    • Yankees move on from reliever Clayton Andrews
      Yankees designated LHP Clayton Andrews for assignment

      Advice: After signing LHP Tim Hill, the Yankees needed a spot on the 40-man roster, which meant moving on from Andrews. The 27-year-old allowed a solo home run while getting just one out in MLB action this year and also had a 5.84 ERA in 24 2/3 innings at Triple-A as well. Rotoworld Today, 8:15 am
       
    • Yankees sign reliever Tim Hill
      Yankees signed LHP Tim Hill.

      Advice: Hill was designated for assignment by the White Sox last Wednesday and was subsequently released after posting a 5.87 ERA, 2.22 WHIP, and 13/10 K/BB ratio across 23 innings (27 appearances) this season with the White Sox. The Yankees bullpen is banged up right now, so Hill will be a welcome addition as a healthy arm. Rotoworld Today, 7:55 am
       
    • Departs 40-man roster
      The Yankees designated Andrews for assignment Thursday.

      Advice: The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of lefty reliever Tim Hill, who was signed to a big-league contract. Andrews has allowed 11 earned runs in just 3.2 frames during his brief time in the majors. Rotowire.com Today, 7:52 am
       
    • Picks up third win
      Beeks (3-3) threw a scoreless ninth inning while allowing one hit and striking out one to earn the win Wednesday against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Beeks entered the game with the score knotted at 6-6. He delivered his sixth consecutive scoreless appearance, and in that span he has three holds and a win. Given the Rockies' struggles to find a reliable closer this season, Beeks may get a second look in the role. Rotowire.com Today, 7:47 am
       
    • Brings it once again
      Hudson threw two scoreless innings of relief and picked up his 11th hold of the season in Wednesday's victory over the Angels. He allowed a hit, struck out a batter and walked none.

      Advice: Hudson allowed two earned runs in his final appearance of May, but he gave up only two all season prior to that, and he has not allowed even one through 8.0 innings in June. Add it all up and Hudson now owns a minuscule 0.90 to along with a 0.65 WHIP and 46:8 K:BB over 40.0 innings out of Milwaukee's bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 7:45 am
       
    • Latches on with Yankees
      The Yankees signed Hill to a one-year contract Thursday.

      Advice: Hill was cut loose by the White Sox earlier this week after collecting a 5.87 ERA and 13:10 K:BB over 23 innings. He wasn't out of a job long, however, and will go directly onto the Yankees' major-league roster. Hill has had a rough two-year stretch, but he's been an effective reliever in the past, and the Yankees will see if the 34-year-old has more in the tank. Rotowire.com Today, 7:41 am
       
    • Third opinion recommends surgery
      Gasser is mulling whether to have surgery on his left elbow after a third opinion concurred with the second that an operation is likely needed at some point, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Gasser is dealing with UCL damage in the elbow and the Brewers are leaving the decision of surgery or rest and rehab up to the left-hander. He's been shut down from throwing for nearly three weeks already, so Gasser is facing a lengthy ramp-up even if he opts for the non-surgical route. If he decides to have surgery, Gasser would likely be sidelined for at least a year. Rotowire.com Today, 7:09 am
       
    • Looking at relief role initially
      Junis (shoulder) will be activated from the 60-day injured list this weekend in San Diego but could be used in relief initially, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Officially, the Brewers are saying Junis' role is TBD. However, they've already listed their four probable pitchers for the weekend and his name is not included. Junis could still rejoin the rotation eventually, perhaps as soon as next week, but Carlos F. Rodriguez is getting another start Saturday. The right-handed Junis threw four innings in a simulated game earlier this week, so he's stretched out for a possible long relief appearance this weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 6:43 am

    • Nails down 21st save
      Finnegan struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Wednesday to record his 21st save of the season in a 3-1 win over Arizona.

      Advice: The right-hander breezed through the Diamondbacks' 5-6-7 hitters on 14 pitches (11 strikes) en route to his eighth straight successful conversion. Finnegan has put together the best first half of his career with a 1.72 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB through 31.1 innings, but if the Nats fall out of the wild-card picture, he figures to become one of the team's biggest trade chips given that he has just one more year of arbitration eligibility in 2025 before reaching free agency.
