  • Sent back to minors
    The Blue Jays optioned Barger to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Barger struggled during his first stint in the big leagues, going just 1-for-18 with a 6:0 K:BB. He'll go back to playing every day with Buffalo while Nathan Lukes takes his spot on Toronto's roster. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

  • Joins big club
    The Blue Jays recalled Lukes from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday.

    Advice: The 29-year-old missed out on Toronto's Opening Day roster but will join the big-league club a month into the season. Lukes had a .284/.348/.432 slash line through 20 games for Buffalo this season and will provide outfield depth with Kevin Kiermaier (hip) on the injured list. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Back from injury
    DeLuca (hand) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list on Friday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: DeLuca has missed the entirety of the 2024 season after fracturing his right hand on a hit-by-pitch in spring training but after a six-game rehab stint at Triple-A Durham, DeLuca will join the big league roster. The 25-year-old batted .300 in 25 plate appearances and walked four times to one strikeout with Durham. He could see action immediately, with Josh Lowe (hamstring) currently on a rehab assignment.

  • Sent down to Durham
    Pinto was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Pinto will get an opportunity to re-find his swing at Triple-A after going 2-for-16 (.125) in his last eight games. Alex Jackson was called up in a corresponding move to act as the Rays' secondary catcher. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Sent to Triple-A
    The Rays optioned Goodrum to Triple-A Durham on Friday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Goodrum was called up by Tampa Bay on April 12, but he appeared in just nine games and went 3-for-16 with a walk and six strikeouts. The 32-year-old could rejoin the Rays later in the campaign if/when the club requires infield depth. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Rockies recall Angel Chivilli
    Rockies recalled RHP Angel Chivilli from Double-A Hartford.

    Advice: Chivilli could get his first opportunity to pitch in the major leagues in the coming days. The 21-year-old has a 2.35 ERA across 7 2/3 innings at the Double-A level, but is likely to head back to the minors after Justin Lawrence returns from his paternity leave.

  • Phillies place Yunior Marte (shoulder) on 15-day IL
    Phillies placed RHP Yunior Marte on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 1, with right shoulder inflammation.

    Advice: From a fantasy perspective, this isn’t major news for managers, but it’s a tough blow for Marte who was having a decent start to the season .The 29-year-old has pitched in 13 1/3 innings for the Phillies and has a solid 2.70 ERA with a 12/5 K/BB ratio. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
     
  • Spotted at PNC Park
    Grandal (foot) joined the Pirates at PNC Park on Friday, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Advice: Grandal has not yet been activated from the injured list, but that seems likely to happen prior to Friday's game against the Rockies. The veteran catcher missed the first month-plus of the season due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot but has played nine rehab games with Triple-A Indianapolis, posting a .716 OPS with one home run. Pittsburgh could send the struggling Henry Davis down to make room on the active roster for Grandal. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
     
  • Chance for saves this weekend
    Mears could be in the mix for save opportunities this weekend against the Pirates after the Rockies placed closer Justin Lawrence on the paternity list Friday.

    Advice: Mears was an effective high-leverage option through the first few weeks of the season with a 2.08 ERA and three holds in nine outings, but he's surrendered six runs over his past four appearances. Jake Bird should also be on the shortlist for saves, but neither pitcher provides much fantasy upside. The Rockies have only three saves as a team this season, and Lawrence should rejoin the club early next week. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
