    • Nick Pivetta making rehab start on Thursday
      Nick Pivetta (elbow) is scheduled to make a minor league rehab start on Thursday.

      Advice: Pivetta is targeting an early-May return to Boston’s starting rotation after landing on the injured list back on April 9 with a flexor strain in his right elbow. The 31-year-old righty is only expected to require one rehab outing before returning. It’s unclear whether he’ll have any initial workload restrictions yet. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:38 pm

    • Rehab start Thursday
      Pivetta (elbow) is pencilled in to make a rehab start Thursday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

      Advice: He threw 50 pitches in a live batting practice session Saturday, so Pivetta may only need one rehab outing before rejoining the big-league rotation. If he does return after Thursday's rehab start, Pivetta would line up to start in the two-game series in Atlanta on either May 8 or May 9. Rotowire.com Saturday, 1:01 pm

    • Throws 50-pitch session
      After throwing a 50-pitch live batting practice session Saturday, Pivetta (elbow) noted that he was able to throw all his pitches and was happy with his outing, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Pivetta continues to make progress in his rehab from a right elbow flexor strain that landed him on the 15-day IL on April 9. Before landing on the IL, Pivetta went 1-1 over two starts, allowing one run on eight hits while striking out 13 over 11 frames. Rotowire.com Saturday, 9:53 am

    • Nick Pivetta (elbow) targeting early May return
      Nick Pivetta (elbow) faced hitters on Saturday in a live batting practice session.

      Advice: The tentative plan is for Pivetta to make a minor league rehab start later next week before returning to Boston’s starting rotation the following week to take the ball during a brief two-game set against the Braves. The 31-year-old righty has been on the shelf since early April due to a mild right elbow strain. Rotoworld Saturday, 8:39 am

    • MRI comes back clean on Pete Fairbanks’ arm
      An MRI on Pete Fairbanks’ right arm came back clean for any structural damage.

      Advice: Fairbanks landed on the injured list earlier this week with an undisclosed nerve-related condition, so it’s at least an encouraging development that additional imaging didn’t turn up any structural damage. The 30-year-old righty has indicated that his latest issue is unrelated to previous flareups of Raynaud’s syndrome that he’s dealt with. Given the uncertainty surrounding his diagnosis, there isn’t a clear timetable for his return. Rotoworld Saturday, 8:14 am
       
    • Tests come back clean
      Fairbanks (arm) has no structural damage to his arm, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Fairbanks had an MRI done Tuesday and then had unspecified additional testing done later in the week. All exams came back clean, which is good news and provides some optimism that he'll avoid a lengthy absence. However, both Fairbanks and the team have cautioned that he does not have a timeline to be activated from the injured list. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:29 am
       
    • Throwing live batting practice
      Pivetta (elbow) will throw a 50-pitch live batting practice session Saturday, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

      Advice: If Pivetta comes out the live BP session without any hiccups, he should be cleared to make a rehab start next week. That would probably set him up to rejoin the Red Sox rotation the following week if all goes well. Pivetta has been out since early April with a right elbow flexor strain.

    • Will make rehab start
      Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Thursday that Pivetta (elbow) will make at least one rehab start before rejoining the rotation, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

      Advice: The initial hope was that Pivetta could return from a right elbow flexor strain following a minimum stint on the injured list. That hasn't happened, as he's already missed more than 15 days. However, the right-hander has resumed throwing off a mound and is scheduled to throw a live batting practice session at Fenway Park on Saturday. If all goes well, Pivetta could make his rehab start late next week before potentially returning from the IL in the second week of May. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:40 am

    • Rays officially place Pete Fairbanks on IL
      Rays placed RHP Pete Fairbanks on the 15-day injured list due to a nerve-related condition.

      Advice: Fairbanks was unavailable over the weekend at Yankee Stadium due to a stomach illness, but now the Rays will have to make due for a while. Fairbanks has previously dealt with Reynaud’s syndrome, though it’s unclear if he’s dealing with the same symptoms now. Jason Adam would be the presumed favorite for save chances, though the Rays are no strangers to mixing it up. Rotoworld Apr 22, 12:21 pm
