  • Nearing rehab assignment
    Kahnle (shoulder) will throw a live batting-practice session Saturday and could begin a rehab assignment thereafter, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Kahnle has been throwing bullpens since mid-April and recently progressed to facing live hitters. The Yankees haven't yet established a firm plan for the veteran reliever, but it appears likely that he'll either have one more live BP after Saturday's session or move onto a minor-league rehab assignment. Kahnle was a key piece of the team's bullpen last season, posting a 2.66 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 48:19 K:BB over 40.2 innings while registering two saves and 14 holds. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Collects third win
    Schreiber (3-0) earned the win Friday versus the Rangers, allowing two hits and two walks with one strikeout in a scoreless inning.

    Advice: Schreiber erased a walk with a double play, then loaded the bases again before striking out Marcus Semien to end the top of the seventh inning. The Royals rallied for six runs in their half of the frame, and Schreiber ended up with the win. He's pitched 5.1 consecutive scoreless innings, and he's been scored on just once this season, pitching to 0.59 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB over 15.1 innings. He's getting some good luck, as indicated by a .227 BABIP and 3.06 FIP, but the right-hander looks poised to play an important high-leverage role for the Royals for the year.

    The Brewers recalled Koenig from Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

    Advice: Koenig has appeared in five games for the Brewers this season, allowing two runs (one earned) on nine hits and two walks while striking out four over 8.2 innings. The 30-year-old southpaw will return to the Brewers' bullpen, while right-hander Corbin Martin was optioned to Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 9:49 am
     
  • Brewers send down Corbin Martin to Triple-A
    Brewers optioned RHP Corbin Martin to Triple-A Nashville.

  • Brewers bring back Jared Koenig from Triple-A
    Brewers recalled LHP Jared Koenig from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Koenig was excellent over 8 2/3 innings in five appearances with the Brewers before his demotion with a 1.04 ERA as evidence. He provides a fresh multi-inning arm for the Brew Crew, with Corbin Martin heading back to Triple-A to make room on the roster. Rotoworld Today, 9:35 am
     
  • Back down to Triple-A
    The Brewers optioned Martin to Triple-A Nashville on Saturday.

    Advice: Martin was called up by the Brewers for Friday's game against the Cubs, though he did not play. He'll head back down to Nashville, where he has given up two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out five over 4.1 frames. In a corresponding move, Milwaukee recalled left-hander Jared Koenig from Triple-A Nashville. Rotowire.com Today, 9:32 am
     
  • Progressing toward rehab assignment
    Middleton (forearm) threw a bullpen session Saturday and is expected to throw two more next week before heading to Double-A Springfield for a rehab assignment, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Middleton noted that his session Saturday went well and he has not experienced any discomfort in his right forearm since receiving a PRP injection April 6, per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat. Barring any setbacks next week, Middleton is set to start his rehab assignment, and some good outings in Springfield should mean a return to the majors for the 30-year-old.

  • Keynan Middleton (forearm) throws bullpen
    Keynan Middleton (forearm) threw a bullpen Saturday.

    Advice: Middleton told reporters after the session that he’s tracking towards beginning a rehab assignment. The 30-year-old has been out since the middle of March because of his right forearm strain, and it sounds like he could be an option in the middle innings for the Cardinals by the end of the month.

  • Woo-Suk Go goes to Marlins in trade with Padres
    Go, 25, will join the Marlins after posting a 4.38 ERA and 15/4 K/BB over 10 appearances for Double-A San Antonio. The 25-year-old could very easily be a part of the Miami bullpen before the summer comes to a close, but likely not in a role that creates fantasy significance.
