  • Diamondbacks demote LHP Joe Jacques
    Diamondbacks optioned LHP Joe Jacques to Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: The move makes room for Thyago Vieira, who was claimed off waivers Thursday. Jacques spent just one game on Arizona’s active roster and did not get to pitch. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
     
  • Undergoes Tommy John surgery
    Urquidy underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Wednesday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Astros had only described Urquidy's surgery as "season-ending" prior to the operation, but it's now likely the 29-year-old righty remains out until the second half of the 2025 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career. He will finish 2024 with a 5.29 ERA and 1.43 WHIP across 63 innings and will enter his final year of arbitration eligibility this offseason. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

  • Sent back to Reno
    The Diamondbacks optioned Jacques to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

    Advice: One day after coming up from the minors, Jacques will now return to Triple-A following the arrival of Thyago Vieira, who was claimed off waivers from Baltimore on Thursday. Jacques has allowed seven earned runs in just 6.1 innings since joining the Diamondbacks organization in April, and a return to Arizona isn't likely, barring a significant turnaround.

  • Bullpen on tap
    Hall (knee) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: The 25-year-old visited Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles for a second opinion on his sprained left knee Friday and was recommended to receive a PRP injection, but the left-hander will instead follow the initial medical opinion and get back to throwing. Hall made two one-inning rehab appearances in the minors in late May before he tweaked his knee, and he'll likely require at least a few bullpen sessions before being cleared for game action again.

  • Abner Uribe (knee) goes on minor league IL
    Abner Uribe was placed on the IL at Triple-A Nashville because of a right knee injury.

    Advice: The Brewers will know more after he has an MRI next week. Uribe opened the year as the Brewers’ primary closer, but he was sent down May 1 after amassing a 6.91 ERA in 14 1/3 innings. He allowed just one run but walked seven in 8 2/3 innings in Triple-A before getting hurt. Rotoworld 59 minutes ago
     
  • Activated, staying at Triple-A
    Thompson (illness) was activated from the 15-day injured list Friday and was optioned to Triple-A Iowa, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Thompson has been recovering from a viral illness since mid-May and was rehabbing with Triple-A Iowa this week. While he's over the illness, he'll stick around in the minors, where he started this season. He appeared in three games at Iowa as part of his recovery, yielding one run on three hits with six Ks over 4.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 1:34 pm
     
  • Cubs activate, demote Keegan Thompson
    Cubs activated RHP Keegan Thompson from the 15-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: Keegan had been out with a viral illness since May 15. He has a 4.97 ERA in 12 2/3 innings out of the pen for the Cubs this season. Rotoworld Today, 1:32 pm
     
  • Loses roster spot
    The Cubs optioned Hodge to Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Ryan Herrera of CHGO Sports reports.

    Advice: Hodge flashed both his wipeout stuff (seven strikeouts) and control problems (four walks) during his first five major-league relief innings. He'll get another chance eventually but for now will attempt more fine-tuning at Iowa. Rotowire.com Today, 1:08 pm
     
  • White Sox designate Woodford for assignment
    White Sox designated RHP Jake Woodford for assignment.

    Advice: Woodford was hit hard on Thursday as he allowed seven runs in four innings against the Red Sox. That’ll be his last appearance in Chicago for awhile. The club has seven days to trade Woodford or place him on waivers. Rotoworld Today, 12:52 pm
