  • Set for rehab assignment
    Williamson (shoulder) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on May 9, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: Williamson has missed the entirety of the 2024 campaign to this point while nursing a left shoulder strain, but he appears to be on the cusp of returning to the mound. He'll likely need to make a few starts with Louisville before he can be activated from the injured list. The southpaw produced a 4.46 ERA and 1.28 WHIP with 98 strikeouts over 117 innings in 23 starts with the Reds last season and he figures to be a valuable addition to their starting rotation once healthy.

  • Pauses rehab assignment
    Gibaut (forearm) has been shut down from throwing, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: Gibaut was expected to throw in back-to-back games sometime this week, but he's been shut down after experiencing "persistent issues", per Wittenmyer. Gibaut is set to undergo another examination in the coming days, at which point the club should have a better idea on the next steps in his rehab. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Set for live BP
    Alexander (ribs) is expected to throw live batting practice Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Alexander continues to progress in his recovery from a left rib contusion and he'll take the next step in his rehab process Tuesday. The 34-year-old has missed the entirety of the 2024 season to this point and he'll still likely have a multi-outing rehab assignment before he'll be able to return to the major-league bullpen down the road.

    Advice: Medina is on track to toss another side session Tuesday, and if all goes well, he could be given the green light to face live hitters later in the week. While the right-hander continues to trend in the right direction, the team has yet to disclose when he could be sent out on a rehab assignment. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago

  • Set for bullpen session
    Tarnok (hip) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session and live BP later in the week, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Tarnok received a cortisone injection earlier in the month after experiencing inflammation in his surgically repaired right hip, and he's now on track to return to mound work this week. The club figures to take its time easing him back into action considering the right-hander has already had a setback following surgery. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
     
  • Brandon Williamson (shoulder) to start rehab May 9
    Brandon Williamson (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment on May 9.

Williamson is dealing with a left shoulder strain that has put him out for the entirety of the season, but there’s good news in the upcoming rehab stint.

    Advice: It’s the second time that Gibaut has been shut down from his rehab, and this one comes after a cortisone shot.

  • Ken Waldichuk (elbow) throws 25-pitch live BP
    Ken Waldichuk (elbow) threw a 25-pitch live bullpen session Monday.

    Advice: Waldichuk has been on the injured list since the start of the season and isn’t eligible to return until May 27 since he was placed on the 60-day injured list. The left-hander will next throw a sim game, and if all goes well a rehab assignment will come next. He should be making starts for the Athletics by the start of June if there are no setbacks.
