    • Nick Pivetta making rehab start on Thursday
      Nick Pivetta (elbow) is scheduled to make a minor league rehab start on Thursday.

      Advice: Pivetta is targeting an early-May return to Boston’s starting rotation after landing on the injured list back on April 9 with a flexor strain in his right elbow. The 31-year-old righty is only expected to require one rehab outing before returning. It’s unclear whether he’ll have any initial workload restrictions yet. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago

    • Yariel Rodríguez dealing with back soreness
      Yariel Rodríguez is dealing with back soreness.

      Advice: Not great. Rodríguez appears questionable to make his next start on Sunday against the Nationals after allowing two runs over 3 2/3 innings on Monday in an abbreviated outing against the Royals. The 27-year-old righty could wind up either heading to the injured list or merely having his next turn skipped this weekend. It would presumably be Alek Manoah, who is pitching on Tuesday night at Triple-A Buffalo, coming up to make a spot start if he’s unable to go. There should be some clarity on his status in the coming days. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
    • Rehab start delayed
      Scherzer's (back) rehab start with Double-A Frisco on Tuesday will be pushed back to thumb soreness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The thumb issue apparently surfaced following Scherzer's start with Triple-A Round Rock on April 24, so he'll have his next outing pushed back. Rangers GM Chris Young hopes the veteran right-hander will be ready to pitch by the end of the week, so it doesn't appear to be a serious issue. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

    • Out to 90 feet Tuesday
      Luzardo (elbow) will extend his catch out to 90 feet Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Working his way back from a mild left flexor strain, Luzardo played catch Monday and will do so for a second straight day Tuesday. He will continue with a throwing progression as tolerated. Luzardo is eligible to return May 10, but there's no timetable for him yet. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
    • Dealing with back soreness
      Rodriguez is experiencing back soreness after Monday's start against the Royals and is considered day-to-day, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

      Advice: Rodriguez's back issues flared up again following Monday's 3.2-inning start, an issue that bothered him throughout spring training. With his next scheduled start coming Sunday at Washington, Rodriguez will have some time to heal up. However, with Alek Manoah (shoulder) nearing a return, making what's likely to be his last rehab start Tuesday, the Blue Jays could push Rodriguez back to the bullpen and give Manoah the ball Sunday.

    • Royals recall reliever Colin Selby on Tuesday
      Royals recalled RHP Colin Selby from Triple-A Omaha.

      Advice: Selby joins Kansas City’s active roster ahead of Tuesday’s showdown against Toronto after being acquired earlier this month from the Pirates in a small trade. The 26-year-old righty made 21 appearances (five starts) last year in his big-league debut. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
    • Availability uncertain
      Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Kimbrel is receiving treatment for his back, and it's unclear if the closer will be available for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: The 35-year-old was labeled day-to-day after he exited Sunday's game against the A's with back tightness, and his availability for Tuesday remains up in the air. Yennier Cano is the likely candidate to step in for a save chance should Kimbrel be unavailable, although Danny Coulombe got the save Monday. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
    • Royals option Jonathan Bowlan to Triple-A
      Royals optioned RHP Jonathan Bowlan to Triple-A Omaha.

      Advice: Bowlan heads back to the minors after being lit up for four runs over 2 2/3 innings on Monday in a spot start against the Blue Jays. The 27-year-old righty figures to be back at some point, but is going to get some time back in the minors to regroup. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
    • Craig Kimbrel (back) resumes throwing Tuesday
      Craig Kimbrel (back) resumed throwing on Tuesday.

      Advice: It doesn’t sound like Kimbrel is headed for the injured list, but it’s unclear whether he’ll be available for Tuesday’s showdown against the Yankees. The 35-year-old veteran closer underwent additional treatment on Tuesday and remains day-to-day with back tightness. It would presumably be Yennier Cano taking the ball, if he’s unavailable, if a save situation arises. Rotoworld 34 minutes ago
