  • Rangers place Nathan Eovaldi (groin) on 15-day IL
    Rangers placed RHP Nathan Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list with a right groin strain.

    Advice: Eovaldi suffered the injury while twirling a gem against the Nationals on Thursday afternoon. The Rangers have not yet commented on how long they expect the 34-year-old right-hander to be sidelined for. Yerry Rodriguez was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to take his place on the roster for the time being. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Guardians recall Peter Strzelecki from Triple-A
    Guardians recalled RHP Peter Strzelecki from Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: The 29-year-old right-hander will replace Tyler Beede in the Guardians’ bullpen. Strzelecki has already made two appearances for the Guardians this season, firing two scoreless frames with a 0.50 WHIP and a 1/0 K/BB ratio. Expect him to be utilized in a middle relief role.

  • Guardians designate Tyler Beede for assignment
    Guardians designated RHP Tyler Beede for assignment.

    Advice: The 30-year-old right-hander seemingly pitched himself out of a job on Thursday night, giving up five runs on three hits and a pair of walks while recording only one out against the Astros. Overall, he posted an 8.36 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and an 18/9 K/BB ratio over 14 innings with the Guardians. There’s a chance that another club could take a shot at him on waivers.

  • Nails down second save
    Megill earned the save Friday in a 3-1 win over the Cubs, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

    Advice: Megill's appeared in the Brewers' last two save chances -- he set down the four, five and six batters in the Cubs' order Friday after Joel Payamps faced the top of the lineup in the eighth. Megill and Payamps both figure to see their share of ninth-inning work with Devin Williams (back) likely out until the All-Star break. The 30-year-old Megill lowered his ERA to 1.17 with a 0.91 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB through his first 7.2 innings this season. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • Potential option for Sunday
    Manoah (shoulder) is throwing a side session Friday and is an option to start Sunday against the Nationals, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Toronto has yet to name a starter for Sunday's contest, and it could be Manoah if he checks out okay after Friday's throwing session. The right-hander was electric in his last rehab start Tuesday with 12 strikeouts and one run allowed over six scoreless innings, and the Blue Jays need to fill out their rotation in the wake of Yariel Rodriguez's back injury.

  • Begins assignment Friday
    Gonzalez (wrist) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: After a slower-than-expected recovery from a left wrist sprain, Gonzalez will now begin the final step of his rehab process. The Red Sox haven't specified exactly how long they plan on keeping the 27-year-old infielder in the minors, but he shouldn't require too long of an assignment if everything goes smoothly.
