  • Resumes playing catch
    Nationals manager Dave Martinez said Friday that Gray resumed playing catch from 60 feet last week, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Though the fact that Gray is no longer shut down from throwing is an encouraging sign after he landed on the 15-day injured list April 9 with a right elbow flexor strain, the 26-year-old still has several more checkpoints to hit in his rehab program before he'll be ready to rejoin the Washington rotation. He's without a clear timeline for a return from the IL, but Gray appears safe to rule out from being activated before the end of April. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Rangers optioned White to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

    Advice: White was up with the big club for just a few days and did not make an appearance. He's clearing out to make room for Jonathan Hernandez's return from the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 6:24 am
     
  • Activated from injured list
    The Rangers activated Hernandez (lat) from the 15-day injured list Monday.

    Advice: Hernandez got a late start to the season due to a right lat strain but is ready to roll now after allowing just three runs with a 14:4 K:BB over 10 rehab innings with Triple-A Round Rock. The righty could eventually work his way into high-leverage situations but will probably be used earlier in games initially. Rotowire.com Today, 6:22 am
     
  • Activated from Triple-A IL
    Vivas (eye) has been activated from the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Vivas suffered an orbital fracture late in spring training but is now ready for game action. The 23-year-old utility player is on the 40-man roster and could eventually push for his first big-league promotion this season. Rotowire.com Today, 6:16 am
     
  • Rough start to season
    Gonzalez has an 11.12 ERA and 2.88 WHIP over three appearances (two starts) at Double-A Portland.

    Advice: Control has long been a challenge for Gonzalez, who is showing it to be more so at the start of the 2024 season. He walked eight batters over his first two starts -- he lasted just two-thirds of an inning in his second start -- and has nine overall in 5.2 innings. The right-hander had an encouraging third outing Sunday, when he walked only one over three scoreless innings as a piggyback starter. Rotowire.com Today, 4:27 am
     
  • Rangers activate Jonathan Hernández on Monday
    Rangers activated LHP Jonathan Hernández from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Hernández will rejoin Texas’ bullpen mix after missing the first couple weeks of the season due to a left shoulder injury. He figures to pitch in low-leverage spots moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 3:47 am
     
  • Rangers option Owen White to Triple-A
    Rangers optioned RHP Owen White to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: White was up with the Rangers for a handful of contests over the last few days as emergency pitching depth. The 24-year-old righty figures to return in a couple weeks, if needed. Rotoworld Today, 3:43 am
     
  • Rangers option Sam Huff to Triple-A
    Rangers optioned C Sam Huff to Triple-A Round Rock.
