    • Elects free agency
      Keller cleared waivers Wednesday and elected to become a free agent, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

      Advice: Keller was DFA'd by the White Sox on Sunday after posting a 4.86 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 16.2 innings, and he'll now try his luck in the open market rather than accepting an outright assignment to Triple-A Charlotte. The 28-year-old righty has not found much consistent success throughout his past few seasons in the majors, but he should have no problem securing at least a minor-league deal with another team in need of rotation depth.

    • Brad Keller elects to explore free agent market
      Brad Keller has elected free agency.

      Advice: The right-hander refused his outright assignment to Triple-A Charlotte after passing through waivers unclaimed and will now long for work on the open market. Keller posted a middling 4.86 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 13/6 K/BB ratio over 16 2/3 innings with the White Sox this season. There are enough teams starving for pitching depth that he shouldn’t be out of work for long. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:25 pm
       
    • Resumes mound work
      Freeland (elbow) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: It's a significant step in Freeland's rehab program, as it's the first time he's thrown off a mound since he landed on the injured list in mid-April with an elbow strain. The left-hander now needs to build up his arm strength before facing live batters and embarking on a rehab assignment, so he's likely still about a month away from rejoining Colorado's rotation.

    • Throws bullpen session
      Liberatore threw a bullpen session ahead of Wednesday's action against the Orioles, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Following last weekend's start against the Red Sox, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Liberatore wasn't likely to start Saturday versus the Cubs. However, the left-hander's bullpen session could indicate a change of plan, since it wouldn't make much sense to have a regular reliever make himself unavailable on a day during which St. Louis had to complete Tuesday's suspended game in addition to Wednesday's regularly scheduled contest. It remains to be seen who actually starts for the Cardinals on Saturday, but Liberatore seems to still be in the mix, at least. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:03 pm
       
    • Kyle Freeland (elbow) throws bullpen session
      Kyle Freeland (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Wednesday, the first time that he has done so since landing on the injured list with a left elbow strain.

      Advice: It’s been more than a month since Freeland has taken a mound, so it’s nice to see him up and throwing again. He’ll probably repeat the process a few times before progressing to facing live hitters. If all goes well there, he’ll need several minor league rehab starts before he’s cleared to return. Fantasy managers shouldn’t expect him back until the end of June. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:05 pm
       
    • Diamondbacks option Slade Cecconi to Triple-A
      Diamondbacks optioned RHP Slade Cecconi to Triple-A Reno.

      Advice: Cecconi was obliterated in Monday night’s loss to the Dodgers, giving up six runs over five innings against the Dodgers. He’ll try to work through his issues at the Triple-A level for the time being. Brandon Hughes was recalled from Triple-A Reno in a corresponding move on Wednesday.

    • Returns to Triple-A
      The Diamondbacks optioned Cecconi to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

      Advice: The right-hander followed an opener Monday against the Dodgers but still took the loss after he was tagged for six runs over five innings. Cecconi pitched well in his first two starts for the Diamondbacks in late April with just three runs allowed, but in four subsequent outings he has an 8.41 ERA and 11:7 K:BB, and he's given up seven homers during that stretch.

    • Jose Quintana gives up three-run homer in sixth
      Jose Quintana yielded three runs in six innings Wednesday in a no-decision against the Guardians.

      Advice: Quintana was one out away from getting through six scoreless, but Andrés Giménez ruined things by hitting a game-tying three-run homer then. Quintana still has just one win this season, that coming when the Mets scored 16 runs against the Braves on Apr. 11. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:55 pm
       
    • Jake Irvin delivers quality start in loss
      Jake Irvin dropped to 2-5 after allowing two runs in 6 1/3 innings Wednesday against the Twins.

      Advice: It’s Irvin’s fifth quality start, and he also has a couple of near misses. Still, the Nationals are 2-8 when he pitches. They’ve scored two runs or fewer in seven of his 10 outings, including one of the wins. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:36 pm
