  • Sent back to minors
    The Brewers optioned Junk to Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Advice: Junk was roughed up for five runs on 13 hits and one walk over five relief innings in his three relief appearances with the Brewers. He had been mostly starting at Nashville prior to the promotion and could re-enter the Triple-A club's rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 2:27 pm
     
  • Called up by Milwaukee
    The Brewers selected Herget's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Advice: Right-hander Janson Junk was optioned to Nashville to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Herget. The 33-year-old right-hander made 10 appearances for Nashville prior to his call-up, delivering a 3.46 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 13 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 2:26 pm
     
  • Move to bullpen confirmed
    Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Monday that Brown will be available out of the bullpen for the team's three-game series against the Padres, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Brown could rejoin the Chicago rotation at some point down the road, but for now, he'll shift to the bullpen with Justin Steele (hamstring) returning from the injured list to start Monday's series opener. The Cubs will keep Hayden Wesneski in the rotation over Brown as their No. 5 starter until Kyle Hendricks (back) returns from the IL. Rotowire.com Today, 2:25 pm
     
  • Dispatched to Triple-A
    The Cubs optioned Thompson to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Thompson has pitched well overall out of the Cubs bullpen this season, but he was roughed up in his last two appearances while yielding seven runs (four earned) and recording just three outs. He's being sent out to make room on the active roster for lefty Justin Steele (hamstring), who was reinstated from the injured list ahead of his scheduled start Monday versus the Padres.

  • Activated ahead of Monday's start
    The Cubs activated Steele (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Monday against the Padres at Wrigley Field.

    Advice: Steele will rejoin the rotation Monday after being sidelined since straining his left hamstring Opening Day. The left-hander threw just 63 pitches in his lone rehab outing, so he'll likely have his workload curtailed Monday to some degree. Rotowire.com Today, 2:19 pm
     
  • Summoned from Triple-A
    The Athletics recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

    Advice: Oakland placed right-handed starter Joe Boyle (back) on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move, but Harris won't necessarily replace him in the rotation. Instead, the Athletics may just be bringing Harris aboard to provide some length out of the bullpen, even though the lefty has worked exclusively as a starter at Las Vegas this season. Over his six starts at Triple-A spanning 21 innings, Harris has provided a 9.00 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 21:20 K:BB. Rotowire.com Today, 2:16 pm
     
  • Moved to IL
    The Athletics placed Boyle on the 15-day IL on Monday due to a lower-back strain.

    Advice: Boyle's move to the IL comes one day after he struggled in his start against the Marlins on Sunday, when he allowed four runs on one hit and three walks over one inning en route to taking his fifth loss of the season. According to MLB.com, Boyle initially attempted to pitch through back pain in the start, but the issue "got progressively worse" as the game went along. Mitch Spence covered 4.2 innings out of the bullpen and could be a candidate to enter the rotation when Boyle's next turn comes up this weekend in Seattle. Rotowire.com Today, 2:11 pm

  • Keegan Thompson optioned to Triple-A by Cubs
    Cubs optioned RHP Keegan Thompson to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: It’s Thompson and not Ben Brown who gets booted from the roster with Justin Steele (hamstring) coming off the injured list, and Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribute notes Brown will work out of the bullpen. Thompson will head back to Triple-A and likely be up-and-down throughout the 2024 campaign. Rotoworld Today, 2:09 pm
     
  • Athletics recall Hogan Harris from Las Vegas
    Athletics recalled LHP Hogan Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: Harris, 27, has made six starts with the Aviators with an abhorrent 9.00 ERA and 1.95 WHIP. He takes the place of Joe Boyle after Boyle was placed on the injured list with a back injury, and while he could make starts, there’s no logical reason for adding Harris to a fantasy roster.
