    • Throwing off mound Wednesday
      Olson (hip) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

      Advice: Olson had to make an early exit from his start Monday against the Royals after taking a comebacker off his right hip. The right-hander managed to escape the incident with nothing more than a bruise, but the Tigers will have him throw a bullpen session to make sure Olson will be able to make his next scheduled start Saturday against Toronto.

    • Reese Olson (hip) plays catch on Tuesday
      Reese Olson (hip) played catch on Tuesday without any issues.

      Advice: Olson is still dealing with some relatively minor hip soreness, but still expects to make his next start on Saturday against the Blue Jays. There should be a final call on his status at some point later this week when he throws his usual between-starts side session. Rotoworld Today, 2:25 pm
       
    • Extended bullpen on tap
      Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that Lodolo (groin) will throw an extended bullpen session within the next day or two, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

      Advice: Following the bullpen session, a plan will be mapped out for Lodolo's return. The left-hander had previously expressed optimism that he could be back from the 15-day injured list when first eligible on May 27, so it's possible he'll skip a rehab assignment and go right back into the Reds' rotation if things go well during the bullpen session.

    • Reese Olson (hip) expects to make next start
      Reese Olson is optimistic that he won’t miss any additional time after leaving his start Monday with a right hip contusion.

      Advice: Olson said he blacked out for a second after the ball hit him, which definitely tracks with how he looked initially. Fortunately, there shouldn’t be any lasting damage. Olson did wind up taking another tough loss to the Royals after leaving down 2-0 the third. He’s now 0-5 in spite of a 2.16 ERA. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:49 pm
       
    • Dominates Rays
      Houck (4-5) yielded two hits and a walk over seven shutout frames Monday, striking out five and earning a win over Tampa Bay.

      Advice: Houck was terrific Monday and didn't let any baserunners reach scoring position. It was his fourth scoreless start of the year, dropping his season ERA to 1.94 through 65 frames. Houck entered Monday's start on a four-game losing streak over his previous five starts. However, he registered an impressive 2.87 ERA during that span. Houck's next start is projected to be at home against the Brewers this weekend. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:58 pm
       
    • Tanner Houck spins seven scoreless to beat Rays
      Tanner Houck fired seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the Rays.

      Advice: Houck authored another brilliant performance, scattering just two hits and one walk over seven nearly-flawless frames. He finished with five strikeouts and allowed just six batted balls with an exit velocity over 92 mph in this one. He’ll carry a sparkling 1.94 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 62/12 K/BB ratio across 65 innings (10 starts) into a home tilt on Sunday against the Brewers. The 27-year-old righty has been an unexpected revelation this season for fantasy managers, allowing three earned runs or fewer in nine of his 10 starts so far. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:27 pm
       
    • Reese Olson has right hip contusion
      Reese Olson was diagnosed with a right hip contusion after leaving Monday’s game.

      Advice: Olson was hurt when he was hit by a Michael Massey lineup. How he feels tomorrow could determine whether an IL stint is required. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:19 pm
       
    • Nursing bruised hip
      Olson has been diagnosed with a bruised right hip after being struck by a comebacker during Monday's start against Kansas City.

      Advice: Olson appears to have escaped with a minor injury, though the team will closely monitor him over the next few days. His next start tentatively lines up for Saturday against the Blue Jays, and the club should have clarity on his upcoming availability later in the week. Olson noted after the game that he expects to be fine, and he was already moving around better, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:12 pm
       
    • Reese Olson exits after taking liner to hip
      Reese Olson left Monday’s game in the third inning after taking a liner off his hip.

      Advice: Beau Breiske replaced him versus the Royals. Olson gave up two runs — one earned — and five hits in 2 2/3 innings, putting him in line for the loss. If he needs to skip his next start, the Tigers could slot Kenta Maeda into his spot. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:01 pm
