  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    Armenteros cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Las Vegas by the Athletics on Thursday, Francys Romero of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Armenteros was removed from the A's 40-man roster earlier this week, but all other teams passed on adding him via waivers so he will remain in the Oakland organization. The 24-year-old has slashed only .133/.278/.250 with a 51.4 percent strikeout rate this season with Las Vegas. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Could be available in relief
    Astros manager Joe Espada said Thursday that Brown could be available out of the bullpen for the next few days, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Brown last pitched on Sunday and had been on turn for a start Saturday in Detroit, but Cristian Javier (neck) is returning that day and Justin Verlander will move ahead of Brown to pitch Sunday on regular rest. Brown seemingly would be set up to make a start Monday versus the Athletics if he doesn't pitch in relief before then, but it doesn't appear that has been decided yet. Espada hasn't ruled out the possibility of using a six-man rotation for a while, which would leave room for both Brown an Spencer Arrighetti to keep making starts. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Claimed by Angels
    The Angels claimed Goodrum off waivers from the Rays on Thursday.

    Advice: Goodrum was DFA'd by the Rays on Monday after going 3-for-16 with six strikeouts across nine games with Tampa Bay. The 32-year-old utility man will likely remain in Triple-A as he moves into the Angels organization, though he will claim a spot on the 40-man roster. Kelvin Caceres (lat) was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake and placed on the 60-day IL in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • First rehab start Sunday
    Urquidy will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Urquidy is slated for four innings and/or 60-to-65 pitches in the outing. It's a fairly substantial workload considering the right-hander has been on the shelf with a forearm strain since mid-March. Urquidy would seemingly need at least one additional rehab start after that before returning to the Astros. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago

  • Goes deep Wednesday
    Adell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a additional RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 victory versus the Pirates.

    Advice: Adell put the Angels on the board with a solo shot to center field in the third inning, and he added a run-scoring single in the fifth. He finished with his first multi-hit game since April 27. With Mike Trout set to miss extended time due to knee surgery, Adell has become a near-everyday starter in the outfield. However, he's struggled so far this month, slashing .125/.185/.250 with seven strikeouts over seven games, though he does have three RBI and a pair of steals. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Guardians acquire Darren McCaughan from Marlins
    Guardians acquired RHP Darren McCaughan from the Marlins for cash considerations.

    Advice: McCaughan heads to Cleveland as extra organizational relief depth after being jettisoned last weekend from Miami’s 40-man roster. The 28-year-old righty has made six relief appearances in the majors since 2021. Rotoworld Today, 11:55 am
     
  • Guardians transfer Gavin Williams to 60-day IL
    Guardians transferred RHP Gavin Williams to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: Nothing has changed with Williams from a return timetable standpoint as the procedural move merely clears up a spot on Cleveland’s 40-man roster for newly-acquired reliever Darren McCaughan. The 24-year-old righty has been on the shelf since spring training due to right elbow inflammation, but was able to resume a throwing program last week following a brief setback. There’s a chance he’s ready to return at some point next month. Rotoworld Today, 11:53 am
     
  • Shifted to 60-day IL
    The Guardians transferred Williams (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: The move clears a spot on the team's 40-man roster for the addition of Darren McCaughan. Williams resumed a throwing program a week ago after a brief shutdown period following a setback with his right elbow. It was going to take him a while to get ramped back up anyway, though, so this transaction shouldn't alter his timetable. Rotowire.com Today, 11:43 am
     
  • Traded to Cleveland
    The Guardians acquired McCaughan from the Marlins in exchange for cash considerations.

    Advice: McCaughan had been designated for assignment by the Marlins after giving up eight earned runs over 4.2 relief innings. The 28-year-old is capable of pitching as a starter or reliever and will give Cleveland swingman depth at Triple-A Columbus. Rotowire.com Today, 11:37 am
