  • Could start rehab stint this week
    Matz (back) will throw a full-intensity bullpen Monday and could get sent on a minor-league rehab assignment if the bullpen session goes well, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Monday's bullpen session will be Matz's third since he hit the IL with a back injury. The southpaw has missed a full month of action and would likely need a couple of rehab starts before returning to the Cardinals' active roster. In the meantime, Andre Pallante is set to fill Matz's spot in the rotation. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago

  • Idle versus southpaw
    Fraley isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: With lefty starter Justin Steele set to toe the slab for Chicago, the lefty-hitting Fraley will step out of the lineup Saturday. His absence will move Tyler Stephenson into the DH role while Luke Maile starts behind the plate, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:52 pm
     
  • Called up Saturday
    Snider was called up from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday.

    Advice: Snider will return to the major-league bullpen for the first time since April 8, replacing Gabe Speier (shoulder) on the 26-man roster after Speier was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday. Snider has appeared in three games with Seattle in 2024, surrendering two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out two over three innings. Rotowire.com Today, 1:51 pm
     
  • Sitting versus lefty
    Benson isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Benson will retreat to the dugout as the lefty-throwing Justin Steele prepares to toe the slab Saturday. Stuart Fairchild will fill the void in right field and bat in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Today, 1:49 pm
     
  • Vaughn Grissom leaves game with apparent injury
    Vaughn Grissom was removed from Saturday’s battle against the Tigers in the third inning with an apparent injury.

    Advice: It looked like the 23-year-old infielder may have tweaked something while running out a ground ball in the second inning. He was then replaced defensively at second base by Connor Wong when the Red Sox took the field to begin the third inning. Expect the team to provide an update on his status shortly.

  • Placed on 15-day IL
    Speier was placed on the 15-day injured list with a left rotator cuff strain Saturday, retroactive to May 30, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Speier last appeared in a game May 29, allowing one hit while striking out a batter over two-thirds of an inning against the Astros. He'll now be forced to miss at least two weeks, but considering it's his throwing shoulder, Speier may be forced to miss extended time. In a corresponding move, the Mariners called up right-hander Collin Snider from Triple-A Tacoma on Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:42 pm

  • Mariners place Gabe Speier (shoulder) on 15-day IL
    Mariners placed LHP Gabe Speier on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 30, with a left rotator cuff strain.

    Advice: It’s not immediately clear how long the Mariners think the 29-year-old southpaw will be shelved for. Speier has struggled mightily in 22 appearances out of the M’s bullpen this season, posting a 6.06 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and a 22/10 K/BB ratio across 16 1/3 innings of work. Collin Snider was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move on Saturday. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm

    Mariners recalled RHP Collin Snider from Triple-A Tacoma.

    Advice: The 28-year-old right-hander will get a chance to work out of the M’s bullpen with Gabe Speier (shoulder) landing on the injured list. Snider has made three appearances at the big league level this season, registering a 6.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and a 2/1 K/BB ratio across his three frames. Expect him to be utilized in a middle relief role. Rotoworld Today, 1:38 pm
