    • Set for another rehab start
      Gray (elbow) will make another rehab start for Triple-A Rochester next week, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: Gray was able to build up to 79 pitches over five innings during his latest rehab outing Wednesday, and the goal will be for him to get up to six innings or roughly 90 pitches. It's likely he makes his next minor-league start Tuesday, which could put him in line to return to Washington's rotation June 30 against the Rays. Rotowire.com Today, 1:05 pm

    • Kyle Gibson (back) will throw on Thursday
      Cardinals manager Oli Marmol said Kyle Gibson “will play catch today” and then check in with the trainers to “determine whether he’ll be available today.”

      Advice: While anything is possible, it seems likely that Gibson will not be available today, which would mean that he’s in line to start on Tuesday against the Braves. He would not be a recommended stream for that one. Rotoworld Today, 12:39 pm
       
    • Logan Allen produces Quality Start against Mariners
      Logan Allen gave up three runs in six innings against the Mariners on Thursday while being credited with the victory.

      Advice: Allen was far from dominant, as he walked four and struck out only two. He was still able to hold the Seattle offense (mostly) in check, particularly after giving up a two-run homer to Dylan Moore in the first. The 25-year-old’s ERA is inflated by two horrible outings in May, and he’s pitched much better than the 5.23 ERA he currently carries. If the rotation stays the same, Allen will face the Orioles on Thursday. Rotoworld Today, 12:39 pm

    • Likely to start Tuesday
      Gibson (back) is likely to make his next scheduled start Tuesday against Atlanta, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Gibson was a late scratch from Wednesday's start in Miami due to back tightness. He will play catch Thursday to determine whether he could be available in relief for that game, but that's viewed as unlikely. Instead of just pushing his next start back a couple days, the Cardinals seem content to effectively skip his turn and have him ready to go Tuesday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:38 pm
       
    • Ryne Nelson fires seven strong in win over Nats
      Ryne Nelson worked seven innings while giving up two runs to pick up a win Thursday over the Nationals.

      Advice: Nelson allowed just three hits, and he struck out two while walking no one. He needed just 70 pitches to get through the seven frames, and outside of two solo homers, the 26-year-old pitched admirably. This also makes back-to-back strong starts for Nelson, as he has given up just three runs over those 13 innings. It’s worth pointing out that Washington and the White Sox were his opponents, however. Nelson will look to continue lowering his now 5.18 ERA against the Twins next Thursday. Rotoworld Today, 12:30 pm
       
    • Outrighted to Triple-A
      The Rangers outrighted Tinoco to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

      Advice: Tinoco has the option to decline the assignment and become a free agent if he wants. If he does choose to stick around, he'll provide relief depth at Round Rock. Rotowire.com Today, 11:59 am
       
    • Officially promoted
      The Cardinals recalled Kloffenstein from Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.

      Advice: After putting up a 3.97 ERA and 1.13 WHP through 77 innings at Triple-A, Kloffenstein will now come up from the minors to give St. Louis another multi-inning relief option in its bullpen. He'll take the place of Chris Roycroft, who was optioned to Memphis in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Today, 11:12 am
       
    • Optioned to Memphis
      The Cardinals optioned Roycroft to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday

      Advice: Roycroft has done a decent job in the majors since being called back up to St. Louis on June 4, allowing just one run in 8.2 innings. However, he'll be sent back down to Triple-A in favor of Adam Kloffenstein, as the Cardinals look to keep their bullpen stocked with fresh arms. Rotowire.com Today, 11:08 am
       
    • Set to return Sunday
      Rockies manager Bud Black said Thursday that Freeland (elbow) will return from the 60-day injured list to start Sunday versus the Nationals, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

      Advice: Freeland allowed two earned runs while striking out four over four innings in his third and final rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Albuquerque. The left-hander threw 67 pitches in the outing, so he probably won't be ready for a full workload Sunday. Most fantasy managers shouldn't be using Freeland, anyway. He posted a 13.21 ERA in four starts before going on the injured list in mid-April with a left elbow strain. Rotowire.com Today, 11:07 am
