  • Jaden Hill P | COL

    Rockies' Jaden Hill: Summoned from Triple-A

    The Rockies recalled Hill from Triple-A Albuquerque on Sunday.

    Hill will be up with Colorado for the second time this season after he previously made three relief appearances in April. The right-hander has maintained excellent ratios (3.72 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB) in 17.2 innings at Triple-A this season, but he'll likely operate as a low-leverage reliever for the Rockies initially.

  • Zach Agnos P | COL

    Rockies' Zach Agnos: Shut down with elbow injury

    The Rockies placed Agnos on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right elbow flexor strain.

    During a relief appearance Saturday, Agnos retired just one of the five batters he faced and was charged with four earned runs before being pulled from the game due to an unspecified arm injury. After further evaluation, the Rockies determined that the right-hander was dealing with an elbow strain, an injury that will most likely keep him on the shelf beyond the minimum 15 days. Colorado recalled Jaden Hill from Triple-A Albuquerque to take over Agnos' spot in the bullpen.

  • Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Fans three Saturday

    Rodriguez threw a scoreless ninth inning in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Mets, allowing one hit and striking out three.

    Rodriguez gave up an infield single but struck out the rest of the batters he faced, throwing 10 of his 14 pitches for strikes. The All-Star has allowed one run in seven appearances this month, posting a 1.29 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and a 7:1 K:BB across seven innings during that span. Overall, the right-hander owns a 0.82 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and a 59:8 K:BB in 43.2 innings this season.

  • Brent Headrick RP | NYY

    Yankees' Brent Headrick: Promoted Sunday

    The Yankees recalled Headrick from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

    The left-hander spent most of July on the injured list at Triple-A, but he was reinstated last week and is now getting another look with the Yankees. Headrick has made 11 appearances in the majors this season and has a 4.73 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 16:3 K:BB across 13.1 innings.

  • Joe Boyle SP | TB

    Rays' Joe Boyle: Joining rotation Tuesday

    Boyle is listed as the Rays' probable starting pitcher for Tuesday's game against the Yankees in New York.

    Boyle will fill the spot in the rotation that opened up when Taj Bradley was optioned to Triple-A Durham on Thursday. Over 15 appearances (14 starts) in the minors this season, Boyle had been one of Triple-A's top hurlers with a 1.73 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 96:31 K:BB in 73 innings, and he's carried that success over to the majors. In his five appearances (one start) with Tampa Bay, the right-hander has spun a 1.42 ERA and 0.63 WHIP while punching out 18 batters over 19 innings. He made a five-inning appearance as recently as July 6, so he should be capable of working deep enough into Tuesday's start to qualify for a win. Given his sterling ratios, Boyle looks worthy of rostering in just about any fantasy league now that he's in line for an extended stay in the rotation.

  • Braves' Daysbel Hernandez: Back in majors

    Atlanta recalled Hernandez from Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday.

    The right-hander was optioned to Triple-A just before the All-Star break but is back in the big leagues with Grant Holmes (elbow) landing on the injured list. Hernandez had made 30 relief appearances in the majors this season and has a 2.10 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 30:24 K:BB over 30 innings.

  • J.T. Ginn P | ATH

    Athletics' J.T. Ginn: Getting another rotation turn

    Ginn will start Sunday's game against the Astros.

    Ginn was called upon to fill the vacant spot in the Athletics rotation Tuesday against the Rangers, and while the right-hander was limited to 58 pitches, he fared well in a no-decision, limiting Texas to one earned run on five hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings. Ginn will be rewarded with a second start, and he should be capable of giving the Athletics around 70-80 pitches Sunday.

  • Chase Lee RP | TOR

    Tigers' Chase Lee: Struggles badly Saturday

    Lee allowed four runs on four hits in just an inning of work in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the Blue Jays. He struck out one.

    With the Tigers down 2-0 entering the top of the ninth inning, Lee let things get out of hand with one of his worst outings of the season. The rookie righty started his campaign by posting a 2.05 ERA across his first 25 games, but he now has a 15.88 ERA over his last six appearances, getting tagged for multiple runs three times during the stretch. Fatigue is potentially becoming a factor for Lee, and the team could decide to send him back to Triple-A Toledo at some point for a reset.

  • Jacob Latz RP | TEX

    Rangers' Jacob Latz: Shifts back to bullpen

    Latz worked in relief in wins over Atlanta on Friday and Saturday, covering 1.1 innings between his two appearances while allowing one earned run on two hits and three walks.

    Prior to his pair of relief appearances, Latz tossed five innings of one-run ball in a start against the Tigers on July 20, but he was never expected to receive multiple turns through the Texas rotation. The 29-year-old lefty has proven to be a dependable spot starter when called upon this season, but the Rangers aren't likely to have a permanent rotation spot available for him unless another starter succumbs to an injury. Even in that scenario, Jon Gray -- who was activated from the 60-day injured list earlier this week and moved to the bullpen -- might be the preferred option over Latz to fill any void in the rotation.

  • Will Vest RP | DET

    Tigers' Will Vest: Takes loss Saturday

    Vest (5-2) allowed two runs on three hits across an inning of relief to take the loss in Saturday's 6-1 defeat to the Blue Jays. He struck out one.

    With the game scoreless through seven innings following a dazzling start by Tarik Skubal, Vest let things get away in the eighth. It was the first time the veteran righty had allowed more than one run in an appearance since June 15, and he had posted a stellar 0.96 ERA in nine games since then. Overall, Vest still has a solid 2.58 ERA across 45.1 innings this season to go along with 51 strikeouts, and he should be able to bounce back from the rough outing and get back to closing out games for the Tigers.
