  • Claimed by Phillies
    The Phillies claimed Tarnok (hip) off waivers from Oakland on Saturday, reinstated him from the 60-day injured list, and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    Advice: Tarnok has been on the injured list all season while recovering from a hip procedure he underwent in August. He began a rehab assignment in Triple-A on May 8, allowing 11 earned runs in just 7.1 innings. He'll remain in Triple-A upon making a full recovery and shifting to a new organization, though a drastic turnaround would likely be necessary before Tarnok spends any time in the Phillies' bullpen. Dylan Covey (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago

  • Back with Friars
    The Padres recalled Gillaspie from Triple-A El Paso on Saturday.

    Advice: With Yu Darvish (groin) and Joe Musgrove (elbow) both headed for the injured list, Gillaspie and Randy Vasquez will come up from the minors to fill the openings in San Diego's pitching staff. Gillaspie has appeared in two games for the Padres this year, throwing 2.2 shutout innings, but he has posted a 5.17 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through 15.2 frames in Triple-A. He will likely be limited to low-leverage situations while with the big-league club. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago

The 27-year-old righty has made a pair of scoreless relief appearances this season for the Padres. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago

  • Andrew Vaughn dealing with sprained left finger
    Andrew Vaughn is not in Saturday’s lineup due to a sprained left ring finger.

    Advice: Vaughn will miss his second straight contest on Saturday due to an injury that he suffered earlier this week while sliding into third base. The hope is that he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list and be ready to return to Chicago’s lineup at some point early next week. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.
