  • Dodgers bolster bullpen with Nabil Crismatt
    Dodgers selected the contract of RHP Nabil Crismatt from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: Crismatt tossed a pair of scoreless frames for Los Angeles back on March 31 in his lone appearance this season in the big leagues. The 29-year-old righty provides the Dodgers with a fresh arm for the remainder of their weekend series north of the border up in Toronto. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago
     
  • Back with Mets
    The Mets recalled Nunez from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Nunez allowed one run in two innings during his MLB debut against Atlanta on April 9, and he has thrown 7.1 scoreless frames this season in the minors. He'll return to the big leagues to replace Drew Smith (shoulder), who was placed on the 15-day IL in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
     
  • Dodgers option lefty Nick Ramirez to Triple-A
    Dodgers optioned LHP Nick Ramirez to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: It’s pretty jarring that a 34-year-old reliever still has minor league options, but Ramirez heads back to Oklahoma City after allowing just one run over seven innings of work in five appearances this season for the Dodgers. He should be back in 10 days, if not sooner, if there’s an injury development. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago
     
  • Lands on IL
    The Mets placed Smith on the 15-day injured list Saturday with right shoulder inflammation, Will Sammon of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Smith allowed two runs in one inning during his last appearance Tuesday, and his shoulder will now keep him out for at least the next two weeks. Dedniel Nunez was recalled from Triple-A Syracuse to fill the vacancy in New York's bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 10:43 am

  • Mets add Dedniel Núñez to bullpen mix on Saturday
    Mets recalled RHP Dedniel Núñez from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: Núñez made his big-league debut earlier this month with a two-inning relief appearance against the division-rival Braves back on April 9. The 27-year-old righty will take the spot of injured reliever Drew Smith (shoulder) in New York’s bullpen until further notice. Rotoworld Today, 10:41 am
     
  • Mets place Drew Smith (shoulder) on 15-day IL
    Mets placed RHP Drew Smith on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 24, with right shoulder inflammation.

    Advice: Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters Smith is only expected to miss two weeks after undergoing an MRI that didn’t reveal any structural damage. The 30-year-old righty has been a stabilizing component of New York’s high-leverage mix for a few years now, but doesn’t offer a ton of fantasy appeal with fireballer Edwin Díaz healthy and pitching at an elite level.

  • Sent out on rehab assignment
    Hernandez (shoulder) began his rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

    Advice: Omaha's game Friday was rained out, but Hernandez should be expected to make a few rehab outings with the club over the next few weeks as he looks to get up to speed. The right-hander missed all of spring training due to a right shoulder impingement. Rotowire.com Today, 10:18 am
     
  • Records second win
    Doval (2-0) allowed two hits and a walk while striking out one over a scoreless inning to earn the win Friday over the Pirates.

    Advice: Doval walked the tightrope in the top of the ninth inning Friday, loading the bases with one out before inducing a double play to escape the jam while keeping the game scoreless. Patrick Bailey then delivered a walk-off three-run home run to give Doval and the Giants the win. Doval has kept runs off the board in seven of his nine appearances this season, earning four saves with a 3.12 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB over 8.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 10:01 am
     
  • Feels good following live BP
    After throwing a 50-pitch live batting practice session Saturday, Pivetta (elbow) noted that he was able to throw all his pitches and was happy with his outing, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Pivetta continues to make progress in his rehab from a right elbow flexor strain that landed him on the 15-day IL on April 9. Following his latest throwing session, Pivetta will meet with team doctors and the front office to figure out his next steps, which could include a rehab assignment in the coming week. Before landing on the IL, Pivetta went 1-1 over two starts, allowing one run on eight hits while striking out 13 over 11 frames. Rotowire.com Today, 9:53 am
