  • Back in Milwaukee
    The Brewers recalled Junk from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

    Advice: Junk will come up from the minors to fill the open spot in Milwaukee's pitching staff following the demotion of Tobias Myers to Triple-A on Saturday. Junk made three appearances for the Brewers during his first big-league stint this season, giving up five earned runs over five innings. He's turned in a 2.45 ERA and 1.36 WHIP with Nashville since being sent back down, but he will likely be limited to low-leverage work in the majors. The 28-year-old righty also has experience as a starter, opening the door for a potential spot start if Joe Ross (back) isn't able to return from the injured list when eligible June 5.

  • Nolan Schanuel out Saturday with thumb soreness
    Nolan Schanuel (thumb) remains out of the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Mariners.

    Advice: Schanuel remains on the bench for Saturday’s contest after being scratched from Friday’s lineup due to left thumb soreness. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern at the moment. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 12:19 pm
     
  • Brewers recall Janson Junk on Saturday
    Brewers recalled RHP Janson Junk from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Junk provides Milwaukee’s bullpen with some extra long relief depth for the remainder of their weekend series against the White Sox. The 28-year-old righty has made three relief appearances this season for the Brewers. Rotoworld Today, 12:17 pm
     
  • Brewers option Tobias Myers to Triple-A
    Brewers optioned RHP Tobias Myers to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Myers retreats to the minors after allowing five runs over 5 1/3 frames on Friday in a no-decision against the struggling White Sox. The 25-year-old righty has intriguing stuff, but it hasn’t translated to the majors yet as he holds a lackluster 5.40 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 27/10 K/BB ratio across 26 2/3 innings (seven appearances, six starts). He remains a work in progress and figures to be up-and-down for Milwaukee over the next few months. Rotoworld Today, 12:16 pm
     
  • Out again Saturday
    Schanuel (thumb) is absent from the Angels' lineup Saturday versus the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Schanuel was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of Friday's 5-4 loss and he'll once again take a seat Saturday. Willie Calhoun will slot in a first base for a second straight game, batting fourth against Seattle. Rotowire.com Today, 12:13 pm
     
  • Sent to Triple-A
    The Brewers optioned Myers to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

    Advice: Myers was knocked around during his start against the White Sox on Friday, allowing five earned runs in just 4.1 frames, and he will now head back to Nashville in order to right the ship. The 25-year-old owns a 5.40 ERA and 1.46 WHIP through 26.2 innings across seven big-league appearances this season, though he still may be relied upon later in the year if the Brewers run into additional problems with their pitching depth. Janson Junk was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 12:13 pm

  • Sitting Saturday
    O'Hoppe is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Mariners, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: O'Hoppe will get a breather after he went 2-for-15 with two solo home runs and three runs scored while starting the last four contests. Matt Thaiss will draw the start at catcher and bat sixth against Seattle. Rotowire.com Today, 12:08 pm
     
  • Takes seat Saturday
    Peralta isn't in the Padres' lineup for Saturday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Although the Padres are set to face right-hander Alec Marsh on Saturday, Peralta will sit on the bench while Donovan Solano serves as San Diego's designated hitter and bats sixth. Peralta has gone just 3-for-15 with seven strikeouts since joining the Friars on May 22. Rotowire.com Today, 12:08 pm
