  • Draws another start
    Henry is slated to make his next start Monday against the Dodgers at Chase Field.

    Advice: Henry made his return to the big leagues Tuesday in impressive fashion, as he limited the Cardinals to one run on five hits and one walk over six innings while striking out six en route to his first win of the season. The southpaw should have a spot in the rotation locked down until at least one of the two starters currently on the injured list -- Merrill Kelly (shoulder) and Ryne Nelson (elbow) -- are cleared to return from the shelf.

  • Set for second rehab start Thursday
    Megill (shoulder) is scheduled to make the second start of his minor-league rehab assignment Thursday with Double-A Binghamton, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: On the shelf since April 1 with a right shoulder strain, Megill appears to be nearing the finish line of his recovery process after he began in his rehab assignment Saturday with High-A Brooklyn. Megill struck out six over two perfect innings with Brooklyn, but he'll move up a rung on the minor-league ladder and look to build up his pitch count to around 60 when he takes the mound again Thursday. After his upcoming outing with Binghamton, Megill will likely require one more rehab start beyond that before being deemed ready to rejoin the Mets rotation. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
     
  • Kicks off rehab assignment
    Peterson (hip) will begin a rehab assignment Sunday with Single-A St. Lucie, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Peterson will likely be in store for a light workload as he begins his rehab assignment and makes his first appearance in affiliated ball Sept. 28, 2023. The southpaw, who underwent left hip surgery over the offseason, is on the Mets' 60-day injured list and is expected to be built up slowly over the next month before he's eligible for activation beginning May 27. Peterson's performance during the rehab assignment as well as the state of New York's rotation by late May will likely determine whether he takes back a starting spot upon his return or is eased back into the mix as a multi-inning reliever.

  • Out with shoulder inflammation
    The Angels placed Cisnero on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to right shoulder inflammation.

    Advice: The right-hander presumably suffered the injury during his appearance against the Twins on Friday, when he allowed three runs over two-thirds of an inning. Ciscnero will be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks but is without an official timeline for his return. Rotowire.com Today, 11:57 am
     
  • Entering big-league rotation
    The Royals are planning to call up Bowlan from Triple-A Omaha on Monday to start the club's series opener in Toronto, Jaylon T. Thompson of The Kansas City Star reports.

    Advice: Bowlan will be entering the big-league rotation as a replacement for Alec Marsh (elbow), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday. The 27-year-old right-hander previously made a spot start among his two appearances with Kansas City in 2023, but Monday will mark his 2024 MLB debut. Over 21 innings at Omaha this season, Bowlan has submitted a 2.57 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB. Rotowire.com Today, 11:57 am
     
  • Makes four-inning start at Triple-A
    Meyer worked four innings in his start Saturday for Triple-A Jacksonville, striking out two while giving up four earned runs on six hits and no walks.

    Advice: Meyer's results in his second start with Jacksonville were less noteworthy than the fact that he pitched at all for the Triple-A club, as the organization's decision to have him take the hill this weekend suggests that he isn't viewed as a candidate to fill the rotation spot at the big-league level that recently opened up when Jesus Luzardo (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Despite Meyer's success in his three outings with the big club earlier this season (2.12 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB in 17 innings), the Marlins seem committed to keeping him on a once-a-week pitching schedule in the minors wherein he makes abbreviated starts, as the organization is keen on managing his 2024 workload coming off his August 2022 Tommy John surgery. Meyer is expected to rejoin the big-league rotation at some point in the second half of the season, though he could still operate under some restrictions with his innings or pitch counts at that time.

  • Angels designate Jimmy Herget for assignment
    Angels designated RHP Jimmy Herget for assignment.

    Advice: Herget is off the 40-man roster to make room for Zac Kristofak. If Herget goes unclaimed, the right-hander will have the option to declare for free agency, or he can report back to Triple-A Salt Lake. Rotoworld Today, 11:22 am
     
  • Angels place RHP Cisnero on IL with shoulder issue
    Angels placed RHP José Cisnero on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation.

    Advice: Cisnero will be out at least two weeks while he recuperates. The right-hander is being replaced on the roster with Zac Kristofak, with Jimmy Herget designated for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster. Rotoworld Today, 11:20 am
     
  • Nick Ahmed out of lineup Sunday vs. Pirates
    Nick Ahmed is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Ahmed will take a seat, and it sounds like the infielder is a little banged up at the moment; although there is no injury designation thus far. He did tell Susan Slusser that he is available off the bench if necessary. Tyler Fitzgerald gets the start in Ahmed’s place. Rotoworld Today, 11:10 am
