  • Called up Saturday
    Dubin was called up from Triple-A Sugar Land on Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Dubin will return to Houston after being sent down May 17. The right-hander has appeared in nine games with the Astros this season, producing an inflated 6.59 ERA and 1.61 WHIP over 13.2 innings on the mound. Rotowire.com Today, 9:52 am
  • Blue Jays put closer Jordan Romano (elbow) on IL
    Blue Jays placed RHP Jordan Romano on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.

    Advice: Romano heads to the injured list after being unavailable Friday due to elbow soreness. The 31-year-old stopper underwent an MRI on Friday that didn’t reveal any structural damage, which is an encouraging development. There should be a clearer timetable for his return at some point in the coming days once he’s cleared to resume throwing. Fantasy managers should anticipate him missing at least a few weeks. It’ll most likely be Yimi García or Chad Green taking over as Toronto’s temporary closer for now. Rotoworld Today, 9:50 am
  • Returns to Triple-A
    Speas was optioned to Triple-A Sugarland on Saturday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Speas will head back to Sugar Land after appearing in Friday's 6-1 loss to Minnesota, allowing one run on two hits and a walk while striking out two batters over a pair of frames on the mound. Shawn Dubin was recalled from Triple-A to replace him in Houston's bullpen Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 9:50 am
  • Astros recall Shawn Dubin on Saturday
    Astros recalled RHP Shawn Dubin from Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: Dubin rejoins Houston’s bullpen prior to Saturday’s showdown against the Twins. The 28-year-old righty made nine relief appearances earlier this season for the Astros, posting a lackluster 6.59 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 13/7 K/BB ratio across 13 2/3 innings of work. Rotoworld Today, 9:26 am
  • Astros option Alex Speas back to Triple-A
    Astros optioned RHP Alex Speas to Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: Speas heads back to the minors to enable the Astros to bring up a fresh arm ahead of Saturday’s contest against the Twins. The 26-year-old righty has made only one relief appearance this season in the big leagues since being claimed off waivers from the Athletics. Rotoworld Today, 9:24 am
  • Evaluation coming next week
    Muller (shoulder) is slated to be evaluated by team doctors next week, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Muller was scratched from his start Thursday and subsequently placed on the injured list due to left shoulder tendinitis, and he's been shut down from throwing for the time being. Team doctors will take a closer look in the coming days at how the rest might be aiding his progress, and a determination of when Muller might be able to begin a throwing program will be made at that point.

  • Nabs third win Friday
    Stanek (3-0) got the win over the Angels on Friday, firing a perfect eighth inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.

    Advice: Stanek came into the game tasked with preserving a newly minted 4-4 tie and quickly retired Luis Rengifo, Mickey Moniak and Taylor Ward -- the latter two on swinging strikeouts. The veteran right-hander then became the pitcher of record when Ty France slugged a go-ahead home run in the home half of the frame. Stanek now has four consecutive two-strikeout, one-inning appearances, and he's posted a 2-0 record with a 2.70 ERA, 0.45 WHIP, one save and two holds in his last seven outings overall.

  • Progresses beyond flat ground
    Hendriks (elbow) threw fastballs and breaking balls off the front of the mound Thursday, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Moving to any part of a mound represents another step forward in Hendriks' rehab from Tommy John surgery. The reliever had previously thrown off flat ground only. Rotowire.com Today, 6:32 am
  • Short outing Friday
    Sanchez came away with a no-decision in Friday's 8-2 win over the Rangers, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over four-plus innings. He didn't strike out a batter.

    Advice: After throwing at least 76 pitches in each of his three prior starts, Sanchez saw his workload ratcheted back in this one as he tossed only 53 pitches (29 strikes), getting the hook after allowing back-to-back hits to lead off the fifth inning. The right-hander is still looking for his first win of the season -- and first since Sept. 13, 2020. He has completed five innings only once since getting a chance to start, but he figures to continue plugging a hole in the Marlins' rotation until Edward Cabrera (shoulder) gets healthy or the team decides to bring Max Meyer back up. Sanchez will carry a 6.06 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 17:14 K:BB through 35.2 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Guardians. Rotowire.com Today, 6:26 am
