  • Removed from 40-man roster
    Barnes was designated for assignment by the Nationals on Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Barnes made the team as a non-roster invitee but didn't pitch well, posting a 6.75 ERA and 10:4 K:BB across 13.1 frames. The veteran reliever will likely clear waivers and could decline a potential outright assignment and elect free agency if he wants. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Activated from injured list
    The Nationals activated Garcia (illness) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Garcia was down for a couple weeks with the flu but is ready to roll now after making just one rehab appearance. The 27-year-old has allowed six runs but has struck out 13 over 8.1 relief innings with the Nats this season. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Earns win in long relief
    Ramirez (2-0) walked one and struck out one across three scoreless innings to earn the win Monday against the White Sox.

    Advice: Ramirez followed starter Tyler Alexander into the game in the fifth inning and turned in his second consecutive scoreless appearance. Ramirez has worked primarily in long relief since being recalled to the Rays on April 21, as he's completed at least two frames in four of his six outings. Despite limited strikeout upside -- he has eight punchouts across 11.1 innings of work -- he could be in position to earn more wins than a traditional reliever. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago

He’ll get his first rehab start in Durham since being sidelined and if everything goes to plan, the 30-year-old hurler should be back with Tampa Bay in the next week or so.

  • Mets send Tylor Megill on rehab assignment
    Mets sent RHP Tylor Megill (shoulder) on a rehab assignment to Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: This will be Megill’s third rehab start since being placed on the injured list at the start of April. The 28-year-old recently pitched 2 2/3 innings and allowed one earned run on two hits, while striking out four with Double-A Binghamton. “Arm feels good, body feels good – healthy is the most important part. Overall, yeah I felt good,” Megill said after the Double-A rehab start. If he continues to progress, he should be back with the Mets in the coming weeks. Rotoworld Today, 6:54 am
     
  • Draws start Tuesday
    Vasquez is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

    Advice: As was expected after he was promoted from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday, Vasquez will end up filling the rotation spot vacated by Joe Musgrove (elbow), who was moved to the 15-day injured list. Vasquez has previously made a pair of starts for the Padres this season, covering 7.2 innings between those outings while giving up eight runs (five earned) on 11 hits and three walks.
