  • 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 4 minutes ago

  • Taking swings in cage
    Manager Scott Servais said Tuesday that Crawford (oblique) took swings in the batting cages at the team's complex in Arizona, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Advice: Servais added that Crawford will progress to hitting on the field with the hopes of swinging at full strength this weekend. If the 29-year-old shortstop is able to do that without any problems, he will embark on a brief rehab assignment before returning to the Mariners' lineup. Crawford had gone 5-for-16 with four RBI across his last four games before landing on the injured list April 25. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

  • Available Tuesday
    Martin (shoulder) threw a bullpen session and is available for Tuesday's game in Atlanta, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: The right-hander has been dealing with an injury to his left shoulder over the past few days but is now ready to take the mound. Martin was a dominant setup option last season with a 1.05 ERA in 55 outings, but he's struggled early in 2024 with a 5.11 ERA across 12.1 innings. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Returning this weekend
    Astros manager Joe Espada said Tuesday that Javier (neck) will return from the injured list this weekend to start against the Tigers, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

    Advice: Javier will return this weekend after missing just under a month due to the neck issue, though it's unclear exactly which day he'll take the mound in Detroit. The 27-year-old threw 68 pitches over 3.1 frames in his lone rehab outing and may face some minor workload limitations in his first outing back with the Astros. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Making another rehab start
    Megill (shoulder) will make another rehab start for Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: Megill has fared well across his first two rehab outings, giving up one earned run through 4.2 innings while striking out 10 batters without surrendering a walk. If Sunday's start ends up being the 28-year-old's final rehab appearance, he would be lined up to potentially start for the Mets on Friday in Miami. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Playing long toss
    Green (shoulder) has progressed to playing long toss, and the team is hopeful he can throw off a mound later this week, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Green has been on the injured list since April 20 due to a teres major strain in his right shoulder. A clearer timeline on his return may emerge once he gets back on a mound, but he figures to still be at least a week or two away from rejoining Toronto's bullpen. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Bowden Francis (forearm) to return as reliever
    Bowden Francis (forearm) is scheduled to throw a two-inning bullpen session on Tuesday.

    Advice: Francis is expected to return in a multi-inning relief role later this month once he wraps up a minor league rehab assignment. The 28-year-old righty was highly effective in a relief role last year and struggled earlier this year as a traditional starter before landing on the injured list in late April with right forearm tendinitis.

  • Throwing off mound
    Francis (forearm) threw a bullpen session Monday and is slated to throw two simulated innings Thursday, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Barring any sort of setback, Francis is expected to embark on a rehab assignment shortly after his simulated game Thursday. He will serve as a starter while on his assignment, but he will likely be limited to a long relief role once he returns to the Blue Jays. The 28-year-old righty posted an 8.59 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across 14.2 innings before landing on the injured list April 25. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Luis García Jr. (wrist) in lineup Tuesday vs. O’s
    Luis García Jr. (wrist) is in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Orioles.

    Advice: It’s an extremely encouraging sign that García is healthy and ready to go following an early exit from Sunday’s series finale against the Blue Jays due to left wrist soreness. The 23-year-old former top prospect has gotten off to a phenomenal start this season, batting .337 (33-for-98) with three homers and six steals in 29 contests. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago
