Player Notes

  • 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
  • Slated for bullpen
    Verlander (neck) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Saturday's session will be Verlander's third bullpen since being placed on the injured list June 18. The 41-year-old was stretched out to 40 pitches in his last bullpen and could be one or two more sessions away from returning. Once Verlander is activated, Jake Bloss would likely be pushed out of the rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 2:34 pm
  • Orioles bolster rotation, add Zach Eflin from Rays
    Orioles acquired RHP Zach Eflin from the Rays for INF/OF Mac Horvath, RHP Jackson Baumiester and OF Matthew Etzel.

    Advice: The Orioles had cast a wide net in their search for an upgrade to their starting rotation and they were effective in landing one of the better options available. That may not mean they are finished though, as they still have room to upgrade and a logjam of prospects to deal from. Eflin made his final start for the Rays on Wednesday, so anticipate that he’ll make his Orioles’ debut at some point early next week. Rotoworld Today, 2:31 pm
  • Completes another bullpen
    Garcia (elbow) threw a 35-pitch bullpen Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Garcia completed a 15-pitch bullpen Saturday and was able to jump up to 35 pitches in Friday's session. The right-hander could progress to facing live hitters soon before what's expected to be a lengthy minor-league rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Today, 2:26 pm
  • Brewers place Rob Zastryzny (elbow) on 15-day IL
    Brewers placed LHP Rob Zastryzny on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 25, with left elbow tendinitis.

    Advice: The 32-year-old southpaw had been excellent in his time with the Brewers, posting a 1.17 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and a 5/1 K/BB ratio over 7 2/3 innings. No word on how long he’ll be shelved for. Janson Junk was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 2:21 pm
  • Tossing bullpen
    Wicks (oblique) will throw a bullpen Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Wicks' recovery from a Grade 2 right oblique strain has gone slower than expected, but he'll throw off a mound Friday for the first time since being placed on the IL on June 15. Wicks becomes eligible to return in mid-August, but he may require more time to recover. Rotowire.com Today, 2:17 pm
  • Moved to 60-day IL
    The Cubs transferred Brown (neck) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: The move frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for Christian Bethancourt. Brown now isn't eligible for activation until mid-August, but he hadn't seemed likely to return before then, anyway. Rotowire.com Today, 2:13 pm

  • Sent down to Triple-A
    The Marlins optioned Munoz to Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

    Advice: Munoz surrendered six runs in five innings during a start against the Orioles on Thursday and was removed from the active roster. Since being recalled June 8, Munoz logged a 5.76 ERA in 45.1 innings for Miami. Rotowire.com Today, 2:10 pm
  • Max Meyer set to start for Marlins on Saturday
    Marlins’ manager Skip Schumaker confirmed Friday that Max Meyer will be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville to start on Saturday against the Brewers.

    Advice: It’s about time. The 25-year-old hurler has been refining his craft in short starts in the minor leagues since mid-April as the Marlins wanted to limit his innings (and gain and extra year of team control). He’s not expected to face any sort of innings limitations on a per-start basis, but the Marlins will absolutely be cognizant of his workload going forward for the duration of the season. He’s worth an immediate add in any fantasy leagues where he may still be available. Rotoworld Today, 1:35 pm
