  • Clears IL
    The Royals reinstated Marsh (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Marsh made his lone rehab start with Triple-A Omaha on May 5, striking out six and giving up one hit and one walk over four shutout innings while throwing 53 pitches. To make room for Marsh, the Royals optioned southpaw Daniel Lynch to Triple-A Omaha. Marsh will take the mound and start in Friday's series opener against the Angels. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

  • Set for another outing
    Smith (shoulder) is slated for an appearance for Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday, Tim Britton of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Smith started his rehab assignment with Syracuse on Wednesday, giving up a solo home run in the eighth inning while throwing 13 pitches. Smith is progressing through right shoulder inflammation that landed him on the 15-day IL on April 17. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
     
  • Throwing off mound
    Johnson (elbow) began throwing off a mound Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Just six days after landing on the injured list, Johnson has already been given the go-ahead to throw bullpen sessions. He will presumably throw a few more before progressing to facing hitters, but the 33-year-old righty could be on track to return to Atlanta's bullpen when eligible May 19.

  • MRI yields good results
    Saucedo (knee) underwent an MRI on Friday which yielded "overall positive" results, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Saucedo was placed on the 15-day injured list with a hyperextended right knee Wednesday and after Friday's imaging, the team is hopeful he can return to the bullpen when he's first eligible to be activated May 23. The left-hander will likely need to make at least one appearance on a rehab assignment before being activated. Rotowire.com Today, 3:32 pm
     
  • Expected back in July
    General manager Justin Hollander said Friday that Santos (lat) will likely remain out until July, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Santos has primarily been throwing from 60-to-90 feet at the Mariners' complex in Arizona, though he has thrown from up to 120 feet out. He will now move his rehab from Arizona to Seattle, though it remains unclear how far away the 24-year-old righty is from throwing off a mound. Santos has been on the IL all season due to a strained right lat. Rotowire.com Today, 3:19 pm
     
  • Progressing through injury
    Phillips (hamstring) was out on the field playing catch Friday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Advice: Phillips was placed on the 15-day IL on Sunday due to a Grade 1 right hamstring strain he sustained May 3 against Atlanta. He is eligible to return May 19, and the right-hander could return to action when his minimum IL stint is complete. Phillips has eight saves with a 0.66 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB over 13.2 innings this season. Rotowire.com Today, 3:19 pm
     
  • Undergoes Tommy John surgery
    Brash underwent Tommy John surgery on Wednesday, Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM reports.

    Advice: Brash injured his right elbow during spring training and was pulled off his throwing program after suffering a setback in late April. He will now be held out for the remainder of the year as a result of his procedure, but the Mariners are hopeful he will return in early June next season. Rotowire.com Today, 3:07 pm

  • Shifting to bullpen
    Thomas Harding of MLB.comRockies manager Bud Black said Friday that Lambert will be moving out of the rotation to the bullpen, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Lambert has started in three games for the Rockies this season, giving up at least four runs in each of them. In his last outing against the Cubs on Thursday, Lambert allowed seven runs on nine hits while striking out two over three innings. The right-hander has a 7.61 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over 23.2 innings this season. Southpaw Ty Blach has one start on the season and he could serve as a spot starter for Colorado moving forward with Lambert moving to the bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 3:07 pm
     
  • Matt Brash undergoes successful Tommy John surgery
    Matt Brash underwent successful Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery on Wednesday.

    Advice: Brash had hit UCL repaired and had the brace procedure done, and the Mariners’ expectation is that he’ll be ready to return to a big league mound in June of 2025. That timeline seems a bit optimistic and will require no setbacks along the way, but we wish him the best of luck in his recovery. Rotoworld Today, 3:04 pm
