    • Sent down to Triple-A
      The Athletics optioned Lucas to Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.

      Advice: The move corresponds with the Athletics recalling right-hander Joey Estes from Triple-A Las Vegas. After having his contract selected from Las Vegas on Wednesday, Lucas struggled in his two major-league outings, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks while striking out six over 2.1 innings. Lucas has a more respectable 2.87 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 15.2 frames in Triple-A, so a return to the minors could help the southpaw regain some form. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
       
    • Recalled by Oakland
      The Athletics recalled Estes from Triple-A Las Vegas ahead of his start against the Mariners on Saturday.

      Advice: Despite a 2-3 record with a 6.04 ERA and 1.46 WHIP in Triple-A this season, Estes will take to the mound for the Athletics on Saturday in his season debut. The 22-year-old right-hander started in two games for Oakland last season, going 0-1 with a 7.20 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 10 innings. To make room for Estes, the Athletics optioned left-hander Easton Lucas to Triple-A Las Vegas. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
       
    • Athletics recall Joey Estes for Saturday start
      Athletics recalled RHP Joey Estes from Triple-A Las Vegas.

      Advice: As expected, the 22-year-old hurler will start for the Athletics on Saturday against the Mariners. He has struggled during his time at Triple-A this season — registering a cringe-inducing 6.04 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and a 26/10 K/BB ratio across 28 1/3 innings — but the M’s have been striking out at a record pace this season so perhaps there’s some streaming value to be mined in the deepest of leagues.

    • Athletics option Easton Lucas to Triple-A
      Athletics optioned LHP Easton Lucas to Triple-A Las Vegas.

      Advice: Someone needed to get the boot for the A’s to clear a spot on the roster for Joey Estes on Saturday and Lucas was the odd-man out this time around. The 27-year-old southpaw posted an 11.57 ERA, 3.00 WHIP and a 6/2 K/BB ratio over 2 1/3 innings in two appearances with the Athletics. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
       
    • Heads back to Triple-A
      Herget was optioned to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

      Advice: Herget gave up two earned runs while recording a three-inning save and failing to notch a strikeout Friday against the Cardinals. Mitch White was added to the Brewers' active roster in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 1:32 pm
       
    • DFA'd by Houston
      The Astros designated Bielak for assignment Saturday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The move comes with Houston reinstating right-hander Cristian Javier (neck) off the 15-day IL. Bielak made the Opening Day roster due to multiple injuries to the Astros' pitching staff. He's appeared in 10 games out of the bullpen, posting a 5.71 ERA and 1.76 WHIP over 17.1 innings. Bielak is out of minor-league options, but he could draw interest from teams looking for right-handed depth in the bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 11:42 am
       
    • Astros designate Brandon Bielak for assignment
      Astros designated RHP Brandon Bielak for assignment.

      Advice: No real surprise here as Bielak doesn’t really seem to have a role with the Astros moving forward besides pitching in mop-up situations. The 28-year-old righty has made 10 relief appearances this season in the big leagues and holds a serviceable career 4.65 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 155/85 K/BB ratio across 191 2/3 innings (70 appearances, 21 starts) since 2020.

    • Recalled from Triple-A
      Cuas was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

      Advice: Cuas, who has given up eight earned runs in six MLB innings through five appearances this year, should work in low-leverage situations. He has 17 strikeouts and a 4.32 ERA in 8.1 innings at Triple-A Rotowire.com Today, 11:18 am
       
    • To IL with shoulder strain
      Almonte was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right shoulder strain, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

      Advice: He didn't recover well from his last outing Tuesday against the Padres and there is no timeline for his return, per manager Craig Counsell. Almonte has a 3.45 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 20 strikeouts, one win and one save in 15.2 innings through 17 appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 11:16 am
