  • Making next start in Double-A
    Matz (back) will start on Tuesday for Double-A Springfield, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Matz was able to get through two shutout innings on 24 pitches during his first rehab start at Triple-A on Thursday. Manager Oli Marmol said Saturday that the 33-year-old southpaw will build up to 40 pitches in his upcoming start, and the team will aim to get him up to about 75-80 pitches before returning him to its big-league rotation, making it likely he'll require at least one more rehab start after Tuesday.

  • First to 10 wins
    Suarez (10-1) earned the win Saturday over the Mets in London, allowing two runs on eight hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out six.

    Advice: It wasn't Suarez's most dominant outing (the eight hits allowed were a season high), though he managed to limit the damage en route to his league-leading 10th win. It's encouraging to see Suarez make a successful return to the mound after he was struck in the pitching hand by a line drive in his last start, forcing him out of the game after two innings. Overall, the 28-year-old southpaw sports a pristine 1.81 ERA with a 0.85 WHIP and 85:17 K:BB across 79.2 innings this year. Suarez is currently lined up to face the Orioles on the road in his next outing. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Matthew Boyd held showcase for 17 teams on Friday
    Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports that free agent left-hander Matthew Boyd held a showcase for 17 MLB teams in California on Friday.

    Advice: The 33-year-old southpaw — who is now more than 11 months removed from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery — reportedly sat in the 92-93 mph range during his session on Saturday. Given how many teams around the league are in need of quality rotation depth, Boyd should at least be able to land a minor league pact someplace to add depth. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago
     
  • Orion Kerkering whiffs three in relief vs. Mets
    Orion Kerkering struck out three over 1 1/3 innings on Saturday against the Mets.

    Advice: Kerkering came on to strike out Francisco Lindor to end the sixth inning, stranding a pair of inherited runners in the process, before coming back out to work a flawless seventh inning as well. The 23-year-old righty opened the season on the injured list, but has been phenomenal since returning, posting a sublime 1.19 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 24/4 K/BB ratio across 22 2/3 innings (21 appearances).

  • Ranger Suárez fans six to beat Mets in London
    Ranger Suárez struck out six and two runs over 5 2/3 innings on Saturday in a win over the Mets.

    Advice: Suárez took the ball for Saturday’s London Series opener across the pond and got a big assist from teammate Orion Kerkering, who came on to strike out Mets star Francisco Lindor and strand a pair of inherited runners in the process. The 28-year-old southpaw has been masterful this season, allowing three earned runs or fewer in 12 of his 13 starts. He’ll bring a microscopic 1.81 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 85/17 K/BB ratio across 79 2/3 innings (13 starts) into a road outing on Friday against the Orioles. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
     
  • Sean Manaea takes loss in London Series opener
    Sean Manaea was blasted for six runs over 3 2/3 innings on Saturday in a loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Manaea drew the starting assignment for Saturday’s London Series opener against the division-rival Phillies and was unable to complete four frames. The wheels came off completely in the fourth inning when he gave up homers to Bryce Harper and Whit Merrifield in a disastrous six-run frame. He’ll bring a 4.30 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 60/25 K/BB ratio across 60 2/3 innings (12 starts) into a home outing on Friday against the Padres. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago

  • Officially promoted
    The Marlins recalled Munoz from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday to start against the Guardians.

    Advice: The 24-year-old righty will come up from the minors to fill the open rotation spot created by Sixto Sanchez's (shoulder) move to the injured list. Munoz has started three games for the Marlins already this year, posting a 5.17 ERA and 1.21 WHIP alongside a 19:7 K:BB through 15.2 innings. Until he is able to turn in consistent success in the majors, he is not a recommended fantasy option. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
     
  • Placed on IL
    The Marlins placed Weathers on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left index finger strain.

    Advice: Weathers' finger caused him to be pulled from his start Friday midway through the third inning. He'll now miss several starts as he heads to the IL, though the team has not yet offered any sort of return timeline for the 24-year-old lefty. Roddery Munoz was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move and will start Saturday versus Cleveland, though it's not immediately apparent who will fill the new opening in the Marlins' rotation.

  • Marlins recall Roddery Muñoz for Saturday start
    Marlins recalled RHP Roddery Muñoz from Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Muñoz gets the call back to the majors in place of an injured Ryan Weathers (finger) and will take the ball for Saturday’s contest against the Guardians. The 24-year-old righty holds an underwhelming 5.17 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 19/7 K/BB ratio across 15 2/3 innings (three starts) this season in the majors and isn’t a recommended option for fantasy managers at the moment.
