  • Enters for injured starter
    McGough allowed three runs on two hits and two walks over one inning in Friday's 6-1 loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: McGough entered the game on short notice in the sixth inning, inheriting one runner after starter Zac Gallen was removed with a hamstring injury. The reliever allowed a single, walk then a grand slam to Mitch Haniger, the second consecutive appearance in which McGough has ceded a home run. It was the fourth time in the last six outings he's allowed earned runs, and his ERA spiked to 7.30 following Friday's effort. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Just misses quality start
    Mikolas (2-3) picked up the win Friday, giving up two runs on seven hits over 5.2 innings in a 4-2 victory over the Mets. He struck out five without walking a batter.

    Advice: The right-hander fell just short of his third quality start of the season, getting the hook in the sixth inning after 85 pitches (65 strikes) following doubles by Francisco Lindor and J.D. Martinez. Mikolas also served up a homer to light-hitting catcher Tomas Nido, the fourth long ball he's allowed in his last two starts, Mikolas will carry a 5.91 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 25:7 K:BB through 32 innings into his next outing, scheduled to come on the road next week in Detroit.

    Sewald (oblique) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Sewald threw 21 pitches (14 strikes) in a rehab appearance earlier in the week and felt the right kind of soreness a day later. Following Saturday's session and presuming all goes well, the reliever is likely to head out for a second rehab outing. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Kodai Senga (shoulder) to face hitters next week
    Kodai Senga (shoulder) is scheduled to face hitters on Monday in a live batting practice session.

  • Chase Silseth (elbow) resumes throwing Friday
    Chase Silseth (elbow) resumed a throwing program on Friday.

    Advice: Silseth is aiming to rejoin Los Angeles’ starting rotation in early May after landing on the injured list with right elbow inflammation. The 23-year-old righty might wind up requiring a rehab outing, or two, before he’s ready to return, but is tracking towards being ready at some point in May. Rotoworld Today, 4:39 am

  • Cade Cavalli to start rehab assignment in mid-May
    Cade Cavalli (elbow) will begin a minor league rehab assignment in mid-May.

    Advice: It’s been a minute since fantasy managers got a glimpse of Cavalli, one of the top pitching prospects in the game prior to undergoing Tommy John surgery last spring. The 25-year-old righty is scheduled to face hitters next week in a live batting practice session and will require a handful of rehab outings before he’s ready to make his season debut, likely sometime around midseason. He’s reportedly touching 96 mph in bullpen sessions and also added a sinker to his arsenal. Here we go. Rotoworld Today, 4:37 am
     
  • Kyle Bradish strikes out six on Friday at Triple-A
    Kyle Bradish (elbow) recorded six strikeouts and surrendered one run over five innings on Friday in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Norfolk.

    Advice: Bradish appears to be on the precipice of returning to Baltimore’s starting rotation after throwing 77 pitches (49 strikes) over five frames in his latest rehab outing. It’s worth noting that the fastball velocity hasn’t totally rebounded to last year’s levels, but he still managed to induce 13 swinging strikes and finished with a respectable 32 percent CSW in this one. The 27-year-old righty has made a lightning-quick recovery from an offseason UCL sprain in his right elbow and should be rostered in all fantasy formats on the heels of last year’s breakthrough campaign.

  • Braxton Garrett goes three innings in rehab start
    Braxton Garrett (shoulder) allowed two runs over three innings on Friday in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: Garrett struck out four and didn’t hand out a free pass. His fastball velocity still hasn’t returned to previous levels as he was sitting right around 90 mph in this outing. The 26-year-old lefty, who has battled shoulder issues since the outset of spring training, will likely require an additional rehab outing to continue building up his pitch count and stamina after throwing just 59 pitches (37 strikes) in this one.

  • Sem Robberse continues hot start at Triple-A
    Cardinals RHP prospect Sem Robberse struck out six and allowed two runs over seven innings on Friday for Triple-A Memphis.

    Advice: Robberse boasts the second-lowest ERA (1.82) in the International League through five starts after spinning another gem on Friday evening for Triple-A Memphis. He generated 14 swinging strikes and finished with a 32 percent CSW. The 22-year-old righty doesn’t throw hard, but he’s been effective so far in the upper minors since coming over last year in the Jordan Hicks deal with the Blue Jays. Rotoworld Today, 4:19 am
