  • Beginning rehab assignment
    The Rangers assigned Sborz (shoulder) to Double-A Frisco on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

    Advice: The right-hander has been on the shelf with a rotator cuff strain since April 7, and he shouldn't require a lengthy rehab assignment since it's been a relatively brief absence. Sborz made three appearances prior to the injury and struck out three without allowing a run over 2.2 innings. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago

    The Diamondbacks claimed Jacques off waivers from the Red Sox on Tuesday, Andrew Parker of Beyond the Monster reports.

    Advice: Jacques had been designated for assignment after making one appearance this season for Boston. The left-hander holds a career 5.08 ERA, 22:10 K:BB and 63 percent groundball rate over 28.1 innings at the major-league level. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Diamondbacks claim Joe Jacques off waivers
    Diamondbacks claimed LHP Joe Jacques off waivers from the Red Sox.

    Advice: The 29-year-old southpaw was placed on waivers this past Saturday and will get a fresh start in Arizona. He’s likely to start off in the minors and be used as bullpen depth for the D-backs. Jacques made 23 appearances (one start) for the Red Sox during the 2023 campaign, posting a 5.06 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and a 20/10 K/BB ratio. In his lone appearance with Boston this season, he allowed three hits and one earned run in 1 2/3 innings of work. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago
     
  • Earns first win Monday
    Erceg (1-1) earned the win against the Yankees on Monday, firing two scoreless innings during which he allowed a walk and recorded a strikeout.

    Advice: Erceg took the baton from starter JP Sears, who stymied his former Yankees squad over six shutout, three-hit innings. Erceg didn't miss a beat, locating 17 of his 26 pitches for strikes and serving as a bridge to a rare save opportunity for Mason Miller in the ninth inning. The right-hander now has five consecutive scoreless appearances, a span during which he's fired six scoreless frames while recording six strikeouts. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago

  • Snags second win
    Helsley (2-2) earned the win Monday versus the Diamondbacks, allowing one hit and striking out one without walking a batter in a scoreless inning.

    Advice: Helsley has allowed just one unearned run over his last six appearances, though that led to a loss. He was able to back into the win Monday, keeping the game tied in the top of the ninth inning before Nolan Gorman hit a walk-off home run in the bottom of the frame. Through 12 appearances, Helsley has a 2.25 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 13:1 K:BB while converting seven of his eight save chances. Rotowire.com Today, 10:02 am
     
  • Set for elbow surgery
    Simpson will undergo surgery Tuesday to repair the ulnar nerve in his left elbow, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It's expected to be around three months before Simpson will be ready to pitch in games again, so this will put him out at least until after the All-Star break. The southpaw initially suffered the injury during spring training and attempted an ultimately unsuccessful rest and rehab before eventually opting for surgery. Rotowire.com Today, 9:28 am
     
  • Josh Simpson undergoes elbow surgery
    Marlins LHP prospect Josh Simpson under went elbow surgery on Tuesday.

    Advice: The 26-year-old is expected to miss three months to repair ulnar nerve neuritis before he returns to action. Simpson, the Marlins’ 26th ranked prospect, posted a 4.19 ERA, 1.54 WHIP with a 59/23 K/BB ratio across 34 1/3 innings in Triple-A last season. Rotoworld Today, 9:27 am
     
  • Headed back to majors
    The Cubs will recall Wesneski from Triple-A Iowa prior to Tuesday's game versus the Astros, Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register reports.

    Advice: He'll join Matt Mervis in being added to the big-league roster. There's no word at this point what the corresponding moves will be, but Wesneski can't be recalled unless he's replacing an injured player. The right-hander tossed four scoreless innings in an extended relief outing last week in Arizona, picking up a win in the process. Rotowire.com Today, 9:22 am
