  • Cubs recall Keegan Thompson from Triple-A
    Cubs recalled RHP Keegan Thompson from Triple-A

    Advice: Thompson posted a serviceable 4.97 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 19/6 K/BB ratio across 12 2/3 innings (nine appearances) earlier this season for the Cubs. The 29-year-old righty provides Chicago’s bullpen with some extra long relief depth moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 10:31 am
     
  • Back in big leagues
    Vespi was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

    Advice: Vespi will return to the major-league bullpen after being sent down June 6, replacing Kyle Bradish (elbow) on the Orioles' roster following Bradish's placement on the 15-day injured list Saturday. The left-hander has made two appearances with Baltimore this season, tossing two scoreless innings while allowing two hits. Rotowire.com Today, 10:27 am
     
  • Orioles recall Nick Vespi on Saturday
    Orioles recalled LHP Nick Vespi from Triple-A Norfolk.

    Advice: Vespi gets the call back to the majors with Kyle Bradish heading to the injured list with a UCL sprain in his right elbow. The 28-year-old lefty has made a pair of relief appearances this season for the Orioles. Rotoworld Today, 10:21 am
     
  • Handed loss Friday
    Webb (1-4) allowed two runs (one earned) on one hit and one walk while striking out one over one inning to take the extra-innings loss versus the Phillies.

    Advice: Alec Bohm delivered a two-run double in the 11th inning, and the Orioles couldn't produce a fourth comeback in the contest. That play ended an 11-inning scoreless streak for Webb, who has been steady in a setup role for Baltimore this season. Overall, he has a 1.95 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 29:15 K:BB while adding two saves and seven holds across 32.1 innings. Webb's 4.2 BB/9 is not outside of his usual level of performance but is still high, so he may have trouble sustaining his strong ratios over a full season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:11 am
     
  • Marlins add Kent Emanuel to relief mix on Saturday
    Marlins selected the contract of LHP Kent Emanuel from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Emanuel provides Miami’s overworked bullpen with a fresh arm heading into Saturday’s game against the division-rival Nationals. The 32-year-old lefty made a pair of relief appearances back in April for the Marlins. Rotoworld Today, 10:07 am
     
  • Marlins jettison Shaun Anderson back to Triple-A
    Marlins optioned RHP Shaun Anderson to Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Anderson was torched for seven runs on 10 hits over two-plus innings on Friday in a spot start against the Nationals. The 29-year-old journeyman will head back to the minors to await his next opportunity. Rotoworld Today, 10:05 am
     
  • Working behind opener Saturday
    Henry is expected to work in bulk relief behind opening pitcher Scott McGough in Saturday's game against the White Sox, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: After being called up from Triple-A Reno last Sunday, Henry worked behind McGough and picked up a win against the Padres, despite giving up two earned runs over three hits and two walks over 2.1 innings. Henry hasn't been used since that relief outing, so he should be able to give Arizona plenty of length once McGough exits Saturday's contest. Rotowire.com Today, 9:41 am
     
  • Abner Uribe to undergo right knee surgery

    Advice: Uribe picked up a handful of saves at the outset of the year for Milwaukee before struggling to the point that he was demoted by the start of May to Triple-A Nashville. The hard-throwing 23-year-old righty is expected to undergo a surgical procedure in the coming days to repair a lateral meniscus tear in his right knee. Rotoworld Today, 9:02 am
