  • Spencer Turnbull exits start with sore shoulder
    Spencer Turnbull left Wednesday’s start against the Tigers after three innings with right shoulder soreness.

    Advice: Turnbull hadn’t pitched more than three innings since Apr. 30, so he wasn’t expected to go deep into this one. Nevertheless, the Phillies were probably aiming for one more inning from him today. Turnbull allowed one run before being replaced by fellow former Tiger Gregory Soto. Rotoworld Today, 11:11 am

  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    The Yankees outrighted Gonzalez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

    Advice: Gonzalez didn't garner any interest via trade or waivers, despite owning a 3.22 ERA and 86:31 K:BB in 89.1 career innings in the majors coming into 2024. He'll remain in the Yankees organization and provide left-handed relief depth at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Rotowire.com Today, 11:08 am
     
  • Shut down with groin strain
    The Rockies placed Bird on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a right groin strain.

    Advice: Bird sustained the injury in his most recent relief appearance in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Nationals and won't be eligible to return from the IL until July 8. The right-hander had recently returned from a month-long stay on the shelf due to elbow inflammation and made just three appearances out of the Colorado bullpen before being shut down again with a new injury.

  • Could be back sooner than expected
    Brewers general manager Matt Arnold said Wednesday that Williams (back) could return from the 60-day injured list sooner than his initial mid-to-late-July recovery timeline, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Williams was scheduled for a bullpen session Wednesday, which would have marked his first time throwing off a mound since being shut down during spring training with multiple stress fractures in his back. He will need to throw off the bump multiple times and eventually go out on a rehab assignment before being activated. That said, while Williams still has multiple checkpoints to hit in his rehab program, he looks to be in a good spot with his recovery. Rotowire.com Today, 10:33 am
     
  • Jake Bird (groin) goes back on IL for Rockies
    Rockies placed RHP Jake Bird on the 15-day IL, retroactive to June 23, with a right groin strain.

    Advice: No countermove was immediately announced. Bird had allowed two runs in 2 1/3 innings of relief work since returning from elbow inflammation on June 17. Rotoworld Today, 10:24 am

  • Chris Roycroft joins Cardinals as 27th man
    Chris Roycroft will serve as the Cardinals’ 27th man in the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader against the Braves.

    Advice: Roycroft has a 3.07 ERA in 12 relief appearances for the Cardinals this season. There’s a good chance he’ll appear in Game 2 tonight, as the Cardinals aren’t expecting spot starter Matthew Liberatore to go deep. Rotoworld Today, 10:21 am

  • Brewers DFA Joel Kuhnel after one day on roster
    Brewers designated RHP Joel Kuhnel for assignment.

    Advice: Kuhnel, who has a 6.30 ERA in 77 appearances since debuting with the Reds in 2019, didn’t pitch in his one day on Milwaukee’s roster. Rotoworld Today, 10:13 am
     
  • Moved off 40-man roster
    The Brewers designated Kuhnel for assignment Wednesday, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Kuhnel was on the Brewers' 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for one day and didn't make a relief appearance. He can elect free agency if he passes through waivers unclaimed. Rotowire.com Today, 10:08 am
     
  • David Daniel to start Thursday for Angels
    Davis Daniel was scratched from his Triple-A start and will pitch for the angels on Thursday.

    Advice: The Angels are down bad in the rotation at the moment, so the 27-year-old Daniel will slot in tomorrow. The right-hander has a 5.33 ERA in 14 starts for Salt Lake, but that’s largely the product of a .378 BABIP. He’s struck out 82, walked 25 and allowed just five homers in 76 innings.
