  • Rangers option Yerry Rodríguez back to Triple-A
    Rangers optioned RHP Yerry Rodríguez to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: Rodríguez heads back to the minors with veteran Max Scherzer coming off the injured list on Sunday to make his season debut. The 26-year-old righty has struggled to an inflated 6.88 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 12/11 K/BB ratio across 17 innings (12 appearances) this season in the big leagues. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:11 am
     
  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Rangers optioned Rodriguez to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

    Advice: Rodriguez was recalled by the big club for the third time June 18, but he did not make an appearance out of the Rangers' bullpen. Over 12 major-league appearances this season, Rodriguez has a 6.88 ERA and 1.59 WHIP over 17 innings. His move to Triple-A is to make room for Max Scherzer (back/thumb), who was reinstated off the 60-day injured list ahead of his start Sunday against the Royals. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:04 am
     
  • Returns to active roster
    The Marlins selected Emanuel's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.

    Advice: Miami designated Emanuel for assignment Wednesday, but he stuck around in the organization and will now return to the big-league club just a few days later as the Marlins contend with a plethora of injuries to their pitching staff. The 32-year-old southpaw has worked exclusively as a reliever throughout his big-league career, but he has experience as a starter in the minors and will provide some length out of the Miami bullpen.

  • Marlins bring back Kent Emanuel on Sunday
    Marlins selected the contract of LHP Kent Emanuel from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Emanuel returns for another stint with Miami after being sent outright to the minors a handful of times earlier this season. The 32-year-old southpaw has made four relief appearances for the Marlins so far. Rotoworld Sunday, 8:20 am
     
  • Removed from game
    Bird was taken out of Saturday's game against the Nationals with a groin injury, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Bird had allowed one run on two hits and a walk in one-third of an inning before he was checked out by trainers and removed from the contest. While the severity of the groin injury is unclear, it's at least a small positive that his removal wasn't related to the elbow inflammation that sidelined him for almost a month.

  • Marlins outright Kent Emanuel to Triple-A
    Marlins sent LHP Kent Emanuel outright to Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: The 32-year-old left-hander had been designated for assignment on Wednesday, but he passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the Marlins. Emanuel holds a 7.56 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and a 6/3 K/BB ratio over 8 1/3 innings with the Marlins this season. Rotoworld Friday, 3:47 pm
     
  • Yankees designate Victor González for assignment
    Yankees designated LHP Victor González for assignment.

    Advice: González had a 3.86 ERA in 27 appearances with New York, but the Yankees had a bit of a roster crunch and need a fresh arm after the 17-5 laugher that necessitated nearly eight full innings from the bullpen on Thursday. Rotoworld Friday, 12:42 pm
     
  • Jettisoned from 40-man roster
    The Yankees designated Gonzalez for assignment Friday.

    Advice: Gonzalez was acquired via trade from the Dodgers over the offseason and didn't pitch well in pinstripes, holding a 3.86 ERA but an ugly 11:13 K:BB over 23.1 innings. The 28-year-old had a career 3.22 ERA and 86:31 K:BB in 89.1 innings coming into 2024, so there could be interest by way of waivers or trade. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:21 pm
     
  • Cardinals option Chris Roycroft to Triple-A
    Cardinals optioned RHP Chris Roycroft to Triple-A Memphis.

    Advice: Roycroft has shuttled back-and-forth between the Cardinals’ bullpen and Triple-A Memphis over the last few months and will likely continue to do so for the rest of the year. The 26-year-old righty has pitched to a solid 3.07 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and 13/8 K/BB ratio across 14 2/3 innings (12 appearances) this season in the big leagues. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:32 pm
