• Mets claim RHP Yohan Ramirez off waivers
    Mets claimed RHP Yohan Ramirez off waivers from Orioles.

    Advice: Quite a 29th birthday present for Ramirez. The right-hander had an 11.81 ERA in three outings with the Mets earlier in the season and then got designated for assignment in early April. He was claimed by the Orioles three days later and had a 6.00 ERA in five appearances in Baltimore. He was designated for assignment on Friday and reclaimed by the Mets today.

  • Back with Mets
    The Mets claimed Ramirez off waivers from the Orioles on Monday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The Mets booted Ramirez from their 40-man roster and then traded him to the Orioles last month, but he's now back in the organization to give them a fresh relief arm. Ramirez holds an 8.74 ERA over eight relief appearances this season between the Mets and Orioles. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago
  • Reds send LHP Moll to Triple-A
    Reds optioned LHP Sam Moll to Triple-A Louisville.

    Advice: On the surface, the move may seem surprising because Moll has not allowed a run in five innings while striking out four and walking none. However, Moll was one of three Reds relievers with minor league options remaining. The other two are Alexis Diaz and Francisco Cruz, who are clearly not being demoted. Any other reliever sent to the minors would have had to be designated for assignment. Frankie Montas is expected to be activated off the IL later in the week in a corresponding move.

  • Guardians option Peter Strzelecki to Triple-A
    Guardians optioned RHP Peter Strzelecki to Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: The 29-year-old had made three appearances for the Guardians out of the bullpen, allowing no runs on four hits in four innings. He figures to serve as organization bullpen depth throughout the season. Rotoworld Today, 11:32 am
  • Guardians activate Sam Hentges from IL
    Guardians activated LHP Sam Hentges (finger) from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: The left-hander was dealing with inflammation on the middle finger of his pitching hand as was placed on the 15-day IL at the end of March. He now figures to be back as a main contributor for the Guardians out of the bullpen. Hentges had a 3.61 ERA and 17 holds in 52 1/3 innings out of the bullpen last season. Peter Strzelecki was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotoworld Today, 11:29 am
     
  • Loses spot in bullpen
    The Reds optioned Moll to Triple-A Louisville on Monday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Moll had made five scoreless appearances after coming off the injured list April 23, but he nonetheless now finds himself without a spot on the 26-man active roster. The Reds will make a corresponding move prior to Tuesday's game, with Frankie Montas (forearm) presumably on track to be activated from the 15-day injured list ahead of his start that day versus the Diamondbacks.

  • Sent back to minors
    The Guardians optioned Strzelecki to Triple-A Columbus on Monday.

    Advice: After being called up from Triple-A in advance of the Guardians' weekend series with the Angels, Strzelecki proceeded to make his lone appearance on Friday, when he fired two scoreless innings of relief. He'll be replaced in the Cleveland bullpen by left-hander Sam Hentges (finger), who was reinstated from the 15-day injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 11:27 am
  • Rejoins big-league bullpen
    The Guardians activated Hentges (finger) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

    Advice: Cleveland optioned right-hander Peter Strzelecki to Triple-A Columbus to clear room in the bullpen and on the 26-man active roster for Hentges, who opened the season on the IL with left middle finger inflammation. Hentges was added back to the 26-man active roster after he wrapped up a stellar six-appearance rehab assignment between Triple-A Columbus and Double-A Akron in which he struck out seven and allowed just five baserunners over 6.2 scoreless frames. He posted a 3.61 ERA and gathered 15 holds over 56 appearances with the big club in 2023 and should slot back in as a key part of the bridge to close Emmanuel Clase.

  • Sent back to minors
    The Rockies optioned Chivilli to Double-A Hartford on Monday.

    Advice: Chivilli was up with the big club over the weekend for its series in Philadelphia, but he didn't make an appearance. The 21-year-old's major-league debut will have to wait for another time. Rotowire.com Today, 10:35 am
