  • Marlins recall Roddery Muñoz for Saturday start
    Marlins recalled RHP Roddery Muñoz from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Muñoz gets the call back to the majors in place of an injured Ryan Weathers (finger) and will take the ball for Saturday’s contest against the Guardians. The 24-year-old righty holds an underwhelming 5.17 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 19/7 K/BB ratio across 15 2/3 innings (three starts) this season in the majors and isn’t a recommended option for fantasy managers at the moment.

  • Ryan Weathers lands on IL with finger sprain
    Marlins placed LHP Ryan Weathers on the 15-day injured list with a left index finger sprain.

    Advice: Weathers winds up hitting the injured list after being lifted from Friday’s start against the Guardians with left index finger soreness. The 24-year-old southpaw, who has compiled a solid 3.55 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 67/20 K/BB ratio across 71 innings (13 starts) this season, is going to wind up missing at least a few weeks, even in a best-case scenario. There should be an official timeline from the club at some point in the near future. Rotoworld Today, 12:22 pm
     
  • Joining taxi squad
    Amador joined the Rockies in St. Louis on Saturday, though the team is still deciding on whether or not to add him to their active roster, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Amador only sports a .666 OPS through 208 plate appearances this season with Hartford, but he has slashed .326/.388/.767 with six homers and 14 RBI while also stealing six bases across his last 10 games. With the Rockies waiting to see if Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) will require a trip to the IL, Amador will remain on the club's taxi squad for the time being. He would likely return to Double-A if Rodgers is able to make a quick recovery. Rotowire.com Today, 12:04 pm

  • Garrett Mitchell starting rehab assignment Tuesday
    Garrett Mitchell (finger) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday.

    Advice: Mitchell has been on the shelf since spring training recovering from a fractured left finger. The 25-year-old has some contact issues to address, but has some power/speed impact potential, which is enough to keep him on fantasy radar screens, if he can stay healthy.

  • Report: Rockies calling up prospect Adael Amador
    Independent journalist Francys Romero reports the Rockies are calling up top prospect Adael Amador.

    Advice: Amador has been sizzling-hot of late for Double-A Harford, batting .359 with six homers over his last nine games, on the heels of a frosty start to the year. The 21-year-old prodigy possesses excellent bat-to-ball skills, which should lead to high batting averages in Colorado, and is starting to show some additional over-the-fence pop. It’s unclear how long he’ll remain in the majors, but he figures to be worthy of a speculative pickup in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld Today, 11:50 am

  • Steven Matz to make rehab start Tuesday at Double-A
    Steven Matz (back) will make another minor league rehab start on Tuesday for Double-A Springfield.

    Advice: Matz struck out two over a pair of scoreless frames on Thursday in his rehab assignment debut for Triple-A Memphis and will continue building up his pitch count and stamina this upcoming week in the minors. The 33-year-old lefty has been out since mid-May recovering from a back injury. Rotoworld Today, 11:15 am
     
  • Drives in three in wild loss
    Haniger went 1-for-4 with a three-run double, a walk and a run in a loss to the Royals on Friday.

    Advice: Haniger's bases-clearing two-bagger was an integral part of a first-inning onslaught by the Mariners that had netted a 7-0 lead by the time it concluded. The timely knock was a rare one for the mostly struggling veteran, who'd driven in just one run in the previous 14 games. Haniger has hit safely in nine of his last 10 contests overall, but just two of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. Rotowire.com Today, 8:11 am
     
  • Battling finger soreness
    Weathers was removed from Friday's game against the Guardians due to left index finger soreness, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Advice: Weathers was only able to get through 2.1 innings before being pulled, during which he allowed two earned runs on four hits while striking out three batters and walking none. The Marlins haven't provided any information regarding the severity of his injury, but they'll likely keep an eye on his finger as he approaches his next scheduled start -- tentatively scheduled for Thursday against the Mets.

  • Weathers leaves due to left index finger injury
    Ryan Weathers left Friday’s start against the Guardians with left index finger soreness.

    Advice: Weathers threw 2 1/3 innings while allowing two runs before exiting in the third inning. The left-hander will likely undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury, but for now should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:44 pm
