    The Athletics placed Medina on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 25, with a right knee MCL sprain.

    Advice: Medina suffered the injury in early March during a Cactus League appearance. There is no timetable for the right-hander's return, but he could miss much of the first chunk of the season. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago

  • Placed on 15-day IL
    The Rockies placed Gilbreath on the 15-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 25, with a left elbow injury.

    Advice: Gilbreath is still working his way back from Tommy John surgery, although the plan has been for him to face hitters before the end of March. It's not clear when the left-hander might be ready for his season debut. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
  • Heads to IL
    The Astros placed Ortega (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Ortega is facing a recovery timeline of 3-to-4 months after he underwent surgery last week to remove loose bodies from his right elbow. The 27-year-old reliever could be a candidate to shift to the 60-day IL later in the season when the Astros need to make room on the 40-man roster for another player.

  • Lands on 60-day IL
    The Athletics placed Newcomb on the 60-day injured list Thursday, retroactive to March 25, with left knee inflammation.

    Advice: Newcomb had knee surgery last September but did make four appearances this spring, so he evidently must have suffered a setback if a 60-day IL stint was deemed appropriate. It's not clear whether the A's plan to bring the left-hander back as a starter or reliever. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago

    The Astros placed Murfee (elbow) on the 15-day injured list Thursday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Murfree, whom Houston claimed off waivers from Atlanta earlier this week, isn't expected to be ready to pitch in games until late in the 2024 season -- if at all -- while he completes his recovery from the Tommy John surgery he underwent last July. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

  • Shelved with forearm strain
    The Astros placed Dubin on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right forearm strain, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Dubin didn't pitch in any Grapefruit League games this spring while recovering from what prior reports had described as shoulder inflammation, but the Astros are now labeling his injury as a forearm strain. The right-hander was able to face hitters earlier this week, so he could soon be ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago

    The Yankees placed Kahnle (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: Kahnle wasn't able to pitch in any Grapefruit League games after a bout with right shoulder inflammation delayed his throwing program over the offseason and put him well behind the Yankees' other pitchers at the start of spring training. The veteran righty should be close to facing hitters if he hasn't already, but he'll likely require multiple minor-league rehab appearances before he's ready to make his 2024 debut with the Yankees.
