  • Cleared for mound work
    Wicks (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Wicks is just over a week removed from being placed on the injured list with a strained left forearm but is already been cleared for mound work. He'll need to face hitters and will probably be asked to make a rehab start or two before being an option to rejoin the Cubs' rotation. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago

  • Throwing off mound
    Smyly (hip) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: He's continuing his throwing progression as he works his way back from a right hip impingement. Smyly has already missed a couple weeks of action and will probably be asked to make at least one rehab appearance before being activated. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago

  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Marlins optioned Brazoban to Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports..

    Advice: Brazoban missed all of spring training and spent the first month of the season on the restricted list with visa issues. Those have been resolved, but he will head to Jacksonville for now to knock the rust off as he looks to earn a spot back in the Marlins' bullpen. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • D-backs activate Paul Sewald (oblique) from IL
    Diamondbacks activated Paul Sewald (oblique) from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Sewald has been sidelined since the beginning of the regular season with a left oblique strain. The 33-year-old veteran, who finished with a 3.12 ERA, 1.15 WHIP with both the Mariners and Diamondbacks last season, will slide back as the D-backs’ closer which puts an end to Kevin Ginkel’s role.

  • Officially back from injured list
    The Diamondbacks reinstated Sewald (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: The 33-year-old right-hander has been sidelined by an oblique strain but is ready to rejoin the team following three rehab appearances. Now that he's healthy, Sewald should reclaim the closer role from Kevin Ginkel, who tallied five saves with a 2.57 ERA in 14 appearances. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Moved to Triple-A
    McGough was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Tuesday.

    Advice: McGough will make room for Paul Sewald to be reinstated from the 15-day IL, being sent down to the minors after making 15 appearances with the D-Backs. McGough has endured a rocky 2024 campaign, falling to a 6.75 ERA and a 10:10 K:BB ratio over 16 innings with a 1-3 record and a pair of blown saves. He'll look to get back on track with Reno.

  • Playing catch, but progressing slowly
    Brewers manager Pat Murphy said April 28 that Hall (knee) has started playing catch and is "progressing," but the left-hander remains without a clear timeline for a return from the 15-day injured list, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Hall was placed on the IL on April 21, one day after he sprained his left knee while fielding a bunt in his start against the Cardinals. The young southpaw was able to stay in the game upon suffering the injury, but he saw a stark decline in his velocity thereafter, prompting the Brewers to shut him down. Hall is in the process of rehabbing and strengthening the knee and hasn't hit any reported snags in the recovery process, but until he reaches the point that he's able to face hitters, the team likely won't have a concrete target date for his return from the IL.

  • Still limited to playing catch
    Alcantara (elbow) was spotted playing catch in Oakland on Saturday during the Marlins' series versus the Athletics, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Alcantara has been able to play catch for about two months now and is presumably increasing the distance and frequency of his throwing, but the Marlins haven't indicated when he might be ready to toss bullpen sessions. Regardless, after he underwent Tommy John surgery on October 6, 2023, the Marlins aren't counting on Alcantara contributing at any point in 2024. The Marlins' focus remains on getting the 2022 National League Cy Young Award winner back to 100 percent for the start of spring training next year. Rotowire.com 49 minutes ago
     
  • Transferred for rehab at AAA
    Burdi's (hip) has been transferred to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to continue his rehab assignment.

    Advice: Burdi started his rehab stint at Double-A Somerset, but he'll get the opportunity to pitch at the Triple-A level before his eventual reinstatement, which should come within the next week or so. Rotowire.com 59 minutes ago
