  • Moves to paternity list
    The Rockies placed Lawrence on the paternity list Friday.

    Advice: Lawrence will step away from the team for a few days to be with his growing family. Angel Chivilli was called up in a corresponding move, while Jake Bird and Nick Mears are likely the favorites to serve as fill-in closer if any save chances arise this weekend.

  • Lands on 15-day IL
    Marte was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to May 1, with right shoulder inflammation.

    Advice: Marte has seen his velocity drop from 97.8 MPH to 95.7 MPH this season and had surrendered five runs (three earned) during his last three appearances with Philadelphia, both potentially a result of the shoulder injury. However, Marte will have a couple of weeks to rest while Jose Ruiz fills in for him after being called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Called up by Colorado
    The Rockies recalled Chivilli from Double-A Hartford on Friday.

    Advice: The 21-year-old will skip the Triple-A level and joined Colorado for his first taste of the big leagues. Closer Justin Lawrence was placed on the paternity list in a corresponding move, and it could be a short stay in the majors for Chivilli. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Lands on IL with lower-back strain
    The Cardinals placed Matz on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to May 1, with a lower-back strain.

    Advice: Matz attempted to pitch through back soreness in his last start Tuesday in Detroit, but it didn't go well and an MRI has revealed a strain. It's not clear at this point how long he might be on the shelf. The Cards haven't revealed who will take Matz's spot in the rotation, but his next turn would be Tuesday and Sem Robberse would be on regular rest that day. Rotowire.com Today, 10:13 am

  • Cardinals place Steven Matz (back) on 15-day IL
    Cardinals placed LHP Steven Matz on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 1, with a lower back strain.

    Advice: The 32-year-old will be sidelined for at least the next two weeks as he heals from a lower back injury. Matz pitched earlier this week and tried to push through the pain, but it appears it’s too much for him to continue without proper treatment and recovery. Rotoworld Today, 10:10 am

  • Summoned to big leagues
    The Brewers recalled Martin from Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    Advice: Martin was claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks last month. The 28-year-old missed the 2023 season following lat surgery and had spent all of 2024 at the Triple-A level, holding a 6.14 ERA and 8:7 K:BB over 7.1 frames. Martin has mostly been a starter in the past but has made a full-time move to relief this season. Rotowire.com Today, 9:19 am
     
  • Brewers recall Corbin Martin
    Brewers recalled RHP Corbin Martin from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Martin was claimed off waivers from the Diamondbacks in mid-April. The 28-year-old hasn’t pitched in the majors since 2022 and has a career 6.71 ERA, 1.89 WHIP with a 53/38 K/BB ratio across 57 2/3 innings of work. Rotoworld Today, 9:04 am
     
  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Twins recalled Alcala from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Advice: He's taking the roster and bullpen spot vacated by Caleb Boushley, who was sent back to St. Paul on Thursday. Alcala never deserved to be optioned in the first place, as he has given up just one unearned run on three hits through six appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 8:37 am
     
  • Cleared to resume throwing
    Smyly (hip) has been cleared to begin playing catch, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Smyly hasn't pitched in nearly two weeks because of a right hip impingement but is ready to begin ramping things back up. The left-hander seems likely to require a rehab assignment before rejoining the Cubs' bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 8:34 am
