  • Returns from IL
    The Rays reinstated Bradley (pectoral) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Advice: Bradley is slated to make his season debut Friday against the Yankees at Tropicana Field, but the Rays opted to activate the right-hander two days early after rotation mate Ryan Pepiot (lower leg) was placed on the 15-day IL in a corresponding move. The 23-year-old showed no sign of being affected by the pectoral strain he suffered in spring training over the course of his two rehab starts with Triple-A Durham, as he struck out 15 while allowing one earned run on two hits and three walks across 11 innings. Bradley built up to 94 pitches in his second outing with Durham last Friday and shouldn't face any workload restrictions in his first start with Tampa Bay. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
     
  • Throws off mound Wednesday
    Rodriguez (shoulder) threw 15 pitches off the mound Wednesday, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Advice: It's the first time Rodriguez has thrown off a mound since he landed on the 15-day injured list a week ago with right shoulder inflammation. The hope is that the right-hander will be ready to go when his 15 days are up, but he still has some hurdles to clear in order to make that a reality. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Placed on IL
    The Rays placed Pepiot on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left lower leg contusion.

    Advice: The transaction is retroactive to Monday, so Pepiot could be activated as soon as May 21 if he makes a speedy recovery from the leg injury, which he suffered when he was hit by a line drive in Sunday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Mets. Taj Bradley (pectoral) was reinstated from the 15-day IL in a corresponding move and will be plugged into Pepiot's spot in the rotation beginning with Friday's game against the Yankees.

  • Cardinals and Mets postponed on Wednesday
    Wednesday’s scheduled contest between the Cardinals and Mets in New York was postponed due to rain.

    Advice: The game will be made up on August 5. The Cardinals’ scheduled starter, Sonny Gray, will pitch on Thursday against the Brewers. It’s likely that Mets’ scheduled starter Jose Quintana will pitch on Friday, but that has not yet been confirmed and the Mets could opt to skip his spot in the rotation. Rotoworld 11 minutes ago

  • Activated prior to Wednesday start
    The Red Sox activated Pivetta (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday.

    Advice: Pivetta will rejoin the Red Sox' rotation Wednesday with a start against Atlanta. The right-hander has been sidelined since April 9 with a right elbow flexor strain but was cleared to return after making one rehab start. He went just three innings and threw only 62 pitches in his lone rehab outing, so Pivetta probably won't be stretched out for a full workload Wednesday. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

  • Rays activate Taj Bradley, set to start on Friday
    Rays activated RHP Taj Bradley from the 15-day injured list.

    Advice: The 23-year-old hurler will make his highly-anticipated season debut on Friday against the Yankees. The 23-year-old hurler made a pair of minor league rehab starts at Triple-A Durham where he posted a minuscule 0.82 ERA, 0.46 WHIP and a 15/3 K/BB ratio across 11 innings of work. It’s a tough matchup against the Bombers, but fantasy managers shouldn’t shy away from using Bradley in that start. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Rays place Ryan Pepiot (leg) on 15-day IL
    Rays placed RHP Ryan Pepiot on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 6, with a left lower leg contusion.

    Advice: Taj Bradley was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move and will make his 2024 regular season debut on Friday against the Yankees. Fortunately for fantasy managers, Pepiot should only need a minimum stint on the injured list and should be ready to jump right back into the Rays’ rotation when that time comes.

  • Mets-Cardinals game postponed

  • Mets-Cardinals postponed Wednesday
    Quintana and the Mets won't face the Cardinals on Wednesday after the game was postponed due to inclement weather in St. Louis, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The two teams will make up the game Aug. 5. Assuming Quintana wasn't too overtaxed from his warmup prior to Wednesday's game being postponed, he could have his next start pushed back to Friday's series opener versus Atlanta following Thursday's team off day. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
