  • Placed on injured list
    The Reds placed Wilson on the 15-day injured list Friday with left shoulder tightness.

    Advice: Wilson struck out the only batter he faced during Thursday's win over the Dodgers in three pitches, though it seems he is now dealing with shoulder problems following his appearance. With the 36-year-old southpaw sidelined for the next two weeks, Carson Spiers will come up from Triple-A Louisville to fill the open spot on Cincinnati's pitching staff.

  • Reds place Justin Wilson (shoulder) on 15-day IL
    Reds placed LHP Justin Wilson on the 15-day injured list with left shoulder tightness.

    Advice: The 36-year-old southpaw has seen plenty of action out of the Reds’ bullpen this season, posting an underwhelming 5.91 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 14/2 K/BB ratio over 10 2/3 innings in his 16 appearances. It’s not yet clear how long he’s expected to be shelved for. Carson Spiers was recalled from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move to replace Wilson in the Reds’ bullpen.

  • Undergoes procedure on elbow
    Miller received a hydrodissection procedure for his right ulnar nerve in his elbow earlier in the week, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.

    Advice: The procedure was to help with the inflammation surrounding the nerve in Miller's right elbow. He started the season strong with five scoreless outings, but he has taken the loss in two of his last four appearances, giving up five runs on four hits and three walks while striking out two across three innings over that span. Miller was placed on the 15-day IL on Monday, and he is eligible to return in late May. Rotowire.com Today, 4:40 pm

Ramirez has appeared in six major-league games this season, registering a 3.86 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 9.1 frames. The Dodgers recalled right-hander Ricky Vanasco in a corresponding move.

  • Recalled by Los Angeles
    The Dodgers recalled Vanasco from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday.

    Advice: Vanasco made his major-league debut April 15 against the Nationals, throwing two scoreless innings while striking out one batter. He was optioned to Triple-A the next day, and he has not yielded an earned run over his last four bullpen outings with Oklahoma City. To make room for Vanasco, the Dodgers optioned southpaw Nick Ramirez to Triple-A Oklahoma City. Rotowire.com Today, 4:12 pm
     
  • Dodgers option Nick Ramirez back to Triple-A
    Dodgers optioned LHP Nick Ramirez to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: The left-hander lasted just one day on the big league roster this time around, giving up three runs on five hits and a pair of walks over 2 1/3 innings against the Reds on Thursday. Ricky Vanasco was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move on Friday to replace him in the Dodgers’ bullpen. Rotoworld Today, 4:03 pm
     
  • Dodgers recall Ricky Vanasco from Triple-A OKC
    Dodgers recalled RHP Ricky Vanasco from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: After a bullpen game from the Dodgers on Thursday night, the team wanted to add a fresh arm to their bullpen mix on Friday and Vanasco was the choice. The 25-year-old hurler has retired all six batters that he has faced with the Dodgers this season across two perfect innings. He’ll function in middle relief. Rotoworld Today, 4:01 pm
     
  • Faces hitters
    Bachman (shoulder) threw live batting practice Friday, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Bachman began throwing off a mound May 7, and Friday marks another major step in his recovery from offseason shoulder surgery. The 24-year-old righty will almost certainly require a lengthy rehab assignment before the Angels think about adding him to their rotation, though the team has not yet specified when his assignment will start.

  • Astros option Shawn Dubin to Triple-A on Friday
    Astros optioned RHP Shawn Dubin to Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: The 28-year-old hurler took one for the team on Thursday night, saving a depleted bullpen by working the final three innings against the Athletics and recording his first career save. That means he wasn’t going to be available for a few days though, which means he gets sent out so the Astros can bring in a fresh arm. Dubin holds a 6.59 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and a 13/7 K/BB ratio over 13 2/3 innings with the Astros on the season. Rotoworld Today, 3:05 pm
