  • Rockies outright Matt Koch to Triple-A
    Rockies sent RHP Matt Koch outright to Triple-A Albuquerque.

    Advice: Koch unsurprisingly went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week by Colorado. The 33-year-old righty could wind up electing free agency, but will likely stick around as extra organizational depth. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:06 pm

  • Returns from COVID-19 IL
    The Yankees reinstated Hamilton from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Hamilton landed on the IL on May 20, and he'll now return to the Yankees' bullpen after being out of action for one day more than the seven-day minimum. The 28-year-old sports a 3.18 ERA through 22.2 innings this season, and he figures to slide right back into a high-leverage role now that he's healthy. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:52 pm
     
  • Yankees activate Ian Hamilton on Tuesday
    Yankees activated RHP Ian Hamilton from the COVID-19 injured list.

    Advice: Hamilton rejoins New York’s bullpen for Tuesday’s series opener against the Angels following a one-week absence on the COVID-19 injured list. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:36 pm
     
  • Sitting out nightcap
    Ohtani isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against the Mets, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

    Advice: The Dodgers were planning on giving Ohtani the evening off heading into Tuesday's twin bill, so he'll sit in the dugout after an 0-for-5 performance during Game 1. Will Smith will instead serve as Los Angeles' designated hitter, allowing Austin Barnes to start behind the plate. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:16 pm
     
  • Making another rehab start
    Wicks (forearm) is starting for Triple-A Iowa on Tuesday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Wicks will make his second rehab appearance at Triple-A Iowa after going two scoreless innings with three strikeouts Friday. He's still in the process of getting stretched out, so it's expected Wicks will need a couple more rehab starts before being activated. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:53 pm
     
  • Getting another turn in rotation
    Spence will start Tuesday's game against the Rays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Spence will make a third consecutive start for the A's after opening the season as a long reliever. Spence has lasted 4.2 innings and 3.0 innings across his first two starts, yielding three runs and striking out eight over that stretch. He's thrown 77 and 70 pitches during those two outings, respectively, and shouldn't be a viable fantasy option in most formats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:44 am
     
  • Ohtani won’t play second game of doubleheader
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Ohtani won’t start the second game of the doubleheader Tuesday against the Mets.

    Advice: Ohtani will get a rare day off in the second game of the twin-billing. With the 29-year-old superstar out, the Dodgers will have Will Smith as the designated hitter and Austin Barnes will get the start behind the plate. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:19 am
     
  • Makes two-inning rehab start
    Wicks (forearm) struck out three and gave up two hits and no walks over two scoreless innings in his rehab start Friday with Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Wicks threw 33 pitches (22 strikes) in the outing. The Cubs haven't announced the next step for Wicks following Friday's appearance, but he'll presumably need at least one more rehab start to get stretched out some more before Chicago is comfortable bringing him back from the 15-day injured list and inserting him into the rotation. Ben Brown is currently filling in for Wicks as the Cubs' No. 5 starter, with his second turn through the rotation set to come Tuesday in Milwaukee. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:19 am
     
  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    Koch cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Albuquerque by the Rockies on Monday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: He's no longer on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization. Koch has allowed four runs (three earned) while recording just one out covering two appearances with the Rockies this season. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:21 pm
