2-1) struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Thursday to pick up the win over the Marlins.

    Advice: The right-hander looked good in his first appearance since May 25, topping out at 99.6 mph with his fastball. Diaz had been on the IL with a shoulder impingement before being activated Thursday, but he hadn't been his usual dominant self even before getting shut down -- so far in 2024 he has a 16.7 percent whiff rate, one of the lowest marks of his career and a massive drop from the 25.2 percent rate he delivered last year. While his results were impressive Thursday, Diaz managed only two swinging strikes on 15 pitches, suggesting that he may not be fully back in form yet. Rotowire.com Today, 8:49 am
