  • Struggles in London
    Manaea (3-3) took the loss Saturday against the Phillies in London, allowing six runs on seven hits and a walk over 3.2 innings. He struck out three.

    Advice: Manaea got off to a good start Saturday, holding the Phillies to just one hit through his first three scoreless innings. However, Bryce Harper launched a home run with one out in the fourth before Philadelphia rallied for five runs with two outs in the frame, forcing Manaea from the game. The left-hander's now allowed 11 earned runs over 9.1 innings in his last two starts after pitching to a 2.70 ERA over his previous seven outings. Overall, Manaea sports a 4.30 ERA with a 1.35 WHIP and 60:25 K:BB across 60.2 innings this year. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, currently scheduled for next week at home versus the Padres. Rotowire.com Today, 2:06 pm

  • Back in majors
    The Diamondbacks recalled McGough from Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

    Advice: The Diamondbacks sent McGough to Reno in early May, and he has since recorded a 2.92 ERA and 1.57 WHIP across 12.1 innings for the Aces. He'll now return to Arizona to give the Snakes another fresh bullpen arm, replacing Humberto Castellanos. Rotowire.com Today, 1:57 pm
     
  • Diamondbacks recall Scott McGough from Triple-A
    Diamondbacks recalled RHP Scott McGough from Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: He’ll take the place of Humberto Castellanos in the Diamondbacks’ bullpen. McGough has already made 15 appearances out of the Diamondbacks’ bullpen this season, registering an unappealing 6.75 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and a 10/10 K/BB ratio over his 16 innings of work.

  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Diamondbacks optioned Castellanos to Triple-A Reno on Saturday.

    Advice: Castellanos was selected to the active roster Thursday, and he will now head back to the minors after giving up five earned runs in 2.1 innings during Friday's loss. He'll remain on the 40-man roster as he heads back to Triple-A, but the D-backs will likely be hesitant to call him back up to the majors based on his poor performance. Scott McGough will come up from Reno to fill the open bullpen spot. Rotowire.com Today, 1:53 pm
     
  • Diamondbacks option Humberto Castellanos to AAA
    Diamondbacks optioned RHP Humberto Castellanos to Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: The 26-year-old right-hander was obliterated in his lone appearance with the Diamondbacks, giving up five runs on five hits over his 2 1/3 innings of work. Scott McGough was recalled from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move on Saturday to take his place in the Diamondbacks’ bullpen. Rotoworld Today, 1:50 pm
     
  • Making next start in Double-A
    Matz (back) will start on Tuesday for Double-A Springfield, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Matz was able to get through two shutout innings on 24 pitches during his first rehab start at Triple-A on Thursday. Manager Oli Marmol said Saturday that the 33-year-old southpaw will build up to 40 pitches in his upcoming start, and the team will aim to get him up to about 75-80 pitches before returning him to its big-league rotation, making it likely he'll require at least one more rehab start after Tuesday.

  • Orion Kerkering whiffs three in relief vs. Mets
    Orion Kerkering struck out three over 1 1/3 innings on Saturday against the Mets.

    Advice: Kerkering came on to strike out Francisco Lindor to end the sixth inning, stranding a pair of inherited runners in the process, before coming back out to work a flawless seventh inning as well. The 23-year-old righty opened the season on the injured list, but has been phenomenal since returning, posting a sublime 1.19 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 24/4 K/BB ratio across 22 2/3 innings (21 appearances).

  • Sean Manaea takes loss in London Series opener
    Sean Manaea was blasted for six runs over 3 2/3 innings on Saturday in a loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Manaea drew the starting assignment for Saturday’s London Series opener against the division-rival Phillies and was unable to complete four frames. The wheels came off completely in the fourth inning when he gave up homers to Bryce Harper and Whit Merrifield in a disastrous six-run frame. He’ll bring a 4.30 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 60/25 K/BB ratio across 60 2/3 innings (12 starts) into a home outing on Friday against the Padres. Rotoworld Today, 1:03 pm

  • Jordan Romano to resume throwing on Monday
    Jordan Romano (elbow) is scheduled to resume throwing on Monday.

    Advice: Blue Jays manager John Schneider added that Romano received an anti-inflammatory injection in his right elbow last weekend. It’s going to take a couple weeks for the 31-year-old closer to build up his arm strength before returning to Toronto’s bullpen, but it’s an encouraging sign that he’s been cleared to resume throwing again.
