  • Yariel Rodríguez goes two innings Friday at AAA
    Yariel Rodríguez (back) allowed one run over two innings on Friday in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: Rodríguez allowed two hits, issued one walk and also notched one strikeout, needing 43 pitches (25 strikes) to complete two frames. The 27-year-old righty has made a couple rehab appearances so far as he works his way back to Toronto and figures to operate in a multi-inning relief role upon returning.

  • Rockies re-sign John Curtiss to minor league pact
    Rockies re-signed RHP John Curtiss to a minor league contract.

    Advice: Curtiss is back in the fold with Colorado just a few days after electing free agency following his removal from the club’s 40-man roster. The 31-year-old righty returns to Triple-A Albuquerque as emergency relief depth. Rotoworld Today, 4:22 am
     
  • Marlins outright Eli Villalobos to Triple-A
    Marlins sent RHP Eli Villalobos outright to Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Villalobos passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment earlier this week. The 26-year-old righty has been removed from Miami’s 40-man roster, but will remain with the organization as extra relief depth. Rotoworld Today, 4:21 am
     
  • Royals option Daniel Lynch IV to Triple-A
    Royals optioned LHP Daniel Lynch IV to Triple-A Omaha.

    Advice: Lynch surrendered three runs (two earned) over five innings on Thursday in an emergency spot start in place of Brady Singer, who was unavailable due to illness. The 27-year-old lefty will head back to the minors until another opportunity opens up. Rotoworld Today, 4:19 am
     
  • A’s put Lucas Erceg (forearm) on 15-day IL
    Athletics placed RHP Lucas Erceg on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain.

    Advice: Erceg is dealing with a mild forearm strain, according to Athletics manager Mark Kotsay, which seems to indicate that he’s not facing an extended absence. The 29-year-old righty has been a revelation this season in a set-up role ahead of flame-throwing stopper Mason Miller, posting a 2.86 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 27/8 K/BB ratio across 22 innings (21 appearances).

  • Grabs four-out save
    Beeks struck out two over 1.1 perfect innings to earn the save in Friday's 4-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Advice: Beeks faced runners on the corners with two outs in the eighth inning after relieving Victor Vodnik, and he was able to strike out Freddie Freeman. Beeks stayed in for the ninth and kept his line clean to earn his second save in three outings. He allowed a run in four straight appearances from May 22-27, allowing Tyler Kinley to work his way into the closer conversation, but Beeks is still in the mix as well. He leads the Rockies with six saves and has added a 2.93 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 23:13 K:BB over 27.2 innings this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:18 pm
     
  • Jalen Beeks gets sixth save against Dodgers
    Jalen Beeks didn’t give up a run and picked up a save Friday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: It’s the sixth save of the season for Beeks, and the first save where he didn’t allow a run since May 13. The left-hander does have a 2.93 ERA, and he’s been one of the few pleasant surprises for the Rockies in 2024. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:45 pm
     
  • Sixto Sánchez lifted with lead in fifth
    Sixto Sánchez yielded two runs in four-plus innings Friday in a no-decision against the Rangers.

    Advice: Sánchez, who went without a strikeout tonight, was pulled with a 4-1 lead after giving up a double and a single to start the fifth. Declan Cronin took over then and did a nice job in allowing only one of the runners to score. Sánchez has completed five innings just once seven starts for the Marlins, and he’s still looking for the first victory of his comeback. His ERA stands at 6.06. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:02 pm
     
  • José Ureña pulled in third in loss to Marlins
    José Ureña lasted just 2 1/3 innings and gave up four runs — two earned — in Friday’s loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Ureña’s original organization treated him badly tonight, with Nick Gordon hitting a two-run homer off him. Ureña has been decent in his rotation stint for the Rangers, but it’d certainly be best if the team was able to stick him into a middle-relief role in the not-too-distant future.
