  • Throwing bullpen session
    Cabrera (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It will be his first time throwing off the bump since he landed on the 15-day injured list on May 8 with a right shoulder impingement. Cabrera has been on the IL twice this season with the same injury and it's not clear how long he'll be sidelined this time around, but he's on the comeback trail. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago
  • Cleared for rehab assignment
    Anderson (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Jacksonville on Saturday, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Anderson will play for Jacksonville on Saturday and Sunday before being reevaluated. He is eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Tuesday and it would appear he's in line to return at that time, assuming all goes well. Anderson has been battling lower-back tightness.

  • Rehab assignment coming
    Rodriguez (back) is scheduled to pitch at Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

  • Receiving rest day
    Alvarez is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Alvarez has a .646 OPS through 15 games in May and went 1-for-11 with five strikeouts over the past three contests, and he'll sit Friday after starting the first 44 games of the campaign. Yainer Diaz will serve as the designated hitter while Victor Caratini starts behind the plate. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
  • Idle versus lefty
    Moniak is not in the lineup for Friday's matchup against the Rangers.

    Advice: The lefty hitting Moniak will start from the dugout as the Angels take on southpaw Andrew Heaney. Kevin Pillar will start at center field and bat fourth in place of Moniak with Taylor Ward and Jo Adell rounding out the Los Angeles outfield. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
  • Slated for rehab assignment
    Green (shoulder) is expected to pitch Sunday with Triple-A Buffalo, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Gren has been nursing a right shoulder strain since mid-April but seems close to returning to the big-league roster. Assuming he doesn't endure any setbacks, Green could rejoin the Blue Jays before the end of the month. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago

  • Slated for promotion
    The Dodgers will recall Vargas from Triple-A Oklahoma City, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The Dodgers are also set to activate Jason Heyward (back) from the injured list. There's no word yet on what the corresponding moves will be, but a demotion for James Outman is one scenario. Vargas has been used exclusively in left field with Triple-A Oklahoma City this season, slashing .295/.437/.583 with eight home runs and eight stolen bases. He could see ample playing time in left field for the Dodgers. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
  • Hitting live BP
    Votto (ankle) started hitting live BP this week and could start playing games soon, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Votto has been undergoing a slow ramp-up period with a sprained right ankle he sustained in March, and is close to playing in games. Once he's ready, Votto will likely report to Triple-A Buffalo for game action. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago

  • Gets break Friday
    Rafaela is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Rafaela will get a break as Boston kicks off their series against the Cardinals. The second year major leaguer has played primarily at shortstop this season for the Red Sox, though this is the first game since mid-April that he'll get a break from the field altogether as he's filled in at outfield when not starting at short.
