    • DL Hall (knee) throws sim game on Tuesday
      DL Hall (knee) threw a 35-pitch simulated game on Tuesday.

      Advice: Hall figures to be ready to head out on a minor league rehab assignment at some point in the coming days. The 25-year-old lefty has been on the shelf since late April due to a left knee sprain. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago

    • Set to start Wednesday
      The Mets will recall Lucchesi from Triple-A Syracuse to start Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Lucchesi will be making his first big-league appearance of the season after posting a 2.58 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across 38.1 innings in the minors. The 30-year-old southpaw found success with the Mets last season, but he will be tested in his first outing of 2024 by a Phillies lineup that boasts a .755 OPS. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
       
    • Pirates designate Josh Fleming for assignment
      Pirates designated LHP Josh Fleming for assignment.

      Advice: Fleming has been removed from Pittsburgh’s 40-man roster after struggling to an inflated 5.68 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 13/9 K/BB ratio across 19 innings (17 appearances, one start). The soft-tossing 27-year-old lefty figures to pass through waivers unclaimed, but it’s always possible he generates some interest. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago
       
    • Promoted for Tuesday's start
      The Rangers recalled Leiter from Triple-A Round Rock ahead of his start against the Guardians on Tuesday.

      Advice: The right-hander is back with Texas for his third start in the big leagues. Leiter's first two outings haven't gone particularly well, as he's given up 13 runs (11 earned) on 15 hits with a 6:3 K:BB over 7.2 innings. It may only be a spot start for the 24-year-old since Nathan Eovaldi (groin) may soon be back from the injured list. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago

    • Joey Luccesi starting Wednesday vs. Phillies
      MLB.com’s Anthony DiComo reports Joey Lucchesi will start on Wednesday against the Phillies.

      Advice: Lucchesi will take the ball for a spot start in place of Adrian Houser, who wound up being scratched from his scheduled outing after warming up in the event that he was needed during the late stages of Tuesday’s contest. The 30-year-old southpaw will be making his season debut after posting a 2.58 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 28/16 K/BB ratio across 38 1/3 innings (seven starts) for Triple-A Syracuse.

    • Designated for assignment
      The Pirates designated Fleming for assignment Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

      Advice: Fleming was torched for six runs (five earned) during Monday's win over the Brewers, causing his ERA to skyrocket from 3.50 to 5.68 on the season. Although his most recent outing was rough, his solid start to the season may still attract interest from other teams in need of bullpen depth. Rotowire.com Today, 2:46 pm
       
    • Throws simulated game
      Hall (knee) threw 35 pitches over two simulated innings Tuesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Hall came out of the throwing session feeling like he's ready to make a rehab start, but he had not yet spoken to the medical staff to confirm that's the next step. The left-hander has been sidelined for the last three-plus weeks with a left knee sprain. Hall would probably need at least two rehab starts before being activated. Rotowire.com Today, 2:03 pm

    • Could make MLB start
      Basso was recalled from Double-A Midland on Tuesday.

      Advice: Basso is set to make his first MLB appearance of his career, being called up after logging a 2.84 ERA in 25.1 innings at Double-A. He made one start at Triple-A this year but surrendered nine runs on 10 hits in 2.1 innings. Basso replaces Easton Lucas on the major-league roster and has a shot at making a spot start due to Alex Wood (shoulder) and Osvaldo Bido (finger) dealing with minor injuries.

    • Adrian Houser no longer starting Wednesday
      Adrian Houser has been scratched from Wednesday’s start against the Phillies.

      Advice: Mets manager Carlos Mendoza declined to specify who will take Houser’s place after the 31-year-old righty was forced to warm up in the ninth inning during Tuesday’s contest against the Phillies. It’ll most likely be lefty Joey Lucchesi coming up from Triple-A Syracuse to make a spot start, but nothing official yet. Regardless of who winds up taking the ball, fantasy managers will want to steer clear of that matchup altogether. Rotoworld Today, 1:33 pm
