  • Angels designate Jimmy Herget for assignment
    Angels designated RHP Jimmy Herget for assignment.

    Advice: Herget is off the 40-man roster to make room for Zac Kristofak. If Herget goes unclaimed, the right-hander will have the option to declare for free agency, or he can report back to Triple-A Salt Lake. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago
     
  • Angels place RHP Cisnero on IL with shoulder issue
    Angels placed RHP José Cisnero on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

  • Shut down with injury at Triple-A
    Triple-A Albuquerque placed Justice on its 7-day injured list April 17 with an unspecified injury.

    Advice: Before being deactivated, Justice made seven relief appearances for Albuquerque, giving up seven earned runs on six hits and eight walks over five innings. The 25-year-old lefty retains a spot on the Rockies' 40-man roster, but he'll stay on the minor-league IL for now. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Shut down at Triple-A
    Triple-A Albuquerque placed Hollowell on its 7-day injured list April 13 with an unspecified injury.

    Advice: Hollowell made four relief appearances for Albuquerque and gave up seven earned runs over 2.1 innings before being shut down with the injury. The 26-year-old reliever retains a spot on the Rockies' 40-man roster, but he'll stay on the minor-league IL for now. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Activated for season debut
    The Phillies reinstated Walker (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start against the Padres on Sunday.

    Advice: The veteran right-hander will make his season debut Sunday in San Diego after he missed the first month of the season with a shoulder issue. Walker threw 102 pitches over 6.1 innings during his final rehab appearance, so he likely won't face any significant limitations in his first MLB outing of 2024. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Taijuan Walker activated off IL for start Sunday
    Phillies activated RHP Taijuan Walker off the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Walker will make his season debut Sunday with a start against the Padres. The right-hander missed the start of the season while recovering from soreness in his right shoulder. There may be some rust to shake off for Walker in his debut, and his lack of swing-and-miss makes him a risky fantasy option even if there wasn’t. Rotoworld 34 minutes ago
     
  • Phillies designate Ricardo Pinto for assignment
    Phillies designated RHP Ricardo Pinto for assignment.

    Advice: Pinto was removed from the active and 40-man roster with the Phillies needing the room for Taijuan Walker, who is coming off the injured list to start Sunday against the Padres. Pinto was ineffective to say the least in his appearances with Philadelphia with a 10.97 ERA and 8/5 K/BB ratio over six appearances. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
     
  • Earns win Saturday
    Faedo (2-1) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Saturday against the Royals.

    Advice: After starter Casey Mize allowed three runs (two earned) over five innings, Faedo worked the sixth and seventh, and he continued to pitch well. The righty has a strong 2.55 ERA across 17.2 innings this season, and he's emerged as a capable long reliever for the Tigers. The role limits Faedo's upside, though he may be able to earn a few more wins here and there. Rotowire.com Today, 10:20 am
     
  • Struggles in relief Saturday
    Little allowed five runs on three hits and a walk while retiring just two batters in Saturday's 17-0 loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Chicago starter Ben Brown allowed three runs over just 3.2 innings, then gave way to Little, who struggled mightily. The lefty's era went from 2.16 to 7.00 in the process, and it may take Little some time to get that figure back into a more acceptable range. He's not a great fantasy target at the moment due to his middle-relief role. Rotowire.com Today, 10:16 am
