Player Notes

  • Gregory Santos (knee) could return on Saturday
    Gregory Santos (knee) underwent a precautionary MRI exam that revealed no structural damage.

    Advice: The Mariners are now optimistic that Santos will be able to avoid a stint on the injured list and could even return to action as early as Saturday. He’ll go through a pregame workout on Friday and if all goes well he’ll be cleared to return to the M’s bullpen. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
  • Rays acquire Cole Sulser from Mets on Friday
    Rays acquired RHP Cole Sulser from the Mets for cash considerations.

    Advice: The 34-year-old right-hander had been designated for assignment by the Mets earlier in the week, so they were content to flip him for anything that they could get at this point. He had posted a 9.64 ERA and 1.92 WHIP in just 4 2/3 innings for the Mets prior to getting waived. Expect Sulser to join the Rays’ active roster on Saturday. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
  • Rays recall Tyler Zuber from Triple-A Durham
    Rays recalled RHP Tyler Zuber from Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: Zuber was just optioned out on Tuesday, but he’ll head right back to join the big-league bullpen after Randy Arozarena was dealt away to the Mariners on Thursday night. Expect that the 29-year-old hurler will be utilized in the middle innings by manager Kevin Cash. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
  • Facing hitters
    Simpson (elbow) will throw a live bullpen Saturday with Single-A Jupiter, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Simpson has been cleared to face batters after completing a pair of bullpen sessions in the last week. While he threw 35 pitches in his previous bullpen, Simpson is expected to throw 25 in Saturday's session. He's ahead of schedule, with the initial expectation being that he required two more bullpens before facing hitters. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
  • Pulled off rehab assignment
    The Pirates paused Borucki's (wrist) rehab assignment Friday and he's currently with the team being re-assessed, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Borucki has made 10 rehab appearances, yielding seven runs across 9.2 innings. However, his rehab stint was put on pause Friday after seemingly suffering a setback in his recovery from carpal tunnel syndrome. There isn't a timetable for Borucki to return to Triple-A Indianapolis. Rotowire.com Today, 3:25 pm
  • Athletics option Hogan Harris to Triple-A Vegas
    Athletics optioned LHP Hogan Harris to Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: With Ross Stripling and Paul Blackburn rejoining the Athletics’ rotation on Thursday and Friday respectively, the A’s suddenly faced a roster crunch. Harris, 27, had posted a 2.98 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and a 42/25 K/BB ratio over 54 1/3 innings in 11 appearances (nine starts) for the Athletics this season. He should get another opportunity at the big-league level before the season is through. Rotoworld Today, 3:19 pm
  • Phillies targeting Blue Jays’ righty Chad Green
    Jon Morosi of MLB Network reports that the Phillies have made Blue Jays’ right-hander Chad Green their top bullpen target.

    Advice: It wouldn’t be a trade deadline if Dave Dombrowksi wasn’t looking to add to his bullpen. Phillies’ manager Rob Thomson was on the Yankees’ coaching staff when Green debuted there, so the two are very familiar with one another. The Jays already dealt Yimi Garcia to the Mariners on Friday so it’s only a matter of time seemingly before Green is on the move as well. Rotoworld Today, 2:52 pm
  • Blue Jays recall Zach Pop from Triple-A Buffalo
    Blue Jays recalled RHP Zach Pop from Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: The 27-year-old right-hander will get another shot to pitch out of the Blue Jays’ bullpen with Yimi Garcia on the move to the Mariners on Friday. Pop has posted a 5.90 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and a 19/12 K/BB ratio over 29 innings in 34 appearances for the Jays this season. Rotoworld Today, 2:47 pm
  • Brought up to majors
    The Angels recalled Daniel from Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

    Advice: Daniel will replace Kenny Rosenberg, who surrendered six runs in a start Thursday, in the back end of the Angels rotation. Daniel has made three starts with the Angels this season, landing a 5.82 ERA with a 14:1 K:BB across 17,0 innings. Assuming he fills Rosenberg's spot, Daniel would be in line for a home start against the Rockies on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:45 pm
