    • Notches 13th save
      Holmes walked one and struck out two in a scoreless ninth inning Friday to record his 13th save of the season in a 4-2 win over the White Sox.

      Advice: The right-hander is back in a four-way tie for the league lead in saves with Emmanuel Clase, Kyle Finnegan and Ryan Helsley, but Holmes is the only one of the quartet who still sports a 0.00 ERA. The Yankees closer's luck on that front will run out eventually, but his 0.98 WHIP and 23:4 K:BB through 19.1 innings highlight how dominant he's been. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
    • Strikes out eight in rehab start
      Peterson (hip) struck out eight over 5.1 scoreless innings in his latest rehab start Tuesday for Double-A Binghamton. He scattered five hits and didn't walk a batter.

      Advice: Peterson opened the season on the 60-day injured list while he completed his recovery from Nov. 6 surgery to address a torn labrum in his left hip, but the southpaw looks on pace to be activated on or around when he's first eligible May 27. He tossed 70 pitches (53 strikes) in Tuesday's outing, his first with Binghamton and the fourth outing overall of his rehab assignment. Peterson will likely shift his rehab assignment to Triple-A Syracuse and should require just one or two more tune-up starts before making his way back from the IL. The Mets have a full rotation at the moment, so Peterson -- who has a minor-league option remaining -- could end up sticking around with Syracuse upon his activation. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago

    • Braves activate Pierce Johnson for Saturday return
      Braves activated RHP Pierce Johnson from the 15-day injured list.

      Advice: Johnson returns to bolster Atlanta’s high-leverage relief mix following a two-week absence due to right elbow inflammation. The 33-year-old righty was a revelation last year for the Braves following a midseason trade from the Rockies and boasts a stellar 16/5 K/BB ratio across 12 innings of work this season.

    • Outrighted to Gwinnett
      Atlanta outrighted Stephens to Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

      Advice: Stephens came up from the minors May 4 to replace the injured Pierce Johnson, and he will now return to Triple-A as Johnson comes off the IL. Stephens made three appearances in his latest big-league stint, allowing one run over 3.1 innings while striking out two batters and walking one. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
    • Braves outright Jackson Stephens to Triple-A
      Braves sent RHP Jackson Stephens outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

      Advice: Stephens draws the short straw in Atlanta’s bullpen with Pierce Johnson returning from the injured list ahead of Saturday’s game against the Padres. The 30-year-old righty has been removed from the club’s 40-man roster altogether following three appearances for the Braves after being called up earlier this month from Triple-A Gwinnett. He figures to be back up with Atlanta at some point later this summer, if not sooner. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
    • Reinstated from IL
      Atlanta reinstated Johnson (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.

      Advice: Right elbow inflammation forced Johnson onto the injured list May 4, and he'll now return to Atlanta's bullpen following a minimum-length stay. The 33-year-old righty sports a 3.00 ERA and 1.25 WHIP through 12 innings this season, and he figures to see plenty of action during Atlanta's stretch of 17 consecutive games without a day off. Jackson Stephens was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
    • Picks up save Friday
      Hader struck out one batter in a perfect inning and earned a save over the Brewers on Friday.

      Advice: Hader made quick work of the Brewers Friday, needing just 12 pitches to snag his sixth save of the year. After a disastrous start to his Astros career -- 9.39 ERA with one save through nine appearances -- Hader has seemingly settled in with his new team. He's allowed just two earned runs over his last 12.1 innings, lowering his season ERA to 4.50. He's riding a 5.1-inning scoreless streak with three saves and a win during that span.

    • Ryan Pressly dealing with finger soreness
      Ryan Pressly is day-to-day with right finger soreness.

      Advice: Astros manager Joe Espada didn’t seem to think it was a big deal when talking to reporters afterwards, but it sounds like Pressly could wind up getting a few days off as a result. There should be an update on his status at some point this weekend. Rotoworld Today, 3:41 am
    • Nabil Crismatt elects free agency
      Dodgers RHP Nabil Crismatt elected free agency.

      Advice: Crismatt could ultimately wind up back as extra organizational relief depth after being removed from Los Angeles’ 40-man roster for the second time this season already. However, he’ll explore his options on the open market for now after refusing an outright assignment to Triple-A Oklahoma City. The 29-year-old righty has pitched well in seven relief outings for the Dodgers and should be able to latch on somewhere else. Rotoworld Today, 3:14 am
