  • Will start Saturday
    Estes will be recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas to start Saturday's game against the Mariners, Martin Gallegos of MLB.comreports.

    Advice: Estes has accumulated a 6.04 ERA and 1.46 WHIP across 28.1 innings in Triple-A, but he will come up from the minors for his season debut nonetheless. The 22-year-old right-hander gave up eight earned runs in major-league innings last season, and he isn't a recommended streaming option for Saturday. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Officially activated
    The Mariners reinstated Woo (elbow) from the 15-day injured list prior to his start Friday versus Oakland.

    Advice: Woo will be making his season debut Friday versus the A's after missing the first month-plus of the season due to right elbow inflammation. The 24-year-old was spectacular during his rehab assignment, striking out 17 batters in 11.1 scoreless innings, and he'll have a chance to stay hot against a below-average Athletics lineup. Tyson Miller was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago

  • Shifting to bullpen
    Thomas Harding of MLB.comRockies manager Bud Black said Friday that Lambert will be moving out of the rotation to the bullpen, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Lambert has started in three games for the Rockies this season, giving up at least four runs in each of them. In his last outing against the Cubs on Thursday, Lambert allowed seven runs on nine hits while striking out two over three innings. The right-hander has a 7.61 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over 23.2 innings this season. Southpaw Ty Blach has one start on the season and he could serve as a spot starter for Colorado moving forward with Lambert moving to the bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 3:07 pm
     
  • Mariners activate Bryan Woo for Friday start
    Mariners activated RHP Bryan Woo from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: As expected, the 24-year-old right-hander will rejoin the Mariners’ rotation on Friday night against the Athletics. Woo has been shelved since the end of March due to inflammation in his pitching elbow but looked sharp on his minor league rehab assignment. He shouldn’t have any workload restrictions in his season debut on Friday night. Rotoworld Today, 2:57 pm

  • Resumes throwing
    Musgrove (elbow) played catch Friday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    Advice: Friday marks the first time Musgrove has played catch since he landed on the injured list Sunday due to right elbow inflammation. The 31-year-old righty said everything looked good after receiving an MRI and still expects to return from the injured list when eligible next Friday. He currently owns a 6.37 ERA and 1.51 WHIP across 41 innings this season. Rotowire.com Today, 2:55 pm
     
  • Ramping up activity
    Matz (back) played catch off the mound Friday in St. Louis, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Matz has been on the 15-day injured list since May 3 while dealing with a lower-back strain, more specifically a protruding disc, but manager Oli Marmol said Friday that the expectation for the left-hander is for him to throw at a higher intensity Monday. It's unclear how close Matz is to returning to game action, but prior to being activated from the injured list, he'll likely have to make at least one rehab start with a minor-league affiliate.

  • Brewers designate Corbin Martin for assignment
    Brewers designated RHP Corbin Maritn for assignment.

    Advice: Faced with a 40-man roster crunch on Friday, it looks like Martin drew the short straw this time around. The 28-year-old hurler hasn’t pitched in the big leagues since 2022 and holds a 6.71 ERA and a 1.89 WHIP over 57 2/3 innings in his career at the game’s highest level. Rotoworld Today, 2:19 pm

  • Dealing with back stiffness
    Cubs manager Craig Counsell said that Taillon was scratched from Friday's start against the Pirates due to back stiffness, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Taillon felt his back act up Tuesday when playing catch, and it has persisted enough for his slated start for the series opener to be pushed back. Counsell noted that the back issue is not as bad as the one Taillon sustained in spring training that caused the right-hander to start the season on the 15-day IL. Taillon will be re-evaluated Saturday, and there's a chance he takes the mound in the series finale Sunday. Javier Assad will start Friday while Justin Steele will take to the mound Saturday.

  • Brewers option Tobias Myers back to Triple-A
    Brewers optioned RHP Tobias Myers to Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: The 25-year-old hurler lasted just four starts in the Brewers’ rotation, registering an underwhelming 5.29 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and a 17/9 K/BB ratio over 17 innings of work. He’ll continue to serve as extra rotation depth at the Triple-A level until the Brewers need an extra starter again. Rotoworld Today, 2:14 pm
