  • Excels in four-inning rehab start
    Marsh (elbow) struck out six and gave up one hit and one walk over four shutout innings Sunday in his rehab start with Triple-A Omaha.

    Advice: According to Anne Rogers of MLB.com, Royals manager Matt Quatraro said prior to Sunday's rehab outing that Marsh was being targeted for 60-to-65 pitches, but the right-hander fell slightly short of that benchmark with 53 pitches (38 strikes). In any case, Marsh mowed down the Triple-A Iowa lineup in efficient fashion and looks as though he could be ready to return from the 15-day injured list when first eligible Friday against the Angels. If the Royals instead decide to give Marsh one more rehab start to increase his pitch count, Daniel Lynch would likely be in store for a second turn through the rotation this weekend.

  • Returns to relief role
    Martinez made his most recent appearance as a reliever in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the Orioles, striking out two and allowing no hits and one walk over two scoreless innings.

    Advice: Martinez's prior two appearances came as a starter, but he moved back to the bullpen over the weekend in anticipation of Frankie Montas' (forearm) return to the rotation. With the Reds officially activating Montas from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Martinez should stick in the bullpen moving forward until one of Cincinnati's five starters succumbs to another injury.

  • Reds transfer Ian Gibaut (forearm) to 60-day IL
    Reds transferred RHP Ian Gibaut (forearm) to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: After being shut down for a second time during a rehab assignment, the 30-year-old now be sidelined for an extended period of time. Gibaut’s forearm injury has been an issue since spring training and he’s had multiple setbacks. There’s no timetable for when he’ll make his return to the Reds’ bullpen. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago

  • Reds activate Frankie Montas from 15-day IL
    Reds activated RHP Frankie Montas (forearm) from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: After two weeks on the injured list, Montas will return to the active roster and is scheduled to start Tuesday against the Diamondbacks. The 31-year-old holds a 4.19 ERA, 1.45 WHIP with a 14/10 K/BB ratio across 19 1/3 innings this season. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago

  • Rehab moved to St. Paul
    Winder (shoulder) is continuing his rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reported Tuesday.

    Advice: Winder's rehab stint began with Low-A Fort Myers on April 30, and despite allowing four runs in 3.2 innings at Low-A, he'll be brought over to St. Paul to continue his recovery. Even though he's set to return in late May or early June, Winder isn't guaranteed a big-league roster spot, so he'll likely need to show better at Triple-A. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

  • Confirmed for start Wednesday
    Bido will start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Bido has earned a look after collecting a 2.59 ERA and 39:13 K:BB across 31.1 innings with Triple-A Las Vegas this season. With Joe Boyle (back) landing on the 15-day injured list, it's possible Bido will be asked to make additional starts for Oakland. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

  • Works in relief Sunday
    Winckowski made his most recent appearance as a reliever in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Twins, tossing one inning and allowing one run on two hits.

    Advice: Winckowski worked as a starter in each of his prior three outings, but his usage out of the bullpen to close out the weekend signals that he'll lose out on a rotation spot with Nick Pivetta (elbow) due to return from the 15-day injured list Wednesday and with Brayan Bello (lat) perhaps being activated from the IL as soon as Sunday. Over his three starts, Winckowski delivered a 1.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP, but he never covered more than 4.1 innings in any outing and thus missed out on qualifying for a win on any occasion.

  • Transferred to 60-day IL
    Gibaut (forearm) was moved to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Gibaut was shut down from throwing late in April due to lingering issues with his strained right forearm and has now been put on the 60-day IL. He's consistently had his timetable for return pushed back after being said to be questionable for Opening Day in early March. Now, he'll have plenty of time for rehab before likely coming back in July or August. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

  • Shifts back to bullpen
    Anderson made his most recent appearance as a reliever in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Twins, covering two scoreless innings while giving up one hit and one walk and striking out one.

    Advice: Anderson made a spot start April 25 in Cleveland, but his relief appearance over the weekend signals that he'll lose out on a rotation spot with Nick Pivetta (elbow) on track to return from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday in Atlanta. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
