  • Slated for Tommy John surgery
    Raley will undergo Tommy John surgery sometime next week, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: Raley was diagnosed with a strained UCL in his left elbow last Wednesday, and although manager Carlos Mendoza had said the lefty's UCL was healing, Raley will elect to undergo season-ending Tommy John surgery. The 35-year-old will finish the year with a perfect 0.00 ERA alongside a 9:3 K:BB through seven innings, and he will likely be sidelined until the second half of the 2025 campaign.

  • Starting Wednesday at Triple-A
    Thompson is scheduled to start for Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democratreports.

    Advice: Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol named the left-hander as a candidate to start Saturday against the Cubs, but it appears he'll remain in the minor-league rotation. Thompson could still be an option for St. Louis if Wednesday's outing is a brief one, but the organization seems more likely to go in another direction at this point. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago

  • Rejoining rotation Wednesday
    Pepiot (lower leg) will be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: The 26-year-old righty landed on the shelf with a bruised lower left leg after his May 5 start versus the Mets, but he'll return Wednesday after being sidelined for the 15-day minimum. Any workload limitations for Pepiot will likely be minor given the brevity of his absence. Rotowire.com Today, 3:22 pm

  • Throws bullpen session
    Miller (elbow) threw a bullpen session Tuesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Tuesday marks the first time Miller has thrown off a mound since landing on the injured list last Monday with right ulnar nerve inflammation. He will presumably throw a few more bullpens before progressing to facing live hitters, but there is still a chance the 33-year-old reliever returns to Detroit's bullpen when eligible next Tuesday.

  • Making next rehab start Friday
    Uquidy (forearm) will make a rehab start Friday with Triple-A Sugar Land, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The right-hander threw 59 pitches in his previous outing Saturday and is expected to build up to 70-to-75 pitches Friday. If all goes well, Urquidy could step into Houston's rotation during the four-game series in Seattle next week. Rotowire.com Today, 2:45 pm

  • Returning from suspension Sunday
    Blanco (suspension) will be added to Houston's active roster to start Sunday at Oakland, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Astros unsurprisingly won't waste any time reinserting Blanco into the rotation upon the completion of his 10-game ban. The right-hander threw live batting practice Monday and shouldn't face any significant limitations in his first start back. Rotowire.com Today, 2:42 pm

  • Cash: Ryan Pepiot starting Wednesday vs. Red Sox
    Ryan Pepiot (leg) will start on Wednesday against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Pepiot will be activated to take the ball on Wednesday against Boston after landing on the injured list earlier this month with a leg bruise after being hit by a 107.5 mph comebacker. The 26-year-old righty gets a decent matchup right away against the Red Sox at pitcher-friendly Tropicana Field. Rotoworld Today, 2:42 pm

  • José Urquidy (forearm) to make another rehab start
    José Urquidy (forearm) will make another minor league rehab start on Friday for Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters the hope is to build up Urquidy’s pitch count to roughly 80 in his likely final rehab tune-up outing. The 29-year-old righty should be ready to make his season debut at some point later next week. Rotoworld Today, 2:14 pm

  • Espada: Ronel Blanco likely back Sunday vs. A’s
    Astros manager Joe Espada told reporters Ronel Blanco will likely start on Sunday against the Athletics.

    Advice: Blanco is currently serving an automatic 10-game suspension for violating the league’s illegal foreign substance rules, but he’s in line for a tasty matchup in his return against the struggling Athletics. Fantasy managers should prepare to get him back in their lineups later this week. Rotoworld Today, 2:12 pm
