  • No rehab assignment needed
    Eovaldi (groin) is not expected to require a rehab assignment, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Rangers manager Bruce Bochy expressed optimism that Eovaldi, who was placed on the injured list Friday, will return at the 15-day minimum. "We thought that [putting Eovaldi on the IL] was the best thing to do. He could be ready before then, that's a possibility, but we don't want to take any chances and will get more information and know exactly where he is at when he gets it looked at again [Monday]," Bochy said. Jack Leiter is expected to be called up and help fill the gap in the rotation until Eovaldi and/or Max Scherzer (back/thumb) are ready. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago
     
  • Tuesday's scheduled starter
    Montas (forearm) is listed as the scheduled starter for Tuesday's series opener against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Montas, who has been on the injured list since April 22, threw a couple of sessions last week. That was apparently enough to avoid a rehab stint and jump back into the rotation. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago

    Advice: Friedl, who made a fourth consecutive appearance Sunday on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville, could be activated as soon as Tuesday, when the Reds open a three-game series at home against the Diamondbacks. "There is a chance," manager David Bell said. "I think we are all going to be involved in that decision." Friedl fractured his right wrist while diving for a ball March 16 and opened the season on the injured list. He's 4-for-16 with three doubles while on rehab with the Bats.

  • Breaks RBI drought
    Carroll went 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 11-4 win over San Diego.

    Advice: Carroll delivered a two-run single as part of Arizona's four-run first inning, snapping a 16-game drought without an RBI.

  • In line for return this week
    Thomas (hamstring) served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored for Triple-A Reno on Sunday.

    Advice: Thomas, who played in the field Saturday and DH on Friday, has appeared in the three consecutive games. He hit safely in all three and driven in five runs. If there are no setbacks, he's expected to meet up with the Diamondbacks in Cincinnati for a three-game series beginning Tuesday, according to Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports. The Reds have right-hander Frankie Montas scheduled to throw Tuesday, so the lefty-hitting Thomas could be in the lineup for the series opener. Rotowire.com Today, 5:03 am
     
  • Feels good after throwing
    Sewald (oblique) said Sunday that he responded well to Saturday's inning of work in an extended spring training game, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. "I haven't felt anything in 10 days now," Sewald said.

    Advice: Following the encouraging news, Sewald plans to travel with the team to Cincinnati, where he could be activated for Tuesday's series opener against the Reds. He opened the season on the injured list and paused rehab is rehab after an appearance April 23. He downplayed the pause and was reticent to call it a setback; instead, Sewald chalked it up to panic and wanted a re-imaging to ease his mind. The reliever had never been on the injured list during his MLB career and didn't know what to expect. Rotowire.com Today, 4:58 am
