  • Tracking toward return on Friday
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Phillips (hamstring) is on track for activation from the 15-day injured list Friday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Advice: Phillips struck out two batters in a perfect inning in his first rehab appearance with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday. He's slated for one rehab outing before rejoining the Dodgers for their weekend series at home against the Rockies, assuming all goes well. Upon activation, Phillips should immediately step back in as the Dodgers' closer. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago

  • Evan Phillips (hamstring) could return Friday
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Evan Phillips (hamstring) has a good chance to return to the Dodgers on Friday.

    Advice: Phillips has looked the part in his rehab appearances as he works his way back from the hamstring injury that has sidelined the stopper since May 5. Once back on the roster, there’s every reason to believe that Phillips will receive the bulk of the save chances for Los Angeles, with Daniel Hudson and the rest of the Los Angeles bullpen serving as a bridge to Phillips.

  • DFA'd by Oakland
    The Athletics designated Nevin for assignment on Tuesday.

    Advice: Nevin had a strong start to his campaign for the Athletics with an .875 OPS through his first 25 games, but a 1-for-43 slump will end up costing him his place on the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster. Aledmys Diaz (calf) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

    Diaz (calf) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Diaz has missed the first two months of the 2024 campaign with a strained right calf he sustained in early March. He appeared in 10 games at Triple-A during his rehab assignment and slashed .154/.313/.308 with six walks and five strikeouts in 32 plate appearances. He figures to compete with Max Schuemann and Abraham Toro for work at shortstop and third base. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago

  • Lourdes Gurriel sitting Tuesday against Rangers
    Lourdes Gurriel is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers.

    Advice: Gurriel went just 1-for-10 in the three-game series against the Marlins, and he’s hitting .203 with a .582 OPS thus far in the month of May. He’ll take a seat with Pavin Smith getting the start in right field while hitting fifth. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
