  • Goes on paternity leave
    The Guardians placed Hentges on the paternity leave list Monday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Hentges will likely miss the entire three-game set against the Rangers before rejoining the club this weekend for its series versus the Twins. Peter Strzelecki is taking Hentges' spot in Cleveland's bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 2:58 pm
  • Slated for rehab assignment
    Francis (forearm) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Francis is slated for two innings and/or 40-to-45 pitches in the outing. While it would appear Francis will be stretched back out as a starter on his rehab assignment, he appears more likely to fill a long-relief role once he's back with the Blue Jays. Rotowire.com Today, 2:56 pm
  • Could be activated Tuesday
    Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Smith (shoulder) could return from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, Smith's minor-league rehab assignment is considered complete, so the Mets will merely need to decide which player will come off the 26-man active roster to create room for the right-handed reliever. Before hitting the shelf April 27 with shoulder inflammation, Smith logged three holds and one save over his 10 appearances out of the Mets bullpen while pitching to a 2.70 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across 10 innings.

  • Guardians place Hentges on paternity list
    Guardians placed RHP Sam Hentges on the paternity list.

    Advice: Hentges will miss 1-3 days. He’s pitched 3 1/3 hitless innings over three appearances since returning from a finger issue that cost him the first five weeks. Rotoworld Today, 2:36 pm
  • Guardians recall Peter Strzelecki from Triple-A
    Guardians recalled RHP Peter Strzelecki from Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: Strzelecki deserves a longer look after pitching four scoreless innings in his first stint with the Guardians, but since he’s just taking the spot of a reliever going on the paternity list, it probably won’t happen. After all, he’s joining the pen with the best ERA (2.43 in 159 IP) in baseball. Rotoworld Today, 2:35 pm
  • Brewers reinstate Payamps from bereavement list
    Brewers reinstated RHP Joel Payamps from the bereavement list.

    Advice: Payamps will be available tonight after a weekend away. He’ll probably pitch in front of Trevor Megill for the most part. Rotoworld Today, 2:22 pm
  • Getting shoulder checked out
    Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Almonte is getting imaging done on his right shoulder Monday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

The right-handed reliever had posted a 3.45 ERA and 1.09 WHIP over 15.2 innings out of the Chicago bullpen while gathering one win, one save and six holds prior to landing on the IL.
