  • Claimed by Phillies
    The Phillies claimed Tarnok (hip) off waivers from Oakland on Saturday, reinstated him from the 60-day injured list, and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    Advice: Tarnok has been on the injured list all season while recovering from a hip procedure he underwent in August. He began a rehab assignment in Triple-A on May 8, allowing 11 earned runs in just 7.1 innings. He'll remain in Triple-A upon making a full recovery and shifting to a new organization, though a drastic turnaround would likely be necessary before Tarnok spends any time in the Phillies' bullpen. Dylan Covey (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 11:39 am

  • Back with Friars
    The Padres recalled Gillaspie from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

    Advice: With Yu Darvish (groin) and Joe Musgrove (elbow) both headed for the injured list, Gillaspie and Randy Vasquez will come up from the minors to fill the openings in San Diego's pitching staff. Gillaspie has appeared in two games for the Padres this year, throwing 2.2 shutout innings, but he has posted a 5.17 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through 15.2 frames in Triple-A. He will likely be limited to low-leverage situations while with the big-league club. Rotowire.com Today, 11:29 am
     
  • Padres recall Logan Gillaspie on Saturday
    Padres recalled RHP Logan Gillaspie from Triple-A El Paso.

    Advice: Gillaspie provides San Diego with some extra bullpen depth with Yu Darvish (groin) and Joe Musgrove (triceps) landing on the shelf ahead of Saturday’s game against the the Royals. The 27-year-old righty has made a pair of scoreless relief appearances this season for the Padres. Rotoworld Today, 11:27 am
     
  • Lands on injured list
    The Padres placed Darvish on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left groin strain.

    Advice: Darvish had to make an early exit from his start Wednesday against Miami due to hamstring problems, but the issue appears to instead be groin-related. His move to the IL is backdated to Thursday, allowing him to be eligible to return June 14. He will be joined by fellow starter Joe Musgrove (elbow) on the injured list while Randy Vasquez and Logan Gillaspie come up from Triple-A El Paso to take their places.

  • Padres put Yu Darvish on IL with left groin strain
    Padres placed RHP Yu Darvish on the 15-day injured list with a left groin strain.

    Advice: Darvish was originally believed to be dealing with a hamstring issue, but it turns out to be a groin strain that will keep him sidelined for at least a few weeks. The 37-year-old righty lasted just three innings on Wednesday against the Marlins before exiting due to hamstring tightness and holds a solid 3.20 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 53/15 K/BB ratio over 56 1/3 innings (11 starts) this season. There should be a clearer timetable for his return at some point in the coming days. Rotoworld Today, 11:25 am
