MLB Player News

Faedo will start for the Tigers on Saturday versus the Mariners, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

Faedo permitted three runs (two earned) over 4.2 innings against the Cardinals on Sunday in his first start in the majors this season. The right-hander will get another opportunity against a struggling Mariners lineup but will be a risky streaming option.

Peterson was called up from Triple-A Syracuse and will start Tuesday versus the Reds, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.

With Max Scherzer (neck) being scratched from his start Tuesday, Peterson will return to the big-league mound. Peterson has struggled to a 7.34 ERA and 1.57 WHIP with 36 strikeouts over 30.2 innings in six starts with New York this season. In a corresponding move that made room for the left-hander on the major-league roster, Jimmy Yacabonis (quad) was placed on the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

The Reds selected Lively's contract from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.

Lively will join the big-league roster after being assigned to the minors in early March. The right-hander has produced an impressive 2.33 ERA and 1.07 WHIP with 16 strikeouts over 27 innings in five appearances, including four starts, with Louisville in 2023. With Luis Cessa being designated for assignment Tuesday, Lively could step right in Cincinnati's starting rotation.

The Pirates recalled Ortiz from Triple-A Indianapolis on Tuesday, Jason Mackey of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Ortiz will start for Pittsburgh against the visiting Rockies and might get an extended run in the rotation if things go well. The 24-year-old had registered a promising 2.23 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 29:11 K:BB through 32.1 innings (seven starts) this season at the Triple-A level.

Ritchie left his most recent start for Single-A Augusta with an apparent injury, Garrett Spain of Battery Power reports.

He faced the minimum while striking out six through three innings in his May 6 start against Kannapolis, but he suffered an apparent injury on a pitch in the fourth inning and then missed badly on two pitches before calling for the catcher to come visit. The manager and trainer came out as well and Ritchie left with an undisclosed injury. The 6-foot-2 righty boasts a 25:3 K:BB in 13.1 innings while going around three innings per start for the GreenJackets.

DeGrom (elbow) remains limited to playing light catch and there is no timetable for when he will be cleared to throw off a mound, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

"We're going very easy with it and testing it out," Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. While deGrom is eligible to return from the injured list Sunday, it's clear that it's going to take longer than that, perhaps much longer. Understandably, the Rangers want to proceed very cautiously with the prized right-hander as he works his way back from right elbow inflammation. Dane Dunning got the first start in deGrom's place and could be set for multiple turns through the rotation.

Kaprielian, who fired five scoreless innings for Triple-A Las Vegas on Sunday in his second minor-league start since being optioned to the Aviators, is a candidate to be called up if Mason Miller's elbow tightness causes him to miss at least one turn, MLB.com reports.

The right-hander faced Sacramento on Sunday for the second time in as many starts for Las Vegas and was even sharper than the first time around, allowing just three hits and no walks while recording three strikeouts. Kaprielian exhibited some significant control problems and couldn't keep the ball in the park consistently during three starts for Oakland before being sent to the bullpen, but he's issued just two free passes and hasn't allowed a home run during his first 8.1 innings on the farm. Word on Miller's short-term availability or lack thereof should be imminent following further evaluation by team doctors that was slated for the early part of the week.

Lin has a 3.27 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 17 strikeouts in 11 innings over his last three starts for High-A Hillsboro.

The 19-year-old undersized southpaw boasts a phenomenal changeup that has proved too much for most of the hitters he has faced lately. His first start of the season on April 15, in which he gave up three earned runs while walking two and only getting four outs, is dragging down his season numbers. Lin's 54.2 percent groundball rate is also a stellar mark, and it's worth noting the Taiwanese hurler is the second-youngest pitcher at High-A behind San Diego's Victor Lizarraga.

Peterson is meeting up with the Mets on Tuesday in Cincinnati, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Peterson was supposed to start for Triple-A Syracuse on Tuesday, but it sounds like he's going to be the backup plan for the Mets in case Max Scherzer (shoulder) isn't ready to take his scheduled turn Tuesday night against the Reds. There should be more clarity on the situation soon enough.

Shuster will likely get the call to start in place of Max Fried (forearm) Wednesday against the Red Sox, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

Dylan Dodd would be the other option, but he was just sent back to Triple-A Gwinnett on Friday and isn't eligible to return until next week, unless there's another injury on Atlanta's current active roster. Shuster has pitched well this year in the minors but has surrendered eight earned runs on 12 hits and nine walks in 8.2 major-league innings. He's a risky fantasy bet versus Boston.
