  • Jake Bird (groin) goes back on IL for Rockies
    Rockies placed RHP Jake Bird on the 15-day IL, retroactive to June 23, with a right groin strain.

    Advice: No countermove was immediately announced. Bird had allowed two runs in 2 1/3 innings of relief work since returning from elbow inflammation on June 17. Rotoworld Today, 10:24 am
     
  • Chris Roycroft joins Cardinals as 27th man
    Chris Roycroft will serve as the Cardinals’ 27th man in the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Braves.

    Advice: Roycroft has a 3.07 ERA in 12 relief appearances for the Cardinals this season. There’s a good chance he’ll appear in Game 2 tonight, as the Cardinals aren’t expecting spot starter Matthew Liberatore to go deep. Rotoworld Today, 10:21 am
     
  • Brewers DFA Joel Kuhnel after one day on roster
    Brewers designated RHP Joel Kuhnel for assignment.

    Advice: Kuhnel, who has a 6.30 ERA in 77 appearances since debuting with the Reds in 2019, didn’t pitch in his one day on Milwaukee’s roster. Rotoworld Today, 10:13 am
     
  • Moved off 40-man roster
    The Brewers designated Kuhnel for assignment Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Kuhnel was on the Brewers' 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for one day and didn't make a relief appearance. He can elect free agency if he passes through waivers unclaimed. Rotowire.com Today, 10:08 am
     
  • David Daniel to start Thursday for Angels
    Davis Daniel was scratched from his Triple-A start and will pitch for the angels on Thursday.

    Advice: The Angels are down bad in the rotation at the moment, so the 27-year-old Daniel will slot in tomorrow. The right-hander has a 5.33 ERA in 14 starts for Salt Lake, but that’s largely the product of a .378 BABIP. He’s struck out 82, walked 25 and allowed just five homers in 76 innings.

  • Removed from 40-man roster
    The Rangers designated Rodriguez for assignment Wednesday.

    Advice: Rodriguez was the add man out after the Rangers needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster. He turned in a 6.88 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over 17 innings during his time in the majors this season and stands a good chance of clearing waivers. Rotowire.com Today, 9:24 am
     
  • Shifted to 60-day IL
    The Rangers transferred Winn (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

    Advice: Winn was placed on the 15-day IL earlier this week with what was referred to as right shoulder discomfort, but the Rangers are now classifying the injury as a sprained shoulder capsule. The expectation is that he will be sidelined for eight weeks, per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. Rotowire.com Today, 9:21 am

  • Cole Winn moved to 60-day IL by Rangers
    Rangers transferred RHP Cole Winn from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list due to a right shoulder sprain.

    Advice: Winn complained of shoulder soreness after being sent down to Triple-A last week, causing the Rangers to void his option and put him on the major league IL. He’ll miss at least two months now. Rotoworld Today, 9:17 am

  • Rangers designate Yerry Rodríguez for assignment
    Rangers designated RHP Yerry Rodríguez for assignment.

    Advice: Rodríguez, 26, looked like he might turn into a quality reliever a couple of years ago, but he has a 7.11 ERA and a 28/17 K/BB in 31 2/3 innings for the Rangers since making his major league debut in 2022, and his minor league numbers haven’t been very good, either. With his velocity having declined some, it’s possible he’ll clear waivers. Still, since he can be stashed in Triple-A, it seems more likely that a rebuilding club will give him a look.
