  • Begins throwing program
    Simpson (elbow) has started throwing, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Simpson has been shut down since April, when he underwent surgery to repair the ulnar nerve in his left elbow. However, he's begun throwing at Single-A Jupiter. He's on track to return in late July or early August. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Could be headed to IL
    Martin could be placed on the injured list prior to Tuesday's game against Atlanta, Ian Browne of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It's not clear exactly what injury Martin is dealing with. He last pitched on May 30, giving up three runs on a couple home runs. If a roster move is indeed made, Martin is expected to be replaced by Zack Kelly. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Report: Padres pursuing trade for Garrett Crochet
    The Athletic’s Dennis Lin and Ken Rosenthal report the Padres have shown strong interest in trade discussions for White Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet.

    Advice: Here we go. No word on how close a potential deal may be, but it’s worth noting the two sides struck a deal a few months ago centered around White Sox ace Dylan Cease and appear to be circling another potential blockbuster. San Diego’s starting pitching depth took a serious hit last weekend with Yu Darvish (groin) and Joe Musgrove (elbow) landing on the injured list so it wouldn’t be shocking to see Padres general manager AJ Preller getting aggressive to fill the void. Crochet is in the midst of an unexpected breakout campaign with a stellar 3.49 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 93/15 K/BB ratio across 69 2/3 innings (13 starts). The former top prospect is still only 24 years old and figures to command an astronomical asking price in trade talks. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
     
  • Still on track for London start
    Suarez (hand) played catch without any apparent issues Tuesday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: He gave a thumbs up to reporters afterward and Phillies manager Rob Thomson said of Suarez that "it looks good so far." Suarez will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, and assuming that goes well he's expected to be cleared to start against the Mets this weekend in London. The lefty had to depart his last outing Saturday versus the Cardinals after being struck on the pitching hand by a comebacker. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
     
  • Report: Zach Kelly to be recalled by Red Sox
    Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports that the Red Sox are recalling Zack Kelly from Triple-A Worcester.

    Advice: Kelly was optioned down May 26, so this will likely involve a player being placed on the injured list. The right-hander will be an option in the middle innings for the Red Sox this time around with the club. Rotoworld Today, 12:56 pm
     
  • Clears waivers, sent to Triple-A
    Go was outrighted to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday.

    Advice: Go was DFA'd on May 30 but after clearing waivers, he'll stick around in the Marlins organization at Triple-A Jacksonville. The 25-year-old owns a 3.00 ERA in nine innings with Jacksonville and has yet to make his MLB debut. Rotowire.com Today, 12:41 pm
     
  • Getting promoted
    The Red Sox called up Kelly from Triple-A Worcester on Tuesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Kelly will rejoin the 26-man roster after being optioned May 26. In 16.2 innings of relief with Boston, Kelly owns a 2.16 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. Rotowire.com Today, 12:36 pm
     
  • Marlins send Woo-Suk Go outright to Triple-A
    Marlins sent LHP Woo-Suk Go outright to Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Go went unclaimed after being designated for assignment. The 25-year-old is just organizational depth at this stage in his career. Rotoworld Today, 12:29 pm
     
  • Blue Jays option Ryan Burr back to Buffalo
    Blue Jays optioned RHP Ryan Burr to Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: Burr gets the boot from the active roster to make room for Bowden Francis (forearm). The right-hander will likely be back in the coming weeks — if not sooner — but he’ll head to Buffalo for now due to the roster crunch. Rotoworld Today, 12:09 pm
