  • Back in majors
    The Diamondbacks recalled Jacques from Triple-A Reno on Thursday.

    Advice: Since being claimed off waivers from Boston in April, Jacuqes has recorded a 4.58 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through 17.2 innings with Reno. He'll now join the big-league roster to add some depth to Arizona's bullpen, and Cristian Mena will head back to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:09 pm
     
  • Drawing start Friday
    Hoeing (hamstring) will be activated from the 15-day injured list and start Friday versus the White Sox, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Hoeing has been used as a starter plenty in the past but has been deployed exclusively in relief in 2024 aside from a one-inning "start" on his rehab assignment. The 27-year-old threw 49 pitches over 2.2 frames in his most recent rehab appearance, so the Marlins' bullpen will be needed Friday. It's not clear whether this is a one-off for Hoeing or he could make additional starts. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:04 pm

  • Greg Weissert picks up save against Marlins
    Greg Weissert allowed an unearned run while picking up a save against the Marlins on Thursday.

    Advice: The run was the “zombie” runner that starts at second base to begin every inning after the ninth. That’s the first save of the season for Weissert, and being blunt, it’s very likely the last. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:49 pm
     
  • Kyle Tyler gives up two runs in no-decision vs. BOS
    Kyle Tyler gave up two runs in 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Red Sox on Thursday.

    Advice: Tyler gave up just three hits throughout the contest, and he walked two while fanning three. The right-hander gave up a run on a fielder’s choice in the first by Rafael Devers, and Devers grounded out again for a run in the sixth; this time after Tyler had left the game. The results have been fine for the 27-year-old since joining the Miami rotation, but there appears to be some smoke and mirrors to it without much swing-and-miss. It’d be a mistake to trust him as an option against the Astros next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:49 pm
     
  • Pivetta takes no hitter into seventh vs. Marlins
    Nick Pivetta struck out 10 while allowing just one hit over seven scoreless innings, but he didn’t pick up a decision against the Marlins on Thursday.

    Advice: Pivetta took a no-no into the seventh inning, but he gave up his first hit with two outs in that frame on a triple to Jesus Sanchez. It was a dominating effort for the 31-year-old, and nice to see after a run of mediocre starts for the right-hander. It certainly helped that he was facing a well-below-average lineup in Miami, but Pivetta’s stuff would’ve beaten most Thursday. Unfortunately, the bullpen didn’t get the job done. Pivetta gets another favorable matchup on paper next week against the A’s. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:49 pm
     
  • Twins re-sign Diego Castillo to minor league pact
    Twins re-signed RHP Diego Castillo to a minor league contract.

    Advice: It seems there weren’t too many other opportunities out there for Castillo after electing free agency back in mid-June. The 30-year-old righty is back in the fold with Minnesota as extra organizational relief depth after making five appearances for the Twins earlier this year. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:44 pm
     
  • Picks up third win
    King (3-1) got the win in Thursday's 3-2 victory over the Pirates. He pitched two innings and gave up one unearned run on two hits.

    Advice: After pitching a clean ninth, the 29-year-old gave up a pair of two-out singles in the 10th, but manager Oliver Marmol showed trust by letting King finish off the game. The lefty reliever got off to a strong start this season with a 1.33 ERA over his first 20.1 innings, but has struggled as of late with a 5.25 ERA in his last 12 innings. His sharp command remains his calling card, as he's only walked four batters all season and will carry a 2.78 ERA and 1.14 WHIP into his next outing. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:37 pm
     
  • Yimi García starting rehab assignment on Saturday
    Yimi García (elbow) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Saturday with Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: García got through a bullpen session on Wednesday without any issues and will get in a handful of rehab outings before turning to Toronto’s closing mix. The 33-year-old, who has been out since mid-June with an elbow injury, figures to split the closing duties with fellow veteran Chad Green once he’s back, but it wouldn’t be shocking to see him completely take over the role.
