  • Guardians designate Tyler Beede for assignment
    Guardians designated RHP Tyler Beede for assignment.

    Advice: The 30-year-old right-hander seemingly pitched himself out of a job on Thursday night, giving up five runs on three hits and a pair of walks while recording only one out against the Astros. Overall, he posted an 8.36 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and an 18/9 K/BB ratio over 14 innings with the Guardians. There’s a chance that another club could take a shot at him on waivers.

  • Nails down second save
    Megill earned the save Friday in a 3-1 win over the Cubs, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

    Advice: Megill's appeared in the Brewers' last two save chances -- he set down the four, five and six batters in the Cubs' order Friday after Joel Payamps faced the top of the lineup in the eighth. Megill and Payamps both figure to see their share of ninth-inning work with Devin Williams (back) likely out until the All-Star break. The 30-year-old Megill lowered his ERA to 1.17 with a 0.91 WHIP and 7:3 K:BB through his first 7.2 innings this season. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Potential option for Sunday
    Manoah (shoulder) is throwing a side session Friday and is an option to start Sunday against the Nationals, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Toronto has yet to name a starter for Sunday's contest, and it could be Manoah if he checks out okay after Friday's throwing session. The right-hander was electric in his last rehab start Tuesday with 12 strikeouts and one run allowed over six scoreless innings, and the Blue Jays need to fill out their rotation in the wake of Yariel Rodriguez's back injury.

  • Set for bullpen session
    Middleton (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: Middleton has been on the 15-day IL since the start of the season after sustaining a right forearm strain in mid-March. He recently extended his throwing distance to 110 feet with no setback, and the right-hander has progressed enough to take the next step in his rehab program. Middleton will likely need multiple bullpen sessions without issue before beginning a minor league rehab assignment. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Jeffrey Springs tabbed for spring game on May 20
    Jeffrey Springs (elbow) is set to pitch in an extended spring training game for the Rays on May 20.

    Advice: It’ll be the first time that the 31-year-old southpaw will see live game action since undergoing Tommy John surgery. He’ll probably do that a couple of times before starting a lengthy minor league rehab assignment. If all goes according to plan, Springs could be an option to join the Rays’ rotation at some point around the All-Star break. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
     
  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Athletics transferred Tarnok (hip) to the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Tarnok's move to the 60-day IL will make him ineligible to return until May 28, though the A's were likely always going to take their time building him back up. The 25-year-old righty is scheduled to resume mound work soon and will likely require a minor-league rehab assignment before returning to Oakland's pitching staff. Brett Harris was selected from Triple-A Las Vegas to fill Tarnok's roster spot. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Pete Fairbanks ready to start rehab on Tuesday
    Pete Fairbanks (nerve issue) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham on Tuesday.

    Advice: The 30-year-old hurler has been out since April 22 due to a nerve-related condition that caused him difficulty in gripping the baseball. He should only need an outing or two there before he’s ready to rejoin the Rays’ bullpen. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Limited session coming Saturday
    Snell (thigh) will throw around 50 pitches Saturday during a bullpen session, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Manager Bob Melvin said if all goes well, the team will make a decision on whether Snell will have a rehab assignment or face hitters in live batting practice next. It was already anticipated that Snell would need more than the minimum 15 days on the injured list with his Grade 2 adductor strain, so a mid-May return is still the best-case scenario.

  • Josiah Gray (elbow) to throw bullpen on Saturday
    Josiah Gray (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday.

    Advice: The 26-year-old hurler continues to make slow and methodical progress in his recovery from a flexor strain. If all goes well with Saturday’s session he could then be cleared to face live hitters. There’s still no clear timetable on when he may be able to rejoin the Nationals’ rotation.
