  • First rehab start Sunday
    Urquidy will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Urquidy is slated for four innings and/or 60-to-65 pitches in the outing. It's a fairly substantial workload considering the right-hander has been on the shelf with a forearm strain since mid-March. Urquidy would seemingly need at least one additional rehab start after that before returning to the Astros. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago

  • Goes deep Wednesday
    Adell went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a additional RBI in Wednesday's 5-4 victory versus the Pirates.

    Advice: Adell put the Angels on the board with a solo shot to center field in the third inning, and he added a run-scoring single in the fifth. He finished with his first multi-hit game since April 27. With Mike Trout set to miss extended time due to knee surgery, Adell has become a near-everyday starter in the outfield. However, he's struggled so far this month, slashing .125/.185/.250 with seven strikeouts over seven games, though he does have three RBI and a pair of steals. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
     
  • Guardians acquire Darren McCaughan from Marlins
    Guardians acquired RHP Darren McCaughan from the Marlins for cash considerations.

    Advice: McCaughan heads to Cleveland as extra organizational relief depth after being jettisoned last weekend from Miami’s 40-man roster. The 28-year-old righty has made six relief appearances in the majors since 2021. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago
     
  • Guardians transfer Gavin Williams to 60-day IL
    Guardians transferred RHP Gavin Williams to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: Nothing has changed with Williams from a return timetable standpoint as the procedural move merely clears up a spot on Cleveland’s 40-man roster for newly-acquired reliever Darren McCaughan. The 24-year-old righty has been on the shelf since spring training due to right elbow inflammation, but was able to resume a throwing program last week following a brief setback. There’s a chance he’s ready to return at some point next month. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
     
  • Shifted to 60-day IL
    The Guardians transferred Williams (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

    Advice: The move clears a spot on the team's 40-man roster for the addition of Darren McCaughan. Williams resumed a throwing program a week ago after a brief shutdown period following a setback with his right elbow. It was going to take him a while to get ramped back up anyway, though, so this transaction shouldn't alter his timetable. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago
     
  • Traded to Cleveland
    The Guardians acquired McCaughan from the Marlins in exchange for cash considerations.

    Advice: McCaughan had been designated for assignment by the Marlins after giving up eight earned runs over 4.2 relief innings. The 28-year-old is capable of pitching as a starter or reliever and will give Cleveland swingman depth at Triple-A Columbus. Rotowire.com Today, 11:37 am
     
  • Plays catch Wednesday
    Freeland (elbow) played catch Thursday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

    Advice: It's the first time the left-hander has done anything throwing since he landed on the 15-day injured list in mid-April with a left elbow strain. Freeland will continue with a throwing progression as tolerated but it's too soon to say when he might be ready to re-enter the Rockies' rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 11:32 am
     
  • Returning Friday
    Manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Burdi (hip) will return from the injured list Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Burdi has been on the IL since April 19 due to right hip inflammation. He pitched in a rehab game at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, striking out all three batters he faced in his lone inning of work. The 31-year-old reliever has yet to allow a run through 6.1 frames this season, and he will likely pitch in middle relief upon returning to the Yankees' bullpen. Rotowire.com Today, 11:22 am

  • Sitting out with sore foot
    Giants manager Bob Melvin said Lee is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Colorado due to a sore foot which is the result of a foul ball off his leg in Wednesday's contest, Manny Randhawa of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Lee is receiving treatment and will be reevaluated Friday to see if he's ready to play then. Consider him day-to-day for the time being. Austin Slater is occupying center field in Lee's stead Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 11:04 am
