  • 79-37-4 1st Place
    • Set to return next week
      Soriano (abdomen) is expected to start one of the Angels' contests in Oakland during a three-game series that begins July 2, per MLB.com.

      Advice: Soriano landed on the injured list June 20 with an infection in his abdomen, and the team believes he will be ready to return after the minimum 15-day stay. Since the move to the injured list was retroactive to June 17, that means the right-hander can be activated as soon as July 2. Soriano has been throwing from 120 feet as well as playing long toss in preparation for a return. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

    • Liam Henriks (elbow) throws another bullpen session
      Liam Henriks (elbow) threw a 20-pitch bullpen session on Friday.

      Advice: There’s some growing optimism that Hendriks might be able to give the Red Sox something in the later stages of the year, especially if they remain in the playoff chase. The 35-year-old veteran stopper is coming off Tommy John surgery and there’s little incentive for Boston to rush him back too quickly and risk a setback. However, he’s making steady progress at the moment. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
       
    • Red Sox claim Alex Speas off waivers from Astros
      Red Sox claimed RHP Alex Speas off waivers from the Astros.

      Advice: Speas ships up to Boston after being designated for assignment last weekend by Houston. The hard-throwing has big-time velocity, but has also struggled to command his impressive stuff, walking over a batter per-inning this season at the Triple-A level. If he ever scales back the free passes, he could morph into a pretty stellar reliever at the highest level. At 26 years old, it’s easy to see why teams continue to roll the dice.

    • Jake Bloss (shoulder) throwing bullpen on Sunday
      Jake Bloss (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Sunday.

      Advice: Bloss resumed throwing earlier this week and figures to be ready to return from the injured list at some point in early July. The 23-year-old rookie landed on the injured list last week with right shoulder inflammation. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago
       
    • Ian Anderson (elbow) starting Sunday at Low-A
      Ian Anderson (elbow) will make a minor league rehab start on Sunday for Low-A Augusta.

      Advice: Anderson continues to work his way back from last April’s Tommy John surgery and figures to be an option for Atlanta’s starting rotation at some point following the All-Star break in a couple weeks. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago

    • Claimed by Boston
      The Red Sox claimed Speas off waivers from the Astros on Saturday and optioned him to Triple-A Worcester, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.

      Advice: Speas was DFA'd by the Astros last week, and although he'll remain in Triple-A with his new organization, he will reclaim a spot on a 40-man roster. The 26-year-old righty has accumulated a gaudy 10.38 ERA and 2.26 WHIP through 21.2 total innings in the minors while spending time with three different organizations. Barring a significant improvement, a return to the majors is unlikely. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
       
    • Throws 20 pitches in bullpen Friday
      Hendriks (elbow) threw a second bullpen session Friday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: All 20 of Hendriks' pitches Friday were fastballs, and the right-hander noted Saturday that three more bullpen sessions are planned next week. The 35-year-old is working his way back from Tommy John surgery from last August, and he is aiming to return to the majors before the end of the regular season. In his last full season in 2022 as a member of the White Sox, Hendriks registered a 2.81 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 85:16 K:BB across 57.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 10:59 am
       
    • Scheduled for bullpen session
      Burdi (hip) will throw a live bullpen session Sunday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Sunday will be the first time Burdi has thrown since landing on the injured list May 24 due to right hip inflammation. In the 12 games Burdi appeared in before the injury, he posted a 1.86 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 9.2 innings. More bullpen sessions will be on the menu for the 31-year-old right-hander -- barring any setbacks after Sunday -- as he aims to return after the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Today, 10:32 am
       
    • Ben Brown (neck) throwing bullpen on Saturday
      Ben Brown (neck) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday.

      Advice: Brown has resumed throwing just a couple weeks after landing on the shelf with a neck strain. The 24-year-old righty appeared to be putting it all together this season with a pristine 3.58 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 64/19 K/BB ratio across 55 1/3 innings (15 appearances, eight starts) before hitting the injured list. He’s worth stashing in deeper mixed leagues until he’s ready to return in a couple weeks. Rotoworld Today, 10:24 am
