  • Garcia (lower back) could be available Saturday
    Yimi Garcia (back) will throw before Saturday’s game to determine his availability.

    Advice: Garcia has been unavailable while dealing with a lower back injury. The right-hander will throw before the game, and the Blue Jays will make a determination as to whether he’s available for the contest or not. Garcia has been outstanding in 2024 with a 0.68 ERA and 16/3 K/BB over 13 1/3 innings over 13 appearances. Rotoworld 4 minutes ago
     
  • Moved to 60-day IL
    Atlanta transferred Perdomo (elbow) to the 60-day IL on Saturday.

    Advice: Perdomo was placed on Atlanta's 15-day IL at the beginning of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last fall. He wasn't expected to pitch in 2025, and his move to the 60-day IL is to allow Atlanta to place right-hander Pierce Johnson on the 15-day injured list. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Returning Sunday
    Manoah (shoulder) will start Sunday's game against the Nationals, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Manoah has been on the injured list with right shoulder inflammation since the beginning of the season. He's made five rehab starts in the minors -- four at Triple-A Buffalo -- and has given up 19 runs across 19.2 total innings while posting a 28:11 K:BB. However, the 26-year-old looked dominant in his most recent Triple-A outing Tuesday, giving up one earned run across six innings while punching out 12 batters and walking two. Manoah's performance Tuesday could be a sign that his struggles are finally behind him, though he remains an extremely risky streaming option given his lack of consistency.

  • Lands on 15-day IL
    Atlanta placed Johnson (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Saturday.

    Advice: Johnson has served as the primary right-handed set up man for Atlanta this season. He did not allow a run over his last seven appearances and did not give up a hit over his last five. Johnson has a 3.00 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB over 12 innings this season. Atlanta will likely to lean on right-hander Joe Jimenez for high leverage spots while Johnson is on the shelf. To make room on the 40-man roster, Atlanta transfered left-hander Angel Perdomo to the 60-day injured list. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Angel Perdomo (elbow) moves to 60-day IL
    Angels transferred LHP Angel Perdomo from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: It’s a procedural move that clears spot on the 40-man roster for Jackson Stephens. Perdomo will miss the majority — possibly all — of the 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery last October. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
     
  • Pierce Johnson heads to IL with elbow inflammation
    Atlanta placed RHP Pierce Johnson on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation.

    Advice: Johnson has been an effective member of the Atlanta bullpen with a 3.00 ERA over 13 appearances in 16 innings. The right-hander will miss at least two weeks while recovering, but there’s no firm timetable as to when the 32-year-old will be back in action. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago
     
  • Braves select contract of Jackson Stephens
    Braves selected the contract of RHP Jackson Stephens.

    Advice: Stephens will be a bullpen option for Atlanta, and he replaces Pierce Johnson after Johnson was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday. Stephen has made 80 appearances at the highest level, and he isn’t likely to pitch in high-leverage situations in this stint. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Alek Manoah (shoulder) starting Sunday vs. Nats
    Alek Manoah (shoulder) will start Sunday’s game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Manoah will make his season debut after missing the first quarter of the season with his shoulder injury. His rehab starts were up-and-down — to put it mildly — but he struck out 12 over six innings Tuesday in his rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo. The right-hander isn’t that long removed from being one of the best starters in baseball, but his lack of success makes him a very risky fantasy option, even against a bad lineup like the Nationals.

  • Josiah Gray (elbow) throws 35-pitch bullpen
    Josiah Gray (elbow) threw a 35-pitch bullpen Saturday.

    Advice: Nationals manager Dave Martinez told reporters that the bullpen session “went well.” Gray is expected to be cleared to face live hitters soon, and if the progress continues, a rehab assignment shouldn’t be far away. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
