    • Facing hitters Wednesday
      Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said that Mahle (elbow) will face live hitters Wednesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Bochy noted that Wednesday's workout will be the first of four live batting practice sessions that Mahle will complete as he works his way back from his May 22, 2023 Tommy John surgery. If Mahle incurs no setbacks during the live sessions, he'll likely then head out on a minor-league rehab assignment that could last close to the maximum 30 days. Mahle looks to be tracking around a return from the 60-day injured list at some point shortly after the All-Star break. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

    • O’s finalize minor league pact with Julio Teheran
      Orioles signed RHP Julio Teheran to a minor league contract.

      Advice: The deal is now official. Teheran fortifies Baltimore’s injury-depleted starting rotation with some additional depth, but doesn’t offer much appeal for fantasy managers. The 33-year-old journeyman right-hander is an option to take the ball for Thursday’s series finale against the Blue Jays. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
       
    • Phillies sticking with Taijuan Walker amid struggles
      Phillies manager Rob Thomson confirmed Tuesday that Taijuan Walker will remain in the starting rotation.

      Advice: Walker receives yet another vote of confidence from Thomson as he’ll keep his rotation spot over Spencer Turnbull, who has been a revelation this season in his Phillies debut and will continue operating in long relief. The 31-year-old righty, who is in the second year of a four-year, $72 million contract, will take the ball on Sunday against the Mets in London his next time out. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
       
    • Tommy John surgery scheduled
      Javier (forearm) is scheduled to undergo Tommy John surgery Thursday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The right-hander landed on the injured list in late May due to right forearm discomfort and is now set to miss the rest of the 2024 campaign. Javier will also be sidelined until at least the second half of 2025 as he rehabs from the surgery. It's been a rough week for Houston pitchers, as Jose Urquidy (elbow) is also in danger of needing the procedure. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
       
    • Cristian Javier to undergo Tommy John surgery
      The Athletic’s Chandler Rome reports Cristian Javier will undergo Tommy John surgery.

      Advice: It’s a significant hit to Houston’s already razor-thin starting pitching depth as Javier has been a mainstay in their starting rotation for the last three seasons and boasts a stellar 3.59 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 27 percent strikeout rate over 501 innings (116 appearances, 82 starts) in the majors since 2020. Given the timing of the procedure, he’s likely to miss the overwhelming majority of the 2025 campaign as well. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago
       
    • Out for season
      Middleton (forearm) will undergo surgery next week to repair his right flexor tendon and will miss the rest of the season, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

      Advice: The timing of Middleton's surgery will allow him to return at some point during the 2025 campaign. He signed a one-year deal with St. Louis in February with a $6 million club option for 2025, though the Cardinals' decision on whether or not to bring him back will likely depend on how much of the next season he's expected to miss.

    • Kyle Freeland (elbow) throws bullpen session Tuesday
      Kyle Freeland (elbow) threw a 40-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday at Coors Field.

      Advice: Freeland was transferred to the 60-day injured list last month as he recovers from a left elbow strain, so it’s an encouraging development that he’s throwing without any issues already. The 31-year-old southpaw should be ready to return at some point in late June or early July. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago
       
    • Keynan Middleton to undergo season-ending surgery
      Keynan Middleton will undergo season-ending flexor tendon surgery.

      Advice: Middleton signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Cardinals back in early February and won’t end up throwing a pitch this season for the club. The 30-year-old righty landed on the shelf back in mid-March with a forearm strain and suffered multiple setbacks over the last few months before ultimately opting for season-ending surgery.

    • Beginning rehab assignment
      The Padres sent Otto (shoulder) to the Arizona Complex League on Tuesday to begin a rehab assignment.

      Advice: A right teres major strain has kept Otto on the shelf since spring training, though he now seems ready to test his shoulder in a competitive environment. The Padres have not specified how long the 28-year-old reliever's assignment might last, but an extended stay may be necessary after being shut down for more than two months.
