    • Alex Faedo starting Saturday against Reds
      Alex Faedo will start on Saturday against the Reds.

      Advice: It’ll be a bullpen game for the Tigers on Saturday afternoon against the Reds with Faedo taking the ball for at least a couple frames at the outset. The 28-year-old former top pitching prospect has excelled this season as a full-time reliever, compiling a solid 3.35 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 33/15 K/BB ratio across 37 2/3 innings (23 appearances).

    • Starting bullpen game
      Faedo will start Saturday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: Faedo will throw the first pitch for Detroit, as the Tigers will rely on their bullpen to get them through Saturday's game in order to give their starters an extra day of rest. The 28-year-old righty served as a starter for two seasons before moving to the bullpen full-time in 2024, so he may be able to get through two or three innings before getting pulled.

    • Giants activate Kyle Harrison for Saturday start
      Giants activated LHP Kyle Harrison from the 15-day injured list.

      Advice: Harrison draws the starting assignment for Saturday’s showdown against the Guardians following a nearly three-week absence due to a sprained right ankle. The 22-year-old southpaw has struggled to miss bats this season at the highest level, but still holds a respectable 3.96 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 68/22 K/BB ratio across 77 1/3 innings (14 starts).

    • Activated off IL, starting Saturday
      Harrison (ankle) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start Saturday against the Guardians, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

      Advice: Harrison landed on the injured list June 16 with a right ankle sprain. He was able to forego a rehab assignment, and he isn't expected to face any restrictions in his return to the Giants' rotation Saturday. Through 14 starts this season, Harrison is 4-3 with a 3.96 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 68:22 K:BB over 77.1 innings. To make room for the 22-year-old southpaw, right-hander Spencer Bivens was optioned to Triple-A Sacramento. Rotowire.com Today, 10:12 am
       
    • Recalled ahead of start
      The Mariners recalled Hancock from Triple-A Tacoma to start Saturday's game against Toronto.

      Advice: Hancock last pitched for the Mariners on June 13, and he has since thrown 9.1 scoreless innings over two starts in Triple-A. He'll be called upon to get the M's through Saturday's contest, though his time in Seattle's rotation will likely only last one start with Bryan Woo (hamstring) nearing a return from the IL. Seby Zavala was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 9:59 am
       
    • Mariners recall Emerson Hancock for Saturday start
      Mariners recalled RHP Emerson Hancock from Triple-A Tacoma.

      Advice: Hancock will take the ball on Saturday afternoon against the Blue Jays for his first start in the majors since June 13. The 25-year-old former top pitching prospect holds a serviceable 4.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 24/13 K/BB ratio across 41 1/3 innings (eight starts) this season in the big leagues. It’s difficult to completely trust him for streaming purposes, but he’s worth keeping on fantasy managers’ radar screens if he were to get an extended opportunity with Seattle.

    • Resumes throwing
      Poteet (triceps) has resumed his throwing program but has not yet progressed to throwing off a mound, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Poteet landed on the IL on June 18 due to a right triceps strain. It's an encouraging sign that the 29-year-old righty has gotten back to throwing, though he will likely remain without a clear return timeline until he's able to throw a few bullpen sessions. The return of Gerrit Cole also means there's no guarantee Poteet remains in the majors upon being activated. Rotowire.com Today, 9:07 am

    • Ben Brown (neck) making gradual progress
      Ben Brown (neck) is scheduled to play catch on Saturday.

      Advice: Brown hit the injured list back in mid-June with a neck strain and has been slowly progressing towards a return to Chicago’s starting rotation. There isn’t a definitive timetable yet, but the fact that he’s been throwing for at least a week now without any setbacks is an encouraging sign. Rotoworld Today, 8:31 am

    • Javier Assad (forearm) completes bullpen session
      Javier Assad (forearm) threw a bullpen session on Friday.

      Advice: Assad landed on the injured list last week with a right forearm strain, so it’s an extremely encouraging sign that he came out of Friday’s side session without any issues. The 26-year-old righty might be able to jump right back into Chicago’s starting rotation mix without requiring a minor league rehab assignment. Rotoworld Today, 8:29 am
