    • Tigers lose Shelby Miller to nerve inflammation
      Tigers placed RHP Shelby Miller on the 15-day injured list with ulnar nerve inflammation.

      Advice: Well, this doesn’t sound overly serious, and it’s not like the Tigers were really expecting 60+ innings from Miller. The 33-year-old has a 4.41 ERA in 15 relief appearances this season. Rotoworld 2 minutes ago
       
    • Tigers call up Brieske from Triple-A
      Tigers recalled RHP Beau Brieske from Triple-A Toledo.

      Advice: Brieske never deserved to be sent down following his scoreless spring, but the Tigers pen has been quite good and he hadn’t been needed until now. The 26-year-old had a 2.95 ERA in 21 1/3 innings for Toledo. He had a 3.60 ERA in 35 innings for the Tigers last year. Rotoworld 2 minutes ago
       
    • Throws bullpen session
      Smyly (hip) threw a bullpen session Monday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: Smyly continues to work through a right hip impingement that landed him on the 15-day IL on April 23. The 34-year-old southpaw will likely need at least one rehab appearance before returning to the majors. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

    • Expects just one more rehab start
      Urquidy (forearm) said Monday that his next rehab start on Saturday with Double-A Corpus Christi should be his final one before joining the Astros' rotation, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Urquidy threw 48 pitches and allowed three runs over 2.2 innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday. He will get his pitch count up to 70 on Saturday before sliding into Houston's rotation next week, likely in Oakland against the Athletics. Urquidy has been out all season with a right forearm strain. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

    • Could need just one rehab start
      Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Monday that Whitlock (oblique) will need just one rehab start provided all goes well in his outing Wednesday with Triple-A Worcester, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: Whitlock has missed nearly a month with a left oblique strain, but the Red Sox apparently feel that he should be sufficiently built up after just the one rehab start. Cooper Criswell has been excellent since joining Boston's rotation, but he could be headed to the bullpen or back to Worcester soon. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
       
    • A.J. Puk rejoins Marlins pen after I.L. stint
      Marlins activated LHP A.J. Puk from the 15-day injured list.

      Advice: Puk was a starter before going down with shoulder fatigue, but that went badly and he should be in the pen for good now. He might wind up closing for the Marlins later this season if and when Tanner Scott is traded, though if he’s throwing well, it’s very likely that Puk will be sent elsewhere, too.

    • Plays catch Monday
      Dunning (shoulder) threw from 90 feet Monday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Dunning landed on the 15-day injured list last week with a right rotator cuff strain but said after Monday's throwing session that his pitching arm is feeling stronger. His stint on the IL isn't expected to be a long one, but he'll need to go through a throwing progression so a return when first eligible on May 21 might be a push. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago

    • José Urquidy due for second rehab start
      José Urquidy, who is on the IL with forearm inflammation, will make a second rehab start Saturday for Double-A Corpus Christi.

      Advice: Urquidy allowed three runs in 2 2/3 innings Sunday for Triple-A Sugar Land. He’s hoping the upcoming start will be the last before he rejoins Houston’s rotation, but he’ll probably need to pitch a little better for that to happen. Rotoworld 29 minutes ago

    • Back in bullpen
      The Cubs recalled Cuas from Triple-A Iowa on Monday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

      Advice: Cuas had just been sent down a day ago, but he's back to replace Adbert Alzolay (forearm), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. He will be used in low-leverage spots. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
