  • Placed on injured list
    The Cubs placed Thompson on the 15-day injured list Friday with a right rib fracture, retroactive to Thursday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Thompson has fired 5.1 scoreless innings since returning from Triple-A Iowa on June 16, but he'll now be sidelined for at least the next two weeks as a result of his injury. Ethan Roberts will come up from the minors to fill the vacancy in Chicago's bullpen. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
  • Recalled by Arizona
    The Diamondbacks recalled Castellanos from Triple-A Reno on Friday.

    Advice: It'll be the second stint in the majors for Castellanos this season after his contract was selected June 6. The 28-year-old right-hander made one appearance for the big club June 7 against the Padres and was optioned back to the minors the next day. Castellanos has started in 11 games for Triple-A Reno this season, but he will likely serve out of Arizona's bullpen with right-hander Scott McGough being optioned to Reno in the corresponding move and ace Zac Gallen (hamstring) set to return from the injured list.

  • Sent to Reno
    The Diamondbacks optioned McGough to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

    Advice: Since being called up to Arizona on June 8, McGough has posted an 8.18 ERA and 1.64 WHIP across 11 innings while striking out 10 batters and walking eight. He'll now head back to Triple-A following his poor performance, and Humberto Castellanos will rejoin the D-backs as McGough's replacement. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
  • Ramon Laureano (back) held out of lineup Friday
    Ramon Laureano was held out of the Braves’ starting lineup on Friday night due to soreness in his back.

    Advice: The 29-year-old outfielder hopes to be able to return to action on Saturday. Luke Williams will draw a rare start in left field in his place on Friday night and will bat ninth against Martin Perez and the Pirates. Rotoworld 29 minutes ago

  • Links up with Baltimore
    Smith signed a minor-league contract with the Orioles on Friday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: The right-hander was released by the Marlins last week and didn't take long to latch on with a new organization. Smith posted a 4.25 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB over 29.2 innings for Miami this season, and he'll likely fill a low-leverage relief role if he gets called up by Baltimore.

  • Pirates activate Martin Pérez for Friday return
    Pirates activated LHP Martin Pérez from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: The 33-year-old southpaw will return to the Pirates’ rotation on Friday night against the Braves. Prior to landing on the injured list at the end of May with a left groin strain, Pérez had registered an underwhelming 4.71 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and a 46/19 K/BB ratio across 57 1/3 innings through his first 11 starts. He’s certainly not a recommended streaming option against a powerful Braves’ offense in his first start back off the injured list. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago
  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. (hand) sits after hit-by-pitch
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. (hand) was held out of the Marlins’ starting lineup on Friday after being hit by a pitch on Thursday.

    Advice: X-rays came back negative for any fractures, but the 26-year-old outfielder was still a bit sore on Friday so the decision was made to hold him out of action. Chisholm will be available off the Marlins’ bench on Friday and is expected to return to the starting lineup on Saturday. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago
  • Officially activated
    Perez (groin) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list and will start Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Perez has been shelved since May 28 due to a strained left groin and after making one rehab start, he'll rejoin the big-league club and start Friday's game. In his lone minor-league appearance, Perez threw 63 pitches, so he'll likely be on a pitch count Friday. Prior to the injury, Perez owned a 4.71 ERA across 57.1 innings with Pittsburgh.

  • Orioles sign Burch Smith to minor league deal
    Orioles signed RHP Burch Smith to a minor league contract.

    Advice: The 34-year-old hurler appeared in 25 games out of the Marlins’ bullpen this season, posting a 4.25 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and a 23/9 K/BB ratio over 29 2/3 innings of work. He’ll add some quality organizational bullpen depth for the Orioles at Triple-A Norfolk, Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
