  • Signs with Brewers
    Hernandez signed a one-year contract with the Brewers on Saturday.

    Advice: Hernandez elected to become a free agent after being pushed off the Dodgers' 40-man roster, and he'll now look to carve out a role for himself in Milwaukee. The 29-year-old righty has given up nine runs in 9.2 innings this season. He worked primarily as a reliever during his brief stint with the Dodgers, but he will likely serve as a starter for a Brewers team that has dealt with a plethora of injuries to its rotation. In order to make room for Hernandez, James Meeker was optioned to Triple-A Nashville and DL Hall (knee) was transferred to the 60-day IL. Rotowire.com Today, 10:11 am
  • Brewers transfer DL Hall (knee) to 60-day IL
    Brewers transferred LHP DL Hall to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: Hall visited specialist Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles for a second opinion on his left knee and has opted to go the rest and rehabilitation route instead of receiving a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection. The procedural move keeps him sidelined until at least late June and opens up a spot on Milwaukee’s 40-man roster. Rotoworld Today, 10:09 am

  • Rangers option Gerson Garabito back to Triple-A
    Rangers optioned RHP Gerson Garabito to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: Garabito heads back to the minors with veteran Jon Gray returning from the injured list ahead of Saturday’s game against the Giants. The 28-year-old rookie has pitched well in three appearances (one start) since being called up back in late May. He figures to return at some point later this summer. Rotoworld Today, 9:57 am
  • Throws light bullpen Friday
    Munoz (back) threw a light bullpen session before Friday's game against the Royals per Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times, but the reliever did not appear in the contest.

    Advice: Divish had noted there was a possibility Munoz would be available for the first time since exiting Tuesday's game against the Athletics, but it was Ryne Stanek who got the ninth-inning call and ultimately failed to protect a 9-7 lead. With Stanek having appeared in three of the last four games and having thrown 39 pitches in the last two nights, Munoz would certainly be in line for any high-leverage work Saturday if he's healthy enough to handle it.

  • Bobby Miller averages 97.4 mph on Friday at AAA
    Bobby Miller (shoulder) allowed two runs (one earned) over four innings on Friday in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: The positive news here for fantasy managers is that Miller averaged 97.4 mph on his four-seam fastball in this one and was able to generate nine swinging strikes, nearly all of them on his secondary offerings. He struck out two and also issued a pair of walks, needing 85 pitches (50 strikes) to get through four-plus frames. Barring something unexpected, the hard-throwing 25-year-old righty should return to Los Angeles at some point next week. Rotoworld Today, 6:32 am
  • Battling finger soreness
    Weathers was removed from Friday's game against the Guardians due to left index finger soreness, Daniel Alvarez-Montes of ElExtraBase.com reports.

    Advice: Weathers was only able to get through 2.1 innings before being pulled, during which he allowed two earned runs on four hits while striking out three batters and walking none. The Marlins haven't provided any information regarding the severity of his injury, but they'll likely keep an eye on his finger as he approaches his next scheduled start -- tentatively scheduled for Thursday against the Mets.

  • Weathers leaves due to left index finger injury
    Ryan Weathers left Friday’s start against the Guardians with left index finger soreness.

    Advice: Weathers threw 2 1/3 innings while allowing two runs before exiting in the third inning. The left-hander will likely undergo testing to determine the severity of the injury, but for now should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:44 pm
  • Andrés Muñoz throws, could be available out of pen
    Andrés Muñoz threw before Friday’s game and might be available to pitch against the Royals.

    Advice: Muñoz has been unavailable since tweaking his already sore back on a collision at home plate during Tuesday’s game. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:53 pm
  • 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 a platelet-rich plasm injection was recommended, 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.
