    • Likely moving into rotation
      Cubs manager Craig Counsell said after Friday's loss to the Cardinals that Hendricks is likely to take Jordan Wicks' (oblique) spot in the rotation, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

      Advice: Hendricks came on in relief for the injured Wicks in the second inning and tossed 4.1 scoreless frames. The veteran right-hander has been disastrous on the whole this season with an 8.20 ERA, he's unscored upon over his last 8.2 innings out of the bullpen. Hendricks would tentatively be lined up to start Wednesday at home versus the Giants. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago
    • Day off Saturday
      Hays is not in the starting lineup Saturday against the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: Hays will get a breather after he went 1-for-4 with a walk and a strikeout in the team's 11-inning 5-3 loss in the series opener Friday. Colton Cowser will slide over to left field while Cedric Mullins enter the lineup in center field and bats seventh versus Philadelphia. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
    • Recalled from Triple-A
      The Cubs recalled Thompson from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: Thompson will provide a fresh arm for a bullpen that was needed to cover 7.1 innings Friday. He holds a 4.97 ERA and 19:6 K:BB over 12.2 relief innings during his time with the Cubs this season. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
    • Breather Saturday
      Mateo is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Phillies, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: Mateo will take a seat after he went 2-for-13 with a three-run home run, two runs scored and a stolen base while starting four consecutive games after being activated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday. Jordan Westburg will slide over to second base while Ramon Urias enters the lineup at third base and bats ninth against Philadelphia. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

    • IL move made official
      The Cubs placed Wick on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a right oblique strain, Taylor McGregor reports.

      Advice: Wicks had to be pulled from Friday's start against the Cardinals in the second inning due to the injury. It's not clear what grade the strain is, so it's difficult to project a return date. Typically, though, even low-grade oblique strains result in longer than a minimum stay on the IL. Kyle Hendricks will slide into Wicks' rotation spot. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

    • Cubs recall Keegan Thompson from Triple-A
      Cubs recalled RHP Keegan Thompson from Triple-A

      Advice: Thompson posted a serviceable 4.97 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 19/6 K/BB ratio across 12 2/3 innings (nine appearances) earlier this season for the Cubs. The 29-year-old righty provides Chicago’s bullpen with some extra long relief depth moving forward. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
    • Back in big leagues
      Vespi was called up from Triple-A Norfolk on Saturday.

      Advice: Vespi will return to the major-league bullpen after being sent down June 6, replacing Kyle Bradish (elbow) on the Orioles' roster following Bradish's placement on the 15-day injured list Saturday. The left-hander has made two appearances with Baltimore this season, tossing two scoreless innings while allowing two hits. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
    • Cubs put Jordan Wicks (oblique) on 15-day IL
      Cubs placed LHP Jordan Wicks on the 15-day injured list with a right oblique strain.

      Advice: Wicks suffered the injury during Friday’s start against the Cardinals and is likely to wind up missing at least a couple weeks, even in a best-case scenario. It’ll probably be Kyle Hendricks taking his spot in Chicago’s starting rotation since they don’t really have a ton of alternatives at the moment. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago

    • Receiving start in right field
      Laureano will start in right field and bat ninth in Saturday's game versus the Rays.

      Advice: Atlanta will deploy Adam Duvall, Jarred Kelenic and Laureano as its starting outfield in this one and it could be the regular setup for them for a while with Michael Harris (hamstring) joining Ronald Acuna (knee) on the injured list. Laureano had a lowly .494 OPS in 31 games with the Guardians earlier this season before getting released. He seemed to find his footing at Triple-A Gwinnett with a 1.028 OPS and three homers in 14 contests. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
