  • Called up Monday
    Varland was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday.

    Advice: Varland will return to the major-league roster after being sent down to Oklahoma City on April 8. The right-hander has pitched two-thirds of an inning with the Dodgers over two appearances this season, allowing two runs (one earned). He'll replace Ryan Brasier (calf) in the bullpen for Los Angeles after Brasier was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Lands on IL
    Brasier was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday due to a right calf strain, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Advice: It's unclear as to when Brasier picked up the injury, especially since he looked solid during Saturday's outing when he fired a scoreless inning against the Blue Jays. Gus Varland was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Pauses rehab assignment
    Gibaut (forearm) has been shut down from throwing, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: Gibaut was expected to throw in back-to-back games sometime this week, but he's been shut down after experiencing "persistent issues", per Wittenmyer. Gibaut is set to undergo another examination in the coming days, at which point the club should have a better idea on the next steps in his rehab. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago
     
  • Set for live BP
    Alexander (ribs) is expected to throw live batting practice Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Alexander continues to progress in his recovery from a left rib contusion and he'll take the next step in his rehab process Tuesday. The 34-year-old has missed the entirety of the 2024 season to this point and he'll still likely have a multi-outing rehab assignment before he'll be able to return to the major-league bullpen down the road.

  • Slated for Tuesday bullpen
    Medina (knee) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Medina is on track to toss another side session Tuesday, and if all goes well, he could be given the green light to face live hitters later in the week. While the right-hander continues to trend in the right direction, the team has yet to disclose when he could be sent out on a rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Today, 4:54 pm

  • Ryan Brasier goes on 15-day IL with calf strain
    Dodgers placed Ryan Brasier on the 15-day injured list with a right calf strain.

    Advice: Brasier has made 12 appearances for the Dodgers while composing a 4.68 ERA and 12/2 K/BB over 11 2/3 innings. Gus Varland will take Brasier’s place in the bullpen. The calf strain will keep Brasier out at least two weeks, with a chance for him to return in the middle of May if all goes well. Rotoworld Today, 4:40 pm
     
  • Ian Gibaut (forearm) shut down again
    Ian Gibaut (forearm) has been shut down from his rehab assignment.

    Advice: It’s the second time that Gibaut has been shut down from his rehab, and this one comes after a cortisone shot. The right-hander will likely not be able to throw for at least a few days and there’s no timetable for when he’ll be able to join the Cincinnati bullpen. Rotoworld Today, 4:39 pm
     
  • Ken Waldichuk (elbow) throws 25-pitch live BP
    Ken Waldichuk (elbow) threw a 25-pitch live bullpen session Monday.

    Advice: Waldichuk has been on the injured list since the start of the season and isn’t eligible to return until May 27 since he was placed on the 60-day injured list. The left-hander will next throw a sim game, and if all goes well a rehab assignment will come next. He should be making starts for the Athletics by the start of June if there are no setbacks.
