  • Tigers option Keider Moreno back to Triple-A
    Tigers optioned RHP Keider Moreno to Triple-A Toledo.

    Advice: Moreno heads back to the minors after surrendering five runs over 4 1/3 innings on Wednesday in a spot start against the Phillies. The 23-year-old righty has struggled at the highest level, but he’s flashed an ability to miss bats with his slider in the big leagues. Rotoworld Today, 1:56 pm
     
  • Back in majors
    The Guardians recalled McCaughan from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

    Advice: McCaughan was dispatched back to Triple-A on Monday after appearing in one game for the Guardians. He'll now return to the majors to replace Xzavion Curry, who was optioned to Columbus in a corresponding move. McCaughan has allowed 10 earned runs in 6.2 MLB innings between Cleveland and Miami, and he'll almost certainly be limited to low-leverage opportunities during his stint in the bigs.

  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Guardians optioned Curry to Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

    Advice: Curry took the loss out of the bullpen for the Guardians on Wednesday versus the Orioles and finds himself back in the minors a day later. He'll be replaced by a fresh bullpen arm in Darren McCaughan. Rotowire.com Today, 1:49 pm
     
  • Reds transfer Emilio Pagán to 60-day IL
    Reds transferred RHP Emilio Pagán to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: Pagán has been on the shelf since earlier this mont recovering from a right lat strain. The procedural move will keep him out until at least early August. Rotoworld Today, 1:49 pm
     
  • Throws bullpen session
    Sanchez (shoulder) threw an 18-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: He could throw off the mound again this weekend. While it appears he's inching in the right direction, Sanchez won't be eligible for activation until early August after being transferred to the 60-day injured list earlier this week. He's coming back from right shoulder inflammation. Rotowire.com Today, 1:31 pm
     
  • Ruled out through All-Star break
    Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Thursday that Walker (finger) will not return before the All-Star break, Paul Casella of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The team doesn't have a timetable to offer yet on Walker, who is dealing with right index finger inflammation, but it is not expecting him back before the end of the first half. With Spencer Turnbull (lat) joining Walker on the 15-day injured list, the Phillies' rotation depth is being tested. Filling the fifth spot for now will be Michael Mercado.

  • Moved to 60-day IL
    The Reds transferred Pagan (lat) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Pagan landed on the injured list June 9 due to a strained right lat, and his move to the 60-day IL will ensure that he remains sidelined until at least early August. His 40-man roster spot will be given to Noelvi Marte, who was reinstated from his 80-game suspension Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:17 pm
     
  • Expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks
    Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Thursday that he expects Turnbull (lat) to be sidelined for 6-to-8 weeks, Alex Coffey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Advice: Turnbull suffered a right lat strain in his first start back in the Phillies' rotation Wednesday and was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday. Given the pitcher's lengthy injury history, the team will proceed with extra caution. Michael Mercado will slide into the Philadelphia rotation for now, at least until Taijuan Walker (finger) is ready. Rotowire.com Today, 1:02 pm
     
  • Rehab paused due to stiff neck
    Clevinger's (elbow) next rehab start has been pushed back to next week due to neck stiffness, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Advice: Clevinger last pitched with Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday, when he allowed five runs and threw 71 pitches over 4.2 innings. The White Sox are hopeful that he will need just one more rehab start before rejoining their rotation, although that will be dependent on how he looks and feels. Clevinger is targeting 70-to-80 pitches in next week's rehab start. Rotowire.com Today, 12:22 pm
