Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Brewers signed RHP Arnaldo Hernandez to a minor league contract.

Hernandez has mostly floated around independent and foreign leagues over the last couple of seasons. The 25-year-old former Royals prospect will function as organizational pitching depth for Milwaukee in 2022.

Yusei Kikuchi

LAA Starting Pitcher #16

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Angels’ manager Kurt Suzuki told reporters on Friday that the club is still awaiting the MRI results on the injured shoulder of left-hander Yusei Kikuchi.

Kikuchi was sent for imaging after being pulled from Wednesday’s start in the third inning due to soreness in his shoulder. They should know the results in the next day or so, after which they can make a determination on Kikuchi’s status. It looks increasingly likely that he’ll require a trip to the injured list.

José Berríos

TOR Starting Pitcher #17

José Berríos (elbow) is scheduled to make another rehab start at Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

If all goes well with that start, it’s possible the 31-year-old right-hander could be cleared to return to the Jays’ rotation. He has been shelved since the spring due to a stress fracture in his pitching elbow. It’s unclear if the Jays will then go to a six-man rotation or if someone will get bumped to the bullpen to accommodate the return of Berríos.

Alek Manoah

LAA Starting Pitcher #47

Alek Manoah (finger) will make a minor league rehab start at High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday.

The 28-year-old right-hander is working his way back from a right middle finger contusion that he sustained during Cactus League play. He has already worked his way up to 90 pitches in simulated games, so it’ll be interesting to see how many rehab starts he’ll require before he’s an option to help out the Halos.

Brendan Donovan

SEA 3rd Baseman #33

Brendan Donovan (groin) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Double-A Arkansas early next week.

The Mariners had been hopeful that he could return over the weekend without requiring a rehab assignment, but he’ll get at least a few games under his belt before rejoining the M’s lineup. The expectation is that he’ll be ready to join the team in Chicago next weekend.

Matt Brash

SEA Relief Pitcher #47

Mariners general manager Justin Hollander told reporters on Friday that the team received the MRI results on the injured side of right-hander Matt Brash and were hopeful of the results.

There doesn’t appear to be any significant issue at play here, though the M’s are still determining whether or not Brash will require a trip to the injured list. Either way, it sounds like he shouldn’t be looking at any sort of extended absence, which is obviously very encouraging.

Petey Halpin

CLE Center Fielder #0

Guardians recalled OF Petey Halpin from Triple-A Columbus.

He’ll replace George Valera on the Guardians’ bench after Valera was optioned back to Triple-A following Thursday’s contest. Halpin, a defensive replacement and pinch-runner extraordinaire, saw just eight plate appearances in six games with the Guardians during the 2025 campaign.

Carlos Carrasco

ATL Starting Pitcher #59

Braves sent RHP Carlos Carrasco outright to Triple-A Gwinnett.

As expected, the 39-year-old hurler passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra rotation depth for the Braves at the Triple-A level. Carrasco has made just one appearance for the Braves this season, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.

Joey Lucchesi

LAA Relief Pitcher #67

Angels sent LHP Joey Lucchesi outright to Triple-A Salt Lake.

The 32-year-old southpaw had been designated for assignment on Wednesday after a disastrous outing. For now it appears as though he’ll accept the assignment and head to Triple-A Salt Lake where he’ll continue to operate as extra pitching depth for the Halos.

Lou Trivino

FA Relief Pitcher #57

Lou Trivino has elected free agency.

The 34-year-old right-hander exercised the opt-out clause in his minor league deal with the Phillies and is now free to pursue opportunities elsewhere. Trivino had done a nice job in 10 appearances at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, posting a 2.77 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and a 20/4 K/BB ratio across 13 innings. Given the lack of quality bullpen depth around the league, he shouldn’t be out of work for long.

Aaron Nola

PHI Starting Pitcher #27
Phillies’ interim manager Don Mattingly told reporters on Friday that Aaron Nola’s next start will be pushed back until Monday.

Nola had been lined up to start on Sunday, but they’ll go with Jesus Luzardo there on regular rest. Mattingly wanted to break up the lefties in his rotation, giving a day in-between Luzardo and Cristopher Sanchez. That means Nola will now be scheduled to make two starts next week, though he misses a prime matchup against the Marlins in Miami.
