  • Continuing recovery at Arizona
    Bradford (rib/back) is throwing a bullpen session Friday and then will be sent to the Rangers' Arizona Complex League affiliate, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Bradford has been sidelined since April with a lower back strain and a stress fracture in his rib. However, he's been making steady progression in June and will continue his recovery process in Arizona. While it's unclear when Bradford will start facing hitters, a return shortly after the All-Star break seems feasible. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • Slight chance at 2024 return
    Graveman (shoulder) is in the middle of a throwing program and has a chance at returning in September, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Graveman underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum and clean up his rotator cuff January 10 and was expected to miss the entirety of the 2024 campaign. However, he's been participating in a throwing program and hasn't ruled out a return late in the regular season. Still, Graveman has plenty of steps to complete before reaching that point.

  • Kendall Graveman (shoulder) could return in 2024
    Kendall Graveman (shoulder) told reporters on Friday that he’s in the middle of a throwing program and there’s at least an outside chance that he could return before the 2024 season concludes.

    Advice: Graveman underwent surgery in mid-January to repair a torn labrum and clean up the rotator cuff in his right shoulder. The initial expectation was that he would miss the entire 2024 season — and that’s still the most likely scenario — but if everything goes according to plan and he suffers no setbacks along the way, there’s a chance Graveman could return at some point in September.

    Advice: Hartwig made four appearances for the Mets this season but has spent most of his time at Triple-A Syracuse, where he's logged a 2.31 ERA across 23.1 innings. He'll be sidelined until at least August as he recovers from the torn meniscus. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
     
  • Marlins outright Kent Emanuel to Triple-A
    Marlins sent LHP Kent Emanuel outright to Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: The 32-year-old left-hander had been designated for assignment on Wednesday, but he passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the Marlins. Emanuel holds a 7.56 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and a 6/3 K/BB ratio over 8 1/3 innings with the Marlins this season. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago
     
  • Yankees recall Yoendrys Gomez from Triple-A
    Yankees recalled RHP Yoendrys Gomez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Advice: The 24-year-old hurler has made just one appearance with the Yankees this season — striking out all three hitters that he faced in emphatic fashion. He has also impressed at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre where he posted a 3.13 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 54/26 K/BB ratio over 46 innings in his 12 starts. He’ll add length to a Yankees’ bullpen that has been overworked recently. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
     
  • Reinstated from IL
    Junis (shoulder) was activated from the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: After making the Brewers' rotation to start the season, Junis only made one start before being placed on the IL with a pinched nerve in his throwing shoulder. A few weeks later, his recovery was delayed after being hit by a ball in the head during batting practice. However, after two months, Junis will finally return to Milwaukee's active roster. While he threw a four-inning simulated game this week, Junis is expected to work out of the bullpen before eventually re-entering the rotation. Bradley Blalock was optioned to Double-A Biloxi in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
     
  • Padres recall Tom Cosgrove from Triple-A El Paso
    Padres recalled LHP Tom Cosgrove from Triple-A El Paso.

    Advice: The Padres wanted to add a fresh arm to their bullpen over the weekend, so Cosgrove will get another opportunity with the big-league club. The 28-year-old southpaw has been hit exceptionally hard in 10 appearances out of the Padres’ bullpen this season, posting a 10.50 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and a 13/5 K/BB ratio across 12 innings. Adam Mazur was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move on Friday. Rotoworld 56 minutes ago
