  • Sent back to minors
    The Brewers optioned Junk to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Advice: Junk was roughed up for five runs on 13 hits and one walk over five relief innings in his three relief appearances with the Brewers. He had been mostly starting at Nashville prior to the promotion and could re-enter their rotation. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Called up by Milwaukee
    The Brewers selected the contract of Herget from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Advice: Herget joined Milwaukee on a minor-league contract March 1. He had not given up a run in nine of his 10 outings with Triple-A Nashville, with his one blemish coming April 30 when he allowed five runs on five hits and a walk over 1.1 innings. Herget will provide the Brewers bullpen depth after right-hander Janson Junk was optioned to Triple-A Nashville. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Available in relief
    Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Monday that Brown will be available out of the bullpen for the series against the Padres, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: It's possible Brown will get another start eventually, but for now he will shift to the bullpen upon the return of Justin Steele (hamstring). That means Hayden Wesneski should retain his spot in the Cubs' rotation for the time being. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Cubs optioned Thompson to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Thompson has pitched well overall out of the Cubs' bullpen this season, but he was roughed up in his last two appearances in yielding seven runs (four earned) while recording just three outs. He's being sent out to make room for the return of Justin Steele (hamstring). Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Activated ahead of Monday's start
    Steele (hamstring) was activated from the 15-day injured list by the Cubs on Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Steele will rejoin the Cubs' rotation Monday versus the Padres after being sidelined since late March with a strained left hamstring. The left-hander threw just 63 pitches in his lone rehab outing, so he will have his workload curtailed Monday to some degree. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Cleared to begin rehab assignment
    Hays (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Bowie on Tuesday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Hays has been working out with Bowie as he comes back from a left calf strain and is now ready to test things out in game action. With Colton Cowser's production slowing the last couple weeks, Hays could have a chance to regain more reps in left field once he's deemed ready, although they might come just against lefties initially.

  • Recalled by Oakland
    The Athletics recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

    Advice: The move corresponds with Oakland placing right-hander Joe Boyle (back) on the 15-day IL. Harris has a 1-1 record over six starts in Triple-A this season with a 9.00 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 21:20 K:BB over 21 innings with Las Vegas. He appeared in 14 games with the Athletics last season, finishing with a 3-6 record while posting a 7.14 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over 63 frames. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Moved to IL
    The Athletics placed Boyle on the 15-day IL on Monday due to a lower back strain.

    Advice: Boyle struggled in his start Sunday against the Marlins, allowing four runs on one hit and three walks over one frame. The right-hander noted after the game that he tried to pitch through the lower back pain, but it "got progressively worse as I went on," per MLB.com. Boyle will be eligible to return for the start of the A's series against the Rockies on May 21. In a corresponding move, Oakland recalled left-hander Hogan Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas.

  • Keegan Thompson optioned to Triple-A by Cubs
    Cubs optioned RHP Keegan Thompson to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: It’s Thompson and not Ben Brown who gets booted from the roster with Justin Steele (hamstring) coming off the injured list, and Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribute notes Brown will work out of the bullpen. Thompson will head back to Triple-A and likely be up-and-down throughout the 2024 campaign. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
