    • A’s activate and option Joe Boyle to Triple-A
      A’s activated RHP Joe Boyle from the 15-day injured list; optioned him to Triple-A Las Vegas.

      Advice: Boyle will remain stationed at Triple-A Las Vegas as extra starting pitching depth after wrapping up a minor league rehab assignment. The 24-year-old’s control issues put a lid on his ceiling at the highest level as he remains a work in progress. He compiled a bloated 7.16 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 29/23 K/BB ratio across 27 2/3 innings (seven starts) prior to landing on the shelf last month with a back strain. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago
       
    • Starting on Friday
      Harris will start Friday's contest against the Blue Jays, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The Athletics initially had Harris listed as their starter for Saturday's game and Luis Medina slated to start Friday, but they've now flip-flopped the order. Harris struck out seven while yielding three runs (one earned) over 5.2 innings against the Rays last week in his first start of the season with Oakland. That came after he permitted four runs in nine frames covering two extended relief appearances. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
       
    • Placed on injured list
      The Pirates placed Priester on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right lat injury, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Priester allowed four earned runs in 4.2 innings during his latest start Sunday, and he appears to have come away from the game with lat problems. His move to the IL is retroactive to Monday, so the 24-year-old righty will be eligible for activation beginning June 18. In the meantime, Justin Bruihl, who signed a big-league contract with the Pirates on Thursday, will fill the open spot on Pittsburgh's pitching staff. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
       
    • Expected back in majors soon
      Meyer will make another start at Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday, but Marlins manager Skip Schumaker said he expects the young right-hander to be back in the majors "soon," Nate Karzmer of Fish on First reports.

      Advice: Schumaker made the statement earlier this week during an interview on the Fish Unfiltered podcast. The Marlins have an opening in their rotation Saturday against the Guardians, but that's expected to go to Roddery Munoz while Meyer makes his scheduled start Friday with Jacksonville. The 22-year-old Meyer struggled initially upon his workload-related demotion to Jacksonville back in April, but he's been better of late with a 17:4 K:BB in 11 innings covering his last three starts. Meyer hasn't gone more than four innings in any outing since the demotion as the Marlins rein in his workload in his first year back from Tommy John surgery. His starts could continue to be abbreviated when he rejoins the big club, but it does sound like Meyer will be back in the majors sooner rather than later. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
       
    • In line to start Saturday
      Munoz is likely to be recalled to start Saturday versus the Guardians, Nate Karzmer of Fish on First reports.

      Advice: Karzmer dropped the news following an interview with Marlins manager Skip Schumaker, although it's not clear whether Schumaker is the one who tipped Karzmer off. It's the rotation spot vacated by the injured Sixto Sanchez (shoulder). Munoz has collected a 5.17 ERA and 19:7 K:BB over 15.2 innings covering three starts with the Marlins this season.

    • Cade Povich surrenders six runs in MLB debut
      Cade Povich was charged for six runs in 5 1/3 innings while picking up a loss Thursday to the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Povich has dealt with command issues in the minors, and unfortunately his control was a problem in his MLB debut with four walks. He also allowed five hits while fanning just two. The 24-year-old has the stuff to succeed, but fantasy managers saw the issues that could prevent him from doing so right now. If Povich starts again, the 24-year-old will likely face Atlanta next week. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago
       
    • Getting another start Saturday
      Harris is scheduled to start Saturday's game against the Blue Jays in Oakland, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

      Advice: The Athletics' decisions to designate Aaron Brooks for assignment over the weekend and to option Joe Boyle to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday after activating him from the injured list had already suggested that Harris was on track to remain in the rotation. Harris had previously made two long-relief appearances for Oakland this season before drawing a start in Tampa Bay last Thursday, when he struck out seven over three runs (one earned) over 5.2 innings in a no-decision. The southpaw has turned in a 7.67 ERA and 1.79 WHIP over his eight starts at Las Vegas this season and produced a 7.14 ERA over 63 innings in the big leagues in 2023, so fantasy managers should tread carefully with Harris for now even after his solid showing in his last outing.

    • Drawing another start
      Herz is slated to start Sunday's game against Atlanta at Nationals Park, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The rookie will get a tough draw in his second MLB start, as he'll not only oppose a formidable Atlanta offense in a hitter-friendly environment, but he'll also be matching up head-to-head with one of the National League's top pitchers in Max Fried. After getting called up from Triple-A Rochester on Tuesday, Herz took a loss in his big-league debut against the Mets, giving up four earned runs on seven hits and two walks over four innings.

    • Getting second start
      Woodford is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Red Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field.

      Advice: The White Sox called Woodford up from Triple-A Charlotte last week to fill the opening in the rotation that was created by Mike Clevinger's (elbow) placement on the 15-day injured list. Woodford's White Sox debut wasn't a memorable one -- he gave up three earned runs on five hits and two walks while striking out four over 4.1 innings in a May 28 loss to the Blue Jays -- but he'll get at least one more turn through the rotation while the team waits on Clevinger's return.
