• Will continue rehab assignment
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Buehler (elbow) needs at least one more rehab outing before returning to the rotation, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Buehler struggled in his rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday. He allowed two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three across 2.2 innings. Roberts noted that Buehler's execution Thursday was "not great," and the right-hander will continue his rehab assignment until his command improves. Landon Knack will stay in the Dodgers' rotation and will get at least one more start. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Walker Buehler to make one additional rehab start
    Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts told reporters on Friday that Walker Buehler (elbow) will make at least one additional minor league rehab start before joining the team’s rotation.

    Advice: The 29-year-old hurler struggled with his command in his latest start on Thursday, ultimately allowing two runs over 2 2/3 innings at Triple-A Oklahoma City — throwing a total of 68 pitches. That means that Landon Knack will stick around to start again — likely on Wednesday against the Nationals in Washington. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
     
  • Mariners push Emerson Hancock back until Sunday
    Mariners’ manager Scott Servais told reporters after Friday’s rainout that Emerson Hancock will pitch the second game of Sunday’s doubleheader against the Rockies.

    Advice: Hancock had been scheduled to start on Friday before that game got washed out. The M’s will keep Luis Castillo on schedule for Saturday though and George Kirby will start the first game of Sunday’s twin bill before Hancock works in the nightcap. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
     
  • Brett Baty (hamstring) remains out of Mets lineup
    Brett Baty (hamstring) remained out of the Mets’ starting lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Dodgers.

    Advice: The good news, is that Baty was able to go through a full workout prior to the game and hasn’t been placed on the injured list, so the Mets seem to think that he’ll be back in relatively short order. Joey Wendle will start in his place at third base on Friday and will bat ninth against Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Dodgers. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago

  • Jhoan Duran (oblique) throws live bullpen session
    Jhoan Duran (oblique) threw a successful live bullpen session on Friday in Minnesota.

    Advice: Duran is close to being sent out on a minor league rehab assignment, and could go out before the weekend is through if he wakes up feeling good on Saturday. The 26-year-old stopper has a chance to make his triumphant return to the Twins bullpen before the month of April is through. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago

  • Throws BP session Friday
    Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said Friday that Duran (oblique) threw a 21-pitch bullpen session and felt no discomfort, Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Duran was supposed to throw 20 pitches Friday, but Baldelli noted that the right-hander "wanted an extra one, so that tells you he's feeling good." It's another positive step for Duran, and he appears close to starting his rehab assignment. He started the season on the 15-day IL due to a right oblique strain he sustained in spring training.

  • Hits bench versus lefty
    Yastrzemski isn't in San Francisco's lineup for Friday's game against Arizona, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle repors.

    Advice: Left-hander Jordan Montgomery will start on the mound for the D-backs, so the left-handed bat of Yastrzemski will stay put in the dugout to begin Friday's game. His absence will allow Austin Slater to start in right field and bat in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
  • Sits down versus southpaw
    Lee isn't in the Giants' lineup for Friday's game against the Diamondbacks, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: After extending his hitting streak to 10 games with two hits Thursday, Lee will take a seat Friday against left-hander Jordan Montgomery. Tyler Fitzgerald will fill the void in center field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
     
  • Resting versus lefty
    Wade isn't in the Giants' lineup Friday versus the Diamondbacks, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
