  • Continuing rehab in Triple-A
    Bradish (elbow) will make his next rehab start with Triple-A Norfolk, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: Bradish made his first rehab appearance Tuesday with Double-A Bowie. He threw 44 pitches and allowed just one hit over three scoreless innings while striking out four. Bradish will now move up to Triple-A Norfolk, as the right-hander continues his rehab from a partial UCL tear that kept him from pitching in spring training. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Heads to bench Friday
    Stott is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

  • Kyle Bradish to make second rehab start soon
    Kyle Bradish (elbow) is expected to make his second minor league rehab start at Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday.

    Advice: The right-hander looked sharp in his first rehab outing on Tuesday — throwing 26 of his 44 pitches for strikes and sitting in the 94-95 mph range with his fastball. He’s expected to need at least three starts before he’s ready to join the Orioles’ rotation. Rotoworld 6 minutes ago

  • Receives breather Friday
    Greene is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Minnesota, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

  • Out of Friday's lineup
    Marsh is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Marsh started the previous four games, including one start against a left-handed pitcher, but he'll take a seat Friday as Garrett Crochet pitches for Chicago. Whit Merrifield will man left field and bat seventh. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Another rough outing
    Puk (0-4) took the loss Friday against the Cubs, allowing seven runs on seven hits and three walks over three innings. He struck out four.

    Advice: It was another short outing for Puk on Friday as Chicago scored three runs over the first two innings before putting up a four spot in the third. Puk's now dropped his first four starts of the year while failing to pitch more than 4.2 innings. The left-hander sports an ugly 9.22 ERA with a 2.63 WHIP while issuing a league-high 17 walks across 13.2 innings. With Braxton Garrett (shoulder) inching closer to a return, the Marlins could elect to move Puk back to the bullpen, where he had considerably more success last season. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago

  • Nearing mound work
    Astros manager Joe Espada said Valdez (elbow) played catch Friday and could throw off a mound as soon as Saturday or Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The left-hander quickly resumed throwing after landing on the injured list April 9 with elbow inflammation, and his return to mound work will be another encouraging step. Valdez won't be ready to return from the injured list when first eligible next week, but given his current progression he could seemingly be back with the Astros sometime in early May.
