  • Corbin Carroll not in lineup Tuesday vs. southpaw
    Corbin Carroll is absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s contest against the Giants.

    Advice: Carroll was dropped to the eighth spot in Arizona’s lineup earlier this week for the first time this season and will take a seat on Tuesday evening for the first time since May 15 with lefty Kyle Harrison toeing the rubber for San Francisco in this one. The 23-year-old has struggled to a calamitous .561 OPS with two homers and nine steals through 58 games. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
     
  • Completes 40-50 pitch bullpen
    Gray (groin) threw 40-50 pitches during a bullpen, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reported Tuesday.

    Advice: Gray becomes eligible to come off the 15-day IL on Friday, and while the next step in Gray's rehab should be announced soon, it's expected that he'll be available to return on or around that date. Once Gray is reinstated, Jose Urena will likely be pushed out of the rotation. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

  • Max Scherzer (thumb) throws simulated game Tuesday
    Max Scherzer (thumb) threw a two-inning simulated game on Tuesday at Globe Life Field.

    Advice: Scherzer, who has been dealing with a thumb issue during his rehabilitation process from offseason back surgery, threw roughly 40 pitches in his latest throwing session. The 39-year-old righty told reporters afterwards that he hopes to head out soon on another minor league rehab assignment. There isn’t a definitive timetable for his return, but it’s not unrealistic to think he could return prior to the All-Star break. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago

  • Throws live batting practice
    Scherzer (back/arm) threw a 40-pitch live batting practice session Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    Advice: It's the first time he's faced hitters since he had to be pulled off a rehab assignment in early May following a nerve problem with his throwing arm. Scherzer -- who initially went on the injured list as he recovered from offseason back surgery -- said after Tuesday's session that he's hoping his next step will be to make a rehab start. There remains no timetable for the 38-year-old return to the Rangers' rotation, but things are trending up. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago

  • Ranger Suárez trending towards starting in London
    Ranger Suárez (thumb) played catch on Tuesday without any issues or limitations.

    Advice: Phillies manager Rob Thomson told reporters Suárez is slated to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday and is trending towards taking the ball this weekend in London against the Mets. The 28-year-old southpaw is reportedly feeling much better of late after being hit by a comebacker last Saturday against the Cardinals. X-rays came back negative and it looks like he’ll be ready to take the ball this weekend. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago

  • Masataka Yoshida starting rehab assignment this weekend
    Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed Tuesday that Masataka Yoshida (thumb) is expected to start a minor league rehab assignment this weekend.

    Advice: Yoshida has been on the shelf since the start of May due to a left thumb strain, but managed to avoid surgery. The 30-year-old is going to need some time to get back up to speed in the minors before returning to Boston’s lineup mix at designated hitter. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
