    • First rehab start Sunday
      Urquidy will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Urquidy is slated for four innings and/or 60-to-65 pitches in the outing. It's a fairly substantial workload considering the right-hander has been on the shelf with a forearm strain since mid-March. Urquidy would seemingly need at least one additional rehab start after that before returning to the Astros. Rotowire.com Today, 12:19 pm
       
    • Another impressive outing
      Stone (3-1) picked up the win Wednesday against Miami, allowing one run on six hits and no walks over seven innings. He struck out four.

      Advice: Outside of a solo homer to Bryan De La Cruz in the fourth inning, Stone was exceptional, yielding one run for a third consecutive start. He's lasted at least six innings in three straight outings, dragging his ERA down to 3.55 through 38.0 frames. With Bobby Miller (shoulder) nearing the start of a rehab assignment, Stone could only have a couple more go-arounds in the Dodgers' rotation, with a date at San Francisco on tap for Tuesday.

    • Starting rehab stint
      Astros manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that Urquidy (forearm) is likely to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sugar Land this weekend, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: The right-hander threw live batting practice Tuesday and has now been cleared to pitch in minor-league games. Urquidy was shut down with a forearm strain in mid-March and will likely require a handful of rehab starts before making his season debut for the Astros. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:41 pm
       
    • José Urquidy (forearm) ready for rehab assignment
      José Urquidy (forearm) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Sugar Land over the weekend.

      Advice: Urquidy has been shelved since spring training due to inflammation in his forearm, so he’s going to need at least a couple of rehab starts before he’s an option to join the Astros’ rotation. If he’s able to avoid any setbacks though, a return before the end of May could be realistic. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:26 pm
       
    • Gavin Stone quiets Marlins to collect third win
      Gavin Stone yielded one run over seven innings on Wednesday in a win over the Marlins.

      Advice: Stone was excellent during Wednesday afternoon’s matinee at Dodger Stadium, limiting Miami’s floundering lineup to just a fourth-inning solo shot from Bryan De La Cruz over seven frames. He finished with four strikeouts and didn’t hand out a free pass. The 25-year-old former top pitching prospect has held his own this season in his first extended chance in the big leagues, compiling a respectable 3.55 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 27/13 K/BB ratio across 38 innings (seven starts). He’ll face the division-rival Giants on Tuesday his next time out. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:32 pm
       
    • Nursing back issue
      Astros manager Joe Espada said Wednesday that Pressly is managing lower-back soreness but that it's "nothing worrisome right now," Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: The 35-year-old hasn't pitched since Friday due to the injury, and it's unclear if he'll be available for Wednesday's matchup with the Yankees. Pressly was able to play catch, so it doesn't appear as though he's in danger of needing a trip to the injured list. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:30 pm
       
    • Ryan Pressly dealing with soreness in lower back
      Astros’ manager Joe Espada told reporters on Wednesday that Ryan Pressly hasn’t pitched since Friday due to soreness in his lower back.

      Advice: The 35-year-old hurler was able to play catch on Wednesday and felt alright afterwards, so the Astros remain optimistic that he won’t require a trip to the injured list. Pressly has played a key role in the overall failures of the Astros’ bullpen this season, posting a 5.27 ERA and 1.68 WHIP across his 13 2/3 innings of work. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:15 pm
       
    • Garrett Whitlock (oblique) facing hitters Friday
      Garrett Whitlock (oblique) will face hitters on Friday in a live batting practice session.

      Advice: Whitlock is expected to progress to a minor league rehab assignment next week, which puts him on track to rejoin Boston’s starting rotation mix at some point in mid-to-late May. Rotoworld Tuesday, 2:17 pm

    • Set to face hitters
      Whitlock (oblique) will throw live batting practice Friday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

      Advice: Assuming all goes well during his live BP session, Whitlock will move onto a rehab assignment next week, though it's unclear if he will require more than one start in the minors. The 27-year-old right-hander has been on the injured list since April 17 and just began his throwing program Saturday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 2:15 pm
