  • Mitch Spence to start for Athletics on Friday
    Athletics’ manager Mark Kotsay told reporters that Mitch Spence will start on Friday night against the Royals in Kansas City.

    Advice: Kotsay noted that for now, it’s just a one-start thing, but that if Spence pitches well he could secure a spot in the team’s rotation. The 26-year-old Rule-5 pick has registered a 4.26 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and a 22/7 K/BB ratio over 25 1/3 innings in 11 appearances with the A’s this season. He threw 72 pitches against the Marlins on May 5, so he may be able to work deep enough into Friday’s outing to earn a victory if the A’s offense provides enough support. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
  • Another rehab outing on tap
    Francis (forearm) is scheduled to make a rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo on Saturday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Francis opened the rehab assignment Tuesday and covered two scoreless innings. The 28-year-old righty-hander will likely fill a long-relief role upon his return, so he could be deemed ready for activation following Sunday's outing. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
  • Requires additional rehab start
    Urquidy (forearm) will make another rehab start after his upcoming outing at Double-A Corpus Christi on Saturday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Manager Joe Espada said Urquidy is slated for four innings (60-65 pitches) in Saturday's contest, so the Astros will keep him in the minors for an additional rehab appearance in hopes of stretching him out further. The 29-year-old righty struggled in his first rehab outing, giving up three earned runs across 2.2 innings with Triple-A Sugar Land. Assuming his third start in the minors will be his last, Urquidy is in line to pitch again for the Astros in Seattle on May 29. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

  • Athletics option Hogan Harris to Triple-A
    Athletics optioned LHP Hogan Harris to Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: With Brandon Bielak joining the big league roster on Friday, someone needed to get the boot, and it looks like Harris drew the short straw this time around. The 27-year-old southpaw posted a 4.15 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and an 8/3 K/BB ratio over 8 2/3 innings with the A’s. He’ll continue to refine his craft at the Triple-A level for the time being.

  • Recalled by Houston
    The Astros recalled Mushinski from Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday.

    Advice: Since being optioned to Triple-A on April 12, Mushinski has appeared in 12 games for Sugar Land, registering a 4.15 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB over 13 frames. The southpaw has not yielded a run over his last six minor-league outings, and he'll provide Houston left-handed depth out of the bullpen. The Astros optioned right-hander Shawn Dubin to Triple-A Sugar Land in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
  • Slated for rehab assignment
    Green (shoulder) is expected to pitch Sunday with Triple-A Buffalo, Shi Davidi of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Advice: Gren has been nursing a right shoulder strain since mid-April but seems close to returning to the big-league roster. Assuming he doesn't endure any setbacks, Green could rejoin the Blue Jays before the end of the month. Rotowire.com Today, 1:40 pm

  • Starts playing catch
    Bautista (elbow) is playing catch, Danielle Allentuck of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reported Friday.

    Advice: Bautista is continuing to rehab from Tommy John Surgery back in October of 2023 and an additional surgery in February. While a 2024 return hasn't been ruled out and Friday's update was positive, it's highly unlikely Bautista will be ready this season. Rotowire.com Today, 1:29 pm
  • Sent to minors
    Dubin was optioned to Triple-A Sugar Land on Friday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Less than 24 hours after making his first career big-league save, Dubin was sent down to Triple-A in a corresponding move to Parker Mushinski's call-up. In 13.2 innings with the Astros, Dubin logged a 6.59 ERA with a 13:7 K:BB. Rotowire.com Today, 1:22 pm
  • Starting rehab stint
    Devenski (knee) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Durham on Friday.

    Advice: Devenski will take the next step in his recovery from right knee tendinitis, an injury that's kept him sidelined since April 24. It's unclear how long of a rehab assignment he'll need, but he's on track to return before the end of May. Rotowire.com Today, 1:17 pm
