    • Back with big club
      The Red Sox recalled Dalbec from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday.

      Advice: After being demoted to Triple-A in early May, Dalbec heated up at the plate during his time at Worcester, slashing .253/.336/.526 with seven home runs in his last 24 games prior to his call-up. Dalbec has a long track record of mashing at the Triple-A level, but his ongoing struggles with making consistent contact across various stints in the majors over the last few years likely means that the ship has sailed on him re-emerging as an everyday player for the Red Sox. However, while he's up with the big club, the right-handed-hitting Dalbec could occupy the short side of a platoon at first base or in right field with left-handed hitters Dominic Smith and Wilyer Abreu.

    • Heads to 60-day IL
      The Red Sox transferred Whitlock (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL.

      Advice: The transaction is merely a procedural move to open up a spot on the 40-man roster for infielder/outfielder Jamie Westbrook, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Worcester ahead of Sunday's game against the Tigers. Whitlock is already slated to miss the remainder of the season after he underwent an internal bracing procedure on his right elbow earlier in the week. He's expected to make a full recovery in 10-to-12 months, making it likely that he opens the 2025 season on the shelf. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago

    • DFA'd by Oakland
      The Athletics designated Brooks for assignment on Sunday.

      Advice: Brooks joined Oakland's rotation in mid-May but won't retain his place on the 40-man roster after he made four starts and posted a 5.82 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 10:6 K:BB over 21.2 innings. Luis Medina (knee) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move and will start Sunday in Atlanta. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
       
    • Lands on IL with hamstring strain
      The Red Sox placed Gonzalez on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a left hamstring strain.

      Advice: Gonzalez was one of two Boston infielders to hit the shelf Sunday with a hamstring injury, as Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) was also deactivated. The lefty-hitting Enmanuel Valdez is expected to occupy the strong side of a platoon at second base while Grissom is on the IL, but Gonzalez might have been the preferred option at the keystone against left-handed pitching had he not strained his hamstring. Jamie Westbrook -- whose contract was selected from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday -- now profiles as a likely platoon mate for Valdez at second base. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago

    • Contributes homer Saturday
      Higashioka went 2-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday in a 7-3 victory versus the Royals.

      Advice: Higashioka padded San Diego's lead in the ninth inning with a solo shot to left field. It was just his second homer this season after he belted exactly 10 long balls in each of the past three seasons while with the Yankees. Higashioka's playing time has fallen as a member of the Padres -- he has just 52 plate appearances so far this season. The backup catcher is slashing a paltry .157/.173/.314, though four of his eight hits have gone for extra bases. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
       
    • Called up for Sunday's start
      Priester was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis and will start Sunday against the Blue Jays, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The 24-year-old will join Pittsburgh's rotation Sunday as the replacement for Martin Perez (groin), who landed on the injured list Tuesday. Priester has been decent in five starts for the Pirates this season with a 4.33 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 17:10 K:BB across 27 innings, and another solid outing Sunday could earn him a longer look in the rotation.

    • Placed on IL
      Pittsburgh placed Williams on the 10-day injured list Sunday with a right wrist sprain, retroactive to May 30.

      Advice: Williams will hit the injured list and be moved off the active roster after being called up to the Pirates earlier this May. This move will concurrently bring righty Quinn Priester up to the majors in time to get the start on the bump Sunday. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
       
    • Reinstated for Sunday's start
      Medina (knee) was activated from the 60-day injured list and will start Sunday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: The 25-year-old has been sidelined for the first two months of 2024 due to a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee, but he's ready to make his season debut Sunday in Atlanta. Medina built up to 72 pitches in his final rehab start and will likely face some workload limitations in his first outing or two in the big leagues. The right-hander posted a 5.42 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 106:57 K:BB across 109.2 innings as a rookie last year. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago

    • Notches eighth hold
      Peralta earned a hold against the Royals on Saturday by retiring the only batter he faced.

      Advice: Peralta was brought in with two outs and two on in the bottom of the eighth inning and got Freddy Fermin to line out to end the threat. He was credited with his eighth hold of the campaign, which leads San Diego. Peralta was touched up for four runs over one-third of an inning against Colorado on April 28 but still has a solid 2.66 ERA ERA this season. Over his past 13 outings, the lefty reliever has yielded just one run over 11.1 frames while posting a 10:4 K:BB. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
