  • Not starting Saturday
    Garcia is not in the Rangers' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Garcia will begin Saturday's game in the dugout. His last rest day was April 16 against the Tigers, though he did pinch hit for Jared Walsh in the ninth inning. Lefty-hitting Travis Jankowski will start in right field Saturday and bat eighth against Reds right-hander Hunter Greene. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Dodgers transferred Hurt (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

    Advice: Hurt has been on the injured list since April 20 due to right shoulder inflammation, and his move to the 60-day IL ensures he will be out until at least mid-June. Nabil Crismatt was selected from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take Hurt's place on the 40-man roster. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Justin Steele set to make rehab start this week
    Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Saturday that Justin Steele (hamstring) will make a minor league rehab start this week.

    Advice: Steele continues to progress towards rejoining Chicago’s starting rotation after landing on the injured list back in late March with a left hamstring strain. The 28-year-old southpaw should be ready to return in early-to-mid May. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Sent to minors
    The Dodgers optioned Ramirez to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    Advice: Nick Ramirez has given up one earned run over four innings since being recalled from Triple-A last Saturday, but he will head back to the minors as the Dodgers opt to bring in a fresh arm in Nabil Crismatt. Ramirez owns a 1.29 ERA across seven MLB innings this year and figures to be back with the Dodgers at some point in the near future. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Selected from OKC
    The Dodgers selected Crismatt's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Saturday.

    Advice: Crismatt was designated for assignment after throwing two scoreless innings against the Cardinals in late March, and he'll now return to Los Angeles to give the Dodgers a fresh bullpen arm capable of pitching multiple innings. Nick Ramirez was optioned to Triple-A to clear space on the active roster, and Kyle Hurt (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL to free up a 40-man spot. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Lands on minor-league IL
    Whitley was placed on the minor-league injured list Saturday with right elbow discomfort, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Whitley made his major-league debut with the Astros on April 16, allowing one hit and one walk but no runs over two-thirds of an inning against Atlanta. He was sent back to Triple-A Sugar Land after that outing, and he has thrown two scoreless innings while striking out four over his last two appearances in the minors.

  • Taken off IL
    The Astros removed Valdez (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Saturday, per the MLB transaction log.

    Advice: Valdez is set to start in Sunday's game against the Rockies as part of a two-game series in Mexico City. The 30-year-old southpaw landed on the Astros' 15-day IL on April 9 due to left elbow inflammation. Valdez threw a 40-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, and he will likely be on a pitch count over his first few outings. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago
     
  • Back in lineup
    Jones (back) is starting in left field Saturday against the Astros.

    Advice: Back stiffness caused Jones to exit Tuesday's game early and has kept him sidelined for the Rockies' last two games. Now seemingly healthy, the 25-year-old will look to turn things around at the dish after starting the year with a .469 OPS through 96 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago

  • Returns to lineup Saturday
    Senzel (illness) will serve as the Nationals' designated hitter Saturday against the Marlins.

    Advice: A stomach illness has kept Senzel from playing in Washington's last two games, but the issue appears to have subsided prior to Saturday's contest. The 28-year-old is slashing .200/.259/.440 with two homers across 27 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 11:15 am
