    • Gerrit Cole throws another bullpen session Tuesday
      Gerrit Cole (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Tuesday.

      Advice: Cole is scheduled to throw another bullpen session this weekend and is apparently looking at a mid-June return timetable at this point. The 33-year-old reigning AL Cy Young Award winner should progress to facing hitters at some point in the coming weeks before heading out on a minor league rehab assignment.

    • Nearing rehab assignment
      Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Dominguez (elbow) is "inside two weeks" to begin a rehab assignment, Chris Kirschner of The Athleticreports.

      Advice: The 21-year-old's rehab from Tommy John surgery has apparently been progressing nicely, and he's close to being cleared for game action. Dominguez will require a lengthy rehab assignment before being reinstated, but he appears on track to return before the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Today, 3:22 pm
       
    • Jasson Domínguez nearing rehab assignment
      Jasson Domínguez (elbow) will begin a minor league rehab assignment in mid-to-late May.

      Advice: Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Tuesday that Domínguez, who is recovering from last year’s Tommy John surgery, is less than two weeks away from getting into rehab games. He’s expected to be ready to rejoin New York’s outfield mix at some point next month. The 21-year-old top prospect impressed last year in his first taste of the majors and figures to make an impact for fantasy managers this summer. Rotoworld Today, 3:08 pm
       
    • Sliding back to setup role
      Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Ginkel will go back to a setup role upon the return of Paul Sewald (oblique), Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

      Advice: Lovullo wants to throw Sewald back into the closer role immediately, saying that if a save opportunity should arise Tuesday, it would go to Sewald. Ginkel filled in admirably as the temporary closer, going 5-for-7 in save chances while posting a 2.57 ERA and 14:3 K:BB over 14 innings. Certainly, it's a major hit to his fantasy value as he shifts back to being a setup man. Rotowire.com Today, 1:49 pm
       
    • Taking batting practice
      Thomas (knee) will take full batting practice on the field Tuesday, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: It will be his first time doing so since he went down with a left MCL sprain in his knee two weeks ago. Thomas will need to do some running and other drills before being cleared for a rehab assignment, but he seems to be making nice progress. Rotowire.com Today, 1:35 pm

      Advice: Cole is continuing to progress toward returning after throwing off a mound May 4 for the first time since being placed on the injured list in March. He tossed another bullpen session Tuesday without a setback and is expected to continue to ramp up his throwing efforts in the coming weeks.

    • D-backs activate Paul Sewald for Tuesday return
      Diamondbacks activated RHP Paul Sewald from the 15-day injured list.

      Advice: Sewald has been sidelined since the beginning of the regular season with a left oblique strain. The 33-year-old veteran, who finished with a 3.12 ERA, 1.15 WHIP with both the Mariners and Diamondbacks last season, will slide back as the D-backs’ closer which puts an end to Kevin Ginkel’s brief stint in the role.

      The Diamondbacks reinstated Sewald (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

      Advice: The 33-year-old right-hander has been sidelined by an oblique strain but is ready to rejoin the team following three rehab appearances. Manager Torey Lovullo said Tuesday that Sewald will immediately reclaim the closer role, per Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic. Kevin Ginkel -- who has tallied five saves with a 2.57 ERA in 14 appearances -- will return to a setup role. Rotowire.com Today, 12:39 pm
