  • Picks up 12th save
    Finnegan struck out one batter during a perfect ninth inning to pick up the save Tuesday against Baltimore.

    Advice: Finnegan has been one of the most reliable closers in the big leagues this season, and he now leads the majors after picking up his 12th save Tuesday. The 32-year-old right-hander owns a 1.76 ERA and 0.85 WHIP, and he's struck out 15 batters across 15.1 innings on the year. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Rangers place Dane Dunning (shoulder) on IL
    According to Rangers manager Bruce Bochy, Dane Dunning is headed to the injured list with a shoulder issue.

    Advice: Wow. Dunning was scheduled to pitch against the Rockies on Friday, but now he’ll be sidelined for at least the next two weeks. The 29-year-old has posted a 4.10 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 43/17 K/BB ratio across 37 1/3 innings this season. Rotoworld 9 minutes ago

  • Bound for IL with shoulder injury
    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that Dunning will be placed on the 15-day injured list with a shoulder issue, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It's not clear at this point how or when Dunning was hurt, nor is his timetable known. With Nathan Eovaldi (groin) also going down recently, the Rangers could need Jose Urena and Jack Leiter to remain in the rotation for a while. Dunning has collected a 4.10 ERA and 43:17 K:BB over 37.1 frames covering seven starts this season. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

  • Set to be recalled
    The Rangers recalled White from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: He'll give the Rangers some potential length out of the bullpen. White has posted a 5.70 ERA and 19:9 K:BB across 23.2 innings covering five starts this season with Triple-A Round Rock. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago

  • Yankees send Tommy Kahnle on rehab assignment
    Yankees sent RHP Tommy Kahnle (shoulder) on a rehab assignment to Single-A Tampa.

    Advice: The 34-year-old will get his first rehab appearance since being placed on the 15-day injured list at the start of the season. Kahnle had his throwing program slowed down at the beginning of April, so he is a bit behind schedule, but he’ll likely need a few rehab stints before he’s back in pinstripes.

  • On track to return Friday
    Royals manager Matt Quatraro said Wednesday that Marsh (elbow) remains on track to return from the 15-day injured list to start Friday versus the Angels, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Marsh was terrific in his lone rehab start with Triple-A Omaha on Sunday, striking out six over four shutout innings. The right-hander threw only 53 pitches in the outing, so he could be limited a bit from a workload perspective against the Angels. Marsh has missed the last couple weeks with a bruised right elbow.

  • Athletics designate Alex Speas for assignment
    Athletics designated RHP Alex Speas for assignment.

    Advice: Speas spent just a month with Oakland after he was traded to the team from the White Sox, but the 26-year-old did not pitch in a game for the Athletics. Speas posted a 2.86 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and an 85/38 K/BB ratio over 56 2/3 frames between Triple-A Round Rock and Double-A Frisco in 2023. Rotoworld Today, 10:04 am

  • Athletics recall Osvaldo Bido from Triple-A
    Athletics recalled RHP Osvaldo Bido from Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: The 28-year-old has posted a solid 2.59 ERA, 1.25 WHIP with a 39/13 K/BB ratio across 31 1/3 innings this season with Las Vegas. He’ll find his way in the bullpen for the Athletics, but he shouldn’t be on fantasy managers’ radar. Rotoworld Today, 10:04 am

  • Exits 40-man roster
    Speas was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Wednesday.

    Advice: He's yielding his spot on the 40-man roster to Easton Lucas. Speas was acquired via trade from the White Sox last month and has held an ugly 12.08 ERA over 11 relief appearances this season with Las Vegas. Rotowire.com Today, 9:49 am
