  • Designated for assignment
    Jacques was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Friday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: It had been reported that Jacques was being optioned, but as it turns out he's being removed from Boston's 40-man roster, as well. Cam Booser is up to take his spot on both the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Beginning rehab at Double-A
    Hentges (finger) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Akron on Friday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

    Advice: Hentges began facing hitters earlier this week, and he's now ready to get into game action. He dealt with a swollen finger during spring training and has been out for over a month with the issue. Once he's ready to join the major-league roster, he'll be tasked with joining a competitive group that is second in the majors with a 2.29 bullpen ERA. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago

  • Sam Hentges to start rehab assignment Friday
    Guardians sent LHP Sam Hentges (finger) on a rehab assignment with Triple-A Akron.

    Advice: The 27-year-old will be on the bump Friday for the Akron Rubberducks. This will be Hentges’ first live action since being shut down with inflammation in his left middle finger and should be back with the Guardians’ roster in the coming days barring any setbacks. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago

  • John Brebbia (calf) begins rehab assignment Friday
    John Brebbia (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte.

    Advice: The 33-year-old reliever looks to be getting back on track after he suffered calf tightness during a game two weeks ago. His fantasy value has taken a hit this season with Michael Kopech being the White Sox primary closer this season. Brebbia should return to the active roster in the coming days barring any setbacks.

  • Set to begin rehab assignment
    Brebbia (calf) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Charlotte on Friday, LaMond Pope of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Advice: Brebbia is eligible for activation from the 15-day injured list on Sunday, and it would appear he could be back at that time if he can get through Friday's rehab appearance without any hiccups. The veteran reliever has been out the last two weeks with a right calf strain, which was an apparent aggravation of an injury he initially suffered back in February. Rotowire.com Today, 9:59 am

  • Ian Gibaut’s (forearm) return from IL delayed
    Reds RHP Ian Gibaut (forearm) continues to have discomfort and his return has been pushed back.

    Advice: The 30-year-old was placed on the 15-day injured list prior to Opening Day, but the right-handed reliever will now be sidelined for longer than expected. Everything seemed like it was heading in the right direction for Gibaut, so this setback is disappointing to here. We’ll have to wait and see how the team wants to designate him moving forward.

  • Replaces injured starter
    Allen (0-1) was tagged with Thursday's loss, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out three over 4.2 relief innings against the Giants.

    Advice: Allen, who had his contract selected Wednesday to serve as a long reliever, was needed immediately. The left-hander entered to begin the third inning in place of starter Ryne Nelson, who had taken a liner off his elbow the inning before. Allen allowed all three hits and his lone run in that inning of work. He then settled in, utilizing a changeup that's been effective for him at Triple-A Reno according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, and he kept Arizona in the game before departing with two outs in the seventh and the Giants leading, 1-0. Nelson may have avoided serious injury -- X-rays came back negative -- but the club will see how he responds Friday before making any decisions. If he's unable to make his next start, scheduled for Tuesday, Allen is a sensible option as a fill-in starter. Rotowire.com Today, 5:39 am
     
  • Logan Allen bails out Arizona with 4 2/3 frames in relief
    Logan Allen allowed one run over 4 2/3 innings on Thursday in relief against the Giants.

    Advice: Allen saved Arizona’s bullpen with nearly five frames at Oracle Park following starter Ryne Nelson’s early exit from the contest after just two frames due to a right elbow contusion. He struck out three and only issued one walk. It was his first appearance in the majors since May 15, 2022. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:57 pm
