  • Angel Perdomo (elbow) moves to 60-day IL
    Angels transferred LHP Angel Perdomo from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: It’s a procedural move that clears spot on the 40-man roster for Jackson Stephens. Perdomo will miss the majority — possibly all — of the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last October. Rotoworld 4 minutes ago
     
  • Tallies three hits in team debut
    Calhoun went 3-for-4 with a double and a run Friday in a 6-0 win against the Guardians.

    Advice: Calhoun started at DH and batted cleanup in his first action with Los Angeles after being called up from Triple-A on Wednesday. The veteran was productive in his first game with the big club, and he scored the team's second run following a fourth-inning double. With Miguel Sano (knee) and Anthony Rendon (hamstring) among a bevy of Angels on the injured list, Calhoun could see semi-regular starts at designated hitter, though manager Ron Washington has shifted various players into the DH role throughout the campaign.

  • Braves select contract of Jackson Stephens
    Braves selected the contract of RHP Jackson Stephens.

    Advice: Stephens will be a bullpen option for Atlanta, and he replaces Pierce Johnson after Johnson was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday. Stephen has made 80 appearances at the highest level, and he isn’t likely to pitch in high-leverage situations in this stint. Rotoworld 7 minutes ago
     
  • Alek Manoah (shoulder) starting Sunday vs. Nats
    Alek Manoah (shoulder) will start Sunday’s game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Manoah will make his season debut after missing the first quarter of the season with his shoulder injury. His rehab starts were up-and-down — to put it mildly — but he struck out 12 over six innings Tuesday in his rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo. The right-hander isn’t that long removed from being one of the best starters in baseball, but his lack of success makes him a very risky fantasy option, even against a bad lineup like the Nationals.

  • Available off bench Saturday
    Young (back) is not starting in Saturday's game against the Blue Jays but is available to pinch hit or run, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Young was removed in the fifth inning of Friday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays due to back spasms, and he was replaced by Jesse Winker. Alex Call will start in center field Saturday and hit eighth against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago

  • Young (back) out Saturday vs. Blue Jays
    Jacob Young (back) is out of the lineup Saturday against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Young left Friday’s game with back spasms, and he won’t start Saturday’s affair. Nationals manager Dave Martinez did tell reporters that Young is available off the bench as a pinch-hitter or pinch-runner, so he should be back in the lineup in the coming days. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago

  • Josiah Gray (elbow) throws 35-pitch bullpen
    Josiah Gray (elbow) threw a 35-pitch bullpen Saturday.

    Advice: Nationals manager Dave Martinez told reporters that the bullpen session “went well.” Gray is expected to be cleared to face live hitters soon, and if the progress continues, a rehab assignment shouldn’t be far away. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago

  • Nearing rehab assignment
    Kahnle (shoulder) will throw a live batting-practice session Saturday and could begin a rehab assignment thereafter, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Kahnle has been throwing bullpens since mid-April and recently progressed to facing live hitters. The Yankees haven't yet established a firm plan for the veteran reliever, but it appears likely that he'll either have one more live BP after Saturday's session or move onto a minor-league rehab assignment. Kahnle was a key piece of the team's bullpen last season, posting a 2.66 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 48:19 K:BB over 40.2 innings while registering two saves and 14 holds. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
