    • Leaves game with back tightness
      Hendricks was removed in the third inning of Saturday's game against the Angels due to lower back tightness, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: Hendricks lasted just two innings Saturday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one. The 34-year-old right-hander was on the injured list earlier in the season due to lower-back strain, and it appears he aggravated the injury. Expect an update on the severity of the injury following Saturday's game. Rotowire.com Today, 12:26 pm

    • Set to begin rehab assignment
      Merryweather (ribs) threw a live batting practice Saturday, and manager Craig Counsell said the 32-year-old right-hander will be out on rehab assignment with High-A South Bend next week, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Merryweather landed on the injured list April 7 with a right shoulder strain, and he was transferred to the 60-day IL 10 days later after additional testing revealed a rib stress fracture in his right back. He's been slowly working his way through baseball activities, and he'll likely need multiple rehab outings as he looks to return to the big club after the All-Star break.

    • Released by Oakland
      The Athletics released Newcomb on Saturday.

      Advice: Newcomb was DFA'd by Oakland on Tuesday after he allowed seven earned runs in 10 innings with the major-league team. He's been relatively successful in Triple-A, posting a 3.22 ERA in 36.1 innings over the past two seasons, so he shouldn't have trouble securing a minor-league deal. However, he would likely need to show sustained success in Triple-A before getting another chance in the big leagues. Rotowire.com Today, 12:20 pm
       
    • White Sox plan to limit Garrett Crochet’s workload
      White Sox manager Pedro Grifol told reporters Saturday that Garrett Crochet will likely have a limited pitch count in his final start prior to the All-Star break.

      Advice: Crochet has been the biggest name floated as a possible trade candidate in the coming weeks and it’s going to take a considerable haul to meet Chicago’s asking price. The 25-year-old southpaw has managed to stay healthy and finally put everything together in a stellar first-half breakthrough, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that the White Sox are going to limit his workload leading up to the trade deadline in a few weeks.

    • Daulton Jefferies lands on IL with elbow inflammation
      Pirates placed RHP Daulton Jefferies on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.

      Advice: It’s never what you want to hear for a pitcher coming off a recent Tommy John surgery. There should be some clarity on his status once he undergoes further testing and evaluation. The 28-year-old righty has made six appearnaces (one start) in the big leagues this season between the Pirates and Giants. Rotoworld Today, 10:43 am
       
    • Recalled by Pittsburgh
      The Pirates recalled Ryan from Triple-A Indianapolis on Saturday.

      Advice: The move is in response to Daulton Jefferies landing on the injured list with right elbow inflammation. Ryan was sent down to Indianapolis on June 13, and in his seven outings since then he's posted a 4.70 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across 7.2 innings. Ryan will fill the gap in the Pirates' bullpen left by Jeffries. Rotowire.com Today, 10:42 am

    • Handed loss Friday
      Schreiber (3-3) allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out one over one-third of an inning, taking the loss Friday versus the Rockies.

      Advice: Schreiber loaded the bases in the eighth inning and gave up a two-run double to Brenton Doyle to give the Rockies a 4-2 lead. The Royals couldn't bounce back, leaving Schreiber with his second loss in six appearances. The right-hander has given up 11 runs (nine earned) over his last 6.1 innings spanning nine outings. For the season, he's at a 4.46 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB with a save and 19 holds through 34.1 innings. While he remains in a high-leverage role, his performance has been too volatile to trust in recent weeks. Rotowire.com Today, 10:29 am
