  • Throwing off mound
    Johnson (elbow) began throwing off a mound Friday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Just six days after landing on the injured list, Johnson has already been given the go-ahead to throw bullpen sessions. He will presumably throw a few more before progressing to facing hitters, but the 33-year-old righty could be on track to return to Atlanta's bullpen when eligible May 19. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
  • MRI yields good results
    Saucedo (knee) underwent an MRI on Friday which yielded "overall positive" results, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Saucedo was placed on the 15-day injured list with a hyperextended right knee Wednesday and after Friday's imaging, the team is hopeful he can return to the bullpen when he's first eligible to be activated May 23. The left-hander will likely need to make at least one appearance on a rehab assignment before being activated. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
  • Recalled from Sacramento
    The Giants recalled Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

    Advice: With Nick Ahmed (wrist) headed for the injured list, Schmitt will come up from the minors to serve as replacement infield depth. The 25-year-old has spent all of 2024 with Sacramento, slashing .269/.313/.440 with 31 RBI across 147 plate appearances, and he will likely be used primarily off the bench while with the big-league club.

  • Headed to IL
    The Giants placed Ahmed on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left wrist sprain.

    Advice: Ahmed appeared to have sustained the injury on an awkward swing during his at-bat in the third inning in Thursday's game against Atlanta. Tyler Fitzgerald pinch hit for Ahmed in the fourth inning. Casey Schmitt, who was called up from Triple-A Sacramento in a corresponding move, is starting at shortstop and batting seventh for Friday's game against the Reds, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area.

  • Expected back in July
    General manager Justin Hollander said Friday that Santos (lat) will likely remain out until July, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Santos has primarily been throwing from 60-to-90 feet at the Mariners' complex in Arizona, though he has thrown from up to 120 feet out. He will now move his rehab from Arizona to Seattle, though it remains unclear how far away the 24-year-old righty is from throwing off a mound. Santos has been on the IL all season due to a strained right lat. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
  • Progressing through injury
    Phillips (hamstring) was out on the field playing catch Friday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

He is eligible to return May 19, and the right-hander could return to action when his minimum IL stint is complete. Phillips has eight saves with a 0.66 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 17:4 K:BB over 13.2 innings this season. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

  • Shifting to bullpen
    Thomas Harding of MLB.comRockies manager Bud Black said Friday that Lambert will be moving out of the rotation to the bullpen, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Lambert has started in three games for the Rockies this season, giving up at least four runs in each of them. In his last outing against the Cubs on Thursday, Lambert allowed seven runs on nine hits while striking out two over three innings. The right-hander has a 7.61 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over 23.2 innings this season. Southpaw Ty Blach has one start on the season and he could serve as a spot starter for Colorado moving forward with Lambert moving to the bullpen. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
