MLB Player News

Peters will be recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake ahead of Saturday's game against the Mariners and could make a spot start, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

The Angels have yet to decide whether Peters will start or if he'll come on in relief following an opener, but he's definitely in the pitching plans. Los Angeles will make the roster move official closer to first pitch.

Sadzeck resumed throwing Friday, but he experienced discomfort in his right elbow and is now scheduled for an MRI, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

The Mariners won't know more about Sadzeck's condition until the test results return, though this certainly doesn't appear to be good news for the right-hander. He was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday due to right elbow inflammation.

Barria was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

Barria's time in the big leagues didn't last long, as he made just one appearance Thursday, giving up one run on three hits and two walks while fanning six over five innings. Wilfredo Tovar was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Betances (shoulder) felt sore following his most recent bullpen session, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

This appears to be a setback, though manager Aaron Boone referred to the issue as "normal soreness." It's unclear when Betances is expected to throw next or when he's expected to return from the injured list.

Perez was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

Perez owns a poor 6.44 ERA in 36.1 innings for Round Rock this season. He'll fill the bullpen role previously occupied by Brady Rodgers, who was optioned in a corresponding move.

Hearn (ebow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Friday.

Hearn has been out with elbow inflammation since late April and will now be ineligible to return before June 25. It's unclear when he's expected to be back in game action, though sometime roughly around that date appears possible, as he's recently resumed throwing. The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for Tim Federowicz, acquired in a trade from Cleveland in a corresponding move.

Scott's contract was selected from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday.

The 27-year-old has yet to make his big-league debut and owns a poor 5.88 ERA in 33.2 innings for Tacoma this season, though his 30.3 percent strikeout rate is quite strong. Mitch Haniger landed on the 10-day injured list with a ruptured testicle in a corresponding move.

Cordero was claimed off waivers by the White Sox on Friday and optioned to Triple-A Charlotte.

Cordero moves on to his fourth organization of the season, having previously spent time in Washington, Toronto and Seattle. He's primarily spent his time in the minors, making just one big-league appearance for the Blue Jays. Carlos Rodon (elbow) was transferred to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Weber was optioned to Triple-A Pawtucket on Friday.

Weber has made three starts and three relief appearances this season, recording an unimpressive 5.12 ERA in 19.1 innings. He'll make way on the roster for Mitch Moreland (back), who returns from the injured list in a corresponding move.

Smeltzer was optioned to Triple-A Rochester on Friday, Brandon Warne of ZoneCoverage.com reports.

Smeltzer allowed five runs on eight hits over 12.1 innings in two starts since being promoted last week, in what proved to be a solid debut stint in the majors. Michael Pineda (knee) will rejoin the Twins' starting rotation after being activated off the injured list. Smeltzer seems like a prime candidate to rejoin Minnesota if and when the team requires an additional starter later this season.
