  • Bobby Miller to rejoin Dodgers’ rotation Wednesday
    Dodgers’ skipper Dave Roberts told reporters on Friday that Bobby Miller (shoulder) will rejoin the team’s starting rotation on Wednesday against the Rockies in Colorado.

    Advice: While the results weren’t there in his final rehab start on Thursday, Miller came through the game healthy and that’s all the really matters at this point. He has made just three starts at the big league level this season, posting a 5.40 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and an 18/6 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 innings of work. It’s unclear if the Dodgers will switch to a six-man rotation, or if James Paxton or Gavin Stone will get bumped from the rotation to accommodate Miller’s return. Rotoworld Today, 3:42 pm
     
  • Zac Gallen to throw simulated game on Tuesday
    Diamondbacks’ manager Torey Lovullo told reporters on Friday that right-hander Zac Gallen (hamstring) will pitch in a simulated game on Tuesday.

    Advice: The 28-year-old hurler is slated for three innings or around 45 pitches in the session. After that, he’ll likely need another simulated game — or perhaps a minor league rehab start — before he’s ready to return to the Diamondbacks’ rotation. Gallen has been sidelined since the end of May due to a right hamstring strain. Rotoworld Today, 3:27 pm
     
  • Another bullpen on tap
    Faedo (hip) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session Tuesday, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.

    Advice: Faedo said he felt "really good" Thursday after completing his first bullpen session since being placed on the injured list June 5. With another bullpen coming Sunday, Faedo seems likely to begin a rehab stint in the near future and could be back with the Tigers by the end of June. Rotowire.com Today, 3:10 pm

  • Resuming assignment
    Mata (hamstring) will resume his rehab assignment at Double-A Portland on Friday or Saturday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

    Advice: Mata remains without a clear return timeline, but he appears to be trending in the right direction since being pulled off his assignment in May due to shoulder/lat soreness. The 25-year-old righty has been on the IL all season, and because he is out of minor-league options, he would either need to join the big-league roster or be designated for assignment upon returning.

  • Could join Brewers next week
    Junis (shoulder) will pitch another sim game in Arizona on Monday and could join the Brewers afterward, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The Brewers embark on a seven-game West Coast trip Monday, playing three-games in Los Angeles and four in San Diego. Already in Arizona, Junis could rejoin the team during that stretch, though it's unclear if he'd immediately return to the rotation or would be eased in from the bullpen. The 31-year-old was moved to Arizona from Triple-A Nashville due to velocity concerns and most recently threw a four-inning simulated game Wednesday. Rotowire.com Today, 2:49 pm

  • Takes loss Friday
    Wesneski (2-4) allowed a solo home run in an inning of relief work to take the loss Friday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Wesneski allowed the first run of the game in the eighth inning, a solo shot by Pedro Pages, then got saddled with the loss as the Cubs got blanked 3-0. Despite the hiccup, the 26-year-old has been solid this season as he's settled into a relief role for Chicago, posting a 2.84 ERA and 34 strikeouts across 38 innings.

  • Looks sharp Friday
    Hendricks tossed 4.1 scoreless innings of relief in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Cardinals. He allowed two hits and struck out one.

    Advice: Chicago starter Jordan Hicks departed after just 1.2 innings due to an oblique injury, which pushed Hendricks into action. The veteran responded well and had perhaps his best outing of the season, giving the Cubs some much-needed length out of the bullpen. While Hendricks still has an ugly 8.20 ERA overall, he's been better lately with 8.2 scoreless innings over his last three appearances. However, Hendricks still has limited fantasy appeal in his current long-relief role. Rotowire.com Today, 2:38 pm
     
  • Won't undergo surgery
    Manager David Bell said Friday that Williamson will not undergo surgery on his left shoulder, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Surgery to remove a lesion from Williamson's left shoulder would have put an early ending to his season before it even started, but the lefty will instead decline the procedure in an effort to return to the Reds' rotation as soon as possible. The 26-year-old southpaw will receive injections in his shoulder and be shut down from throwing for the next three weeks. At that point, the Reds will re-evaluate him and determine his next steps.

  • Brandon Williamson decides against shoulder surgery
    Reds’ manager David Bell told reporters on Friday that Brandon Williamson has opted against having season-ending surgery on his left shoulder.

    Advice: Instead, the 26-year-old southpaw will get injections and will be shut down from throwing for the next three weeks before starting to build back up. It’s unclear if it will work out for him in the long run, but Williamson at least wants to try this route first before going under the knife. Rotoworld Today, 2:26 pm
