  • Resuming rehab assignment
    Chargois (neck) has been sent to Triple-A Jacksonville to resume his rehab assignment.

    Advice: Chargois made three rehab appearances for Jacksonville last month before suffering a setback with his neck injury. He's cleared the necessary hurdles to return to game action and will be eligible for activation next week, although the reliever could need more time than that. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago

  • Side session on tap
    Manager A.J. Hinch said that Maeda (illness) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday or Thursday before the Tigers determine the right-hander's next steps, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Placed on the 15-day injured list May 11 while he battled a viral illness, Maeda appears to be close to a return after he was able to complete a three-inning rehab start with Triple-A Toledo this past Sunday. The Tigers have already decided on their starting pitchers through Friday, but if Maeda comes out of his side session no worse for the wear, he could be an option to take the hill Saturday versus the Blue Jays if Detroit wants to give Reese Olson (hip) some extra time off to recover from an injury. If the Tigers are confident in Olson's health heading into the weekend, however, Maeda could be sent out to Toledo for a second rehab start to build up his pitch count.

  • Impressive in non-save situation
    Kopech struck out the side without allowing a baserunner Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Kopech entered the game in the ninth inning and was tasked with protecting a five-run lead. He needed only 15 pitches to end the game, and he racked up seven called strikes without generating a whiff. After a shaky start to the season, Kopech now has six consecutive scoreless appearances, maintaining an 8:5 K:BB across 6.1 frames in that span. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Starting rehab assignment
    Hoeing (hamstring) has been sent to Triple-A Jacksonville to begin a rehab assignment.

    Advice: Hoeing has been out since early May with a strained left hamstring but is ready to test things out in a game environment. Since he hasn't missed much time, his rehab assignment figures to be brief. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Continuing rehab at Single-A
    Drohan (shoulder) has been transferred to Single-A Winston-Salem to continue his rehab assignment.

    Advice: Working his way back from left shoulder nerve decompression surgery, Drohan allowed three runs with a 9:2 K:BB over 3.2 innings in three appearances with the Arizona Complex League White Sox. The Rule 5 pick will likely use all of his 30 allotted rehab days before the White Sox add him to the roster. Drohan will need to remain on Chicago's roster all season or be offered back to the Red Sox. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Picks up win No. 2
    Pfaadt (2-3) got the win over the Dodgers on Tuesday, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk while striking out seven over six innings.

    Advice: Pfaadt picked up a win for the first time since his season-opening start against the Rockies on March 31. His first run allowed was unearned off a throwing error by Gabriel Moreno and then the Dodgers finally got to him in the sixth for a pair. Pfaadt only gave up one barreled ball on the evening and now has five straight quality starts and seven or more strikeouts three times. The 25-year-old now owns a 4.05 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 58:11 K:BB in 60 innings and lines up to face the Rangers on the road next week. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago
     
  • No longer expected to start
    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo indicated Tuesday that Nelson is unlikely to start Wednesday versus the Dodgers as previously scheduled, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Advice: Lovullo hinted that he would likely use an opener and also that the team plans to make a roster move, although nothing is official yet. Joe Mantiply opened Monday's contest against the Dodgers and needed just seven pitches to complete a scoreless inning, so he is an obvious candidate to open again. It's possible Nelson will serve as a bulk reliever. Lovullo will reveal his plan later Wednesday. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Allows four runs in loss
    Stone (4-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Diamondbacks, allowing four runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out five over six innings.

    Advice: Stone reached at least six innings for a fifth consecutive outing but just missed out on a quality start this time around. The Diamondbacks scratched out a pair of runs on him in the second and another in the fifth before Christian Walker crushed a solo home run in the sixth to make it a 4-1 ballgame. Tuesday was Stone's first time giving up more than a run since April 20 and his first loss since April 7. He now owns a 3.60 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 34:17 K:BB in 50 innings and lines up for a road start against the Mets next week. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
     
  • Two steals in loss
    Ohtani went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, two runs and two steals in Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Ohtani was one of two Dodger hitters with multiple hits in the game and swiped multiple bases for the third time this year to bring his total up to 13. Ohtani now has nine multi-hit efforts this month and continues to terrorize opposing pitching. He leads the league with a 1.080 OPS and is now slashing .356/.425/.655 with 13 homers, 34 RBI, 39 runs and a 24:42 BB:K in 221 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
