  • Set to start Wednesday
    Contreras will start Wednesday's game against the Athletics, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The 24-year-old was acquired from the Pirates in May and has worked out of the bullpen for his first nine appearances for the Halos. Contreras has pitched to a 3.29 ERA and 0.95 WHIP over 13.2 innings with Anaheim, and manager Ron Washington said the club is hoping the right-hander can cover about four or five innings versus Oakland, per Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com.

  • Brewers finalize trade for veteran Dallas Keuchel
    Brewers acquired LHP Dallas Keuchel from the Mariners for cash considerations.

    Advice: The trade is now official. Keuchel signed a minor league contract with the Mariners back in late May and will replace rookie Carlos Rodriguez in Milwaukee’s injury-ravaged starting rotation. The 36-year-old southpaw made 10 appearances (six starts) last year for the Twins and has pitched well this season in the minors with a solid 3.93 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 45/22 K/BB ratio across 71 innings (13 starts) in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. The lack of strikeout upside severely limits his fantasy appeal, but he’s going to get an extended run with the Brewers for now. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:26 pm
     
  • Traded to Milwaukee
    The Brewers acquired Keuchel from the Mariners on Tuesday in exchange for cash considerations, Mark Feinsand of MLB.comreports.

    Advice: The 36-year-old joined the Mariners on a minor-league contract in early April and pitched well at Triple-A Tacoma with a 3.93 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 45:22 K:BB over 71 innings (13 starts). Milwaukee has dealt with numerous injuries to its rotation this season, and Keuchel will provide organizational depth for a depleted position group. He'll likely report to Triple-A Nashville but could quickly earn a call to the big leagues. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:31 pm
     
  • Report: Brewers acquire LHP Keuchel from Mariners
    Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that the Brewers have acquired LHP Dallas Keuchel from the Mariners for cash considerations.

    Advice: Keuchel is currently on a minor-league contract with the Mariners, but the expectation is that the southpaw will become a member of the Milwaukee rotation. The 36-year-old has registered a 3.93 ERA in Triple-A Tacoma over 13 starts and 71 innings. A former Cy Young winner, Keuchel has struggled mightily in the majors, but might be worth a look for those who are needy for starting pitching help. Rotoworld Tuesday, 12:26 pm
     
  • Ohtani walks, hits sac fly in win over White Sox
    Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI against the White Sox on Monday.

    Advice: It was a quiet game for the Dodgers offense against White Sox starter Garrett Crochet. Ohtani hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning to give Los Angeles a 3-0 lead. It was his 58th RBI on the season. He trails only Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna for the National League lead in RBI. Ohtani is hitting .318 with a 1.021 OPS on the season.

  • Plays catch from 90 feet
    Ohtani (elbow) played catch from 90 feet Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Advice: Ohtani is throwing from 90 feet for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery last September. He continues to progress in his rehab with no issues, and he's certainly shown no ill effects at the plate as a result of his ongoing recovery from the elbow issue. The Dodgers haven't ruled out the possibility of Ohtani playing the outfield at some point in 2024, though that still seems like a long shot. He will continue to serve as the club's designated hitter, with an eye on resuming two-way duties in 2025. Rotowire.com Monday, 4:12 pm
     
  • Joins big-league bullpen
    The Guardians recalled Curry from Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

    Advice: Curry will provide Cleveland's bullpen with some length. The right-hander holds a 5.68 ERA and 8:3 K:BB over 12.2 frames covering three starts for the Guardians this season. Rotowire.com Monday, 1:56 pm
     
  • Guardians recall RHP Xzavion Curry from Triple-A
    Guardians recalled RHP Xzavion Curry from Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: Curry had a 4.19 ERA in four starts since being sent down. Unless there’s something they haven’t revealed, the Guardians aren’t going to need Curry as a starter right now. Instead, it looks like he’ll return to the middle relief role he generally did good work in last year. Rotoworld Monday, 1:48 pm
     
  • Throwing live BP on Monday
    Gallen (hamstring) is slated to throw a live batting practice session Monday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Gallen threw 52 pitches in a previous simulated game this past Tuesday, so he'll likely increase his workload a bit in Monday's throwing session. If all goes well, the right-hander will likely be activated from the 15-day injured list during the Diamondbacks' series against Oakland that begins Friday. Gallen has been on the shelf since May 30 with a right hamstring strain. Rotowire.com Monday, 4:42 am
