  • DFA'd by Jays
    The Blue Jays designated Mayza for assignment Saturday.

    Advice: Mayza allowed five runs to score without recording an out during Friday's loss to the Yankees, inflating his ERA to 8.03 through 24.2 innings -- a far cry from his 1.52 ERA last season. The 32-year-old southpaw's drastic regression has now cost him his spot on the Jays' 40-man roster, though he could still receive some attention on the waiver wire from bullpen-needy teams hoping to unlock Mayza's previous form. Jose Cuas was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo to fill the open spot in Toronto's bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 8:07 am
     
  • Blue Jays recall reliever Jose Cuas on Saturday
    Blue Jays recalled RHP Jose Cuas from Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: Cuas was scooped up off waivers last weekend from the Cubs and will make his Toronto debut when he gets into a game. The 30-year-old righty has registered an underwhelming 7.43 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 14/6 K/BB ratio over 13 1/3 innings (nine appearances) this season in the big leagues. Rotoworld Today, 7:59 am
     
  • Blue Jays designate Tim Mayza for assignment
    Blue Jays designated LHP Tim Mayza for assignment.

    Advice: Mayza has been a central component of Toronto’s relief mix the last few years, but he’s struggled mightily this season with a bloated 8.03 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 16/12 K/BB ratio across 24 2/3 innings (35 appearances). Given his extensive track record of success at the highest level, there might be another organization willing to see if they can get the 32-year-old lefty back on track.

  • Up from Triple-A
    The Blue Jays recalled Cuas from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday.

    Advice: The Jays claimed Cuas off waivers from the Cubs on Sunday, and he'll now join the big-league club to give the team a fresh arm in its bullpen. The 30-year-old owns a 7.43 ERA and 1.65 WHIP through 13.1 innings in the majors this season, and he allowed two runs in just two-thirds of an inning during his most recent Triple-A outing, so it's unlikely he receives much more than mop-up duty while with Toronto. Tim Mayza was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 7:55 am
     
  • Takes loss Friday
    Thompson (3-3) allowed three runs on three hits and one walk while striking out one over 1.1 innings, picking up the loss to Oakland on Friday.

    Advice: Thompson got the final out of the seventh inning of a tie game then was the pitcher of record when the Diamondbacks took the lead. Usually, that means game over -- Thompson holds the lead then Paul Sewald closes it -- but that was not the case Friday. Thompson, who had allowed just four runs over 32 innings and leads Arizona with 11 holds, was roughed up in the eighth. He told Steve Gilbert of MLB.com that he couldn't find the right adjustment to avoid throwing very hittable strikes. Rotowire.com Today, 6:44 am
     
  • Takes tough loss Friday
    Miller (4-6) allowed three runs on three hits across an inning of work and took the loss Friday against the Angels. He struck out two.

    Advice: Miller allowed two hits but had a chance to escape the eighth inning with no damage before he allowed a two-out, three-run home run to Logan O'Hoppe. The veteran righty had been pitching well this month with a 2.25 ERA across seven appearances, so this likely is just a blip on the radar. However, Miller does now have a subpar 4.62 ERA overall, which he'll work on lowering in the coming weeks. Rotowire.com Today, 6:21 am
     
  • Effective in team debut
    Lopez worked around a hit to toss a scoreless inning of relief in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Brewers.

    Advice: Lopez had his contract selected from Triple-A Iowa before the game, and he proceeded to make his team debut right away. The righty was dumped by the Mets earlier this year, and he struggled to a 5.95 ERA last season with three different teams, but he was an effective reliever as recently as 2022. If Lopez can get back to that form with the Cubs, he could establish a regular role in their bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 6:17 am
     
  • Marlins outright Kent Emanuel to Triple-A
    Marlins sent LHP Kent Emanuel outright to Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Emanuel went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment earlier this week. The 32-year-old lefty has made five relief appearances this season for the Marlins. Rotoworld Today, 5:54 am
     
  • D-backs recall Humberto Castellanos on Friday
    Diamondbacks recalled RHP Humberto Castellanos from Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: Castellanos received the call to rejoin Arizona’s relief mix for Friday’s showdown against the Athletics. The 26-year-old righty made one relief appearance earlier this months in mop-up duty. Rotoworld Today, 5:50 am
