    • Likely returning in relief
      Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that Bradford (rib/back) has resumed throwing off a mound, and the left-hander is likely to fill a relief role once back from the injured list, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The 26-year-old was dominant in three starts for Texas with a 1.40 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 17:2 K:BB before he suffered a lower-back strain and a stress fracture in his rib, but he's not expected to rejoin the rotation once healthy. Max Scherzer is finally healthy after missing nearly the first three months of 2024, and Tyler Mahle (elbow) is also moving toward his season debut. Bradford's buildup and rehab assignment should be shorter since he's coming back as a reliever, but the Rangers are likely still looking for him to cover multiple innings and be an option for spot starts.

    • Yency Almonte gets bad news from second opinion
      Yency Almonte (shoulder) did not get great news from the second opinion that he received on his injured shoulder.

      Advice: The Cubs will have him shut down from throwing for a while before making a decision on whether or not he’ll undergo a surgical procedure of continue to go with the rest and rehab route. He shouldn’t be expected to return any time this season. Rotoworld Today, 2:59 pm

    • Sent back to Reno
      The Diamondbacks optioned Hollowell to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday.

      Advice: Hollowell joined the big-league club Tuesday, but he'll now return to the minors without appearing in a game for the D-backs. Cristian Mena will take Hollowell's place on the active roster and start Wednesday's game versus the Athletics. Rotowire.com Today, 2:44 pm
       
    • Diamondbacks option Gavin Hollowell to Triple-A
      Diamondbacks optioned RHP Gavin Hollowell to Triple-A Reno.

      Advice: The 26-year-old hurler spent just one day with the big-league club, but he’ll be sent back out to make room for Cristian Mena who will start on Wednesday evening against the Dodgers. Hollowell will continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the Diamondbacks at Triple-A Reno. Rotoworld Today, 2:44 pm
       
    • Lands on injured list
      The Brewers placed Paredes on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with right forearm tendinitis.

      Advice: Paredes has been effective in middle relief for the Brewers this season, posting a 1.08 ERA in 16.2 innings. However, he allowed a hit and two walks in just one-third of an inning during his latest outing Tuesday and appears to have come away from the appearance with an injury. As a result, he'll now be forced to sit out at least through the All-Star break. Janson Junk will come up from Triple-A Nashville to fill the opening in Milwaukee's bullpen.

    • Cody Bradford (back) resumes throwing off mound
      Rangers’ manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that Cody Bradford (back) has resumed throwing off of a mound.

      Advice: Bochy also noted that when Bradford is ready to return that he’ll be utilized as a reliever instead of a starter. That’s because with the return of Max Scherzer and with Jacob deGrom and Tyler Mahle working their way back, the rotation outlook looks very muddled. From a fantasy perspective, it’s hard to envision Bradford making much of an impact upon his return if he’s not pitching out of the rotation. Rotoworld Today, 2:16 pm

    • Brewers place Enoli Paredes (forearm) on 15-day IL
      Brewers placed RHP Enoli Paredes on the 15-day injured list with right forearm tendinitis.

      Advice: The severity of the injury — and how much time Paredes may stand to miss — are not yet known. It’s a big blow to the Brewers’ bullpen though as Paredes has been outstanding this season, posting a 1.08 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and a 12/8 K/BB ratio over 16 2/3 innings. Janson Junk was recalled from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move to take his place in the Brewers’ bullpen. Rotoworld Today, 2:09 pm
       
    • Shifts to 60-day IL
      The Twins transferred Stewart (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

      Advice: The right-hander has been on the shelf with shoulder tendinitis since early May, so the move to the 60-day IL won't affect his return timeline. Stewart has progressed to facing live batters this week and could soon begin a rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Today, 1:53 pm

    • Twins transfer Brock Stewart to 60-day IL
      Twins transferred RHP Brock Stewart to the 60-day injured list.

      Advice: There haven’t been any setbacks in the 32-year-old hurler’s recovery from shoulder tendinitis, this was merely done as a procedural move to free up a spot on the team’s 40-man roster for the promotion of Brooks Lee on Wednesday. Stewart is tentatively scheduled to rejoin the Twins’ bullpen before the end of July. Rotoworld Today, 1:42 pm
