The Rockies recalled Blalock from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.

Blalock has appeared in three games (one start) for the Rockies this season, allowing eight runs on 12 hits and two walks while striking out three over seven innings. He was optioned to Triple-A on Monday, but he'll return to the majors to give the Rockies another arm in the rotation after Ryan Feltner (back) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Alexander is now listed as Milwaukee's starting pitcher for Friday's game against the Cubs, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Quinn Priester had originally been listed as Friday's probable starter, but the Brewers are turning to the left-handed Alexander as the opener ahead of Priester. Alexander started three games in April, but his last four appearances have come out of the bullpen. On the season, Alexander has a 4.56 ERA and 20:11 K:BB across 23.2 innings. Expect Priester to still handle the bulk of the innings.

The Mets optioned Adcock to Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

Adcock spent 24 hours with the big club and threw 18 pitches out of the bullpen Thursday against the Diamondbacks. He faced four batters and surrendered one hit and one walk. With Adcock going back down to Triple-A, the Mets have recalled fellow reliever Austin Warren.

The Mets recalled Warren from Triple-A Syracuse on Friday, Andrew Tredinnick of The Bergen Record reports.

In a corresponding move, the Mets optioned Ty Adcock to Triple-A Syracuse. Warren has tossed 10.1 innings at Triple-A this season, registering a 4.35 ERA and 14:9 K:BB. He'll work in middle relief for New York.

The Cardinals recalled Munoz from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Munoz made three appearances with St. Louis earlier this season, allowing three runs with a 4:1 K:BB over 2.2 innings. The right-hander will give manager Oliver Marmol a fresh bullpen arm.

The Cardinals recalled Roycroft from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Roycroft was sent down last month after allowing seven runs (five earned) on six hits and six walks over 5.2 innings. He seemed to get back on track at Memphis, permitting two runs with a 6:2 K:BB across six frames.

The Cardinals optioned O'Brien to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

He's being replaced by a fresh relief arm after throwing 34 pitches over 1.2 frames Thursday versus the Reds. O'Brien will get another opportunity later this season.

The Cardinals optioned Svanson to Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

Svanson wasn't going to be available for a day or two after throwing two innings and 44 pitches in a relief appearance Thursday in Cincinnati, so he's being replaced with a fresh bullpen arm. Roddery Munoz and Chris Roycroft have been added to the St. Louis relief corps.

The Pirates optioned Stratton to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday.

Stratton had been called up earlier this week and made two appearances, allowing a total of four runs over 1.2 innings. Utility player Liover Peguero is taking his spot on the roster.

Rogers (2-1) took the loss and picked up a blown save in Thursday's 4-3 defeat to the Rockies. He allowed two earned runs on three hits across one inning.

Rogers entered the game in the eighth inning and was tasked with protecting a 3-2 lead. However, the right-hander surrendered a double and two singles, allowing multiple runs for the first time during the 2025 campaign. The 34-year-old reliever has given up just three runs all season, recording a 1.65 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and a 14:3 K:BB across 16.1 innings in 17 appearances.
