  • Returns from IL on Friday
    Kelly (shoulder) was reinstated from the 7-day injured list Friday and struck out one over a scoreless inning of relief in Triple-A Round Rock's 13-1 win over Albuquerque.

    Advice: Kelly was shelved for just under a month with a shoulder injury before he returned to action for Round Rock earlier this week. The southpaw has made four appearances out of the Triple-A bullpen this season, striking out six while allowing one earned run on two hits and two walks over 3.2 innings.

  • Jose Urquidy (forearm) has live BP moved to Tuesday
    Jose Urquidy (forearm) had his live bullpen session pushed back to Tuesday.

    Advice: Urquidy was scheduled to make that live BP session Sunday, but he’ll get a couple extra days before returning. The right-hander was able to throw 30 pitches in a similar session Wednesday, and he likely will up that total a smidgen once it takes place. Urquidy could be back with the Astros and their injury-riddled rotation by the end of May. Rotoworld Today, 9:17 am

  • Faces hitters in live session
    Senga (shoulder) completed a 32-pitch live batting practice session Saturday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Facing hitters in extended live BP session marks a major milestone in Senga's recovery from a right posterior shoulder capsule strain, which caused him to miss most of spring training and resulted in him opening the season on the 15-day injured list before he was shifted to the 60-day IL on April 10. He won't be eligible to make his season debut until May 27, but Senga appears on target to return on or around that date based on where he currently stands in his recovery. The Mets will see how he bounces back from Saturday's throwing session over the next couple of days before deciding whether he's ready to report to a minor-league affiliate to begin a rehab assignment, or if he'll need to throw another live BP before doing so.

  • Senga (shoulder) throws 32 pitches in live BP
    Kodai Senga (shoulder) threw 32 pitches in his live bullpen session Saturday.

    Advice: Senga has now faced live hitters twice this week. The Mets will now determine the next steps for the right-hander in the coming days, as they want to see how he responds before deciding when he’ll begin a rehab assignment. There’s a very good chance he does begin that assignment at this point, however, and he’s on track to make his return around May 27 — the earliest Senga can be activated off the 60-day IL.

  • Called up for Sunday's start
    Lynch was recalled from Triple-A Omaha and is starting Sunday against the Rangers.

    Advice: The left-hander is taking the rotation spot of Alec Marsh (elbow), who is making a rehab start Sunday and could return from the 15-day injured list later this week. Lynch missed out on Kansas City's season-opening rotation after he posted a 2.77 ERA during spring training, though he hasn't pitched particularly well at Omaha in 2024 with a 5.86 ERA, 1.76 WHIP and 22:9 K:BB across 27.2 innings. He'll be taking the hill on three days' rest after tossing four innings for Omaha on Wednesday, so Lynch could struggle to hit the five innings he would need to qualify for a win.

  • Colin Selby sent to Triple-A by KC on Sunday
    Royals optioned RHP Colin Selby to Triple-A Omaha.

    Advice: Selby was up for a little under a week, and the Royals will send him back to Omaha to make room for Daniel Lynch on the active roster. Selby will likely be back in a low-leverage role at some point in 2024. Rotoworld Today, 7:50 am
     
  • Royals recall Daniel Lynch from Triple-A Omaha
    Royals recalled LHP Daniel Lynch from Triple-A Omaha.

    Advice: Lynch is going to start Sunday’s game against the Rangers. In six starts with Omaha, the left-hander registered a 6.86 ERA and 22/9 K/BB over 27/2 innings. Lynch is a former top prospect, but his lack of consistent success makes him an unworthy fantasy target at this time. Rotoworld Today, 7:48 am
     
  • Mashes eighth homer
    Ohtani went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over Atlanta.

    Advice: Ohtani kicked off the bottom of the third with a leadoff home run, jumping on a hanging four-seamer from Bryce Elder to give the Dodgers a 3-0 lead. The superstar slugger also drove in a second run on a single in the fourth before finishing the contest with three hits for the fourth time this season. Ohtani has now driven in at least one run in eight of his last 11 games and extended his hitting streak to four games with Saturday's performance. Rotowire.com Today, 7:45 am
     
  • Reaches five innings in rehab start
    Woo (elbow) struck out six and allowed three hits and no walks over five shutout innings in his third rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Tacoma.

    Advice: Woo was about as sharp as the Mariners could have hoped in what was likely the final start of his rehab assignment, as he built up to 66 pitches (44 strikes) while making quick work of the Triple-A Sacramento lineup. Provided Woo experiences no complications with his right elbow during a bullpen session within the next couple of days, he should be cleared to return from the 15-day injured list to make his 2024 Mariners debut later this week. Emerson Hancock has been filling in as the Mariners' No. 5 starter while Woo has been out, but Seattle could have room in the rotation for both hurlers if George Kirby (knee) is forced to the 15-day IL. Woo is likely to be activated to start either Thursday in Minnesota or Friday at home versus the Athletics. Rotowire.com Today, 7:16 am
