  • Yariel Rodríguez records one out Tuesday at AAA
    Yariel Rodríguez (back) recorded one out on Tuesday in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: Rodríguez threw 16 pitches (nine strikes) in his first rehab outing since landing on the injured list back in late April with back inflammation. The 27-year-old righty will presumably be built up to handle a multi-inning relief role with Alek Manoah pitching reasonably well since rejoining Toronto’s starting rotation.

  • Bobby Miller (shoulder) set for rehab start Sunday
    Bobby Miller (shoulder) faced hitters on Tuesday in a three-inning simulated game at Dodger Stadium.

    Advice: Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters afterwards that Miller will make a minor league rehab start on Sunday for Single-A Rancho Cucamonga. The hard-throwing 25-year-old righty will likely require a handful of rehab outings to build up his pitch count and stamina as he works his way back from right shoulder inflammation that put him on the shelf back in mid-April.

  • Throws sim game Tuesday
    Miller (shoulder) threw a three-inning, 51-pitch sim game Tuesday and is expected to make a rehab start with Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Sunday, according to manager Dave Roberts.

    Advice: Miller has been out since April 13 while nursing right shoulder inflammation, but he got one step closer to returning Tuesday. The 25-year-old will likely need to make multiple rehab starts with the team's minor-league affiliates before potentially returning to the major-league roster in early June.

  • Starting Wednesday at Triple-A
    Thompson is scheduled to start for Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democratreports.

    Advice: Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol named the left-hander as a candidate to start Saturday against the Cubs, but it appears he'll remain in the minor-league rotation. Thompson could still be an option for St. Louis if Wednesday's outing is a brief one, but the organization seems more likely to go in another direction at this point.

  • Throwing off mound Wednesday
    Olson (hip) will throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

    Advice: Olson had to make an early exit from his start Monday against the Royals after taking a comebacker off his right hip. The right-hander managed to escape the incident with nothing more than a bruise, but the Tigers will have him throw a bullpen session to make sure Olson will be able to make his next scheduled start Saturday against Toronto.

  • Rejoining rotation Wednesday
    Pepiot (lower leg) will be reinstated from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday against the Red Sox, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: The 26-year-old righty landed on the shelf with a bruised lower left leg after his May 5 start versus the Mets, but he'll return Wednesday after being sidelined for the 15-day minimum. Any workload limitations for Pepiot will likely be minor, given the brevity of his absence. Rotowire.com Today, 3:22 pm

  • Matt Manning starting Friday vs. Blue Jays
    Matt Manning will start on Friday against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The Tigers are waiting until Kenta Maeda (illness) throws a bullpen session on Wednesday or Thursday before determining his next steps. It’s possible he’ll be ready to take the ball at some point this weekend, but for now it’ll be Manning drawing another start for Detroit. Rotoworld Today, 3:12 pm
     
  • Dustin May (elbow) throws first bullpen session
    Dustin May (elbow) threw his first bullpen session on Tuesday since undergoing flexor tendon surgery last July.

    Advice: May is aiming to return to Los Angeles at some point later this year as he works his way back from last year’s surgery, which also included a UCL revision on his right elbow. The 26-year-old righty was one of the most promising young pitchers in baseball a few years ago, but he’s been derailed by injuries. Rotoworld Today, 3:08 pm

  • Making next rehab start Friday
    Uquidy (forearm) will make a rehab start Friday with Triple-A Sugar Land, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The right-hander threw 59 pitches in his previous outing Saturday and is expected to build up to 70-to-75 pitches Friday. If all goes well, Urquidy could step into Houston's rotation during the four-game series in Seattle next week. Rotowire.com Today, 2:45 pm
