  • 51-54-5 6th Place
    • Released by Miami
      The Marlins released Smith on Thursday.

      Advice: Smith predictably cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and is now free to sign on with a new organization. The right-hander posted a 4.25 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB over 29.2 innings for the Marlins. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
       
    • Four hits in loss
      Bailey went 4-for-5 in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: Bailey is 14-for-37 (.378) over his last 10 games, and the lone contest in that span in which he failed to log a hit was one where he appeared off the bench. While the catcher is making consistent contact, it hasn't been particularly powerful -- he has just two extra-base hits in that span. Overall, he's at a .299/.367/.439 slash line with five homers, two stolen bases, 23 RBI, 19 runs scored and eight doubles through 50 contests. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
       
    • Cardinals option Adam Kloffenstein Friday
      Cardinals optioned RHP Adam Kloffenstein to Triple-A Memphis.

      Advice: Kloffenstein was the corresponding move for the activation of Giovanny Gallegos from the injured list. The 23-year-old right-hander will return to the minors after tossing a scoreless inning in his first major league appearance on Thursday. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago
       
    • Cardinals activated RHP Giovanny Gallegos from IL
      Cardinals activated RHP Giovanny Gallegos from the 15-day injured list.

      Advice: Gallegos has been out since early May with shoulder trouble. He’s been a steady reliever for St. Louis over the last few seasons and sometimes even an option for saves. Gallegos has recorded at least 10 saves in each of the last three years, though that’s unlikely to continue this season. He has a 12.00 ERA and SO:BB of 13:7 in 13 appearances with the Cardinals this year. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
       
    • Returns to Triple-A
      The Cardinals optioned Scott to Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: The 23-year-old was called up to serve as the 27th man for Thursday's game at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, and he'll head back to Memphis after appearing as a defensive replacement. Scott has a .550 OPS in 45 games at Triple-A since being demoted in late April. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
       
    • Twins recalled LHP Kody Funderburk from Triple-A
      Twins recalled LHP Kody Funderburk from Triple-A St. Paul.

      Advice: Funderburk will take Jay Jackson’s spot in the Twins bullpen after Jackson was designated for assignment. Funderburk has a 5.18 ERA and SO:BB of 23:12 in 19 appearances with Minnesota this year. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago
       
    • Goes back to minors
      The Cardinals optioned Kloffenstein to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

      Advice: Kloffenstein turned in a 1-2-3 inning in his major-league debut Thursday versus the Giants to help out a depleted Cardinals bullpen but will quickly head back to Memphis. The big righty will re-enter Memphis' starting rotation, where he's collected a 3.97 ERA and 1.13 WHIP through 77 innings across 14 starts. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
       
    • Returns from injured list
      The Cardinals activated Gallegos (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

      Advice: St. Louis has a rare Friday off day, but it will have Gallegos back in its bullpen Saturday versus the Giants. The veteran reliever has been out since early May with a right shoulder impingement and didn't pitch well on a rehab assignment, allowing eight runs with a 5:4 K:BB over 6.1 innings. Gallegos will probably be eased into high-leverage situations. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
       
    • Continues power surge Thursday
      Merrill went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a 7-6 win over Milwaukee on Thursday.

      Advice: Merrill hit the second of back-to-back homers with Manny Machado in the first inning to give San Diego an early lead. The long ball was the second in as many days for Merrill, who has surged in the power department of late, with six of his nine homers on the campaign coming over his past eight games. All six of those long balls have been of the solo variety, but it's still a positive development for Merrill's fantasy managers after he went deep just three times over his first 68 games.
