  • Secures first win
    Webb (1-3) walked one and struck out one over 2.1 scoreless and hitless innings to earn the win over the Rays on Saturday.

    Advice: Webb has kept runs off the board over his last 5.2 innings. He was called on early Saturday as Kyle Bradish struggled over 2.2 innings, but Webb was able to set the tone as the Orioles' five relievers gave up just four baserunners over the rest of the contest. Webb is at a 2.08 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 24:13 K:BB with two saves and five holds across 26 innings this season. He continues to see some work as a setup man while also often pitching in the middle innings. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
     
  • Adbert Alzolay (forearm) moved to 60-day IL
    Cubs transferred RHP Adbert Alzolay from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: Alzolay is now off the 40-man roster, and the Cubs used that space to select the contract of David Bote. Alzolay has been on the injured list since May 13 with a forearm strain, and he’s now not eligible to return to the Chicago bullpen until July 13. It’s plausible we won’t see him back much later than that date. Rotoworld 6 minutes ago
     
  • Months away from return
    Graterol (shoulder) hasn't yet resumed playing catch and is likely at least two months away from being able to return to the Dodgers' bullpen, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Graterol landed on the IL with right shoulder inflammation prior to the Dodgers' season-opening series in South Korea. The righty reliever began a throwing progression in mid-April, but that was stopped after about a week due to continued soreness. Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Graterol hasn't yet resumed playing catch and added, "In the context of spring training, if you're not even playing catch, you're at least a couple months away."

  • Shifts to 60-day IL
    The Cubs transferred Alzolay (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Sunday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: The right-hander has been sidelined nearly three weeks by a forearm strain and remains shut down from throwing, so the move likely won't significantly affect his return timeline. Alzolay will be eligible to be activated around the All-Star break, and there should be a better idea of when he'll return once he starts up a throwing program. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Mets send LHP Josh Walker to Triple-A Syracuse
    Mets optioned LHP Josh Walker to Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: Is it really an option if Walker has to go? Just something to think about. Walker heads back to Syracuse to make room for Drew Smith after Smith came off the injured list in the corresponding transaction. He’ll be back in the coming weeks as a relief option.

  • Mets activate Drew Smith (shoulder) off 15-day IL
    Mets activated RHP Drew Smith off the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Smith has been out of action since near the end of April while dealing with inflammation in his right shoulder. The 30-year-old should work in high-leverage now that he’s back with the Mets. The Mets optioned Josh Walker back to Triple-A Syracuse to make room for Smith on the roster.

  • Return not imminent
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Brasier (calf) remains "a ways out" from returning to action, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Brasier landed on the IL with a strained right calf in late April. A subsequent MRI revealed that the injury is mild, and the righty reliever has resumed playing catch. However, Roberts' comments indicate that Brasier isn't yet nearing a return. He'll likely need a minor-league rehab stint before rejoining Los Angeles' bullpen. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago

  • Not close to returning
    Kelly (shoulder) is on a "slow program," and his return is not imminent, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Kelly has been on the injured list since May 6, and he'll likely need a minor-league rehab assignment before rejoining Los Angeles' bullpen given that his absence will almost certainly extend beyond a month. The veteran reliever was recently throwing from 90 feet, but manager Dave Roberts clarified Friday that Kelly isn't close to a return. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago

  • Emmanuel Ramirez brought up from Jacksonville
    Marlins recalled RHP Emmanuel Ramirez from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Ramirez will take the place of Sixto Sánchez (shoulder) after he was placed on the 15-day injured list. Ramirez has appeared in two games so far in 2024 while allowing an earned run over 2 1/3 innings of work. He’ll work in the middle innings while with the Fish. Rotoworld 50 minutes ago
