  • Starting rehab assignment
    Cantillo (hamstring) will make a start in the Arizona Complex League on Thursday

    Advice: Cantillo sustained a strained hamstring toward the end of spring training and was given an 8-to-10-week timetable for return. He seems to be on track with his rehab considering Thursday's start comes around the eight-week mark. A top pitching prospect in the Guardians system, Cantillo got his first taste of Triple-A action last season, logging a 4.64 ERA across 95.0 innings on 18 starts. Rotowire.com Today, 1:05 pm
     
  • Clevinger heading to injured list with elbow issue
    Mike Clevinger has been scratched from Tuesday’s start against the Blue Jays and will be placed on the 15-day injured list due to elbow soreness.

    Advice: Clevinger was scheduled for the start Tuesday against Toronto, but the 33-year-old instead will hit the injured list because of the elbow issue. Jake Woodford will get the start in Clevinger’s place, as he’ll get recalled from Triple-A to take the ball in Clevinger’s absence. Rotoworld Today, 12:47 pm
     
  • Tossing bullpen
    Junis (shoulder/head) threw a bullpen session ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Junis has resumed his throwing program after his rehab from a right shoulder impingement was derailed by a ball that struck him in the head during batting practice April 22. The right-hander was shifted from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL shortly after the incident and is on schedule for a return sometime in June. Hogg also reports that Junis is set for a live bullpen session Friday and would begin a rehab assignment next week if the live bullpen session goes well. Rotowire.com Today, 12:44 pm

  • Headed to IL with sore elbow
    The White Sox placed Clevinger on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to May 25, with right elbow inflammation, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: Clevinger had been slated to start Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays but has landed on the IL instead. It's not yet clear how serious the injury is or how much time Clevinger might miss. Jake Woodford is coming up from Triple-A Charlotte to start Tuesday, and he could be needed for multiple outings.

  • Jakob Junis (shoulder/head) throwing bullpen Tuesday
    Jakob Junis (shoulder/head) is throwing a bullpen for the Brewers on Tuesday.

    Advice: Junis is on the 60-day injured list while recovering from a shoulder injury and also is dealing with a head injury he suffered after he was struck by a ball in batting practice. Junis is eligible to come off the 60-day injured list Tuesday, but there’s no timetable yet for his return. Rotoworld Today, 12:36 pm

  • Stuck on 7-day IL at Triple-A
    Triple-A Gwinnett placed Ynoa on its 7-day injured list April 23 with right elbow inflammation, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Advice: Ynoa posted a 6.52 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB across 9.2 innings in his first three starts with Gwinnett before hitting the shelf. More than a month after being shut down, Ynoa is still without an official timeline for a return. The 26-year-old right-hander held some fantasy utility in 2021 when he turned in a 4.05 ERA while striking out more than a batter per inning over 17 starts with Atlanta, but he hasn't resurfaced at the big-league level since undergoing Tommy John surgery in September 2022. While Ynoa still possesses a spot on Atlanta's 40-man roster, he'll still likely find himself behind several other pitchers in the pecking order for a promotion once he's healthy.

  • Getting another turn in rotation
    Spence will start Tuesday's game against the Rays, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Spence will make a third consecutive start for the A's after opening the season as a long reliever. Spence has lasted 4.2 innings and 3.0 innings across his first two starts, yielding three runs and striking out eight over that stretch. He's thrown 77 and 70 pitches during those two outings, respectively, and shouldn't be a viable fantasy option in most formats. Rotowire.com Today, 11:44 am

  • Ohtani won’t play second game of doubleheader
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Ohtani won’t start the second game of the doubleheader Tuesday against the Mets.

    Advice: Ohtani will get a rare day off in the second game of the twin-billing. With the 29-year-old superstar out, the Dodgers will have Will Smith as the designated hitter and Austin Barnes will get the start behind the plate. Rotoworld Today, 11:19 am
     
  • Officially placed on injured list
    The Pirates placed Perez on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a left groin strain.

    Advice: Perez injured his groin while covering first base during Sunday's start against Atlanta. He initially remained in the game before eventually being pulled. It's not clear at this point how long the southpaw might be sidelined. Quinn Priester will likely be recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis to replace Perez in the Pirates rotation.
