  • Claimed by Houston
    Ort was claimed off waivers by the Astros and optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Ort was acquired by the Orioles in February but struggled to a 12.08 ERA in 14 outings at Triple-A Norfolk, which led to him being removed from the 40-man roster. The 32-year-old made 21 appearances for the Red Sox last season and posted a 6.26 ERA and 1.57 WHIP over 23 innings, and he should serve as organizational depth for the Astros.

  • Martin Pérez officially heads to IL with groin injury
    Pirates placed LHP Martin Pérez on the 15-day injured list with a left groin strain.

    Advice: As expected, Pérez will miss at least two weeks while he deals with the groin injury that caused him to leave his start Sunday versus Atlanta. Pittsburgh didn’t add a pitcher as the corresponding transaction, but they’ll need to make a move to replace the southpaw in the rotation. Quinn Priester is likely that arm. Rotoworld Today, 10:55 am

  • Opening Tuesday's game
    Miller will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher in Tuesday's game against the Phillies, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Miller was unavailable to pitch over the weekend due to a calf injury, but he appears to be fine now. He'll likely work an inning or two Tuesday before turning the game over the bullpen. Baggarly notes that the Giants have discussed recalling Spencer Howard from Triple-A Sacramento to serve as a bulk reliever Tuesday, though the team has yet to make any roster moves as of yet.

  • Shifts to 60-day IL
    The Twins transferred Topa from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Tuesday with left patellar tendinitis.

    Advice: The right-hander was diagnosed with a small tear in the patellar tendon of his left knee in mid-May and isn't expected to resume throwing for another month, so a move to the 60-day IL isn't much of a surprise. Topa was a key bullpen piece for Seattle last season with a 2.61 ERA and 24 holds in 75 appearances, but he's been sidelined by knee issues since late in spring training and won't be debuting for Minnesota until midseason, at least.

  • Nick Ramirez operating as 27th player for Dodgers
    Nick Ramirez will be the 27th player for the Dodgers for their doubleheader Tuesday against the Mets.

    Advice: Ramirez will be eligible to pitch in both games. He’ll then report back to Triple-A Oklahoma City, assuming the Dodgers don’t make a move after the game to place him on the official active roster. Rotoworld Today, 10:16 am
     
  • Serving as 27th man Tuesday
    The Dodgers recalled Ramirez from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Advice: Ramirez will serve as the 27th man for the Dodgers during their doubleheader against the Mets. The left-handed reliever has permitted four runs with a 3:5 K:BB over 9.1 innings during his time in the majors this season. Rotowire.com Today, 10:12 am
     
  • Twins move Justin Topa (knee) to 60-day IL
    Twins transferred RHP Justin Topa (knee) to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: Topa is hoping to return this year, but the 33-year-old is currently dealing with a partial tear in his left patellar tendon. The right-hander clears room on the 40-man roster for Diego Castillo. Rotoworld Today, 10:10 am

  • Headed to injured list
    Pirates manager Derek Shelton said Tuesday in an interview with 93.7 The Fan Pittsburgh that Perez (groin) will be placed on the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Perez suffered a left groin injury during Sunday's start against Atlanta, and while the severity is unclear at the moment, it's evidently bad enough that the left-hander will be sidelined for at least a couple weeks. Quinn Priester looms as an obvious candidate to replace Perez in the Pittsburgh rotation. Perez's next turn will come up Sunday in Toronto. Rotowire.com Today, 9:21 am

  • Martin Pérez heading to IL with groin injury
    Pirates manager Derek Shelton told reporters that Martin Pérez will be placed on the injured list with his groin injury.

    Advice: Pérez left Sunday’s start against Atlanta with a left groin injury, and the southpaw will now miss at least a couple of weeks while he’s away from the team. There’s no word yet as to who will take Pérez’s place in the rotation, but Pittsburgh will have to add a new arm to the group over the weekend. Quinn Priester could make sense, as he pitched Sunday and would be on turn for Pérez’s spot. Rotoworld Today, 9:16 am
