  • Available off bench Saturday
    Young (back) is not starting in Saturday's game against the Blue Jays but is available to pinch hit or run, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Young was removed in the fifth inning of Friday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays due to back spasms, and he was replaced by Jesse Winker. Alex Call will start in center field Saturday and hit eighth against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

  • Josiah Gray (elbow) throws 35-pitch bullpen
    Josiah Gray (elbow) threw a 35-pitch bullpen Saturday.

    Advice: Nationals manager Dave Martinez told reporters that the bullpen session “went well.” Gray is expected to be cleared to face live hitters soon, and if the progress continues, a rehab assignment shouldn’t be far away. Rotoworld 9 minutes ago

  • Nearing rehab assignment
    Kahnle (shoulder) will throw a live batting-practice session Saturday and could begin a rehab assignment thereafter, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Kahnle has been throwing bullpens since mid-April and recently progressed to facing live hitters. The Yankees haven't yet established a firm plan for the veteran reliever, but it appears likely that he'll either have one more live BP after Saturday's session or move onto a minor-league rehab assignment. Kahnle was a key piece of the team's bullpen last season, posting a 2.66 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 48:19 K:BB over 40.2 innings while registering two saves and 14 holds. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
  • Recalled by Philadelphia
    The Phillies recalled Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Saturday.

    Advice: The move corresponds with the Phillies placing Trea Turner on the 10-day IL due to a left hamstring strain. Clemens was called up to the majors in April while Bryce Harper was on paternity leave. Clemens appeared in one game, going 2-for-4 with a three-home run against the Reds on April 22. He's slashing .247/.327/.419 with five doubles, three home runs and 16 RBI over 104 plate appearances in Triple-A. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
  • Headed to IL
    The Phillies placed Turner on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Turner left before the fifth inning of Friday's game against the Cubs after straining his left hamstring running bases in the fourth frame. The 30-year-old shortstop was off to a hot start this season, slashing .343/.392/.460 with 10 doubles, 10 stolen bases, two home runs and nine RBI over 148 plate appearances. Edmundo Sosa is slated to take over as the primary shortstop while Turner recovers from his injury. The Phillies recalled infielder Kody Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley in a corresponding move.

  • Phillies recall Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley
    Phillies recalled INF Kody Clemens from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    Advice: Clemens is up with Trea Turner (hamstring) on the injured list. The 27-year-old Clemens will be a bench option for the Phillies while he’s on the active roster. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
  • Turner heads to 10-day IL with hamstring injury
    Phillies placed INF Trea Turner on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: Turner was removed from Friday’s game against the Giants with soreness in his hamstring, and the Phillies will be without the 30-year-old shortstop for the next week-plus — likely longer. Kody Clemens is up as the corresponding transaction. Edmundo Sosa will likely see most of the reps at shortstop while Turner recovers. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago

  • Back in lineup Saturday
    Grandal is starting at catcher and batting sixth in Saturday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Grandal missed all of spring training due to plantar fasciitis in his foot, and he began the season on the 10-day IL. He played in nine rehab games with Triple-A Indianapolis, posting a .257/.316/.400 with one home run and 11 RBI over 38 plate appearances. Grandal was activated from the IL on Friday, and he's set to make his 2024 debut Saturday against Rockies southpaw Austin Gomber. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
  • Takes big step in recovery
    Cole (elbow) threw 15 pitches off a mound Saturday, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Advice: This was Cole's first bullpen session since he was shut down from throwing in mid-March, thus it was a significant milestone as the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner works his way back to the Yankees rotation. Per Goodman, Cole was "giddy" after throwing Saturday, so it appears the session went well. The veteran right-hander is eligible to come off the IL near the end of this month, but recent reports suggest that mid-June may be a more realistic target. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago
