  • Brewers place Joel Payamps on bereavement list
    Brewers placed RHP Joel Payamps on the bereavement list.

    Advice: The 30-year-old right-hander is expected to miss the Brewers’ entire weekend series against the Cardinals. Janson Junk was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move to take his place in the bullpen. Expect Bryan Hudson and Elvis Peguero to see action in the eighth inning to set up for closer Trevor Megill. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
     
  • Brewers recall Janson Junk from Triple-A Nashville
    Brewers recalled RHP Janson Junk from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: With Joel Payamps landing on the bereavement list on Friday, Junk will rejoin the Brewers’ bullpen just four days after being optioned to Triple-A. He has posted a miserable 9.00 ERA, 2.80 WHIP and a 3/1 K/BB ratio across five innings with the Brewers in three appearances this season. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago
     
  • Cardinals claim Kolton Ingram off of waivers
    Cardinals claimed LHP Kolton Ingram off of waivers from the Rangers.

    Advice: The 27-year-old southpaw is once again on the move after being claimed off of waivers for the third time this calendar — after being jettisoned off of the 40-man rosters of the Tigers, Mets and now Rangers. He has registered a 5.14 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and a troublesome 3/7 K/BB ratio over seven frames at the Triple-A level this season. Rotoworld 52 minutes ago
     
  • Brewers acquire Mitch White from Giants
    Brewers acquired RHP Mitch White from the Giants for cash considerations.

    Advice: The 29-year-old right-hander is on the move once again after being designated for assignment by the Giants last weekend. He’s talented enough that teams are still willing to take a chance on him, but so far he just hasn’t been able to put it all together at the big league level. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago
     
  • Playing catch
    Rodriguez (back) was playing catch out to 90 feet Friday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Rodriguez seems to be progressing well after being placed on the 15-day IL with thoracic spine inflammation on April 30. While he'll be eligible to return May 14, it seems as though Rodriguez will need more time before being reinstated. Rotowire.com Today, 1:56 pm
     
  • Pirates acquire Daulton Jefferies from Giants
    Pirates acquired RHP Daulton Jefferies from the Giants for OF Rodolfo Nolasco.

    Advice: Jefferies, 28, had been designated for assignment by the Giants after posting a brutal 17.36 ERA, 3.43 WHIP and a 4/2 K/BB ratio over 4 2/3 innings in two starts. He’ll function as excess pitching depth for the Pirates. Rotoworld Today, 1:55 pm
     
  • Ways away from throwing
    Manager Carlos Mendoza said Friday that Raley (elbow) is "not close" to throwing and will be seeing another doctor, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Raley hasn't received much good news since being placed on the 15-day IL on Apr. 21, initially being expected to return as soon as eligible before having his return date extended. Mendoza said May 2 that they'd be taking it slow with Raley, as it seems the inflammation in Raley's throwing elbow isn't healing as expected. With Raley set to see a specialist later this week, keep an eye out for an update on his status. Rotowire.com Today, 1:37 pm

  • Available Friday
    Garcia (back) is available for Friday's game against the Twins, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Garcia hasn't pitched in a game since April 28 but is ready to take the mound this weekend versus Minnesota. The right-hander has been dominant this season with a 0.68 ERA, 0.53 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB across 13.1 innings, and he should continue to serve as the setup man to closer Jordan Romano.

  • Throws bullpen
    Green (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Friday's bullpen marks Green's first action off a mound since being placed on the injured list Apr. 20 and marks a significant step in his recovery from a right shoulder strain. At this pace, Green could be back in action later this month. Rotowire.com Today, 1:31 pm
