  • Continues stellar run
    Gil (6-1) earned the win Thursday over the Mariners, allowing just one hit and two walks while striking out eight in 6.1 scoreless innings.

    Advice: Gil continues to look like a star in the Yankees' rotation -- the 25-year-old right-hander now has five straight wins and quality starts, allowing just two runs over 30.2 innings in that span. He's lowered his ERA to 2.11 on the year with a 1.01 WHIP and 70:29 K:BB through 10 starts (55.1 innings). GIl will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week on the road against the Angels. Rotowire.com Today, 2:07 pm

    New Player Note
     
  • Outrighted to Double-A
    White cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Double-A Somerset.

    Advice: The Yankees claimed White off waivers from Tampa Bay on May 9, and he remained on the 40-man for just 11 days before being DFA'd on Monday. He has appeared in two games for Somerset since joining the Yankees organization, allowing two earned runs across two-thirds of an inning. Rotowire.com Today, 1:54 pm
     
  • Designated for assignment
    Peralta was designated for assignment by the Mariners on Thursday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Seattle has scooped up Eduardo Salazar off waivers from the Dodgers and Peralta is the 40-man roster casualty. Peralta, 26, has spent all of this season at Triple-A Tacoma, putting up a 9.24 ERA and 12:8 K:BB over 12.2 frames. Rotowire.com Today, 1:51 pm
     
  • Grabs save Thursday
    Rogers earned the save in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Pirates, working around a hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Advice: Rogers was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth, with Camilo Doval having pitched three times in the last four days. The Pirates would get a couple of baserunners via an error and a Bryan Reynolds single, but Rogers would ultimately escape unscathed, securing his first save this season. The 33-year-old sidearmer has put together another solid start to the campaign -- his ERA is down to 2.19 with a 0.97 WHIP and 16 strikeouts with no walks across 24.2 innings. While Doval is firmly established as the closer in San Francisco, Rogers is the clear number-two option. Rotowire.com Today, 1:47 pm
     
  • Claimed by M's
    The Mariners claimed Salazar off waivers from the Dodgers on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: After pitching two scoreless innings for the Dodgers on May 15, Salazar was optioned to Triple-A and later designated for assignment. He'll once again hold a 40-man roster spot with his new club, though he will begin his tenure with the Mariners at Triple-A Tacoma. The 26-year-old right-hander has logged a 5.61 ERA and 1.78 WHIP through 33.2 innings across seven starts in the minors. Rotowire.com Today, 1:46 pm
     
  • M’s claim Eduardo Salazar off waivers from Dodgers
    Mariners claimed RHP Eduardo Salazar off waivers from the Dodgers.

    Advice: Los Angeles was probably hoping to sneak Salazar through waivers after designating him for assignment earlier this week, but he’ll head to Triple-A Tacoma as extra relief depth for Seattle. The 26-year-old righty threw a pair of scoreless frames in his lone appearance for the Dodgers this season. Rotoworld Today, 1:43 pm
     
  • Mariners designate Sammy Peralta for assignment
    Mariners designated LHP Sammy Peralta for assignment.

    Advice: Peralta has been jettisoned from Seattle’s 40-man roster to make room for newly-added reliever Eduardo Salazar. The 26-year-old southpaw didn’t make an appearance for Seattle after being claimed off waivers last month from the White Sox. Rotoworld Today, 1:42 pm
     
  • Yankees outright Colby White to Double-A
    Yankees sent RHP Colby White outright to Double-A Somerset.

    Advice: White passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment earlier this week and will remain with New York as a project reliever. The 25-year-old has yet to ascend to the big leagues and was claimed off waivers earlier this month from Tampa Bay. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm
     
  • Another strong outing
    Skenes didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Giants, allowing one run on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out three.

    Advice: While Thursday's outing wasn't as dominant as Skene's 11-strikeout performance in his last start, the rookie right-hander was still effective, coaxing a pair of key double-play balls to limit the Giants to just one run. However, the Pirates bullpen would implode late, leaving Skenes with a no-decision in an eventual 7-6 loss. Skenes now sports a 2.25 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and an impressive 21:4 K:BB through his first three starts (16 innings). He's currently in line for a road matchup with the Tigers in his next outing.
