  • Throwing bullpen session
    Harrison (ankle) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Harrison resumed throwing on flat ground earlier this week and has now been cleared to try things from the bump. It's been more than two weeks since Harrison made a start, so it's likely he'll be asked to go out on a short rehab assignment once he's deemed ready. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting Thursday
    Laureano isn't in Atlanta's lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Laureano has slashed .257/.257/.457 with a homer and four RBI in 35 plate appearances since joining Atlanta on June 15. He'll get a breather versus Chad Kuhl and the Sox, allowing Adam Duvall to start in right field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Poised to come off IL Friday
    Wade (hamstring) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Wade has been sidelined for the past month with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain but has been cleared to return after playing three rehab games with Triple-A Sacramento, going 1-for-7 with a 2:4 K:BB. The 30-year-old has slashed a robust .333/.470/.426 for the Giants this season and will go back to receiving regular starts at first base against right-handed pitching. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago

  • Strong results in rehab outing
    Williams (elbow) yielded one run on three hits and two walks over four innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Columbus on Thursday.

    Advice: Williams wasn't very efficient, needing 82 pitches to cover his four frames. The results were impressive, though, as he struck out six, induced 16 whiffs and gave up just one batted ball hit at 95+ mph. The Guardians have not confirmed any plans for when Williams' season debut for them will occur, but it could be next week, as soon as Tuesday versus the White Sox. Williams has been on the injured list all season with a right elbow problem. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Returning Thursday
    Arcia (head) will start at shortstop Thursday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Advice: Arcia has been held out of action since being pulled from Monday's game due to dizziness. Now that the issue has subsided, he'll return to his role as Atlanta's shortstop and look to get back on track after going just 1-for-19 with seven strikeouts across his last six contests.

  • Cubs move Yency Almonte to 60-day IL
    Cubs transferred RHP Yency Almonte (shoulder) to 60-day IL

    Advice: Almonte has a shoulder strain and has not been progressing, which has led the Cubs to seek other opinions on a recovery process. The move doesn’t change his ambiguous timeline but frees up a roster spot that allows the Cubs to add reliever Vinny Nittoli to the active roster. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago
     
  • Won't pitch in 2024
    Ortega underwent season-ending surgery Wednesday to remove a bone spur in his right elbow, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Ortega underwent an operation during the offseason to remove loose bodies in the same elbow, and his most recent surgery will ensure that he misses the entire 2024 campaign. An exact recovery timeline has not been provided, but the 27-year-old right-hander will aim to return at some point next season. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
     
  • Struggles again in rehab start
    Kremer (triceps) allowed four runs on six hits and two walks over 4.1 innings in his third rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports. He struck out five batters.

    Advice: Kremer got his pitch count up to 75 and looks ready to return from the 15-day injured list from a workload standpoint, but it's unclear if Baltimore is keen on slotting him back into the rotation while he's largely struggled during the minor-league assignment. The right-hander has posted an 11.42 ERA and 9:4 K:BB over 8.2 innings across his three starts. He's been out since late May with a right triceps strain. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago

  • Resting Thursday
    Barnhart is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Barnhart had started behind the plate in three of the past four games but will get a breather for the day game after the night game. Jose Herrera will handle the catching duties Thursday, but Barnhart looks poised to serve as the Diamondbacks' top backstop until Gabriel Moreno (thumb) is back from the injured list.
