  • Activation imminent
    Duran (oblique) is with the Twins in Chicago for their series against the White Sox and his activation from the 15-day injured list appears imminent, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

    Advice: There's no word on Duran possibly being activated Monday, but it sounds like he should join the roster at some point during the series. The closer has been out all season with a right oblique strain but is ready to roll after making two rehab appearances. It's possible manager Rocco Baldelli will want to see Duran in a low-leverage spot or two initially, but it shouldn't be long before he's closing again for the Twins.

  • Orioles activate Cionel Perez off 15-day IL
    Orioles activated LHP Cionel Perez off the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: Perez made just one appearance with the O’s before needing to be placed on the injured list with his left oblique strain. He’ll be a mid-to-late inning option out of the bullpen now that he’s healthy. Dillon Tate is sent back to Triple-A Norfolk to make room on the roster. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
     
  • Orioles option Dillon Tate to Triple-A Norfolk
    Orioles optioned RHP Dillon Tate to Triple-A Norfolk.

    Advice: Tate has been relatively successful in his 12 2/3 innings with a 2.84 ERA and 6/6 K/BB. The right-hander is being optioned down to make room for Cionel Perez with Perez coming off the injured list Monday. Tate will be back at some point as a middle-inning option.

  • Craig Kimbrel day-to-day with back tightness
    Orioles manager Brandon Hyde told reporters Monday that Craig Kimbrel is day-to-day with back tightness.

    Advice: Kimbrel left Sunday’s appearance against the Athletics with tightness in his back, and he’s considered day-to-day at this point. The 35-year-old may not appear for a day or two, but for now, it doesn’t appear this is a long-term injury. Yennier Cano will likely get the save chances for the Orioles while Kimbrel is away.

  • Shut down with knee tendinitis
    The Rays placed Devenski on the 15-day injured list Monday with right knee tendinitis.

    Advice: Devenski's placement on the IL is retroactive to Friday, so he'll be eligible to return as soon as May 11. The Rays called up Jacob Lopez from Triple-A Durham to fill Devenski's spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Day-to-day with back tightness
    Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Monday that Kimbrel (back) is considered day-to-day, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Kimbrel failed to record an out and was charged with two earned runs and his second consecutive blown save in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Athletics before being lifted from the contest due to upper-back tightness. The team is hopeful that Kimbrel can avoid a stint on the 15-day injured list, but he presumably won't be available Monday against the Yankees, and potentially a few more days beyond that. Yennier Cano is the favorite to close for the Orioles while Kimbrel recovers. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Chris Devenski heads to IL with knee tendinitis

  • Activated from injured list
    The Orioles activated Perez (oblique) from the 15-day injured list Monday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: Perez has been out most of this season with a right oblique strain but is ready to go after making two rehab appearances. Right-hander Dillon Tate was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Sent down to Triple-A
    The Orioles optioned Tate to Triple-A Norfolk on Monday, Rich Dubroff of BaltimoreBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: Tate holds a 2.84 ERA this season, although that's come with a 6:6 K:BB over 12.2 innings. This seems to mostly be a case of him having options left working against him, however. Cionel Perez (oblique) was reinstated from the 15-day injured list and will take over Tate's spot on the active roster. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
