    • Takes third loss
      Grove (4-3) was charged with the loss against the Rangers on Thursday, allowing two runs on three hits over one inning.

      Advice: Grove failed to retire three of the first five batters he faced, which led to two runs coming home for Texas in the first inning. That would prove to be the difference as the Dodgers' offense managed to generate only one run on the night, leaving Grove with his first loss since May 10. The right-hander has now allowed at least one run and multiple hits in each of his last two appearances. He's also failed to record a strikeout in three straight outings.

    • Needs Tommy John surgery
      Pereira needs season-ending Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

      Advice: Pereira had already been placed on the full-season minor-league injured list at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and now it's known what injury he's dealing with. The rehab from Tommy John surgery is shorter for position players, but Pereira still seems likely to get a late start to next season. The 23-year-old slashed .265/.346/.512 with 10 home runs and five stolen bases over 40 games with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2024. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
       
    • Nabs 10th save
      Yates picked up the save over the Dodgers on Thursday, allowing one walk over a scoreless ninth inning while striking out three.

      Advice: Yates had a bit of a hard time getting through the ninth after entering the contest with a two-run lead, surrendering a leadoff walk to Teoscar Hernandez on five pitches, who would later advance to second on a called balk. However, the veteran reliever made short work of the next three batters, getting all three to go down swinging as he secured his 10th save in as many chances. Yates has been solid in the closer role for Texas thus far and now holds a 1.11 ERA on the campaign. He's also recorded multiple strikeouts in three of his last four appearances and is yet to surrender a home run on the season. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
       
    • Strong over seven innings
      Lorenzen (4-3) picked up the win over the Dodgers on Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over seven innings. He struck out two.

      Advice: Lorenzen kept the Dodgers' offense at bay for most of the contest and only allowed one extra-base hit on the night, which came off the bat of Andy Pages in the seventh inning for a solo shot. However, the right-hander was able to get through seven frames for just the second time this season while logging his second win in his last three starts. It also marked the first time in Lorenzen's last eight starts that he didn't walk multiple batters. On the downside, he's now posted a 3:3 K:BB over his last two outings.

      The Pirates outrighted Heller to Triple-A Indianapolis on Thursday.

    • Released by Rays
      The Rays released Ramirez on Thursday.

      Advice: Ramirez cleared waivers after being designated for assignment and is now free to sign with another organization. He's slashed a disappointing .268/.284/.305 this season, but Ramirez carried a career .289/.329/.419 line into 2024, including a .322/.357/.445 line against left-handed pitching. The 29-year-old shouldn't have trouble landing a major-league contract. Rotowire.com 56 minutes ago
       
    • Optioned to Triple-A
      The Royals optioned Pratto to Triple-A Omaha on Friday.

      Advice: While there's no corresponding move yet, it will presumably be Adam Frazier returning from the bereavement list. Pratto was up with the big club only for a few days and didn't make an appearance. Rotowire.com Today, 6:13 am
       
    • JB Bukauskas (lat) begins rehab assignment
      JB Bukauskas (lat) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

      Advice: Bukauskus faced five batters and allowed two hits and one run. He threw 20 pitches. Bukauskus will need another outing or two in the minors before the Brewers consider letting him rejoin their bullpen. Rotoworld Today, 6:11 am
