    • Throwing off mound Wednesday
      Olson (hip) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

      Advice: Olson had to make an early exit from his start Monday against the Royals after taking a comebacker off his right hip. The right-hander managed to escape the incident with nothing more than a bruise, but the Tigers will have him throw a bullpen session to make sure Olson will be able to make his next scheduled start Saturday against Toronto.

    • Rejoining rotation Wednesday
      Pepiot (lower leg) will be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: The 26-year-old righty landed on the shelf with a bruised lower left leg after his May 5 start versus the Mets, but he'll return Wednesday after being sidelined for the 15-day minimum. Any workload limitations for Pepiot will likely be minor, given the brevity of his absence. Rotowire.com Today, 3:22 pm

    • Throws bullpen session
      Miller (elbow) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

      Advice: Tuesday marks the first time Miller has thrown off a mound since landing on the injured list last Monday with right ulnar nerve inflammation. He will presumably throw a few more bullpens before progressing to facing live hitters, but there is still a chance the 33-year-old reliever returns to Detroit's bullpen when eligible next Tuesday.

    • Matt Manning starting Friday vs. Blue Jays
      Matt Manning will start on Friday against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: The Tigers are waiting until Kenta Maeda (illness) throws a bullpen session on Wednesday or Thursday before determining his next steps. It’s possible he’ll be ready to take the ball at some point this weekend, but for now it’ll be Manning drawing another start for Detroit. Rotoworld Today, 3:12 pm
    • Dustin May (elbow) throws first bullpen session
      Dustin May (elbow) threw his first bullpen session on Tuesday since undergoing flexor tendon surgery last July.

      Advice: May is aiming to return to Los Angeles at some point later this year as he works his way back from last year’s surgery, which also included a UCL revision on his right elbow. The 26-year-old righty was one of the most promising young pitchers in baseball a few years ago, but he’s been derailed by injuries. Rotoworld Today, 3:08 pm
    • Heading for second opinion
      Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that Alzolay (forearm) will receive a second opinion on his flexor strain, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

      Advice: The right-hander landed on the injured list with a flexor strain last week, and news of a second opinion isn't an encouraging development. Alzolay remains without a clear timeline for his return and should be considered out indefinitely as he continues to be evaluated. Rotowire.com Today, 3:00 pm
    • Making next rehab start Friday
      Uquidy (forearm) will make a rehab start Friday with Triple-A Sugar Land, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The right-hander threw 59 pitches in his previous outing Saturday and is expected to build up to 70-to-75 pitches Friday. If all goes well, Urquidy could step into Houston's rotation during the four-game series in Seattle next week. Rotowire.com Today, 2:45 pm

    • Returning from suspension Sunday
      Blanco (suspension) will be added to Houston's active roster to start Sunday at Oakland, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The Astros unsurprisingly won't waste any time reinserting Blanco into the rotation upon the completion of his 10-game ban. The right-hander threw live batting practice Monday and shouldn't face any significant limitations in his first start back. Rotowire.com Today, 2:42 pm

    • Cash: Ryan Pepiot starting Wednesday vs. Red Sox
      Ryan Pepiot (leg) will start on Wednesday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Pepiot will be activated to take the ball on Wednesday against Boston after landing on the injured list earlier this month with a leg bruise after being hit by a 107.5 mph comebacker. The 26-year-old righty gets a decent matchup right away against the Red Sox at pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field. Rotoworld Today, 2:42 pm
