    • Goes yard Friday
      Velazquez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 11-8 loss to the Padres.

      Advice: That's now five homers over Velazquez's last nine games. He was nearly the hero in the Royals' ninth-inning rally, which started with his solo shot and ended on a deep flyout to left-center field. The outfielder is slashing .220/.283/.415 with eight homers, 21 RBI, 25 runs scored and a stolen base over 49 contests, though he slugged .475 in May with a welcome return of the impactful power he showed in the second half of 2023.

    • Called up Saturday
      Little was called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

      Advice: Little will return to the majors after being sent down to Buffalo on May 5. With Jordan Romano (elbow) being placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday, Little will get another shot in Toronto's bullpen. The left-hander has appeared in three games with the Blue Jays this season, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four batters over 3.1 innings.

    • Yankees recall Cody Poteet for Saturday start
      Yankees recalled RHP Cody Poteet from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

      Advice: Poteet draws the starting assignment for Saturday’s showdown against the Giants at Oracle Park. The 29-year-old righty allowed one run over six innings against the Guardians back in mid-April when he made his Yankees debut. He figures to make a couple starts over the next few weeks until Gerrit Cole (elbow) is ready to make his season debut. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago
       
    • Recalled to start Saturday
      The Padres recalled Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso to start Saturday's game against the Royals.

      Advice: Vasquez was optioned to Triple-A in May after posting a 5.82 ERA and 1.75 WHIP across 21.2 innings through his first five starts. His numbers get even worse in the minors (7.45 ERA, 1.88 WHIP) but he will be called upon for another start with the Padres nonetheless. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
       
    • Blown save Friday
      McArthur took a blown save in Friday's 11-8 loss to the Padres, allowing four runs on four hits without retiring a batter.

      Advice: McArthur inherited a brutal situation from John Schreiber, who left the bases loaded with no outs in the eighth inning. McArthur let all three inherited runners score after allowing four straight singles, and Will Klein was unable to slow the Padres' rally. While he's still a high-leverage option, McArthur was awful in May with a 9.00 ERA and 1.90 WHIP over 10 innings while going 4-for-7 in save conversations. He's at a 5.32 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 23:3 K:BB through 23.2 innings, but he's giving up too many hits to find long-term success, though the Royals lack relievers who have pitched well over the last month.

    • Yankees option Cody Morris to Triple-A
      Yankees optioned RHP Cody Morris to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

      Advice: Morris was up with New York for a handful of games as extra relief depth in the wake of Clarke Schmidt (lat) hitting the injured list. He’s been shipped back to the minors to make room for Cody Poteet to come up and take the ball on Saturday against the Giants in San Francisco. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago
       
    • Placed on 15-day IL
      Romano was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday, retroactive to May 30, with right elbow inflammation, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

      Advice: Romano was unavailable for Friday's 5-3 victory over the Pirates due to right elbow soreness and he'll now be forced to miss a couple weeks of action while nursing the injury. The 31-year-old produced a 9.00 ERA and 1.88 WHIP over eight innings, while suffering a blown save and being tagged with a pair of losses in nine appearances with Toronto in May, so the time off could serve as a reset button for him. In the meantime, left-hander Brendon Little was called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday to replace him on the major-league roster. In Romano's absence, Yimi Garcia and Chad Green are a pair of candidates to absorb the ninth-inning role. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
       
    • Mets release veteran first baseman Jiman Choi
      Mets released 1B Jiman Choi.

      Advice: Choi had a June 1 opt-out in his minor league contract with New York and wasn’t going to be summoned to the majors. The 33-year-old posted a .674 OPS with four homers in 26 games this season for Triple-A Syracuse. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago

    • Handed loss Friday
      Schreiber (3-1) allowed three runs on three hits over one-third of an inning, taking the loss Friday versus the Padres.

      Advice: Schreiber got the final out of the seventh inning but put three straight batters on base to begin the eighth. James McArthur relieved him and couldn't stop the Padres' rally in what ended up being a nine-run frame. After looking like one of the Royals' most dominant relievers in April, Schreiber posted a much worse 6.52 ERA and 2.17 WHIP over 9.2 innings in May. He's at a decent 3.00 ERA on the year, but his 1.33 WHIP and 17:7 K:BB over 24 innings are concerning, as he's giving up too many hits and striking out too few batters. Schreiber has a save and 14 holds on the year while operating in a setup role. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
