  • Walker Buehler (elbow) activated for start vs. MIA
    Dodgers activated RHP Waker Buehler off the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Buehler will get a chance to make his first start in 20 months after recovering from Tommy John surgery. The right-hander was up to 75 pitches in rehab starts, and he should be able to work the necessary five innings to qualify for a potential win. Fantasy managers should absolutely give Buehler a chance if he’s still on the waiver wire. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago

  • Drops appeal, serving five-game ban
    Peralta dropped his appeal of a five-game suspension and will be begin serving the ban Monday.

    Advice: Peralta was handed the suspension for intentionally throwing at the Rays' Jose Siri in an 8-2 win over Tampa Bay last Tuesday. The right-hander was ejected from that contest, but after appealing the five-game ban, Peralta took the hill Sunday on normal rest and was dealt the loss in the Brewers' series finale with the Cubs. With Peralta ending his appeal, he won't be able to make his next turn through the rotation that would have fallen Friday versus the Cardinals, though he could make his next start as soon as Saturday. The Brewers are likely to either call up Robert Gasser from Triple-A Nashville to start Friday, or the team will treat Friday's contest as a bullpen day. Rotowire.com Today, 2:35 pm
     
  • Brewers sending Janson Junk to Triple-A
    Brewers optioned RHP Janson Junk to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Junk will report back to Triple-A with the Brewers opting to go with Kevin Herget to replace him on the roster. Junk was awful in his appearances with the Brewers with 13 hits allowed and five runs given up over three relief appearances. Rotoworld Today, 2:33 pm
     
  • Shifts to 60-day IL
    The Brewers transferred Junis (shoulder/head) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

    Advice: Junis initially went on the IL back in early April with a right shoulder impingement but had a more recent setback when he was struck in the head by a ball during batting practice. As a result of being transferred to the 60-day IL, Junis will be moved off the 40-man roster and won't be eligible for activation until early June. Rotowire.com Today, 2:32 pm

  • Brewers select Kevin Herget from Nashville
    Brewers selected the contract of RHP Kevin Herget from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Herget was designated for assignment back in April, so the Brewers had to add him back to the 40-man roster to make this move. They did so with Jakob Junis being transferred to the 60-day injured list and Janson Junk being optioned to Triple-A. Rotoworld Today, 2:30 pm
     
  • Sent back to minors
    The Brewers optioned Junk to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Advice: Junk was roughed up for five runs on 13 hits and one walk over five relief innings in his three relief appearances with the Brewers. He had been mostly starting at Nashville prior to the promotion and could re-enter the Triple-A club's rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 2:27 pm
     
  • Called up by Milwaukee
    The Brewers selected Herget's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Advice: Right-hander Janson Junk was optioned to Nashville to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Herget. The 33-year-old right-hander made 10 appearances for Nashville prior to his call-up, delivering a 3.46 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 13 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 2:26 pm
     
  • Move to bullpen confirmed
    Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Monday that Brown will be available out of the bullpen for the team's three-game series against the Padres, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Brown could rejoin the Chicago rotation at some point down the road, but for now, he'll shift to the bullpen with Justin Steele (hamstring) returning from the injured list to start Monday's series opener. The Cubs will keep Hayden Wesneski in the rotation over Brown as their No. 5 starter until Kyle Hendricks (back) returns from the IL. Rotowire.com Today, 2:25 pm
