MLB Player News

Hill is scheduled to make his debut with the Mets on Sunday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

The 41-year-old lefty was acquired by New York after posting a 3.87 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 95.1 innings with the Rays this season. If he does start Sunday, Hill will draw a tough matchup in Toronto's righty-heavy lineup, against whom he allowed three runs in four innings July 11, walking three and striking out two.

Peterson was transferred to the 60-day IL due to a fractured right pinky toe, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

The lefty landed on the 10-day IL on July 2 with an oblique strain, but now the toe fracture will demand a more extended absence. It's unclear whether Peterson's oblique Is healed and he's only out due to the toe, or if he's dealing with both injuries. More details regarding his health and a possible return timeline should become available in the next couple weeks.

The Marlins recalled Garrett from Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The lefty rejoins Miami to fill the roster spot of Trevor Rogers (back) and presumably enter the starting rotation until Rogers is activated. In four appearances with the Marlins this season, three of which were starts, Garrett has pitched 15.2 innings and posted a 5.17 ERA. Walks have been an issue for him, though, as he's issued eight free passes.

The Marlins placed Rogers on the 10-day injured list Saturday with lower-back muscle spasms, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

The lefty must have suffered the injury during Tuesday's start when he wasn't exceptionally sharp, walking three batters and allowing two runs in five innings. It's unclear how long Rogers will be sidelined with the back spasms. Braxton Garrett was recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville in a corresponding move.

Cortes allowed three runs on three hits across two innings Friday versus Boston. He struck out three batters and did not issue a walk.

The left-handed hurler was activated from the COVID-19 injured list earlier in the day and got into the division clash with Boston leading by two runs in the sixth inning. Cortes got through his first frame unscathed, but Rafael Devers tagged him for a three-run homer in the seventh that broke the game open for the Red Sox. The blast accounted for as many earned runs against Cortes (three) as he had allowed through 25.2 innings prior to Friday. He still carries an impressive 1.95 ERA on the season.

Carrasco (hamstring) will make another rehab start at Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

The Mets were considering activating Carrasco to make a major-league start Sunday or Monday, but he'll require at least one more rehab appearance before he returns from the 60-day injured list. The right-hander has made two rehab starts so far, but he allowed five runs on three hits and three walks while striking out one in 1.2 innings during his most recent outing. If Sunday's start goes well, Carrasco could potentially rejoin the big-league squad late next week.

Manager Alex Cora said that Rodriguez (illness) felt better Saturday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Rodriguez was removed from Friday's game against the Yankees after one inning due to migraine issues, and the team told him to report late to the ballpark Saturday. The Red Sox haven't yet announced whether the southpaw will be able to make his next start, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. If he's cleared to pitch, Rodriguez tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Blue Jays on Thursday.

Peterson (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Saturday.

Peterson has been sidelined since July 2 due to an oblique strain, but he's been participating in a throwing program recently and is nearing his return to mound work. However, the southpaw will now be sidelined until early September following his shift to the 60-day IL. The move clears up a spot on the 40-man roster for Mark Payton, who was acquired from the Reds on Saturday.

Kikuchi allowed three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out 12 over six innings Friday against the Athletics. He did not factor into the decision.

Kikuchi delivered an excellent bounce-back game after he was roughed up in his last two starts. He compiled 12 of his 17 whiffs with his changeup and his 12 strikeouts were a career-high mark. The 30-year-old southpaw was hurt by the long ball in this one, surrendering solo homers to Matt Chapman and Matt Olson before the A's tacked on another run in the fifth on an RBI double from Mark Canha. Kikuchi owns a 3.95 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 117:36 K:BB over 109.1 innings. He'll be in search of his first win since July 1 next week when he takes on the Astros.

Montas allowed three runs on four hits and a walk while striking out 10 over six innings Friday against the Mariners. He did not factor into the decision.

Montas butted heads with Yusei Kikuchi on Friday as the two put on a clinic with 22 combined strikeouts. The 28-year-old Montas induced 24 whiffs, 13 of them coming on his splitter. He's now struck out 10 batters in two of his last three starts. All three runs he gave up came in the second after Cal Raleigh and Luis Torrens hit back-to-back homers off him. Montas owns a 4.34 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 122:30 K:BB over 112 innings and is set up for a start against the Angels next week.
