    • John Means (forearm) to get second opinion
      John Means will get a second opinion on his injured elbow.

      Advice: The 31-year-old southpaw landed on the injured list with a left forearm strain on Thursday after exhibiting diminished velocity during Wednesday’s start against the Cardinals. It certainly sounds like he’s going to be looking at an extended absence, but we should have more clarity after he gets another opinion. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago
       
    • Seeking second opinion
      Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Friday that Means will get a second opinion on his throwing elbow, Andy Kostka of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.

      Advice: Means threw just three innings in his start Wednesday against the Cardinals, and he did not return to the mound following the rain delay. He landed on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to a left forearm strain, which was the same injury that caused him to start the season on the IL. Seeing that Means will be getting a second opinion on his elbow, the 31-year-old southpaw could be on the IL beyond the 15-day minimum. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
       
    • Throwing again Saturday
      Gray (elbow) will throw a live batting practice for two innings Saturday, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

      Advice: Gray continues to work through the flexor strain in his right elbow that has kept him out of action since April 4. His session Saturday is the next step in his throwing program, and if all goes well, the Nationals could look to send the 26-year-old right-hander on a rehab assignment. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

    • Managing lat, shoulder soreness
      Mata (hamstring) was pulled off his minor-league rehab assignment due to shoulder and lat soreness Friday and is traveling to Boston to be evaluated, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The right-hander threw three innings for Double-A Portland on Thursday, but his rehab assignment is now being paused due to the shoulder and lat issues. Mata is working his way back from a hamstring strain, but the new injuries seem likely to push back his return timeline. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago

    • Andrew Abbott has next start pushed back two days
      Andrew Abbott will have his next scheduled start pushed back from Sunday to Tuesday.

      Advice: It’s an encouraging development for fantasy managers, as he’ll now avoid the Dodgers and will instead do battle against the Cardinals at home. The Reds have yet to announce a starter for Sunday’s contest and may wind up utilizing their bullpen heavily in that one instead. Rotoworld 55 minutes ago
       
    • Facing hitters Saturday
      Ray (elbow) will throw live batting practice Saturday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Ray began throwing bullpen sessions during spring training, but Saturday will mark the first time he has faced hitters since undergoing Tommy John surgery in May of 2023. The 32-year-old southpaw still isn't expected to pitch for the Giants until around the All-Star break, but he certainly appears to be trending in the right direction. He will almost certainly throw a few additional rounds of live BP before beginning a minor-league rehab assignment, at which point a clearer picture regarding his return may emerge.

    • Starting rehab assignment
      Wicks (forearm) is making a rehab start at Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

      Advice: Wicks started throwing off a mound a week ago and has made it through several bullpen sessions without a setback. He may need to complete one or two additional starts at Iowa before being brought up to rejoin the Cubs. Wicks owns a 4.70 ERA across five starts this season with Chicago.

    • Transferred to 60-Day IL
      Freeland (elbow) was moved to the 60-day injured list Friday.

      Advice: Freeland was placed on the 15-day injured list back in the middle of April, and despite throwing a bullpen session, has been shifted to the 60-day IL. He should be available for reinstatement before July. Rotowire.com Today, 2:07 pm
       
    • Alex Cobb (shoulder) ready to resume throwing
      Alex Cobb (shoulder) will resume his throwing program at some point during the upcoming weekend.

      Advice: The 36-year-old hurler had been shut down since May 18 after feeling something renewed discomfort in his shoulder. It’s going to take him a while to ramp back up and he’s a long way away from being an option to join the Giants’ rotation, but it’s nice to hear that he’s at least taking small steps in the right direction.
