  • Earns win Saturday
    Faedo (2-1) tossed two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win Saturday against the Royals.

    Advice: After starter Casey Mize allowed three runs (two earned) over five innings, Faedo worked the sixth and seventh, and he continued to pitch well. The righty has a strong 2.55 ERA across 17.2 innings this season, and he's emerged as a capable long reliever for the Tigers. The role limits Faedo's upside, though he may be able to earn a few more wins here and there. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Struggles in relief Saturday
    Little allowed five runs on three hits and a walk while retiring just two batters in Saturday's 17-0 loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Chicago starter Ben Brown allowed three runs over just 3.2 innings, then gave way to Little, who struggled mightily. The lefty's era went from 2.16 to 7.00 in the process, and it may take Little some time to get that figure back into a more acceptable range. He's not a great fantasy target at the moment due to his middle-relief role. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Moves off 40-man roster
    The White Sox designated Garcia for assignment Sunday.

    Advice: Garcia will cede his spot in the White Sox bullpen and on the 40-man roster to right-hander Brad Keller, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. Over his 14 relief appearances for the White Sox this season, Garcia picked up one win and one save, but his ratios (7.07 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 15:11 K:BB) left much to be desired.

  • Takes extra-inning loss
    Rogers (0-1) took the extra-inning loss Saturday versus the Pirates, allowing three runs (two earned) on two hits while striking out two over one inning.

    Advice: Rogers gave up back-to-back home runs to Bryan Reynolds and Ke'Bryan Hayes in the 10th inning. Jorge Soler got two of those runs back in the bottom half of the frame, but the Giants couldn't come up with consecutive walk-off wins. Rogers hadn't given up a run over his previous six outings before Saturday. He's at a 4.32 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB through 8.1 innings this season, and he's added two holds but remains unlikely to challenge Camilo Doval for save chances. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Moves up from Triple-A
    The White Sox recalled Berroa from Triple-A Charlotte on Sunday.

    Advice: Armed with an upper-90s fastball and a plus slider, Berroa has the makeup of a potential closer for the White Sox down the road, but he's likely to settle into a lower-leverage role initially while joining the big club for the first time this season. After contending with shoulder problems in spring training before falling short in his bid for a spot in the White Sox's Opening Day bullpen, Berroa struggled at Charlotte early in the season but seems to have found his footing of late. Over his last seven appearances prior to his call-up, Berroa struck out eight over seven scoreless innings, though he did give up five hits and six walks. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Hit hard in loss
    Stratton (2-2) allowed five runs on four hits and a walk while striking out one over one inning to take the loss versus the Tigers on Saturday.

    Advice: Stratton had his worst outing of the season, as the Tigers rallied against him in the seventh inning. He's allowed multiple runs in three of his 12 appearances, but he's maintained scoreless efforts in the other nine. Saturday's poor showing skewed his ratios to a 6.23 ERA and 1.54 WHIP, while his 11:10 K:BB over 13 innings is far from an encouraging sign. Stratton has a save, two holds and a blown save, and it's unlikely one bad appearance will cost him late-inning looks in the long run. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • David Peterson (hip) starting rehab assignment Sunday
    David Peterson (hip) will begin a rehab assignment with Low-A St. Lucie on Sunday.

    Advice: Peterson is currently on the 60-day injured list due to a torn labrum in his left hip. The left-hander will likely make four rehab starts to rebuild his arm strength, but if all goes well, he could be a rotation option for the Mets at the end of May or the start of June.

  • Picks up win
    Slaten (2-0) earned the win over the Cubs on Saturday, striking out two over two scoreless innings.

    Advice: The Red Sox pieced together a bullpen day, opening up an opportunity for Slaten to pick up his second win of the season. The Rule 5 selection has been a find for Boston with one run allowed and two walks over 16.1 innings. Slaten has thrown at least two innings in seven of nine outings.

  • White Sox recall Prelander Berroa from Triple-A
    White Sox recalled RHP Prelander Berroa from Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: Berroa was acquired in the trade that sent Gregory Santos to the Mariners. The 24-year-old was not particularly effective in Triple-A with an 8.74 ERA, but the rebuilding (and then some) White Sox will give the right-hander a chance to work out of the bullpen. He has some long-term potential if he can figure out the whole throwing strikes thing. Rotoworld Today, 8:18 am
