• Kris Bubic (elbow) gets rehab assignment extended
    Kris Bubic has had his rehab assignment extended until June 15 as he makes his way back from Tommy John surgery.

    Advice: That’s time for him to make two more starts. Bubic has thus far made seven starts in the minors, the last two of which have seen him total 7 2/3 scoreless innings for Triple-A Omaha. He does have an option year left, so the Royals could leave him in Triple-A when the rehab assignment expires. Rotoworld 6 minutes ago

  • Sent back to Reno
    The Diamondbacks optioned Jacques to Triple-A Reno on Friday.

    Advice: One day after coming up from the minors, Jacques will now return to Triple-A following the arrival of Thyago Vieira, who was claimed off waivers from Baltimore on Thursday. Jacques has allowed seven earned runs in just 6.1 innings since joining the Diamondbacks organization in April, and a return to Arizona isn't likely, barring a significant turnaround.

  • Clayton Kershaw touches 90 mph in sim game
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) touched 90 mph on the gun during a two-inning simulated game in California on Friday.

    Advice: The Dodgers have yet to schedule Kershaw’s first rehab start, but it might not be far off. First, he’ll throw another sim game next week. Kershaw is coming back from November surgery to repair his shoulder capsule and ligaments. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
     
  • Bullpen on tap
    Hall (knee) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: The 25-year-old visited Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles for a second opinion on his sprained left knee Friday and was recommended to receive a PRP injection, but the left-hander will instead follow the initial medical opinion and get back to throwing. Hall made two one-inning rehab appearances in the minors in late May before he tweaked his knee, and he'll likely require at least a few bullpen sessions before being cleared for game action again.

  • Receiving third opinion
    The second opinion Gasser received on his left elbow Friday conflicted with the first evaluation, so he's scheduled to visit a third doctor, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: According to Hogg, Dr. Neal ElAttrache suggested surgery after examining Gasser's elbow Friday, which was in contrast to the initial evaluation from earlier this week. There's apparently no new structural damage with the flexor strain, but the differing treatment recommendation will result in the 25-year-old receiving a third medical opinion. Gasser is without a timeline for his return but could be facing an extended absence. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Surgery recommended for Robert Gasser’s elbow
    Robert Gasser will get a third opinion on his elbow after Dr. Neal ElAttrache suggester he undergo surgery.

    Advice: Gasser definitely has some damage in his elbow, but it sounds like the first opinion suggested rest and rehab. The highly respected ElAttrache saw things differently. There’s still a scenario in which Gasser comes back and contributes this season, but those who picked him up in mixed leagues can move on. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Abner Uribe (knee) goes on minor league IL
    Abner Uribe was placed on the IL at Triple-A Nashville because of a right knee injury.

    Advice: The Brewers will know more after he has an MRI next week. Uribe opened the year as the Brewers’ primary closer, but he was sent down May 1 after amassing a 6.91 ERA in 14 1/3 innings. He allowed just one run but walked seven in 8 2/3 innings in Triple-A before getting hurt. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
     
  • Brandon Williamson experiences shoulder setback
    Brandon Williamson has been shut down for at least a week after a setback with his shoulder on a rehab assignment.

    Advice: Williamson would have been an option to step into the rotation spot vacated by Graham Ashcraft, but that won’t happen now. The left-hander had allowed one run over 13 2/3 innings in four rehab outings. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago
     
  • Roddery Muñoz to start Saturday for Marlins
    Roddery Muñoz will be recalled to start Saturday against the Guardians.

    Advice: Muñoz has made three starts for the Marlins this season, somehow giving up just nine runs despite allowing six homers and walking seven in 15 2/3 innings. He could serve as the Marlins’ fifth starter until Edward Cabrera returns, but the team could also send him down and go with Max Meyer or another alternative if he’s ineffective tomorrow.
