    • Says his back is fine
      Gibson said Thursday that he feels fine after being scratched from a scheduled start Wednesday in Miami due to back tightness, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: The pitcher even said he's hoping to pitch in relief Thursday against the Giants, although that seems unlikely. It's not clear when Gibson might make his next start, but it sounds like a stint on the injured list can safely be ruled out. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
       
    • Set for UCL surgery
      Corniell will undergo season-ending surgery to repair the UCL in his right elbow, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Corniell has been sidelined all season with an elbow issue. While it was initially referred to as inflammation when he went on the Double-A Frisco 7-day injured list back in early April, subsequent testing has revealed the bad news. It's not yet clear whether Corniell will have a full Tommy John surgery or internal brace procedure, but in either case he is done for 2024 and is likely to miss at least a large chunk, if not all, of 2025, as well.

    • Gets ninth hold Wednesday
      McFarland recorded his ninth hold in a win over the Royals on Wednesday, retiring the only batter he faced.

      Advice: McFarland closed out the sixth inning for Luis Medina by retiring Adam Frazier on a flyout to left that left Nick Loftin stranded at first base. The veteran southpaw reliever has been outstanding since early May, recording a 1.17 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and four holds across 15.1 innings over his last 18 appearances. However, the fact he's typically used in middle relief usually limits McFarland to the occasional hold opportunity and therefore limits his fantasy appeal. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago
       
    • Reaches 67 pitches in rehab start
      Freeland (elbow) struck out four over four innings in his third rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Albuquerque, giving up two earned runs on two hits and four walks.

      Advice: Freeland tossed four innings of one-run ball in his first rehab outing with Albuquerque on June 13, but he wasn't quite as sharp in his second turn through the Triple-A rotation, spotting 42 of his 67 pitches for strikes while walking four of the 18 batters he faced. Though Freeland looks to be stretched out to close to a traditional starter's workload, the Rockies may want the left-hander to raise his pitch count a bit more and show improved control in one more outing with Albuquerque before bringing him back from the 60-day injured list. The Rockies already seem to be ruling out Freeland for a return this weekend; the team is listing Dakota Hudson, Cal Quantrill and Austin Gomber as its starters for the series with the Nationals that runs Friday through Sunday, according to Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com.

    • Set for Saturday start
      Henry is slated to start Saturday's game against the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

      Advice: Henry has already made six starts with Arizona this season, but his last two appearances with the big club following his June 9 call-up from Triple-A Reno have come as a primary pitcher out of the bullpen behind opening pitcher Scott McGough. Though Henry was roughed up for seven earned runs over 6.1 innings between those two relief outings, he'll get another turn through the rotation, this time as a traditional starter. Zac Gallen (hamstring) appears on track to return from the 15-day injured list by next weekend, so Henry will likely be on his way out of the rotation regardless of how he performs Saturday.

    • Another sim game coming next week
      Gallen (hamstring) is scheduled to throw another simulated game early next week and could be reinstated from the 15-day injured list shortly thereafter, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

      Advice: After tossing 31- and 37-pitch bullpen sessions last week, Gallen advanced to facing hitters in a simulated game Tuesday. Gallen's strained right hamstring apparently responded well to the workout, but the Diamondbacks will still have him toss another sim game during the upcoming week before signing off on his return to the rotation. If all goes well during his second sim game, Gallen could return at some point during the Diamondbacks' series in Oakland next weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 8:20 am
       
    • Yankees move on from reliever Clayton Andrews
      Yankees designated LHP Clayton Andrews for assignment

      Advice: After signing LHP Tim Hill, the Yankees needed a spot on the 40-man roster, which meant moving on from Andrews. The 27-year-old allowed a solo home run while getting just one out in MLB action this year and also had a 5.84 ERA in 24 2/3 innings at Triple-A as well. Rotoworld Today, 8:15 am
       
    • Yankees sign reliever Tim Hill
      Yankees signed LHP Tim Hill.

      Advice: Hill was designated for assignment by the White Sox last Wednesday and was subsequently released after posting a 5.87 ERA, 2.22 WHIP, and 13/10 K/BB ratio across 23 innings (27 appearances) this season with the White Sox. The Yankees bullpen is banged up right now, so Hill will be a welcome addition as a healthy arm. Rotoworld Today, 7:55 am
       
    • Departs 40-man roster
      The Yankees designated Andrews for assignment Thursday.

      Advice: The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of lefty reliever Tim Hill, who was signed to a big-league contract. Andrews has allowed 11 earned runs in just 3.2 frames during his brief time in the majors. Rotowire.com Today, 7:52 am
