  • Works 4.2 innings
    Silseth allowed five earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two across 4.2 innings in a rehab outing with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

    Advice: The surface stats aren't positive for Silseth, but he did build up to 92 total pitches. It was originally expected that he would be activated and slot back into the Angels' rotation Wednesday against the Athletics, though Sisleth has now allowed 14 earned runs across 12.1 frames with Salt Lake. Those results could cause Los Angeles to reassess his role in the short term, as he does have minor-league options remaining. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Luis Ortiz allows six runs in four innings
    Luis Ortiz followed opener Cameron Mlodzinski and got hit hard by the Rays allowing six runs and 10 hits in four innings of work. He struck out three and walked one.

    Advice: Ortiz pitched better than his line, which isn’t saying much. The Rays made a habit of squeaking singles through the infield and Jose Lowe burned him for two loud home runs. Even with this disaster, Ortiz’s ERA ticked up to just 3.45. His fastball and sinker each sit 97 MPH, his slider is nasty, and his cutter is coming along. Ortiz remains risky but could prove valuable in the second half. Rotoworld Today, 6:30 pm
     
  • Ryan Pepiot unravels in fourth inning
    Ryan Pepiot allowed two earned runs in 3 1/3 on Friday against the Pirates. He walked four and struck out three.

    Advice: Pepiot started strong with three punch outs in his first three innings and held a big lead. He looked to be in complete control until a lead-off walk to Rowdy Tellez in the bottom of the fourth and wouldn’t make it through the inning. His line could’ve been worse as he left the game with the bases loaded and one out, but Colin Poche got out of the jam with a double-play ball. It seemed he didn’t have a feel for his slider in this one as he threw just three. That pitch has been a difference-maker for him this season and it would be a concern if he took it out of his repertoire going forward. Rotoworld Today, 6:29 pm

  • Dodgers activate and option Kyle Hurt on Friday
    Dodgers activated RHP Kyle Hurt from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: The 26-year-old hurler had already been pitching at Triple-A OKC while on a rehab assignment, but he’ll continue to build up there as he continues his recovery from right shoulder inflammation. In order to free up a spot on the club’s 40-man roster, Max Muncy was transferred to the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 6:08 pm
     
  • Activated from IL, optioned
    The Dodgers activated Hurt (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Advice: Hurt was originally placed on the 15-day injured list April 20 with right shoulder inflammation, but he was transferred to the 60-day IL one week later. He began his rehab assignment with Oklahoma City on June 6, and over his eight minor-league appearances, he's given up five runs on seven hits and 10 walks while striking out 16 over nine frames. To make room for Hurt on the 40-man roster, the Dodgers transferred Max Muncy (oblique) to the 60-day injured list Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 5:59 pm
     
  • Continuing recovery at Arizona
    Bradford (rib/back) is throwing a bullpen session Friday and then will be sent to the Rangers' Arizona Complex League affiliate, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Bradford has been sidelined since April with a lower back strain and a stress fracture in his rib. However, he's been making steady progression in June and will continue his recovery process in Arizona. While it's unclear when Bradford will start facing hitters, a return shortly after the All-Star break seems feasible. Rotowire.com Today, 4:16 pm

  • Slight chance at 2024 return
    Graveman (shoulder) is in the middle of a throwing program and has a chance at returning in September, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Graveman underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum and clean up his rotator cuff January 10 and was expected to miss the entirety of the 2024 campaign. However, he's been participating in a throwing program and hasn't ruled out a return late in the regular season. Still, Graveman has plenty of steps to complete before reaching that point.

  • Kendall Graveman (shoulder) could return in 2024
    Kendall Graveman (shoulder) told reporters on Friday that he’s in the middle of a throwing program and there’s at least an outside chance that he could return before the 2024 season concludes.

    Advice: Graveman underwent surgery in mid-January to repair a torn labrum and clean up the rotator cuff in his right shoulder. The initial expectation was that he would miss the entire 2024 season — and that’s still the most likely scenario — but if everything goes according to plan and he suffers no setbacks along the way, there’s a chance Graveman could return at some point in September.
