  • Cubs recall Hayden Wesneski on Tuesday
    Cubs recalled RHP Hayden Wesneski from Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Wesneski gets the call back to the majors to replace injured veterans Kyle Hendricks (back) and Drew Smyly (hip) after being optioned last week to Triple-A Iowa. The 26-year-old righty put together one of the better outings of his recent career last Wednesday, tossing four shutout frames in relief against the Diamondbacks. He figures to operate in a swingman-type role for the Cubs until further notice. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
  • Cubs recall Luke Little on Tuesday
    Cubs recalled LHP Luke Little from Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Little has held his own this season in with a 2.35 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 6/6 K/BB ratio across 7 2/3 innings (eight appearances) this season in the big leagues. He provides the Cubs with some extra relief depth moving forward. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
  • Back with big club
    The Cubs recalled Little from Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Little was just returned to Iowa on Monday after serving as the team's 27th man during Sunday's doubleheader against the Marlins, but he's been rerouted back to the big-league bullpen. He'll give manager Craig Counsell another lefty option in relief. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
  • To IL with hip injury
    The Cubs placed Smyly on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to April 22, with a right hip impingement, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Smyly last pitched on Sunday against the Marlins and must have suffered an injury during the outing. He'll be eligible to return May 7, although it's not clear at this point whether he will be ready at that time. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago

  • Cubs lose Drew Smyly to IL with hip impingement
    Cubs placed LHP Drew Smyly on the 15-day injured list with a right hip impingement.

    Advice: Smyly has pitched to a pedestrian 4.97 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 11/5 K/BB ratio across 12 2/3 innings (nine appearances) this season out of Chicago’s bullpen. The 34-year-old veteran southpaw will presumably be sidelined for at least a couple weeks. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago

  • M’s activate and option Collin Snider to Triple-A

  • Blake Treinen starting rehab assignment Tuesday
    Blake Treinen (lung) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: Treinen should only require a handful of rehab appearances before he’s ready to make his season debut. The 35-year-old veteran reliever has been out since early March after suffering a bruised lung when he was hit by a comebacker during a spring training contest. Rotoworld Today, 1:11 pm
  • Cleared for rehab assignment
    Treinen (chest) has joined Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin a rehab assignment, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Advice: It will be his first game action since he suffered a bruised lung when he was struck in the chest by a comebacker in early March. Since he's missed so much time, Treinen would figure to require a handful of rehab appearances before he's ready to rejoin the Dodgers' bullpen. The 35-year-old hasn't pitched for the Dodgers since 2022, as he's missed most of the last two seasons following shoulder surgery. Rotowire.com Today, 1:10 pm
  • Closing in on rehab assignment
    Topa (knee) threw a 20-pitch live batting practice session Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Advice: Everything seemed to go as hoped, which means Topa should be able to begin a rehab assignment any day now. He's been out since late March with left patellar tendinitis and figures to require a handful of rehab appearances before being activated. Rotowire.com Today, 12:58 pm
