    The Marlins recalled Munoz from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday to start against the Guardians.

    Advice: The 24-year-old righty will come up from the minors to fill the open rotation spot created by Sixto Sanchez's (shoulder) move to the injured list. Munoz has started three games for the Marlins already this year, posting a 5.17 ERA and 1.21 WHIP alongside a 19:7 K:BB through 15.2 innings. Until he is able to turn in consistent success in the majors, he is not a recommended fantasy option. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Placed on IL
    The Marlins placed Weathers on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left index finger strain.

    Advice: Weathers' finger caused him to be pulled from his start Friday midway through the third inning. He'll now miss several starts as he heads to the IL, though the team has not yet offered any sort of return timeline for the 24-year-old lefty. Roddery Munoz was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move and will start Saturday versus Cleveland, though it's not immediately apparent who will fill the new opening in the Marlins' rotation.

  • Marlins recall Roddery Muñoz for Saturday start
    Marlins recalled RHP Roddery Muñoz from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Muñoz gets the call back to the majors in place of an injured Ryan Weathers (finger) and will take the ball for Saturday’s contest against the Guardians. The 24-year-old righty holds an underwhelming 5.17 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 19/7 K/BB ratio across 15 2/3 innings (three starts) this season in the majors and isn’t a recommended option for fantasy managers at the moment.

  • Ryan Weathers lands on IL with finger sprain
    Marlins placed LHP Ryan Weathers on the 15-day injured list with a left index finger sprain.

    Advice: Weathers winds up hitting the injured list after being lifted from Friday’s start against the Guardians with left index finger soreness. The 24-year-old southpaw, who has compiled a solid 3.55 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 67/20 K/BB ratio across 71 innings (13 starts) this season, is going to wind up missing at least a few weeks, even in a best-case scenario. There should be an official timeline from the club at some point in the near future. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
     
  • Robert Gasser heading for third opinion on elbow
    Robert Gasser will get a third opinion on his left elbow in the coming days.

    Advice: Gasser will visit specialist Dr. Keith Meister in the cominf days after a second opinion on his left elbow revealed durability issues with his UCL. It doesn’t sound like the 25-year-old rookie southpaw is dealing with a tear or serious damage, but there’s enough of an issue that it might be worth undergoing surgery now instead of the rest and rehabilitation route. There should finally be some clarity on his status at some point in the next week or so. Rotoworld Today, 12:02 pm
     
  • Goes four frames in rehab start
    Miller (shoulder) tossed four-plus innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out two batters.

    Advice: This was Miller's third minor-league rehab appearance, and he's gradually worked up from three frames in his first rehab outing to four innings Friday. The righty hurler wasn't at his sharpest, but he approached a full workload with 85 pitches and sat at 97-98 mph with his fastball, per Eric Stephen of SBNation.com, after experiencing reduced velocity in his prior outing. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said prior to Miller's outing Friday that it could be the pitcher's final minor-league appearance before returning to the big club, per Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic, but a decision on Miller's next step has not yet been announced. He's struggled throughout his rehab stint, collecting a 6.97ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB across 10.1 frames. Rotowire.com Today, 11:40 am
     
  • Dean Kremer (triceps) might skip rehab assignment
    Dean Kremer (triceps) will throw a bullpen session this week.

    Advice: Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters Kremer is trending in the right direction and they’ll wait until after his next throwing session before determining whether he’ll require a minor league rehab assignment. The 28-year-old righty hit the injured list back in late May with a triceps strain. Rotoworld Today, 11:22 am
     
  • Steven Matz to make rehab start Tuesday at Double-A
    Steven Matz (back) will make another minor league rehab start on Tuesday for Double-A Springfield.

    Advice: Matz struck out two over a pair of scoreless frames on Thursday in his rehab assignment debut for Triple-A Memphis and will continue building up his pitch count and stamina this upcoming week in the minors. The 33-year-old lefty has been out since mid-May recovering from a back injury. Rotoworld Today, 11:15 am

  • Mike Clevinger throws bullpen session on Saturday
    Mike Clevinger (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Saturday.

    Advice: Clevinger is expected to make at least one minor league rehab start before returning to Chicago’s starting rotation, but that plan could always wind up changing. He landed on the injured list last week with right elbow inflammation. Rotoworld Today, 10:59 am
