  • Moved to 60-day IL
    The Cubs transferred Almonte (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Almonte suffered a setback in his recovery from a right shoulder strain this past week. He remains without an updated return timeline, but his move to the 60-day IL suggests the 30-year-old righty isn't expected back relatively soon. The Cubs signed Vinny Nittoli to an MLB deal Thursday to fill the open spot on the 40-man roster. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Yankees send reliever Gómez back to minors
    Yankees optioned RHP Yoendrys Gómez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

    Advice: Gómez was called up on Saturday after posting a 3.13 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and a 54/26 K/BB ratio over 46 innings in his 12 starts in the minors. However, he struggled in his only appearance with the Yankees, allowing five runs on four hits in two innings. He’ll go back into the Triple-A rotation and Jake Cousins was called up in a corresponding move. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Receiving afternoon off
    Bailey is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Bailey will get a breather for Thursday's day game after he started behind the plate in both of the first two games of the series. Curt Casali will spell him at catcher, forming a battery with starting pitcher Jordan Hicks. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Red Sox send reliever Campbell back to minors
    Red Sox optioned RHP Isaiah Campbell to Triple-A Worcester.

    Advice: Campbell was just promoted on Monday after posting a 2.19 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 18/3 K/BB ratio in 12 1/3 innings at Triple-A. However, he was lit up for three runs on three hits in 1/3 of an inning in his only appearance this week. He’ll try to figure things out at Triple-A; although, that hasn’t helped so far this season. LHP Bailey Horn is allegedly being called up to take his place. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
     
  • Red Sox option Tyler Heineman to the minors
    Red Sox optioned Tyler Heineman to Triple-A Worcester.

    Advice: With Connor Wong coming off the paternity list, Tyler Heineman will go back to the minors. He will continue to act as veteran organizational depth. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
     
  • Getting spot start Thursday
    Kuhl will start Thursday's game against Atlanta at Guaranteed Rate Field.

    Advice: Kuhl had started in 11 of his 13 appearances at Triple-A Charlotte prior to being called up June 14, but his first three outings with the big club have come out of the bullpen. However, Kuhl covered 4.1 innings and 99 pitches in long relief while mopping up in Sunday's 11-2 loss to the Tigers, so even though he'll be pitching on three days' rest, he should be able to provide the White Sox with a decent amount of length in a starting role. Unless he impresses against Atlanta to earn himself a longer stay in the rotation, Kuhl will likely be moved back to the bullpen or sent to the minors after Thursday's start.

  • Testing open market
    Andrews elected free agency Wednesday in lieu of accepting an outright assignment.

    Advice: Last week, the Yankees moved Andrews off their 40-man roster for the second time this season. Andrews accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre upon clearing waivers back in April, but he won't do the same this time around and will instead look to join an organization that can present him with a clearer path to the big leagues. The lefty reliever made 20 appearances this season at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, posting a 5.84 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 28:22 K:BB in 24.2 innings. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago
     
  • Sent back to minors
    The Yankees optioned Gomez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

    Advice: Gomez was sent out after he mopped up in Wednesday's 12-2 loss to the Mets, covering two innings while allowing five earned runs on four hits and three walks. The Yankees will replace him on the 26-man active roster with a fresh bullpen arm in Jake Cousins, who was called up from Triple-A. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Summoned to big leagues
    The Yankees recalled Cousins from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

    Advice: After right-handed reliever Yoendrys Gomez worked two innings in Wednesday's 12-2 loss to the Mets, the Yankees will move him off the 26-man active roster for a fresh bullpen arm in Cousins. The 29-year-old has previously made two relief appearances for the Yankees but has otherwise spent the entire 2024 campaign at Triple-A, covering six innings while giving up two earned runs and striking out eight batters.
