    • Kyle Hendricks allows two runs in relief outing
      Kyle Hendricks allowed two runs over two innings on Thursday in a relief appearance against the Braves.

      Advice: Hendricks entered the contest in the eighth inning for his first relief appearance since 2016 and just his third career relief appearance of his 11-year career. He wound up surrendering a pair of runs in the eighth before coming back out to work a scoreless ninth. Cubs manager Craig Counsell indicated earlier this week that Hendricks would likely move back into the starting rotation at some point, but that seems a bit farfetched given his persistent struggles this season.

    • Outrighted to Double-A
      White cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Double-A Somerset.

      Advice: The Yankees claimed White off waivers from Tampa Bay on May 9, and he remained on the 40-man for just 11 days before being DFA'd on Monday. He has appeared in two games for Somerset since joining the Yankees organization, allowing two earned runs across two-thirds of an inning. Rotowire.com Today, 1:54 pm
       
    • Designated for assignment
      Peralta was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Seattle has scooped up Eduardo Salazar off waivers from the Dodgers and Peralta is the 40-man roster casualty. Peralta, 26, has spent all of this season at Triple-A Tacoma, putting up a 9.24 ERA and 12:8 K:BB over 12.2 frames. Rotowire.com Today, 1:51 pm
       
    • Grabs save Thursday
      Rogers earned the save in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Pirates, working around a hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

      Advice: Rogers was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth, with Camilo Doval having pitched three times in the last four days. The Pirates would get a couple of baserunners via an error and a Bryan Reynolds single, but Rogers would ultimately escape unscathed, securing his first save this season. The 33-year-old sidearmer has put together another solid start to the campaign -- his ERA is down to 2.19 with a 0.97 WHIP and 16 strikeouts with no walks across 24.2 innings. While Doval is firmly established as the closer in San Francisco, Rogers is the clear number-two option. Rotowire.com Today, 1:47 pm
       
    • Claimed by M's
      The Mariners claimed Salazar off waivers from the Dodgers on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: After pitching two scoreless innings for the Dodgers on May 15, Salazar was optioned to Triple-A and later designated for assignment. He'll once again hold a 40-man roster spot with his new club, though he will begin his tenure with the Mariners at Triple-A Tacoma. The 26-year-old right-hander has logged a 5.61 ERA and 1.78 WHIP through 33.2 innings across seven starts in the minors. Rotowire.com Today, 1:46 pm
       
    • M’s claim Eduardo Salazar off waivers from Dodgers
      Mariners claimed RHP Eduardo Salazar off waivers from the Dodgers.

      Advice: Los Angeles was probably hoping to sneak Salazar through waivers after designating him for assignment earlier this week, but he’ll head to Triple-A Tacoma as extra relief depth for Seattle. The 26-year-old righty threw a pair of scoreless frames in his lone appearance for the Dodgers this season. Rotoworld Today, 1:43 pm
       
    • Mariners designate Sammy Peralta for assignment
      Mariners designated LHP Sammy Peralta for assignment.

      Advice: Peralta has been jettisoned from Seattle’s 40-man roster to make room for newly-added reliever Eduardo Salazar. The 26-year-old southpaw didn’t make an appearance for Seattle after being claimed off waivers last month from the White Sox. Rotoworld Today, 1:42 pm
       
    • Yankees outright Colby White to Double-A
      Yankees sent RHP Colby White outright to Double-A Somerset.

      Advice: White passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment earlier this week and will remain with New York as a project reliever. The 25-year-old has yet to ascend to the big leagues and was claimed off waivers earlier this month from Tampa Bay. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm
       
    • Matt Waldron gives up two, gets no-decision
      Matt Waldron didn’t factor into the decision Thursday against the Reds after allowing two runs over five innings with seven strikeouts.

      Advice: Waldron gave up both of his runs in his first two innings before settling down quite nicely. The 27-year-old gave up six hits and two walks in another solid effort for the knuckleballer after scuffling in the early portion of the season. He’s absolutely worth streaming consideration; particularly in a start Tuesday against the Marlins. Rotoworld Today, 1:29 pm
