  • Recalled from Triple-A
    Winn was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Winn will return to provide depth to a bullpen that was needed for six innings behind Nathan Eovaldi on Saturday. Jesus Tinoco was designated for assignment to make room for Winn, who has posted a 6.91 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB in 11 appearances (14.1 innings) for the Rangers so far this season.

  • Rangers designate Tinoco for assignment
    Rangers designated RHP Jesus Tinoco for assignment.

    Advice: It clears space on the roster for Cole Winn, with Winn recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding transaction. Tinoco is now off the 40-man roster as well, and is subject to the waiver wire. If he goes unclaimed, the Rangers can stash him in Triple-A if Tinoco doesn’t elect free agency.

  • Opening Sunday's contest
    Miller will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Sunday's game against the Angels, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Miller will draw the opener assignment for the fifth time this season after the Giants had previously listed Kyle Harrison as the starter for Sunday's contest before placing him on the 15-day injured list with an ankle sprain just a few hours before the 4:05 p.m. ET opening pitcher. The left-hander hasn't been tasked with recording more than five outs in any of his previous turns as an opener, so he shouldn't be expected to handle more than two innings before he turns the game over to the bullpen. Spencer Bivens was called up from Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday and could be an option to cover multiple innings behind Miller. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Rangers recall Cole Winn from Triple-A on Sunday
    Rangers recalled RHP Cole Winn from Triple-A Round Rock.

  • Option transferred to Double-A
    The Orioles transferred Stoudt's option from Triple-A Norfolk to Double-A Bowie on Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: After being claimed off waivers by the O's earlier this week, Stoudt was initially assigned to the organization's top minor-league affiliate. However, the team has changed course and he instead will jump down a level and attempt to get right at Double-A after posting ERAs north of 6.00 at Triple-A the past couple years.

  • Cut by Giants
    The Giants released Avila (undisclosed) on Sunday.

    Advice: Avila will cede his spot on the Giants' 40-man roster to right-hander Spencer Bivens, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Sacramento. Rather than designating Avila for assignment and waiting for the waiver process to play out, the Giants will part ways with the 26-year-old right-hander and allow him to get a head start on finding his next organization. Avila had posted an 8.49 ERA and 1.71 WHIP over his 11.2 innings with the Giants this season and hadn't performed much better for Sacramento (6.75 ERA, 1.21 WHIP in 9.1 innings) before landing on the club's 7-day injured list May 31 with an unspecified injury.

  • Shelved with ankle sprain
    The Giants placed Harrison on the 15-day injured list Sunday with a right ankle sprain.

    Advice: Harrison had been scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Angels, but his ankle injury will prompt the Giants to go with an impromptu bullpen day for the series finale, with left-hander Erik Miller serving as the team's opening pitcher. The severity of Harrison's ankle sprain isn't clear, but he'll be eligible to return from the IL as soon as June 28. After getting off to a rough start to the season through his first five outings, Harrison had rebounded with a 2-2 record, 3.40 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 44:17 K:BB in 50.1 innings across his subsequent nine starts.

  • Erik Miller starting for Giants on Sunday
    Erik Miller will start Sunday’s game against the Angels.

    Advice: It will be bullpen games for both the Angels and Giants. Miller is getting the ball with Kyle Harrison (ankle) heading to the injured list. He likely won’t work deep enough to qualify for a win, so there’s no reason to consider him as a streaming option. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago
     
  • Giants place Kyle Harrison on IL with ankle sprain
    Giants placed LHP Kyle Harrison on the 15-day injured list with a right ankle sprain.

    Advice: Harrison was set to start Sunday against the Angels, but the sprained ankle will cause him to miss that start and likely a couple more turns through the rotation. Erik Miller is going to start in place of Harrison on Sunday, and Spencer Bivens had his contract selected from Sacramento to replace the southpaw on the active roster. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
