  • Guardians outright Tyler Beede to Triple-A
    Guardians sent RHP Tyler Beede outright to Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: Beede went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week by the Guardians after struggling to an inflated 8.36 ERA over 14 innings (13 appearances) in his first stint back in the majors since 2022. The 30-year-old righty will most likely wind up electing free agency. Rotoworld Today, 3:27 pm
     
  • Angels release righty Zac Kristofak on Tuesday
    Angels released RHP Zac Kristofak.

    Advice: Kristofak made one relief appearance last month for the Angels before being designated for assignment last week. The 26-year-old righty presumably went unclaimed on waivers and is now a free agent. Rotoworld Today, 3:18 pm
     
  • 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 Today, 2:58 pm
     
  • 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 Today, 2:54 pm
     
  • 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 Today, 2:51 pm
     
  • 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 Today, 2:43 pm
     
  • 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 Today, 2:33 pm
