  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Brewers optioned Ashby to Triple-A Nashville on Friday.

    Advice: The Brewers are down multiple starters due to injury, so this move seems to reflect their lack of faith in Ashby right now. The left-hander made a start Wednesday against the Phillies, allowing just two runs but walking five over five innings. He will join the rotation at Nashville. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Set to start Saturday
    Peralta is scheduled to start Saturday against the Tigers, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

    Advice: The right-hander initially lined up to start Friday's series opener, but Tobias Myers will instead take the ball for Milwaukee. Peralta has given up at least one homer in each of his past four starts, though he's still been effective in those past three outings with a 2.55 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 25:4 K:BB across 17.2 innings.

  • Back in big leagues
    The White Sox recalled Cannon from Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: Cannon is absorbing the roster spot vacated by Jake Woodford and also seems likely to take Woodford's spot in the White Sox' rotation. The rookie right-hander has posted a 7.24 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB in 13.2 innings covering three starts at the major-league level this season. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Designated for assignment
    The White Sox designated Woodford for assignment Friday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: The move comes one day after Woodford was torched for seven runs on 10 hits and three walks over four innings in a loss to the Red Sox. He's being replaced on the roster by Jonathan Cannon, who will also likely take Woodford's spot in the rotation. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Slotting into rotation Friday
    Lynch is scheduled to start Friday's game against the Mariners at Kauffman Stadium.

    Advice: After being called up from Triple-A Omaha this past weekend, Lynch was lined up to make his third start of the season with the Royals during the team's series versus the Guardians earlier this week, but he was pushed back in the pitching schedule after Wednesday's game was postponed. He'll end up taking the hill for the opening game of the series with the Mariners and will go head-to-head against Seattle right-hander Bryce Miller. Over his three outings (two starts) with the big club this season, Lynch has delivered a 1.50 ERA, 0.75 WHIP and 8:2 K:BB in 12 innings. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago
     
  • Pulled off rehab assignment
    Williamson has been pulled off his rehab assignment due to continued issues with his left shoulder, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: Williamson threw four shutout innings, allowed just one hit and showed good velocity in his last rehab start with Triple-A Louisville on Sunday. However, there's evidently renewed concern for left shoulder strain which has kept him sidelined all season. Consider him out indefinitely. Rotowire.com Today, 11:20 am
     
  • Tobias Myers to start for Brewers Friday
    Brewers RHP Tobias Myers will start on Friday.

    Advice: Myers has been up and down from the minor leagues already this season. He has a 5.40 ERA in seven appearances (six starts) at the major league level this year. Myers will take the ball Friday night against the Tigers opposite Reese Olson. Rotoworld Today, 11:13 am
     
  • Drawing start Friday
    Myers will start Friday's game in Detroit, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Myers was available in relief for Wednesday's game against the Phillies after being recalled from Triple-A Nashville earlier that day, but since he wasn't needed, he'll be thrown back into the rotation this weekend against the Tigers. The 25-year-old has made six starts and one relief appearance for the Brewers this season, posting a 5.40 ERA and 27:10 K:BB over 26.2 innings. Myers could be needed for additional starts after Friday as Milwaukee battles numerous injuries to its rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 10:54 am
     
  • Senga to throw bullpen next week
    Kodai Senga (shoulder) is set to throw a bullpen session early next week, according to Mike Puma of the New York Post.

    Advice: The Mets believe the 31-year-old right-hander is trending in the right direction. A bullpen session would represent significant progress, though Senga is still without a clear timetable for returning. He’s been out all season recovering from a shoulder injury. Rotoworld Today, 9:16 am
