  • Set to begin rehab assignment
    Brebbia (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Brebbia is eligible for activation from the 15-day injured list on Sunday, and it would appear he could be back at that time if he can get through Friday's rehab appearance without any hiccups. The veteran reliever has been out the last two weeks with a right calf strain, which was an apparent aggravation of an injury he initially suffered back in February. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago

  • Slated for live BP Sunday
    Steele (hamstring) will throw a live batting practice session Sunday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: If Steele gets through the live BP with no issues, he could be cleared to begin a rehab assignment. The left-hander is working his way back from a left hamstring strain which he suffered back on Opening Day. It's not clear at this point how many rehab starts he might be asked to make before rejoining the Cubs' rotation. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago
     
  • Set for MLB debut Saturday
    Munoz will be recalled from Triple-A Jacksonville by the Marlins to start one of the games in Saturday's doubleheader versus the Cubs, Isaac Azout of SBNation.com reports.

    Advice: It will be the major-league debut for Munoz, who was acquired via trade from the Pirates over the offseason. The 24-year-old has had a rough start to the season with Jacksonville, allowing 14 runs (13 earned) with a 7:12 K:BB over 10.2 frames. Munoz is not an advisable fantasy streamer.

  • Ian Gibaut’s (forearm) return from IL delayed
    Reds RHP Ian Gibaut (forearm) continues to have discomfort and his return has been pushed back.

    Advice: The 30-year-old was placed on the 15-day injured list prior to Opening Day, but the right-handed reliever will now be sidelined for longer than expected. Everything seemed like it was heading in the right direction for Gibaut, so this setback is disappointing to here. We’ll have to wait and see how the team wants to designate him moving forward.

  • Spins seven scoreless innings
    Webb (2-1) picked up the win Thursday, allowing two hits and one walk with five strikeouts over seven scoreless innings against Arizona.

    Advice: Webb was exceptional Thursday, making it through seven innings for a third straight start. The two hits Webb allowed came on the first two batters he faced Thursday, but he managed to retire the next 19 batters he faced after the pair of hits. Webb has allowed two or fewer runs in four of his five appearances this season, boasting a 2.93 ERA across 30.2 innings pitched. He's tentatively scheduled for a matchup with the Mets on Tuesday.

  • Replaces injured starter
    Allen (0-1) was tagged with Thursday's loss, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out three over 4.2 relief innings against the Giants.

    Advice: Allen, who had his contract selected Wednesday and was set to serve as Arizona's long reliever, was needed immediately. The left-hander entered the third inning in place of starter Ryne Nelson, who had taken a liner off his elbow during the final out of the second inning. Allen allowed all three hits and the lone run in that first inning of work. He then settled in, utilizing a changeup that's been effective for him at Triple Reno according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, and gave Arizona a chance when he departed with two outs in the seventh and the Giants leading, 1-0. Nelson may have avoided serious injury -- X-rays came back negative -- but the club will see how he responds Friday before making any decisions. If he's unable to make his next start, scheduled for Tuesday, Allen is a sensible option as a fill-in starter. Rotowire.com Today, 5:39 am
     
  • Set to throw from flat ground
    Cobb (hip) had a clean MRI on his shoulder and will throw from flat ground Friday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Cobb has dealt with both elbow and shoulder pain while working his way back from hip surgery. However, he's now set to resume throwing for the first time since April 1. Given his inability to ramp up consistently, Cobb will likely need several weeks before he's ready to return to a big-league mound. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:48 pm

  • Logan Allen bails out Arizona with 4 2/3 frames in relief
    Logan Allen allowed one run over 4 2/3 innings on Thursday in relief against the Giants.

    Advice: Allen saved Arizona’s bullpen with nearly five frames at Oracle Park following starter Ryne Nelson’s early exit from the contest after just two frames due to a right elbow contusion. He struck out three and only issued one walk. It was his first appearance in the majors since May 15, 2022. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:57 pm
