  • Wins with quality start
    Lodolo (5-2) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings Sunday, striking out three and earning a win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Lodolo kept the Cubs off the board through four innings before they tallied a run in the fifth and sixth innings. He's allowed three runs over 11.1 innings while winning his last two starts since returning from the injured list. However, he's totaled just six punchouts during that span. On the year, Lodolo owns a 3.11 ERA with a 49:10 K:BB through 46.1 frames. His next start is projected to be a rematch with the Cubs at home. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • To face live hitters
    Mahle (elbow) is expected to face live hitters Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Mahle recently completed a bullpen session, and facing live hitters appears to be just another step in the process. It's been a little more than a year since the right-hander underwent Tommy John surgery, and Mahle is not expected to be ready for game action until some point after the All-Star break.

  • Jon Gray (groin) to face live hitters on Monday
    Jon Gray (groin) is scheduled to face live hitters on Monday.

    Advice: The Rangers remain hopeful that Gray will only need a minimum stint on the injured list, so there’s a lot riding on Monday’s session. If all goes well there, he could be cleared to return to the rotation later in the week without needing a minor league rehab assignment. The 32-year-old hurler has been sidelined since May 22 due to a right groin strain. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago

  • Scheduled for live batters
    Gray (groin) is scheduled to face live hitters Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: A clearer indication of when Gray could return from the injured list should emerge following Monday's session. At the time of his placement on the IL, the right-hander was not expected to miss much more than the 15-day minimum. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago

    Scherzer (back/arm) threw a bullpen session Saturday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: After throwing about 25 pitches during Saturday's session, Scherzer gave a thumbs up when he arrived at the clubhouse Sunday. Depending on how he recovers and conversations with the training staff, Scherzer could face live batters Monday. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago

  • Zach Eflin (back) likely to return this week
    Zach Eflin (back) threw a 40-pitch bullpen session on Sunday without any issues and afterwards declared himself “ready to go”.

    Advice: The 30-year-old right-hander is expected to rejoin the Rays’ rotation this week, perhaps on Wednesday against the Marlins in Miami. Prior to landing on the injured list with inflammation in his lower back, Eflin had registered a 4.12 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 44/4 K/BB ratio over 59 innings of work. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
     
  • Checks boxes in bullpen session
    Eflin (back) threw a 40-pitch bullpen session Sunday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Sunday's session was Eflin's second bullpen in the last four days. He threw two simulated innings and came away feeling good. There hasn't been an official date set for his return, but Eflin said he's "checked the boxes" in his recovery and could return as early as June 5 against Miami.

  • Seven strong innings
    King came away with a no-decision Sunday against the Royals, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out four over seven innings.

    Advice: King was sharp, not allowing an extra-base hit and turning in another quality start, his fifth over his past six contests. The 29-year-old snapped a three-game streak allowing a home run, something he has struggled with all season -- his 1.8 HR/9 ranks in the ninth percentile. On the whole, King has been solid this season, recording a 3.82 ERA and 1.23 WHIP with a 78:31 K:BB across 73 innings. The right-hander will look to build off this success in his next start, tentatively scheduled for this weekend against Arizona. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:00 pm
     
  • Stumps Marlins
    Heaney (2-6) picked up the win Sunday against Miami, allowing four hits and no walks across six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

    Advice: Heaney generated his second consecutive win Sunday and turned in his first scoreless outing of 2024 as a starter. The lefty has settled in after stumbling to a 6.26 ERA over five starts in April, owning a 2.43 ERA and 31 strikeouts across 33.1 innings since May 1. Heaney is tentatively scheduled for a home start against the Giants next Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:41 pm
