  • Facing hitters Monday
    Senga (shoulder) threw an up-and-down bullpen session Thursday and is slated to face hitters Monday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It will be the right-hander's first time facing hitters since he was diagnosed with a shoulder capsule strain back in late February. Senga still faces a long road ahead, but he's making nice progress and shouldn't be too far off from a rehab assignment if all continues to go well. He is on the 60-day injured list and not eligible for activation until late May. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago

  • Recalled ahead of opener assignment
    The Marlins recalled Maldonado from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

    Advice: Maldonado will make his major-league debut Friday with an opener assignment against the Nationals. The 26-year-old has held a 2.31 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 10:4 K:BB over 11.2 innings with Jacksonville this season. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
     
  • Moves to injured list
    The Marlins placed Luzardo on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to April 23, with left elbow tightness.

    Advice: The left-hander was scratched from Friday's start against Washington due to the injury and will now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. According to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com, Luzardo first felt the elbow issue while playing catch Thursday and believes it shouldn't be a lengthy absence, though he's also awaiting test results that should provide more clarity on the injury.

  • Marlins place Jesús Luzardo (elbow) on 15-day IL
    Marlins placed LHP Jesús Luzardo on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 23, with left elbow tightness.

    Advice: No surprise here. Luzardo was supposed to make a start against the Nationals on Friday, but he was scratched due to elbow discomfort and now he’ll be sidelined for at least the next two weeks. The 26-year-old said he felt the discomfort while playing catch on Thursday and feels an IL stint is more precautionary than anything else. The team is awaiting more test results, but the hope is that he only has to miss one to two starts. Rotoworld Today, 12:02 pm
     
  • Getting another rehab start
    Means (forearm) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: The Orioles previously hadn't ruled out the possibility that Means' next start could come in the majors, but ultimately they've decided to give him at least one more tune-up. It's not a surprise, as the southpaw has really struggled on his rehab assignment to this point, collecting a 13.89 ERA, 2.41 WHIP and 14:6 K:BB in 11.2 innings. Means did get his pitch count up to 79 in his last outing, so he should be fully built up after Sunday's start. He could make his season debut with the Orioles as soon as May 3 in Cincinnati.

  • Yankees activate Michael Tonkin
    Yankees activated RHP Michael Tonkin.

    Advice: The right-hander was claimed by the Yankees from the Mets on Thursday and will join the active roster for this weekend’s series against the Brewers. Tonkin has made six appearances this season, one with the Twins and five with the Mets, and has a 6.00 ERA, 1.56 WHIP with a 11/4 K/BB ratio across nine innings of work.

  • Astros option J.P. France to Triple-A
    Astros optioned J.P France to Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: After initial reports, the move is official. France will head down to the minors with the team activating Framber Valdez for this weekend’s series against the Rockies in Mexico City. It hasn’t been a great season for France, who has a 7.46 ERA through his first five starts and has failed to get through six innings in each of his outings. The 29-year-old will look to get right down at the Triple-A level and get back on the active roster with the Astros at some point this season. Rotoworld Today, 8:36 am
