  • Cole Ragans to start on Sunday against Padres
    Cole Ragans will start on Sunday against the Padres.

    Advice: Ragans will take the ball on regular rest for Sunday’s series finale against San Diego with Brady Singer needing some extra rest as he continues to recover from an illness.

  • Activated, called up ahead of start
    Poteet (finger) was activated from the minor-league 7-day injured list and called up to start Saturday's contest versus the Giants.

    Advice: Poteet is officially set to make his second major-league start of the season Saturday, replacing Clarke Schmidt (lat) on the mound for the Yankees. The right-handed Poteet last pitched with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on May 19, allowing three runs over four innings before missing his last outing with a blister. Poteet drew his first start with New York on April 13, tossing six innings of one-run ball while striking out four in a win over the Guardians. It's unclear if the Yankees view Poteet as a long-term replacement for Schmidt, who's expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks, but a strong outing Saturday would certainly make that a possibility.

  • Sent back to Triple-A
    Morris was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following the Yankees' 6-2 win over San Francisco on Friday.

    Advice: Morris was called up Thursday, failing to appear in a contest out of the bullpen before being sent back down to Triple-A. The right-hander will now have to wait for his next chance to join the major-league roster. In a corresponding move, Cody Poteet was recalled from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and will start Saturday's contest versus the Giants. Rotowire.com Today, 10:19 am
     
  • Padres recall Randy Vásquez for Saturday start
    Padres recalled RHP Randy Vásquez from Triple-A El Paso.

    Advice: Vásquez draws the starting assignment for Saturday’s game against the Royals after Joe Musgrove was scratched just a few hours prior to first pitch. The 25-year-old righty has posted an underwhelming 5.82 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 13/4 K/BB ratio across 21 2/3 innings (five starts) this season in his Padres debut. He’s not a recommended streaming option for fantasy managers. Rotoworld Today, 10:14 am
     
  • Called up Saturday
    Little was called up from Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Little will return to the majors after being sent down to Buffalo on May 5. With Jordan Romano (elbow) being placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday, Little will get another shot in Toronto's bullpen. The left-hander has appeared in three games with the Blue Jays this season, allowing four runs on five hits and a walk while striking out four batters over 3.1 innings.

  • Yankees recall Cody Poteet for Saturday start
    Yankees recalled RHP Cody Poteet from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Advice: Poteet draws the starting assignment for Saturday’s showdown against the Giants at Oracle Park. The 29-year-old righty allowed one run over six innings against the Guardians back in mid-April when he made his Yankees debut. He figures to make a couple starts over the next few weeks until Gerrit Cole (elbow) is ready to make his season debut. Rotoworld Today, 10:07 am
     
  • Recalled to start Saturday
    The Padres recalled Vasquez from Triple-A El Paso to start Saturday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Vasquez was optioned to Triple-A in May after posting a 5.82 ERA and 1.75 WHIP across 21.2 innings through his first five starts. His numbers get even worse in the minors (7.45 ERA, 1.88 WHIP), but he will be called upon for another start with the Padres nonetheless. Rotowire.com Today, 10:06 am
