  • Will pitch Sunday
    Jansen, who hasn't pitched the last six days, will be used in Sunday's game against the Twins, Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: The Red Sox have a day off Monday and will prevent Jansen from the absence extending any further, so the closer is expected to pitch one way or another. He's pitched just once over the last nine days. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Nelson (elbow) off injured list to start Sunday
    Diamondbacks activated RHP Ryne Nelson off the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Nelson is back to make a start Sunday against the Padres. The right-hander ended up missing the minimum amount of time while dealing with a bruise on his right elbow. Nelson was shaky in his starts prior to the injury, and fantasy managers should probably look elsewhere for a streaming option. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago

  • Diamondbacks option Brandon Hughes to Triple-A
    Diamondbacks optioned LHP Brandon Hughes to Triple-A Reno.

    Advice: Hughes was just recalled Tuesday, but the Diamondbacks need a roster spot for Ryne Nelson after Nelson was activated off the 15-day injured list. Hughes is still on the 40-man roster, so he could see another chance with the D-Backs before the end of 2024. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
     
  • Throws bullpen session
    Whitlock (oblique) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Whitlock emerged from the session without issue and will embark on a throwing program. Red Sox manager Alex Cora said, "it's just the beginning," when discussing the right-hander's status. Whitlock was placed on the injured list April 17 and seemingly would need at least one rehab start. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

  • Waiting on thumb
    Scherzer (back) is still in a holding pattern while waiting for the soreness in his right thumb to subside, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Texas manager Bruce Bochy said the thumb improves every day, but Scherzer is not yet at the point where he can play catch. The right-hander threw 52 pitches in his first rehab start but experienced thumb soreness afterwards. His next rehab start, scheduled for April 30, was pushed back. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Receiving breather Sunday
    O'Neill is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Twins, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: O'Neill started the previous eight games and will receive day off after he posted a .924 OPS and 36.1 percent strikeout rate during that span. Rob Refsnyder will man left field against Minnesota righty Joe Ryan. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Taking seat against lefty
    Kiermaier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: He'll join fellow left-handed-hitting regular Cavan Biggio on the bench as the Blue Jays replace the two with a pair of right-handed hitters (Davis Schneider and Ernie Clement, respectively) to counter Nationals southpaw MacKenzie Gore. Kiermaier returned from the 10-day injured list Saturday and popped a two-run home run in the Blue Jays' 6-3 win. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
