  • Rangers' Yerry Rodriguez: Brought up from Triple-A

    Rodriguez was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

    Rodriguez will fill the spot of Nathan Eovaldi (groin), who was placed on the 15-day IL on Friday. In six appearances with the Rangers this season, Rodriguez garnered a 10.50 ERA and a 2.50 WHIP with three home runs allowed.

  • Nick Burdi RP | NYM

    Yankees' Nick Burdi: Set for Double-A appearance

    Burdi (hip) will throw in a rehab game at Double-A Somerset on Sunday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Burdi's rehab stint will begin Sunday at the Double-A level after missing the last 11 days of April with right hip inflammation. He's yet to allow a run in seven MLB appearances this season.

  • Craig Kimbrel RP | NYM

    Orioles' Craig Kimbrel: Available Friday

    Manager Brandon Hyde said Kimbrel (back) is available as the Orioles' closer Friday in Cincinnati, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.comreports.

    The 35-year-old hasn't seen the field since his back acted up Sunday against the A's, but he's ready to go after resting up over the past few days. Kimbrel allowed three runs and recorded just one out while blowing saves in each of his past two outings, though the injury may have played a role in those results. He has a 3.18 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 17:6 K:BB over 11.1 innings for the season.

  • Pete Fairbanks RP | MIA

    Rays' Pete Fairbanks: Rehab assignment starting soon

    Fairbanks (arm) is set to begin a rehab stint at Triple-A Durham on Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reported Friday.

    Fairbanks has been dealing with a nerve issue in his throwing arm and after receiving positive results on testing done in late April, he's set to see game action. It's unclear how long his stint in Durham will be, but once Fairbanks is back with the Rays, expect him to reclaim closing duties from Jason Adam and Garrett Cleavinger.

  • Guardians' Peter Strzelecki: Rejoins big-league club

    The Guardians recalled Strzelecki from Triple-A Columbus on Friday, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    The right-hander was sent to Columbus in mid-April and will rejoin the big club for Friday's series opener versus the Angels. Strzelecki has delivered a scoreless frame in each of his two outings for Cleveland this season.

  • Tyler Beede RP | CHC

    Guardians' Tyler Beede: DFA'd by Guardians

    Beede was designated for assignment on Friday, Chris Assenheimer of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Beede has allowed 13 runs across eight innings in his last eight appearances, capped off by a five-run outing against the Astros on Thursday over one-third of an inning. His ERA has ballooned to 8.36 during that stretch after he opened up the season with six scoreless innings. Righty Peter Strzelecki was recalled in a corresponding move.

  • Jorge Alcala RP | TOR

    Twins' Jorge Alcala: Recalled from Triple-A

    The Twins recalled Alcala from Triple-A St. Paul on Friday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    He's taking the roster and bullpen spot vacated by Caleb Boushley, who was sent back to St. Paul on Thursday. Alcala never deserved to be optioned in the first place, as he has given up just one unearned run on three hits through six appearances this season.

  • Red Sox's Josh Winckowski: Effective in short start

    Winckowski allowed one run on two hits and two walks without striking out any batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against San Francisco on Thursday.

    Winckowski's short outing can be explained by the fact that he began the campaign in a relief role and isn't stretched out to a starter's full workload. Still, the right-hander was able to give Boston 4.1 useful frames Thursday, with the only run against him coming on a third-inning Mike Yastrzemski solo homer. With Nick Pivetta (elbow) nearing a return to the rotation and and Brayan Bello (lat) not far behind, Winckowski could be moving back to a bullpen role relatively soon.

  • Keegan Akin RP | BAL

    Orioles' Keegan Akin: Nabs win Thursday

    Akin (1-0) allowed a run on one hit and one walk over 1.1 innings, earning the win Thursday versus the Yankees. He did not record a strikeout.

    Kyle Bradish went 4.2 innings in his return from an elbow injury, failing to qualify for the win. Akin was able to get the last out of the fifth inning, and while he gave up a solo home run to Gleyber Torres in the sixth, the Orioles' lead was never in danger. Akin has been scored on in just three of his 15 appearances this season, pitching to a solid 3.60 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB over 15 innings while adding four holds. Akin is serving more as a regular reliever than a multi-inning option in 2024, though the southpaw can handle longer assignments when necessary.

  • Deivi Garcia RP | MIL

    White Sox's Deivi Garcia: Outrighted to Triple-A

    Garcia cleared waivers Thursday and was sent outright to Triple-A Charlotte, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

    Garcia was DFA'd on Sunday after accumulating a 7.07 ERA and 1.93 WHIP across 14 innings to begin the season. He'll remain in the White Sox organization, but a return to the 40-man roster will likely depend on his ability to turn things around in the minors.
