  • Moves closer to return
    Kelly (undisclosed) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is nearing a return, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    Advice: The details on Kelly's injury are still unknown, but it appears his return may be sooner than expected. The southpaw pitcher is currently on the 40-man roster for the Rangers and if able to return soon could get called up, especially with reliever Josh Sborz recently assigned to Double-A for shoulder rehab.

  • Throwing off mound this weekend
    Hendricks (back) will throw a bullpen session this weekend in Boston, Bruce Levine of 670TheScore.com reports.

    Advice: The Cubs will map out a plan for Hendricks' rehab based on how he feels during and after the bullpen session. Hendricks was placed on the injured list Tuesday with a lower-back strain. Given his 12.00 ERA in five starts this season, the team might elect to give him ample time on a rehab assignment in hopes he can get back on track. Rotowire.com Today, 1:59 pm
     
  • Draws start Wednesday
    Blach is slated to start Wednesday's game against the Padres at Coors Field.

    Advice: Per Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com, the Rockies are likely to treat Wednesday's contest as a bullpen day, as Blach tossed an inning of relief Monday and may not be ready to handle a typical starter's workload just two days later. Prior to getting a call-up from Triple-A Albuquerque last weekend, Blach had made four starts for the Rockies' top affiliate, logging a 3.45 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB in 15.2 innings. Blach will presumably be in line for just one start before moving back to the bullpen after Wednesday's game. Rotowire.com Today, 1:33 pm

  • Kyle Gibson strikes out six in Cardinals’ win
    Kyle Gibson limited the Diamondbacks to one run in six innings and struck out six in the Cardinals’ 5-1 victory Wednesday.

    Advice: The Diamondbacks did Gibson a favor, giving Ketel Marte, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Gabriel Moreno the day off, and Gisbon went on to have a pretty easy day. His 14 whiffs and 36% CSW were both season highs. He’ll carry a 2-2 record and a 4.35 ERA into Detroit for his next start. Rotoworld Today, 1:02 pm
     
  • Jordan Montgomery goes seven against Cardiansl
    Jordan Montgomery yielded three runs — two earned — in seven innings Wednesday in a loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Montgomery cruised through five innings before giving up three hits and two runs in the sixth. The unearned run came after a Blaze Alexander error in the seventh. Montgomery struck out four and walked one in the efficient 87-pitch outing. He’ll take on the Dodgers next. Rotoworld Today, 1:02 pm
     
  • Set to start Friday
    Priester is slated to make his next appearance as the starting pitcher for Friday's game against the Giants in San Francisco, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Earlier in the week, the Pirates listed Priester as their probable starter for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, but Pittsburgh is instead having Josh Fleming open Wednesday's contest for what will be a bullpen day. Priester won't have his turn in the rotation skipped, however, as the Pirates will simply push him back in the schedule a couple of days to have him start Friday's series opener at Oracle Park. Priester will look to rebound after he struggled mightily in his 2024 MLB debut this past Friday versus the Red Sox, taking a loss while allowing five runs (four earned) on seven hits and one walk over 4.1 innings.

  • Shut down after setback with elbow
    Williams will receive an injection and be shut down for seven days after feeling right elbow discomfort Wednesday following a start in extended spring training, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The soreness was similar to what he first felt during spring training in a weighted-ball workout. The Guardians are hopeful that Williams can begin a throwing program in a week and ramp things back up, but it's certainly no guarantee things will go that smoothly. Even in a best-case scenario, Williams figures to be sidelined well into May now. Rotowire.com Today, 12:38 pm
     
  • Starting rehab assignment
    Perez (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday, Brent Maguire of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Perez has been out since the opening weekend of the season with a right oblique strain but has trended in a good direction recently and is ready to test things out in a game setting. He figures to need at least a couple rehab appearances before rejoining the Orioles' bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 12:14 pm
     
  • Picked up by Texas
    The Rangers claimed Ingram off waivers from the Mets on Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: Ingram has bounced around from the Tigers to the Mets and now to the Rangers since February in the waivers process. The left-handed reliever holds a 7.20 ERA and 3:6 K:BB over five innings this season at the Triple-A level. Rotowire.com Today, 12:11 pm
