  • 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 Today, 9:43 am
     
  • Moved to 60-day IL
    The Astros transferred Javier (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The move was merely a procedural one to free up a 40-man spot. Javier underwent Tommy John surgery earlier this month and will miss extended time, including perhaps all of the 2025 season. Right-handed reliever Luis Contreras was called up from Triple-A Sugar Land and will take Javier's spot on the 40-man roster. Rotowire.com Today, 9:16 am
     
  • Josh Fleming starting Sunday against Rockies
    Josh Fleming is starting Sunday’s game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Fleming was recalled from Triple-A Friday, and after going unused in the first two games, he’ll get the nod against Dakota Hudson and the Rockies. The 28-year-old has not been effective thus far in 2024 with a 5.68 ERA and 1.68 WHIP over 19 innings, and he’s not a recommended streamer for this chance. Rotoworld Today, 9:15 am
     
  • Drawing start Sunday
    Fleming is slated to start Sunday's game against the Rockies at Coors Field, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: Fleming was called up from Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday but went unused out of the bullpen for the first two games of the Pirates' series in Colorado. He'll step into the rotation for the series finale Sunday as Pittsburgh looks to give each of their other starters an additional day of rest, but Fleming will likely head to the bullpen or return to Triple-A immediately after the start. Fleming had worked as a multi-inning reliever for Indianapolis prior to his call-up, covering at least two frames in each of his last four appearances while pitching to a 5.68 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in seven outings overall.

  • Cristian Javier (elbow) moved to 60-day IL
    Astros transferred RHP Cristian Javier from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: It’s a move that creates room on the 40-man roster for Luis Contreras. Javier will miss the remainder of the 2024 season and likely a portion of 2025 while he recovers from Tommy John surgery. Rotoworld Today, 9:02 am
     
  • Added as 27th man
    The Athletics called up Basso from Triple-A Las Vegas to serve as the 27th man for Sunday's doubleheader against the Twins, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Basso will provide depth to the Oakland bullpen, but it will likely be only a one-day stint in the big leagues. The lefty has struggled in the harsh pitching environments of the Pacific Coast League, allowing 18 runs in 21.1 innings since advancing from Double-A Midland earlier this season.

  • Kyle Gibson placed on bereavement list
    Cardinals placed RHP Kyle Gibson on the bereavement list.

    Advice: Gibson will be away from the Cardinals for three days while dealing with things more important than sports. Ryan Loutos is up to take his place on the active roster. Rotoworld Today, 8:17 am
     
  • Atlanta recalls Ynoa, placed him on 60-day IL
    Braves recalled RHP Huascar Ynoa and placed him on the 60-day injured list with a right elbow stress reaction.

    Advice: It’s a procedural move that takes Ynoa off the 40-man roster and gives Atlanta space to select the contract of Grant Holmes. Ynoa’s injury will keep him out through the All-Star break, and there’s a chance he won’t be able to help the staff until 2025. Rotoworld Today, 8:00 am

  • Goes on bereavement leave
    The Cardinals placed Gibson on the bereavement list Sunday.

    Advice: Gibson has left the team following a death in the family. Per MLB rules, players placed on the bereavement list have to be deactivated for a minimum of three days and a maximum of seven days, making it unclear if Gibson will be ready to rejoin the team ahead of his next scheduled start. The Cardinals had confirmed Gibson as their starting pitcher for Wednesday's game in Miami, though that announcement was made prior to his placement on the bereavement list.
