  • Elects free agency
    Nittoli cleared waivers Sunday and elected to become a free agent.

    Advice: Nittoli was pushed off Oakland's 40-man roster Friday in order to make room for Osvaldo Bido. Rather than returning to Triple-A Las Vegas, the 33-year-old Nittoli will look to latch on with another organization -- likely in a situation that would offer MLB playing time. He owns a 2.25 ERA and 1.25 WHIP through eight innings in the big leagues this season and has posted similar numbers in Triple-A, so he could attract a fair amount of attention on the open market.

  • Blue Jays claim José Cuas off waivers from Cubs
    Blue Jays claimed RHP José Cuas off waivers from the Cubs.

    Advice: Cuas was designated for assignment last weekend by Chicago after struggling to a lackluster 7.43 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 14/6 K/BB ratio over 13 1/3 innings (nine appearances) this season in the majors. He’ll report to Triple-A Buffalo as extra organizational relief depth for Toronto. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • David Dahl knocks in two in Phillies’ victory
    David Dahl went 2-for-4 with two RBI against the Diamondbacks on Sunday.

    Advice: Dahl broke a 1-0 game open in the sixth after an odd balk from Justin Martinez advanced an additional runner into scoring position. Dahl also homered as a pinch-hitter in Saturday’s rout. Prior to that, he’d been in a 2-for-28 rut after a strong first three games with the Phillies. He’ll continue to start in left field against righties for now. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago

  • Claimed by Jays
    The Blue Jays claimed Cuas off waivers from the Cubs on Sunday and optioned him to Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: Cuas was jettisoned off Chicago's 40-man roster last week after posting a 7.43 ERA and 1.65 WHIP through 13.1 innings in the big leagues. His Triple-A numbers haven't been much better (6.35 ERA, 1.68 WHIP), and while he will reclaim a 40-man roster spot upon joining his new organization, the 29-year-old righty surely has plenty of work to do in Buffalo before the Blue Jays can consider adding him to their MLB bullpen.

  • Sitting third straight
    Kepler (neck) isn't in the Twins' lineup for Sunday's game against Oakland.

    Advice: Neck spasms will cause Kepler to miss his third game in a row Sunday, though he still doesn't seem to be trending toward a trip to the injured list. Manuel Margot will pick up another start in right field and bat leadoff. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago

  • Sitting against lefty
    Larnach isn't in the Twins' lineup for Sunday's game versus the Athletics.

    Advice: Larnach and his career .569 OPS against lefties will take a seat Sunday against left-handed starter Hogan Harris. Willi Castro will fill the opening in left field while Kyle Farmer starts at the keystone, batting eighth. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Transferred to 60-day IL
    The Yankees transferred Burdi (hip) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

    Advice: Burdi's move to the 60-day injured list is to make room on the 40-man roster for J.D. Davis, who the Yankees acquired from the Athletics on Sunday. Burdi was placed on the 15-day injured list May 24 due to right hip inflammation. He received a platet-rich injection for the injury June 2, but he hasn't been cleared to start throwing. Burdi appeared in 12 games before landing on the injured list, registering a 1.86 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 9.2 innings. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
     
  • Headed to Oakland
    Groshans was traded by the Yankees to the Athletics on Sunday in exchange for J.D. Davis and cash considerations.

    Advice: After beginning the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre, Groshans was moved to Double-A Somerset, where he was slashing .234/.302/.316 with eight RBI over 121 plate appearances before the trade. The 23-year-old Groshans hasn't seen major-league action since 2022 with the Marlins, and he will look to get back to The Show with the Athletics. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
     
  • Outrighted to Louisville
    Capel cleared waivers Sunday and accepted his outright assignment to Triple-A Louisville, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: Capel was booted off Cincinnati's 40-man roster Friday, and he will officially remain with the organization rather than deciding to test his luck in free agency. The 27-year-old outfielder is slashing .221/.365/.435 with 21 RBI through 192 plate appearances in Triple-A this season and may rejoin the Reds later in the summer if outfield depth becomes a problem for the big-league club.
