  • Dealing with neck stiffness
    Bachman (shoulder) pulled himself from a rehab outing Thursday due to a stiff neck, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Bachman is attempting to return from offseason shoulder surgery and began a rehab assignment May 25. His second appearance was slated to last two frames, but the neck issue instead limited Bachman to just two-thirds of an inning. The right-hander said he felt better the following day, but it's unclear when his next rehab outing may take place. Rotowire.com Today, 10:31 am
     
  • Kicks off rehab assignment
    Silseth (elbow) threw three scoreless innings Friday, allowing one hit and striking out three batters, in a rehab appearance with the Angels' Arizona Complex League team.

    Advice: Silseth looked good in the outing and threw 23 of his 39 pitches for strikes. The right-hander has been on the shelf since April 8 but is nearing eligibility to return from the 60-day IL. Silseth will almost certainly need at least one, and likely multiple, additional rehab starts before he's ready to be activated. With struggling Reid Detmers demoted to the minors Saturday, there is a space in the big-league rotation available for Silseth upon his return. Rotowire.com Today, 10:24 am

  • Angels bring up Ben Joyce from Double-A
    Angels recalled RHP Ben Joyce from Double-A Rocket City.

    Advice: Joyce is the corresponding transaction for Reid Detmers after Detmers was demoted to Triple-A by the Angels on Saturday night. Joyce has posted a mediocre 4.26 ERA in his 18 appearances with the Trash Pandas, but he has struck out 34 over 19 innings thanks in large part to his impressive 100-plus mph fastball.

  • Colin Poche (back) beginning rehab assignment
    Colin Poche (back) is beginning a rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: Poche has been on the injured list since the end of April with tightness in the middle of his back. The 30-year-old will likely make a handful of relief appearances, and if things go well, he could be back with the Rays as a late-inning option in the middle of June. Rotoworld Today, 10:16 am
     
  • Secures first win
    Webb (1-3) walked one and struck out one over 2.1 scoreless and hitless innings to earn the win over the Rays on Saturday.

    Advice: Webb has kept runs off the board over his last 5.2 innings. He was called on early Saturday as Kyle Bradish struggled over 2.2 innings, but Webb was able to set the tone as the Orioles' five relievers gave up just four baserunners over the rest of the contest. Webb is at a 2.08 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 24:13 K:BB with two saves and five holds across 26 innings this season. He continues to see some work as a setup man while also often pitching in the middle innings. Rotowire.com Today, 10:11 am
     
  • Making rehab start Sunday
    Wicks (forearm) making a rehab start with Triple-A Iowa on Sunday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Networkreports.

    Advice: The 24-year-old covered 3.1 innings during his previous rehab outing Tuesday and will continue building up his workload Sunday with Iowa. It remains to be seen if Wicks will require an additional rehab appearance or if he'll be cleared to rejoin the Cubs. Rotowire.com Today, 10:10 am
     
  • Adbert Alzolay (forearm) moved to 60-day IL
    Cubs transferred RHP Adbert Alzolay from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: Alzolay is now off the 40-man roster, and the Cubs used that space to select the contract of David Bote. Alzolay has been on the injured list since May 13 with a forearm strain, and he’s now not eligible to return to the Chicago bullpen until July 13. It’s plausible we won’t see him back much later than that date. Rotoworld Today, 10:09 am
     
  • Months away from return
    Graterol (shoulder) hasn't yet resumed playing catch and is likely at least two months away from being able to return to the Dodgers' bullpen, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Graterol landed on the IL with right shoulder inflammation prior to the Dodgers' season-opening series in South Korea. The righty reliever began a throwing progression in mid-April, but that was stopped after about a week due to continued soreness. Manager Dave Roberts said Saturday that Graterol hasn't yet resumed playing catch and added, "In the context of spring training, if you're not even playing catch, you're at least a couple months away."

  • Shifts to 60-day IL
    The Cubs transferred Alzolay (forearm) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: The right-hander has been sidelined nearly three weeks by a forearm strain and remains shut down from throwing, so the move likely won't significantly affect his return timeline. Alzolay will be eligible to be activated around the All-Star break, and there should be a better idea of when he'll return once he starts up a throwing program. Rotowire.com Today, 9:54 am
