  • Kodai Senga (shoulder) still just playing catch
    Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Saturday that Kodai Senga (shoulder) has yet to progress to a bullpen session.

    Advice: Mendoza adds that Senga is still playing light catch and there is no plan yet for him to advance to throwing off a mound. The 30-year-old righty has been out all season recovering from a right shoulder injury and remains without a definitive timeline to return. Rotoworld Today, 11:34 am

  • Back with Friars
    The Padres recalled Gillaspie from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

    Advice: With Yu Darvish (groin) and Joe Musgrove (elbow) both headed for the injured list, Gillaspie and Randy Vasquez will come up from the minors to fill the openings in San Diego's pitching staff. Gillaspie has appeared in two games for the Padres this year, throwing 2.2 shutout innings, but he has posted a 5.17 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through 15.2 frames in Triple-A. He will likely be limited to low-leverage situations while with the big-league club. Rotowire.com Today, 11:29 am
  • Padres recall Logan Gillaspie on Saturday
    Padres recalled RHP Logan Gillaspie from Triple-A El Paso.

    Advice: Gillaspie provides San Diego with some extra bullpen depth with Yu Darvish (groin) and Joe Musgrove (triceps) landing on the shelf ahead of Saturday’s game against the the Royals. The 27-year-old righty has made a pair of scoreless relief appearances this season for the Padres. Rotoworld Today, 11:27 am
  • Lands on injured list
    The Padres placed Darvish on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left groin strain.

    Advice: Darvish had to make an early exit from his start Wednesday against Miami due to hamstring problems, but the issue appears to instead be groin-related. His move to the IL is backdated to Thursday, allowing him to be eligible to return June 14. He will be joined by fellow starter Joe Musgrove (elbow) on the injured list while Randy Vasquez and Logan Gillaspie come up from Triple-A El Paso to take their places. Rotowire.com Today, 11:26 am
  • Padres put Yu Darvish on IL with left groin strain
    Padres placed RHP Yu Darvish on the 15-day injured list with a left groin strain.

    Advice: Darvish was originally believed to be dealing with a hamstring issue, but it turns out to be a groin strain that will keep him sidelined for at least a few weeks. The 37-year-old righty lasted just three innings on Wednesday against the Marlins before exiting due to hamstring tightness and holds a solid 3.20 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 53/15 K/BB ratio over 56 1/3 innings (11 starts) this season. There should be a clearer timetable for his return at some point in the coming days. Rotoworld Today, 11:25 am
  • Phillies claim Freddy Tarnok off waivers from A’s
    Phillies claimed RHP Freddy Tarnok off waivers from the Athletics.

    Advice: Tarnok has been activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley where he’ll function as extra organizational pitching depth. The 25-year-old righty has made six appearances (one start) in the majors over the last three years. Rotoworld Today, 11:21 am
  • Phillies transfer Dylan Covey to 60-day IL
    Phillies transferred RHP Dylan Covey to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: The procedural move opens up a spot on Philadelphia’s 40-man roster for the club to claim Freddy Tarnok off waivers from the Athletics. Covey has been out all season due to a right shoulder strain. Rotoworld Today, 11:18 am

  • Joe Musgrove lands on IL with elbow inflammation
    Padres placed RHP Joe Musgrove on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.

    Advice: Musgrove lasted just two starts before an elbow issue winds up sending him back on the shelf. Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune reported that Musgrove is dealing with a recurring triceps/elbow issue, which “is not believed at this time to be a season-ending injury.” The fact that the term season-ending is even being brought up here isn’t an encouraging sign. It certainly doesn’t sound great and fantasy managers should anticipate Musgrove returning anytime soon. There should be some clarity on his status in the coming days once he undergoes some additional imaging to determine whether he’s dealing with any structural damage. Stay tuned.
