  • Secures fourth save
    Munoz earned the save over the Diamondbacks on Saturday, pitching a perfect ninth inning while striking out one.

    Advice: Munoz entered the game with a two-run lead in the ninth and went 1-2-3 through the heart of Arizona's lineup to secure his fourth save of the season. The right-handed reliever has now converted his last two save attempts after being tagged with the loss in extras against the Rockies a week ago and has not allowed a baserunner over that brief stretch.

  • Avisail Garcia on IL with left hamstring strain
    Marlins placed OF Avisail Garcia on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Garcia went 1-for-2 with a strikeout in Saturday’s game against the Nationals before leaving, and he’ll miss at least a week-plus while recovering. The Marlins are recalling Dane Myers from Triple-A Jacksonville to take Garcia’s place on the active roster. Hamstring strains have a wide variety or recovery times depending on the severity, but it’s likely the 32-year-old won’t be back until the middle of May. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago
     
  • Another strong outing
    Cecconi (1-1) took the loss Saturday against the Mariners, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings.

    Advice: Cecconi stifled Seattle's lineup for most of the contest, retiring 11 of the first 12 batters he faced, with seven of those batters going down on strikes. The 24-year-old right-hander would still get tagged with the loss after allowing an RBI single in the fifth, though he's now gone six innings in each of his first two starts. He's only surrendered three runs over that stretch while posting an 11:1 K:BB. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Holds on for eighth save
    Foley allowed two runs on three hits and no walks during the ninth inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-5 win against the Royals.

    Advice: The right-hander was staked a three-run lead and needed all of it as he surrendered his first earned runs of the campaign Saturday. Foley remains perfect in eight save chances this season and has a 1.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB across 12 innings. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Red Sox designate Joely Rodriguez for assignment
    Red Sox designated LHP Joely Rodriguez for assignment.

    Advice: Rodriguez is removed from both the active and 40-man roster to make room for Naoyuki Uwasawa. The left-hander did not pitch well in his 11 appearances for Boston with a 6.55 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 11 frames. If he goes unclaimed, Rodriguez will have the option to either report to Triple-A Worcester or elect free agency. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
     
  • Swats second homer
    Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Seager, who was not in the original starting lineup for Saturday's game, was a late addition. The home run was his second of the season. Seager's off to a slow start, slashing .247/.336/.330 over 110 plate appearances, which is disappointing for fantasy managers who expected more from the player that finished second in AL MVP voting last season. However, it's understandable when considering Seager underwent offseason hernia surgery and missed all but the final week of spring training. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
     
  • Posts career-high 12 strikeouts
    Kirby (3-2) earned the win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday, hurling seven shutout innings while allowing two hits and two walks. He struck out 12.

    Advice: Kirby wasn't playing around Saturday, fanning six of the first eight batters he faced en route to recording a career-high 12 strikeouts on the night. The right-hander has now hurled 12 shutout innings over his last two starts while Saturday also marked the second time this season in which he's allowed only two hits. Kirby now carries a 30:2 K:BB through five starts this month and has won his last two decisions. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
     
  • Called up Sunday
    The Marlins recalled Myers from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday, Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports.

    Advice: The 28-year-old was unable to earn a place on Miami's Opening Day roster but will join the big club a month into the season. Myers had a poor start to the campaign at Jacksonville with a .659 OPS and 31.8 percent strikeout rate in 25 games. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
     
  • Pushed off 40-man roster
    The Red Sox designated Rodriguez for assignment Sunday.

    Advice: Boston recalled right-hander Naoyuki Uwasawa from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move, but because Rodriguez doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, he was moved off the 40-man roster to make room on the 26-man active roster for Uwasawa. The lefty reliever has a decent track record at the big-league level, but he struggled in his 11 appearances with Boston so far this season, logging a 6.55 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB in 11 innings. It's unclear if Rodriguez will be a sought-after commodity on the waiver wire, despite being on an affordable one-year, $1.5 million contract this season. Rotowire.com 55 minutes ago
