  • Out with hyperextended knee
    The Mariners placed Saucedo on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a hyperextended right knee.

    Advice: Saucedo suffered the injury during Tuesday's 10-6 win over the Twins while running to cover first base. He seems to have avoided a serious injury, but it's not clear if the reliever will be ready to be activated when he's first eligible to return May 23. Rotowire.com Today, 2:01 pm
     
  • Returns from IL
    The Mariners activated Bazardo (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Advice: Bazardo has been out all season with a right rotator cuff strain but is ready to make his 2024 debut for Seattle after allowing two runs with a 7:1 K:BB over 5.1 innings during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma. He will occupy a middle-relief role. Rotowire.com Today, 1:57 pm
     
  • Undergoes MRI on knee
    Topa underwent an MRI on his left knee after feeling soreness following his last rehab appearance with Triple-A St. Paul on Sunday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Advice: Topa was able to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, so his setback would appear to be a minor one. However, the reliever is still awaiting results of the MRI before determining the next steps. Topa had been poised to be activated from the 15-day injured list soon before hitting a snag in his recovery. Rotowire.com Today, 1:52 pm
     
  • Moves past sore knee
    Wilson (knee) has made two relief appearances since exiting early in a 6-4 loss to the Padres on April 30, recording two outs while surrendering four earned runs on four hits and no walks.

    Advice: After leaving the April 30 game when he took a line drive off his right knee, Wilson was sent in for X-rays, which revealed no major damage. He went unused for the next couple of days before he was summoned out of the bullpen Friday and Tuesday. He struck out the lone batter he faced in Friday's 3-0 loss to Baltimore, but he was bludgeoned for four hits -- including two home runs -- in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to Arizona.

  • Martín Pérez charged with four runs versus Angels
    Martín Pérez yielded four runs in five-plus innings Wednesday versus the Angels.

    Advice: It was two runs through five, but Pérez allowed two singles to start the sixth and both runners came around to score off Luis Ortiz. Pérez struck out five and walked none. His 36/13 K/BB ratio in 45 innings this season is an improvement over his typical ratio, but he’s still not someone we would consider in fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Today, 12:19 pm

  • Joins big-league bullpen
    The Twins recalled Staumont from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Staumont allowed five runs but turned in a 16:3 K:BB over 10.2 relief innings this season with St. Paul. If or when Staumont makes an appearance with the Twins, it will be his first in the majors since he had thoracic outlet syndrome surgery last July. Rotowire.com Today, 12:17 pm
     
  • Picks up first win Tuesday
    Stanek (1-0) got the win against the Twins on Tuesday, recording a strikeout over a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.

    Advice: Stanek got his first victory in a Mariners uniform on just 11 pitches, entering the game after Tayler Saucedo suffered a knee injury covering first base. Stanek got the last two outs in the eighth and then became the pitcher of record when Seattle snapped a 6-6 tie with a four-run rally in the ninth. The veteran right-hander has bounced back from a three-appearance stretch where he allowed at least one run to contribute consecutive scoreless outings. Rotowire.com Today, 12:17 pm
     
  • Heads back to Triple-A
    The Twins optioned Alcala to Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Alcala allowed four runs and threw 48 pitches over two innings in Tuesday's 10-6 loss to the Mariners, so he's being sent out in favor of a fresh arm. Right-hander Josh Staumont was recalled from St. Paul in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 12:13 pm
     
  • Call-up official
    The Rangers recalled White from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

    Advice: White will offer the Rangers some length out of the bullpen for Wednesday's doubleheader in Oakland. If White ends up being needed for multiple innings in relief Wednesday, he could be swapped off the 26-man active roster for another fresh arm heading into the Rangers' weekend series in Colorado. White has made five starts for Round Rock this season, accruing a 5.70 ERA and 1.64 WHIP over 23.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 12:00 pm
