  • 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 18 minutes ago

  • Takes loss Tuesday
    Avila (0-1) allowed a run on three hits and two walks while striking out four over three innings to take the loss Tuesday versus the Tigers.

    Advice: Guardians starter Logan Allen was pulled in the third inning after allowing a tying run that knotted the game at 7-7. Avila was better in a longer relief appearance, but he was tagged with the loss due to a lack of offense from Cleveland after that point. Avila has pitched to a 6.11 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 20:8 K:BB over 17.2 innings across eight appearances between Cleveland and San Diego this season. His ERA is 3.72 across four outings with the Guardians, but it's still possible Avila loses his place on the 26-man roster once Eli Morgan (shoulder) completes a rehab assignment.

  • Sent down to minors
    The Athletics optioned Harris to Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

    Advice: Harris was up with the big club for only a couple days, allowing four runs over 5.1 innings in an extended relief appearance Tuesday versus the Rangers. He should slide back into Las Vegas' rotation. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago

  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Athletics recalled Bido from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

    Advice: Bido will start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Rangers. The right-hander boasts a 2.59 ERA and 39:13 K:BB across 31.1 innings with Las Vegas this season. With Joe Boyle (back) sidelined, Bido could stick around for a while. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

  • Dropped from 40-man roster
    The Rangers designated Ingram for assignment Wednesday.

    Advice: Ingram was cast off the 40-man roster after the Rangers needed to open up a spot for outfielder/designated hitter Robbie Grossman, whom the team acquired from the White Sox on Wednesday. After being claimed off waivers from the Mets on April 24, Ingram didn't make any appearances for Texas, as he had been pitching in relief at Triple-A Round Rock. He'll remain in the organization and stick around with Round Rock if he clears waivers. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • Starting rehab assignment
    Kahnle (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Tampa on Wednesday.

    Advice: Kahnle has been out all season with a right shoulder issue that has been dogging him since last season. Because he's missed so much time, it seems likely that he will be asked to make a handful of rehab appearances before the Yankees consider sticking him back in their bullpen.

  • Hopes to be available Wednesday
    The Blue Jays hope Garcia (back) will be available to pitch Wednesday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Garcia's last appearance came all the way back on April 28 as he deals with a nagging back issue. He's apparently feeling better, though, and as long as he checks out well during a pregame throwing session he is expected to be available out of the bullpen Wednesday. Garcia has been one of the best relievers in baseball this season, allowing just one run with a 16:3 K:BB over 13.1 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 8:53 am
     
  • Nabs ninth save
    Iglesias struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his ninth save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: The right-hander topped out at 97.1 mph as he bounced back from a blown save in his last appearance Friday. Iglesias hasn't been as dominant as usual to begin the season, managing a 10:3 K:BB through 14.1 innings, but his 1.88 ERA and 0.98 WHIP have been stellar. With his velocity finally getting back to normal as the weather warms up, more strikeouts could soon follow. Rotowire.com Today, 8:32 am
     
  • Battles control in no-decision
    Lopez came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Red Sox, allowing two runs (one earned) on six hits and four walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

    Advice: The four free passes were a season high for Lopez, who tossed 54 of 91 pitches for strikes before exiting. The right-hander has failed to last six innings in either of his last two outings after beginning the season with four straight quality starts, but he still sports a 1.53 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 36:14 K:BB through 35.1 innings. He'll look to tighten things up in his next start, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Cubs. Rotowire.com Today, 8:28 am
