Daniel Slania

SF Relief Pitcher #57

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Giants recalled RHP Daniel Slania from Triple-A Sacramento.

Slania pitched well last season in his first year since being converted from reliever to starter, but he’s struggled this year with a 6.44 ERA between Double- and Triple-A. He’ll give the Giants some length out of the bullpen.

Garrett Crochet

BOS Starting Pitcher #35

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Garrett Crochet (shoulder) played catch on Sunday, the first time that he has done so since being shut down due to inflammation in his pitching shoulder.

There’s still no clear timeline for a potential return for the 26-year-old southpaw, but it’s at least encouraging that he is throwing the ball again. Expect the Red Sox to take every possible precaution here as they ramp him back up.

Trey Gibson

BAL Starting Pitcher

Orioles selected the contract of RHP Trey Gibson from Triple-A Norfolk.

The 23-year-old will make his big league debut on Sunday afternoon against the Yankees. Gibson has registered a 4.01 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and a 25/12 K/BB ratio across 24 2/3 innings in six starts at the Triple-A level this season. He draws a very difficult first assignment having to battle the Yankees in New York, which is why he isn’t a recommended streaming option.

Gunnar Henderson

BAL Shortstop #2
Gunnar Henderson is not in the Orioles’ starting lineup for the first time this season for Sunday’s series finale against the Yankees.

If you’re going to have to take a day off at some point, doing so against Max Fried isn’t the worst idea. Henderson has struggled at the plate so far this season, slashing just .209/.275/.460 to go along with nine homers, 19 RBI and five stolen bases across his first 153 plate appearances. Blaze Alexander will start in his place at shortstop and bat ninth for the O’s on Sunday.

Jhoan Duran

PHI Relief Pitcher #59

Jhoan Duran (oblique) threw a successful bullpen session on Saturday.

The right-hander hit triple digits with his fastball during the session, which led to speculation that he may not need a minor league rehab assignment before rejoining the Phillies’ bullpen. It sounds like he could be ready to be activated at some point next week.

Nick Lodolo

CIN Starting Pitcher #40

Nick Lodolo (blister) is expected to rejoin the Reds’ rotation on Friday.

Lodolo made it through Saturday’s rehab start at Triple-A Louisville without any issues, giving up two runs on five hits over his 4 1/3 innings of work while racking up six strikeouts. He threw 79 pitches in the outing (45 strikes) and shouldn’t have any workload limitations upon his return.

Chase Petty

CIN Starting Pitcher #61

The Reds plan to recall right-hander Chase Petty from Triple-A Louisville to start on Monday against the Cubs in Chicago.

The 23-year-old right-hander has had mixed results in his six starts at the Triple-A level this season, compiling a 4.38 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and a 29/11 K/BB ratio across 24 2/3 innings. It’s likely to just be a one-and-done situation for Petty as Nick Lodolo (blister) is slated to rejoin the Reds’ rotation on Friday.

Jackson Chourio

MIL Center Fielder #11

The X-rays on the injured foot of Brewers’ outfielder Jackson Chourio came back negative for any fractures on Saturday.

The dynamic 22-year-old fouled a ball off of his foot during a minor league rehab game at Triple-A Nashville on Saturday. Fortunately, he was able to avoid any significant injury. They’ll wait and see how he feels and progresses on Sunday before making a determination on whether or not he’ll be activated from the injured list for Sunday’s series opener against the Cardinals in St. Louis.

Yacksel Rios

CHC Relief Pitcher #40

Cubs designated RHP Yacksel Rios for assignment.

The Cubs needed to clear a spot in their bullpen for the return of Daniel Palencia on Sunday and it looks like Rios pulled the short straw this time. The 32-year-old hurler appeared in just one game during his time with the club, striking out two batters over 1 2/3 innings of scoreless baseball. It’s possible he could pique another team’s interest on waivers.

Daniel Palencia

CHC Relief Pitcher #48

Cubs activated RHP Daniel Palencia from the 15-day injured list.

The Cubs’ bullpen has been decimated by injuries, so getting their closer back should go a long way towards stabilizing things at the back end. Before landing on the injured list with a lat strain, the 26-year-old flame-thrower had fired five scoreless innings with a 1.00 WHIP and a 5/2 K/BB ratio while converting his lone save chance.

Jayden Murray

HOU Relief Pitcher #70

Astros optioned RHP Jayden Murray to Triple-A Sugar Land.

The Astros needed to clear a spot on their active roster for the return of Ryan Weiss on Sunday and unfortunately Murray was the odd man out this time around. The 29-year-old right-hander holds a 6.00 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and a 5/5 K/BB ratio over six innings in four appearances with the Astros this season.
