  • Shut down with lat injury
    The Dodgers placed Grove on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right lat injury, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Advice: Grove presumably sustained the injury during his two-inning relief appearance in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Royals. He gave up a run in the outing for a third consecutive appearance and now holds a 5.06 ERA over 37.1 innings on the season. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago

  • Matz (back) strikes out five in rehab start
    Steven Metz (back) threw three scoreless innings and struck out five in a rehab start for Double-A Springfield.

    Advice: That’s his third rehab start as he works his way back from the back injury. He didn’t allow a baserunner and showed off his swing-and-miss stuff; albeit against Double-A hitters. Matz could make one more rehab start, but he looks ready to rejoin the St. Louis rotation as well. Rotoworld 5 minutes ago

  • Michael Grove (lat) heading to injured list
    Dodgers placed RHP Michael Grove on the 15-day injured list with a right intercostal strain.

    Advice: Grove joins Yoshinobu Yamamoto (triceps) on the injured list prior to Sunday’s finale against the Royals. Grove will be out at least two weeks, but a more firm timetable should be provided in the coming days. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago

  • IL bound with arm injury
    The Dodgers placed Yamamoto (triceps) on the 15-day injured list Sunday.

    Advice: Yamamoto struck out a batter over two scoreless innings before he was lifted from his start in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Royals after he had experienced tightness in his right tricep while warming up prior to the game. Roberts hinted after the game that Yamamoto was likely to land on the IL, and the Dodgers have made the move official prior to Sunday's series finale. According to David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports, Roberts suggested that Yamamoto will be sent in for further testing Sunday before an official diagnosis for the injury and a timeline for his return is provided.

  • Gerrit Cole could start Wednesday against Orioles
    Gerrit Cole (elbow) could make his season debut Wednesday against the Orioles.

    Advice: The Yankees announced their rotation for the series against Baltimore. Kind of. Tuesday’s starter will be Nestor Cortes, and Thursday will be Luis Gil. Wednesday has a TBD by it, and it seems possible — if not probable — that it’ll be Cole returning to the rotation. The 2023 Cy Young winner has looked the part in his rehab starts, and while there could be some precautions taken, there’s every reason to believe he’ll be just as fantasy relevant over these three-plus months of 2024.

  • Recalled from Triple-A
    Winn was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Winn will return to provide depth to a bullpen that was needed for six innings behind Nathan Eovaldi on Saturday. Jesus Tinoco was designated for assignment to make room for Winn, who has posted a 6.91 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB in 11 appearances (14.1 innings) for the Rangers so far this season.

  • Opening Sunday's contest
    Miller will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Angels, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Miller will draw the opener assignment for the fifth time this season after the Giants had previously listed Kyle Harrison as the starter for Sunday's contest before placing him on the 15-day injured list with an ankle sprain just a few hours before the 4:05 p.m. ET opening pitcher. The left-hander hasn't been tasked with recording more than five outs in any of his previous turns as an opener, so he shouldn't be expected to handle more than two innings before he turns the game over to the bullpen. Spencer Bivens was called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday and could be an option to cover multiple innings behind Miller. Rotowire.com Today, 10:09 am

  • Rangers recall Cole Winn from Triple-A on Sunday
    Rangers recalled RHP Cole Winn from Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: Winn is up to help provide some innings for the Rangers staff. The 24-year-old gets the promotion, and Jesus Tinoco was designated for assignment to make room for Winn on the active roster. Rotoworld Today, 10:08 am
     
  • Shelved with ankle sprain
    The Giants placed Harrison on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right ankle sprain.

    Advice: Harrison had been scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Angels, but his ankle injury will prompt the Giants to go with an impromptu bullpen day for the series finale, with left-hander Erik Miller serving as the team's opening pitcher. The severity of Harrison's ankle sprain isn't clear, but he'll be eligible to return from the IL as soon as June 28. After getting off to a rough start to the season through his first five outings, Harrison had rebounded with a 2-2 record, 3.40 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB in 50.1 innings across his subsequent nine starts.
