    • Sent to bullpen
      Manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday that Hendricks will pitch out of the bullpen moving forward, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The veteran right-hander enjoyed a resurgent 2023 with a 3.74 ERA in 24 outings, but this season has been a disaster with a 10.57 ERA across 30.2 innings. A return to the rotation could be in store if Hendricks is able to get on track out of the bullpen. He has just one non-playoff relief appearance during his 11-year MLB career.

    • Luis Garcia (elbow) continues throwing program
      Luis Garcia (elbow) threw a bullpen session on Tuesday at Minute Maid Park.

      Advice: Garcia isn’t expected to return to Houston’s starting rotation mix until sometime around midseason as he continues to recover from last May’s Tommy John surgery. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago

    • José Urquidy (forearm) to make another rehab start
      José Urquidy (forearm) will make another minor league rehab start on Friday for Triple-A Sugar Land.

      Advice: Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters the hope is to build up Urquidy’s pitch count to roughly 80 in his likely final rehab tune-up outing. The 29-year-old righty should be ready to make his season debut at some point later next week. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago

    • Espada: Ronel Blanco likely back Sunday vs. A’s
      Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters Ronel Blanco will likely start on Sunday against the Athletics.

      Advice: Blanco is currently serving an automatic 10-game suspension for violating the league’s illegal foreign substance rules, but he’s in line for a tasty matchup in his return against the struggling Athletics. Fantasy managers should prepare to get him back in their lineups later this week. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago

    • Reinstated from IL
      Alexander (ribs) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

      Advice: Alexander was placed on the 15-day injured list at the end of March with a left rib contusion. The left-hander fired a scoreless seventh inning with a strikeout in his most recent rehab assignment for Triple-A Las Vegas. With his return, Tyler Ferguson was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas in a corresponding move Tuesday. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
       
    • Cubs remove Kyle Hendricks from starting rotation
      Cubs manager Craig Counsell told reporters Tuesday that Kyle Hendricks has been moved to the bullpen.

      Advice: The writing was seemingly on the wall after Hendricks was torched for eight runs (seven earned) over 4 2/3 innings on Friday against the Pirates. The soft-tossing 34-year-old righty has struggled mightily this season to a disastrous 10.57 ERA, 1.99 WHIP and 25/11 K/BB ratio across 30 2/3 innings (seven starts). He’ll presumably operate in mop-up duty until further notice with either Ben Brown or Hayden Wesneski likely moving into Chicago’s rotation until Jordan Wicks is ready to return from the injured list.

    • A’s activate Scott Alexander for Tuesday return
      Athletics activated LHP Scott Alexander from the 15-day injured list.

      Advice: Alexander will make his Oakland debut following a seven-week stint on the injured list at the outset of the season recovering from a stress reaction in his left ribs. The 34-year-old southpaw figures to pitch in middle relief intially, but could find himself in the late-inning mix at some point. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
       
    • Making rehab start
      Smyly (hip) will make a rehab start Tuesday with High-A South Bend, Tim Stebbins of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Smyly is set for his first rehab appearance since suffering a pinched nerve in his right hip back in April. It's unclear how long of a rehab stint is required, but Smyly should be on pace to return in late May or early June. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

    • Recalled from Triple-A
      The Brewers recalled Myers from Triple-A Nashville on Tuesday.

      Advice: Myers is taking the roster spot vacated by Joe Ross (back) and is also a candidate to take Ross' place in the rotation, although it would appear he'll be available in relief for now. The right-hander holds a 5.29 ERA and 17:9 K:BB over 17 innings covering four starts with Milwaukee this season. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
