    • Starting rehab assignment
      Gallegos (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

      Advice: Gallegos has been on the shelf since early May with a right shoulder impingement but has shown enough progress in recent live batting practice sessions that he's been cleared for game action. The veteran reliever had allowed 12 runs over nine innings before getting hurt, so the Cardinals could slow-play his rehab assignment to make sure he's sharp before they activate him.

    • Back in big leagues
      The Cardinals recalled Fermin from Triple-A Memphis on Friday.

      Advice: Fermin is just 3-for-15 during his brief time in the majors this season but boasts a 1.076 OPS with six homers and 10 steals at Memphis. He could see some starts at second base against tougher lefties. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
       
    • Lands on IL with oblique strain
      The Cardinals placed Nootbaar on the 10-day injured list Friday, retroactive to May 30, with a left oblique strain.

      Advice: Nootbaar suffered the injury on a check swing during Wednesday's win over the Reds. It's the outfielder's second stint on the IL this season, as he previously missed time with two fractured ribs. The timing is poor, as Nootbaar was slashing .313/.418/.552 with four home runs over his last 79 plate appearances. With Nootbaar out, it's likely Alec Burleson will play more in the outfield and Matt Carpenter will see time at designated hitter. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
       
    • Could be activated soon
      Winn (forearm) threw a 45-pitch bullpen session Monday, and manager Bob Melvin said that the right-hander is "getting close" to a return from the 15-day injured list and could be available to start when his next turn in the rotation comes up, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The bullpen session was the second that Winn has thrown since he was diagnosed with a mild right forearm strain following his May 14 start against the Dodgers before he was placed on the 15-day injured list three days later. The Giants haven't officially decided whether or not Winn will require a rehab assignment prior to being activated, and the club may wait and see how the right-hander is feeling over the weekend before making a call on his next step. If Winn is cleared to make his next turn through the rotation, he would likely take the ball Monday or Tuesday in Arizona. Rotowire.com Today, 8:37 am

    • White Sox recall INF Sosa from Triple-A
      White Sox recalled INF Lenyn Sosa from Triple-A Charlotte, according to Sox Machine’s James Fegan.

      Advice: Sosa is the corresponding move with Bryan Ramos optioned to Triple-A. He’s hitting .284 with six home runs in 16 games at Triple-A. Sosa figures to see time at third base for Chicago. Rotoworld Today, 8:34 am

    • Absent from Friday's lineup
      Busch is not in the lineup for Friday's game versus the Reds.

      Advice: It sounds like the Cubs plan to play Pete Crow-Armstrong in center field more often after they recalled him from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday. That will mean more Cody Bellinger in right field and at first base, where he is playing Friday. Busch could have his playing time dip a bit as a result. The rookie infielder had a stretch in mid-April when he homered in five straight games, but in 37 contests since then he's slashed just .202/.296/.316 with two homers and a 38.6 percent strikeout rate.

    • Completes bullpen session
      Mahle (elbow) threw a bullpen session off a game mound May 18, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: According to Grant, Mahle took the mound for biomechanical evaluation, so it's not entirely clear if he's at the point in his rehab from his May 22, 2023 Tommy John surgery where he's regularly throwing bullpen sessions, or if the Rangers simply wanted to get a quick gauge of where he stood in his recovery. In any case, Mahle is still unlikely to be cleared for game action until after the All-Star break, and he's expected to require an extended minor-league rehab assignment before he's activated from the 60-day injured list.

    • Out of lineup again Friday
      Hurtubise is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cubs.

      Advice: Hurtubise made eight straight starts from May 21-28 and batted leadoff every time the Reds faced a righty over that stretch. However, this now marks two straight games he will begin on the bench since TJ Friedl returned from the injured list. Will Benson has shifted over to left field to accommodate Friedl in center.

    • Makes short rehab start
      Rodriguez (back) struck out one and allowed two hits and two walks over 1.2 scoreless innings in his latest rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Buffalo.

      Advice: Making his second rehab appearance for Buffalo, Rodriguez was lifted after just 16 pitches in what was apparently a pre-planned arrangement, per MLB.com. Rodriguez is scheduled to start again for Buffalo on Friday and is expected to work multiple innings, but he'll still likely require at least one more rehab outing beyond that before the Blue Jays bring him back from the 15-day injured list. Prior to landing on the IL on April 30 with thoracic spine inflammation, Rodriguez had been working as a tandem starter with Bowden Francis (forearm), who is also on the IL but is expected to be activated this weekend. Alek Manoah has since taken over the No. 5 spot in the rotation, but after Manoah exited Wednesday's start with an elbow injury that required an MRI, he could be in danger of landing on the IL. If that ends up being the case, the Rodriguez/Francis tandem pairing could soon be called upon to fill the opening in the rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 8:17 am
