  • Sent out on rehab assignment
    Sandlin (back) has been sent to Triple-A Columbus to begin a rehab assignment.

    Advice: Sandlin went on the 15-day injured list two weeks ago with lower-back inflammation but is ready to test things out in a game setting. Since he hasn't missed much time, Sandlin shouldn't require too many rehab outings before being activated. Rotowire.com Today, 7:45 am

  • Removed from 40-man roster
    The Brewers designated Clarke for assignment Wednesday.

    Advice: The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Aaron Civale, who was acquired via trade. Clarke missed the beginning of the season while recovering from knee surgery, and has posted a 5.34 ERA and 26:7 K:BB over 30.1 innings with Triple-A Nashville. Rotowire.com Today, 7:38 am
     
  • Brewers designate RHP Taylor Clarke for assignment
    Brewers designated RHP Taylor Clarke for assignment.

    Advice: Milwaukee had to kick someone off the 40-man roster to make room for the newly acquired Aaron Civale. Clarke was yet to appear in the majors this season and had a 5.34 ERA in 10 games with Triple-A Nashville. The Brewers have seven days to trade Clarke or place him on waivers.

  • Rare regular-rest start Sunday
    Lopez will start on regular rest Sunday versus the Phillies for just the second time this season, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Lopez struggled in his last start Tuesday versus the Giants, allowing just two runs but walking four over five inefficient innings. Atlanta has baked in extra rest for Lopez whenever it can during the first half as the right-hander shifts from reliever to starter, but he'll take the ball on normal rest against the division-rival Phillies this weekend. With 79.1 innings in 2024, Lopez has already exceeded his workload from each of the previous two seasons. Rotowire.com Today, 7:18 am
     
  • Secures 13th save
    Duran struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 13th save of the season in a 5-3 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: After missing the first month of the season with an oblique strain, Duran has had a little trouble finding his usual form, but he may be coming around. The right-hander has been scored upon only once in his last 11 appearances, posting a 1.64 ERA, 0.55 WHIP and 9:2 K:BB through 11 innings over that stretch while collecting three wins, three saves and a hold.

  • Fades in no-decision
    Woods Richardson came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Tigers, giving up three runs on four hits and two walks over 5.2 innings. He struck out four.

    Advice: After cruising through four scoreless innings, the right-hander began to run out of gas in the fifth, serving up a solo shot to Justyn-Henry Malloy and a two-run blast to Ryan Kreidler that briefly gave Detroit a 3-2 lead. Woods Richardson was eventually lifted after 94 pitches (61 strikes), falling just short of his fifth quality start of the season. He'll carry a 3.52 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 60:21 K:BB through 71.2 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home this weekend against the Astros. Rotowire.com Today, 5:47 am
     
  • Bickford clears waivers, assigned to Triple-A
    Yankees assigned RHP Phil Bickford to Triple-A Scranton Wilkes/Barre.

    Advice: Bickford cleared waivers and elected to report to Triple-A rather than hit free agency. He allowed nine runs (eight earned) in five innings with the Yankees (14.40 ERA). Bickford has a 2.93 ERA in 22 Triple-A appearances this year. He would need to be added back to the 40-man roster before the Yankees could call on him again as bullpen depth. Rotoworld Today, 5:46 am
