  • Shifts to 60-day IL
    The Brewers transferred Junis (shoulder/head) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.

    Advice: Junis initially went on the IL back in early April with a right shoulder impingement but had a more recent setback when he was struck in the head by a ball during batting practice. As a result of being transferred to the 60-day IL, Junis will be moved off the 40-man roster and won't be eligible for activation until early June. Rotowire.com Today, 2:32 pm

  • Brewers select Kevin Herget from Nashville
    Brewers selected the contract of RHP Kevin Herget from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Herget was designated for assignment back in April, so the Brewers had to add him back to the 40-man roster to make this move. They did so with Jakob Junis being transferred to the 60-day injured list and Janson Junk being optioned to Triple-A. Rotoworld Today, 2:30 pm
     
  • Called up by Milwaukee
    The Brewers selected Herget's contract from Triple-A Nashville on Monday.

    Advice: Right-hander Janson Junk was optioned to Nashville to open up a spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen for Herget. The 33-year-old right-hander made 10 appearances for Nashville prior to his call-up, delivering a 3.46 ERA and 1.15 WHIP in 13 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 2:26 pm
     
  • Dispatched to Triple-A
    The Cubs optioned Thompson to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Thompson has pitched well overall out of the Cubs bullpen this season, but he was roughed up in his last two appearances while yielding seven runs (four earned) and recording just three outs. He's being sent out to make room on the active roster for lefty Justin Steele (hamstring), who was reinstated from the injured list ahead of his scheduled start Monday versus the Padres.

  • Recalled by Oakland
    The Athletics recalled Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.

    Advice: The move corresponds with Oakland placing right-hander Joe Boyle (back) on the 15-day IL. Harris has a 1-1 record over six starts in Triple-A this season with a 9.00 ERA, 1.95 WHIP and 21:20 K:BB over 21 innings with Las Vegas. He appeared in 14 games with the Athletics last season, finishing with a 3-6 record while posting a 7.14 ERA and 1.51 WHIP over 63 frames. Rotowire.com Today, 2:16 pm
     
  • Keegan Thompson optioned to Triple-A by Cubs
    Cubs optioned RHP Keegan Thompson to Triple-A Iowa.

    Advice: It’s Thompson and not Ben Brown who gets booted from the roster with Justin Steele (hamstring) coming off the injured list, and Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribute notes Brown will work out of the bullpen. Thompson will head back to Triple-A and likely be up-and-down throughout the 2024 campaign. Rotoworld Today, 2:09 pm
     
  • Athletics recall Hogan Harris from Las Vegas
    Athletics recalled LHP Hogan Harris from Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: Harris, 27, has made six starts with the Aviators with an abhorrent 9.00 ERA and 1.95 WHIP. He takes the place of Joe Boyle after Boyle was placed on the injured list with a back injury, and while he could make starts, there’s no logical reason for adding Harris to a fantasy roster.

  • Angel Chvilli sent back to Double-A Harftord
    Rockies optioned RHP Angel Chivilli to Double-A Hartford.

    Advice: Chivilli was up for three days while Justin Lawrence was away on paternity leave. With Lawrence active, Chivilli will report back to the Yard Goats. Rotoworld Today, 1:52 pm
