  • Designated for assignment
    The Marlins designated Tyler for assignment Saturday.

    Advice: A week after being selected from Triple-A Jacksonville, Tyler will now lose his spot on Miami's 40-man roster. He made one appearance during his brief time in the majors, allowing one earned run in two innings during Friday's loss to Washington. Kent Emanuel was selected from Jacksonville in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Marlins add Kent Emanuel to relief mix Saturday
    Marlins selected the contract of LHP Kent Emanuel from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Emanuel is back for another stint with the Marlins after one relief appearance earlier this month in his first big-league outing since 2021. The 31-year-old southpaw provides Miami’s bullpen with a fresh arm for the rest of this weekend’s series against the Nationals. Rotoworld 9 minutes ago
     
  • Selected from Triple-A
    The Marlins selected Emanuel's contract from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday.

    Advice: Emanuel appeared in one game for the Marlins in early April, allowing four earned runs across three innings out of the bullpen. He's been much more successful since being sent down to the minors, and he'll now get another chance to stick around in Miami as a multi-inning reliever. Kyle Tyler was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Marlins designate Kyle Tyler for assignment
    Marlins designated RHP Kyle Tyler for assignment.

    Advice: Tyler figures to draw some interest on waivers after pitching well on Friday night in his Marlins debut, allowing on run over two innings in relief against the Nationals. The 27-year-old righty will presumably stick around with Miami as extra relief depth, if he winds up clearing waivers. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago
     
  • D-backs optimistic Zac Gallen makes next start
    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo expressed optimism late Friday that Zac Gallen (hamstring) will make his next start.

    Advice: Gallen was removed from Friday’s start against the Mariners in the sixth inning for precautionary reasons after experiencing right hamstring tightness. The 28-year-old righty has dealt with similar hamstring issues in the past, which is why Arizona didn’t want to take any chances. There should be some clarity on his status at some point in a few days when he throws his usual between-starts bullpen session, but for the moment, fantasy managers should plan on him taking the ball on Wednesday against the Dodgers at Chase Field.

  • Nick Pivetta (elbow) targeting early May return
    Nick Pivetta (elbow) faced hitters on Saturday in a live batting practice session.

    Advice: The tentative plan is for Pivetta to make a minor league rehab start later next week before returning to Boston’s starting rotation the following week to take the ball during a brief two-game set against the Braves. The 31-year-old righty has been on the shelf since early April due to a mild right elbow strain. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago

  • Taj Bradley to make rehab start Sunday at Triple-A
    Taj Bradley (pectoral) will make a minor league rehab start on Sunday for Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: Bradley threw 62 pitches over four innings earlier this week in an extended spring training contest and will face Triple-A level hitters this weekend as he continues to work his way back from a mid-March right pectoral strain. The 23-year-old righty should be ready to rejoin Tampa Bay’s starting rotation mix at some point in early May, barring any unexpected setbacks. Rotoworld Today, 8:17 am
     
  • MRI comes back clean on Pete Fairbanks’ arm
    An MRI on Pete Fairbanks’ right arm came back clean for any structural damage.

    Advice: Fairbanks landed on the injured list earlier this week with an undisclosed nerve-related condition, so it’s at least an encouraging development that additional imaging didn’t turn up any structural damage. The 30-year-old righty has indicated that his latest issue is unrelated to previous flareups of Raynaud’s syndrome that he’s dealt with. Given the uncertainty surrounding his diagnosis, there isn’t a clear timetable for his return. Rotoworld Today, 8:14 am
     
  • Scheduled for back-to-back outings
    Gibault (forearm) is scheduled to throw back-to-back games next week, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: After experiencing renewed discomfort in his forearm, Gibault had a rehab assignment paused April 16 before returning to pitch Wednesday and again Friday. Next up are the back-to-back outings scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. Presumably, that would be the right-handed reliever's final hurdle before activation. Rotowire.com Today, 7:41 am
