    • Twins recalled RHP Josh Winder from Triple-A
      Twins recalled RHP Josh Winder from Triple-A St. Paul.

      Advice: Winder will come up and pitch out of the bullpen. He’s taking the spot of David Festa, who allowed a combined 12 runs in his two starts with the Twins. Winder had a 4.78 ERA in 15 appearances at Triple-A this year. Rotoworld Today, 9:51 am
       
    • Likely to work in bulk relief
      Bivens is expected to serve as a bulk reliever behind opening pitcher Erik Miller in Friday's game against the Guardians, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Bivens tossed five innings of one-run ball in his first MLB start in his most recent appearance this past Sunday against the Dodgers, but he'll be available out of the bullpen for what's essentially his second turn through the rotation. The right-hander will most likely shift into a more traditional bullpen role after Friday, as the Giants should get one or both of Kyle Harrison (ankle) or Blake Snell (groin) back from the injured list by next week.

    • Moved to 60-day IL
      Atlanta transferred Kerr (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

      Advice: The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Eli White. Kerr is out for the 2024 and perhaps all of 2025 after having Tommy John surgery last month. Rotowire.com Today, 9:47 am

    • Grabs sixth win Thursday
      Stanek (6-2) got the win over the Orioles on Thursday, firing a clean seventh inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.

      Advice: Stanek entered the game a bit earlier than customary and delivered a crisp 11-pitch effort that saw him locate nine of his offerings for strikes. The hard-throwing right-hander then became the pitcher of record when the Mariners broke open a 2-2 tie with a five-run inning in the home half of the frame. Stanek's six victories are a career high, and the ultra-efficient outing against a dangerous offense was a welcome sight after the Twins had touched him up for two runs over one inning in his most recent appearance Sunday.

    • Stuck with loss Thursday
      Houser (1-5) took the loss Thursday against the Nationals, striking out two but giving up a solo home run in an inning of relief.

      Advice: The Mets managed only one hit on the day, but Jose Quintana kept the game scoreless through seven innings. Houser took the mound for the eighth and served up a one-out blast to Jesse Winker, and that was all the offense the Nats needed. It was the first long ball Houser had allowed in 23.2 innings since being shifted to the bullpen in late May, and the 31-year-old right-hander has been mostly effective in relief, posting a 1.52 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB during that stretch.

    • Added to bullpen
      The Twins recalled Winder from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday.

      Advice: Winder has spent all of this season in the minors after recovering from a shoulder issue, having posted a 4.78 ERA and 28:8 K:BB over 26.1 innings with St. Paul. He will give the Twins a bullpen arm capable of going multiple innings. Rotowire.com Today, 8:23 am
       
    • Throws bullpen session
      Assad (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: Assad is just a little over a week removed from landing on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm extensor strain, so it's a good sign that he's already been cleared to throw off the bump. The Cubs have a doubleheader on July 13, and Assad being ready by that date could be in the cards if all goes well. Rotowire.com Today, 8:20 am

    • Will open Friday's game
      Miller will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher in Friday's game in Cleveland, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: It's a role Miller is familiar with and succeeded at, having opened eight times already this season and allowed two runs (one earned) over 8.2 innings. Spencer Bivens is a candidate for bulk relief Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 8:16 am

    • Hits rough patch
      Slated allowed two runs on two walks and struck out one over two-thirds of an inning in Thursday's 6-5 extra-innings win over Miami.

      Advice: Slaten managed to pick up his ninth hold of the season, but he walked the eighth- and ninth-place batters and was replaced by Brendan Bernadino, who allowed both inherited runners to score. Slaten, a Rule 5 selection that has performed well overall, has hit a rough patch of late. In his last eight outings, the right-hander has allowed eight runs (seven earned, 5.73 ERA) on nine hits (two home runs) and four walks over 11 innings. Prior to that, Slaten owned a 2.73 ERA and walked just four batters in 29.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 7:10 am
