  • Rays place Ryan Pepiot (leg) on 15-day IL
    Rays placed RHP Ryan Pepiot on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 6, with a left lower leg contusion.

    Advice: Taj Bradley was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and will make his 2024 regular season debut on Friday against the Yankees. Fortunately for fantasy managers, Pepiot should only need a minimum stint on the injured list and should be ready to jump right back into the Rays’ rotation when that time comes.

  • Mets-Cardinals game postponed
    Gray and the Cardinals won't play the Mets on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The game will be made up on Aug. 5, which had been a mutual off day for the two clubs. As a result of the postponement, Gray is expected to be pushed back one day in the pitching schedule to start Thursday in Milwaukee. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago

  • Mets-Cardinals postponed Wednesday
    Quintana and the Mets won't face the Cardinals on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in St. Louis, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The two teams will make up the game Aug. 5. Assuming Quintana wasn't too overtaxed from his warmup prior to Wednesday's game being postponed, he could have his next start pushed back to Friday's series opener versus Atlanta following Thursday's team off day.

  • Back on track with sixth save
    Estevez retired all three batters he faced with two strikeouts to earn the save Wednesday against the Pirates.

    Advice: The right-hander pitched a scoreless ninth Tuesday in a blowout victory in his first appearance of May, which gives him back-to-back scoreless appearances after he gave up six runs in his previous four outings. Estevez has converted six of eight save chances and has an ugly 5.06 ERA over 10.2 innings this season, but a 0.84 WHIP and 13:0 K:BB are encouraging, and his status as the Angels' closer should be stable for now.

  • Moves past sore knee
    Wilson (knee) has made two relief appearances since exiting early in a 6-4 loss to the Padres on April 30, recording two outs while surrendering four earned runs on four hits and no walks.

    Advice: After leaving the April 30 game when he took a line drive off his right knee, Wilson was sent in for X-rays, which revealed no major damage. He went unused for the next couple of days before he was summoned out of the bullpen Friday and Tuesday. He struck out the lone batter he faced in Friday's 3-0 loss to Baltimore, but he was bludgeoned for four hits -- including two home runs -- in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to Arizona.

  • José Soriano can’t get through five versus Pirates
    José Soriano allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings Wednesday in a no-decision against the Pirates.

    Advice: Soriano struck out six and opened up with 4 1/3 scoreless innings before a double snapped a streak of nine straight batters retired. He got one more out immediately afterwards, but he then walked two, gave up a three-run double to Oneil Cruz and an RBI single to Connor Joe, which ended his day. There’s a great deal to like about Soriano’s stuff, but considering that he never worked as a starter above A-ball coming into this season, he’s not at all a finished product. He’ll get more consistent, but since he’s likely to be on a pretty restrictive innings limit, he might not be much of a factor in fantasy leagues until next year. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago

  • Carlos Estévez perfect in earning sixth save
    Carlos Estévez worked a perfect ninth against the Pirates for his sixth save Wednesday.

    Advice: Estévez had given up six runs in his previous five appearances, but he had an easy time today, striking out two of the three batters he faced. This was his second straight day pitching, so he’ll probably need Thursday off. That could create a save chance for Luis García. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago
     
  • Martín Pérez charged with four runs versus Angels
    Martín Pérez yielded four runs in five-plus innings Wednesday versus the Angels.

    Advice: It was two runs through five, but Pérez allowed two singles to start the sixth and both runners came around to score off Luis Ortiz. Pérez struck out five and walked none. His 36/13 K/BB ratio in 45 innings this season is an improvement over his typical ratio, but he’s still not someone we would consider in fantasy leagues. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago

  • Joins bullpen
    The Twins recalled Staumont from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Staumont has allowed five runs but boasts a 16:3 K:BB over 10.2 relief innings this season with St. Paul. If/when he makes an appearance with the Twins, it will be his first in the majors since he had thoracic outlet syndrome surgery last July. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
