  • White Sox option Prelander Berroa to Triple-A
    White Sox optioned RHP Prelander Berroa to Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: Berrora came into Tuesday’s game against the Royals in the eighth inning where he got out of a bases loaded jam when Kyle Farmer grounded out to third base. The 24-year-old has struggled at the minor league level with a 8.74 ERA in his 11 appearances (two starts) with Charlotte. He’ll have to continue to develop before he becomes an option the White Sox can rely on in high-leverage situations. Rotoworld Today, 8:28 am
     
  • Joins bullpen
    The White Sox recalled Shuster from Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

    Advice: Chris Flexen will start for the White Sox on Wednesday versus the Twins and has bounced between the rotation and bullpen lately, so Shuster will give Chicago an option for long relief, if needed. The lefty has allowed just one run over 6.1 innings in two relief appearances with the big club this season. Rotowire.com Today, 8:27 am
     
  • Heads back to minors
    The White Sox optioned Berroa to Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.

    Advice: Berroa made just one appearance during his time with the White Sox, retiring one batter and hitting another with a pitch in Tuesday's loss to the Twins. The White Sox will replace him on the active roster with Jared Shuster, who was recalled from Triple-A and will give the bullpen more length. Rotowire.com Today, 8:24 am
     
  • Gets start Friday
    Keller is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Cardinals at Busch Stadium.

    Advice: Keller was called up from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday and proceeded to make his White Sox debut as a reliever Monday, when he tossed 1.2 scoreless innings against the Twins. The White Sox haven't indicated that Keller will be joining the rotation on a permanent basis, as the team might have just wanted to build in an extra day of rest for Erick Fedde, who will take the hill Saturday after tossing 8.1 innings and 108 pitches in his most recent outing last Sunday versus the Rays. Keller will be taking the mound Friday on three days' rest, so he could face a light workload restriction, even though he had worked five-plus innings in each of his three starts with Charlotte prior to his call-up.

  • Grabs first win
    Scott (1-4) earned the win Tuesday over Colorado, allowing an unearned run on a hit and a walk in one inning. He struck out two.

    Advice: Scott allowed the free runner to score in the top of the 10th inning on a two-out Ryan McMahon double before ultimately striking out Hunter Goodman to end the frame. The Marlins would then score twice in the bottom half, completing the comeback victory and giving Scott his first win this year. The left-hander hasn't allowed an earned run in his last six appearances -- he's 4-for-5 in save chances this year with a 2.84 ERA, 1.66 WHIP and 12:13 K:BB across 12.2 innings.

  • Picks up another start
    Lambert is scheduled to start Thursday's game in Miami.

    Advice: After making his first start of the season April 21 versus the Mariners, Lambert made his most recent appearance out of the bullpen, as he covered 2.2 innings in long relief April 25 after starter Dakota Hudson was pulled from the contest midway through the fourth inning. After having off days last Friday and this past Monday, the Rockies were able to temporarily get by with a four-man rotation, but Lambert will return to starting role this week as the team returns to a five-man rotation.

  • Tigers option Matt Manning to Triple-A
    Tigers optioned RHP Matt Manning to Triple-A Toledo.

    Advice: Manning pitched in yesterday’s doubleheader against the Cardinals where he struck out seven and allowed four earned runs across 4 2/3 innings of work. He holds a 4.24 ERA, 1.18 WHIP with a 17/8 K/BB ratio in his three starts with the Tigers this season. He’s more likely than not going to get more opportunities in the majors, but his fantasy value isn’t much unless there’s an injury to Detroit’s starting rotation. Rotoworld Today, 7:23 am
     
  • Cardinals option Kyle Leahy to Triple-A
    Cardinals optioned RHP Kyle Leahy to Triple-A Memphis.

    Advice: The 26-year-old right-hander was called up to be the 27th man for the second game of a doubleheader on Tuesday. Leahy allowed two hits and two earned runs in 1 1/3 innings of work against the Tigers. He’ll head back down to Triple-A where he’s posted a 5.84 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 14/4 K/BB ratio across 12 1/3 innings this season. Rotoworld Today, 7:09 am
     
  • Dominant in latest rehab start
    Manoah (shoulder) struck out 12 batters over six innings in a rehab start Tuesday for Triple-A Buffalo. He gave up one earned run on two hits and two walks.

    Advice: The 12 strikeouts were a new career high for Manoah at the professional level, and the dominant outing offers hope that the right-hander may have finally turned the corner after struggling mightily since the start of the 2023 season with his control, command and velocity. Though Manoah was placed on the 15-day injured list in late March with right shoulder inflammation, the injury doesn't seem to be a concern at this stage, as the Blue Jays have just been waiting him to perform at a level that warrants a return to the big-league rotation. He certainly looked big-league ready Tuesday, as he spotted 62 of his 92 pitches for strikes while sporting a sinker that maxed out at 95.9 miles per hour, according to Sportsnet.ca. With No. 5 starter Yariel Rodriguez (spine) joining Bowden Francis (forearm) on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, the Blue Jays have an opening in the rotation for Sunday's game in Nationals, and Manoah looks like he could be called upon to fill the void. While Manoah would still profile as a risky streaming option if he gets the nod Sunday, his prior success in the majors before last season at the very least makes him an intriguing pickup if he's on the waiver wire.
