Player Notes

  • Collects 32nd save
    Clase earned a save against the Phillies on Friday, allowing one hit and striking out one in a scoreless inning.

    Advice: Clase entered the contest in the bottom of the ninth inning and retired the first two batters he faced before giving up a hit to Bryson Stott. The veteran closer would then strikeout Weston Wilson to end the contest. The save was Clase's third in the last four days and his 19th consecutive successful opportunity since his last blown save on May 19. The 26-year-old has 32 saves on the campaign and ranks second in the majors behind Ryan Helsley. Rotowire.com Today, 7:57 pm
  • Pushed off 40-man roster
    The Mets designated Walker for assignment Friday.

    Advice: Walker will end up as the Mets' 40-man roster casualty following the acquisition of Ryne Stanek from the Mariners on Friday. Walker has accumulated a 6.45 ERA across 22.1 innings during his MLB career, though his 2.83 ERA through 28.2 frames with Triple-A Syracuse may garner some attention from other teams in need of bullpen depth.

  • Rebounds for fifth win
    Suarez (5-1) took a blown save but ultimately earned the win Friday over Baltimore, allowing one hit while striking out a pair over 1.2 innings.

    Advice: San Diego turned to Suarez in the eighth inning after Baltimore got the tying run to third base with one out. The 33-year-old right-hander ultimately allowed the run to score on a sac fly, sticking him with his third blown save -- however, the Padres would rally to re-take the lead in the top of the ninth before Suarez turned in a scoreless bottom half, sealing his fifth victory. Suarez hasn't allowed an earned run in 11 of his last 12 outings as he's lowered his ERA to a stellar 1.51 with a 0.86 WHIP and 40:8 K:BB while converting 23 saves over 41.2 innings this year.

  • Gets back on winning track
    Lively (9-6) picked up the win Friday against the Phillies, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.

    Advice: Lively was fantastic Friday, only giving up a solo home run to Bryson Stott en route to the win after back-to-back losses. Lively continues his remarkably consistent season, as he's gone at least five innings and allowed three runs or fewer in 16 of his 18 starts thus far in his breakout campaign. The 32-year-old will carry a 3.44 ERA into his next start, currently scheduled vs the Orioles. Rotowire.com Today, 7:21 pm
  • Mets acquire Ryne Stanek from Mariners on Friday
    Mets acquired RHP Ryne Stanek from the Mariners for OF Rhylan Thomas.

    Advice: The 33-year-old right-hander had operated as the Mariners’ primary setup man this season, racking up seven saves while posting a 4.38 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and a 44/17 K/BB ratio across 39 innings on the season. Expect Stanek to be active and in uniform for Saturday’s contest against the Braves. Rotoworld Today, 4:56 pm
  • Gregory Santos (knee) could return on Saturday
    Gregory Santos (knee) underwent a precautionary MRI exam that revealed no structural damage.

    Advice: The Mariners are now optimistic that Santos will be able to avoid a stint on the injured list and could even return to action as early as Saturday. He’ll go through a pregame workout on Friday and if all goes well he’ll be cleared to return to the M’s bullpen. Rotoworld Today, 4:21 pm
  • Rays acquire Cole Sulser from Mets on Friday
    Rays acquired RHP Cole Sulser from the Mets for cash considerations.

    Advice: The 34-year-old right-hander had been designated for assignment by the Mets earlier in the week, so they were content to flip him for anything that they could get at this point. He had posted a 9.64 ERA and 1.92 WHIP in just 4 2/3 innings for the Mets prior to getting waived. He’ll function as bullpen depth at Triple-A Durham for the time being. Rotoworld Today, 4:06 pm
  • Rays recall Tyler Zuber from Triple-A Durham
    Rays recalled RHP Tyler Zuber from Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: Zuber was just optioned out on Tuesday, but he’ll head right back to join the big-league bullpen after Randy Arozarena was dealt away to the Mariners on Thursday night. Expect that the 29-year-old hurler will be utilized in the middle innings by manager Kevin Cash. Rotoworld Today, 4:03 pm
  • Facing hitters
    Simpson (elbow) will throw a live bullpen session Saturday with Single-A Jupiter, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Simpson has been cleared to face batters after completing a pair of bullpens within the last week. While he threw 35 pitches in his previous session, Simpson is expected to throw only 25 pitches Saturday. The southpaw underwent elbow surgery in late April, but he is expected to pitch again in 2024. Rotowire.com Today, 3:54 pm
