    • Report: Nathan Eovaldi unlikely to return Sunday
      Jeff Wilson of Rangers Today reports Nathan Eovaldi (groin) is unlikely to return this weekend.

      Advice: Eovaldi is progressing towards a return from the injured list, but it doesn’t sound like he’ll return this weekend, as the Rangers are most likely going to roll with a bullpen game for Sunday’s series finale against the Twins. There should be some additional clarity on his return timetable at some point this weekend. Rotoworld Saturday, 6:55 am

    • MRI shows healing
      Kelly (shoulder) underwent an MRI earlier this week, and it showed significant healing, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The results are encouraging, but the team will have multiple doctors review the images to be sure. Kelly was placed on the 15-day injured list April 23, two days after being scratched from a start, and then he was transferred to the 60-day IL on May 2. Rotowire.com Saturday, 4:27 am
       
    • Corbin Burnes solid for six in downing White Sox
      Corbin Burnes allowed three runs over six innings Friday in a no-decision against the White Sox.

      Advice: He struck out six and walked two. This season has not seen Burnes at his absolute best, but neither has he faltered at any point; he still hasn’t allowed more than three runs or pitched fewer than five innings in any of his 11 starts. His next turn will come against the Red Sox. It’s the only team he’s completed seven innings against this year, doing so in a 7-1 victory on Apr. 9. Rotoworld Friday, 11:16 pm
       
    • Yields three runs in no-decision
      Burnes allowed three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out six during the Orioles' win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Burnes fired four shutout frames before the White Sox finally broke through with a three-run fifth inning. He forced 14 whiffs and has produced double-digit swinging strikes in eight of his 11 starts this season. The 29-year-old righty has allowed three or fewer earned runs in each of those 11 outings, resulting in an impressive 2.60 ERA through 65.2 innings. Burnes will take a 66:17 K:BB into his next outing, which is lined up to come at home against Boston. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:33 pm
       
    • Falls to Washington
      Kirby (4-5) took the loss Friday against the Nationals, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out three.

      Advice: Kirby was hurt by the home-run ball Friday, with all five runs coming on a pair of long balls. The 26-year-old Kirby's hit a rough patch recently, allowing four or more runs in three of his last four outings. His ERA is up to 4.33 despite a solid 1.03 WHIP and 57:6 K:BB over 11 starts (62.1 innings). Kirby will look to get back on track in his next outing, currently lined up for next week at home against the Astros. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:58 pm
       
    • George Kirby struggles, hit hard in Washington
      George Kirby allowed five earned runs across six innings on Friday against the Nationals. He struck out three and walked one.

      Advice: Another uneven start for Kirby in what’s been an inconsistent first quarter of the season. All five of his earned runs came via the long ball and he was especially frustrated after Keibert Ruiz took him deep on a 3-2 sinker with two outs in the sixth inning. The Mariners had 10 hard-hit balls in total. Kirby’s still a great pitcher, but there may be a question as to whether his total aversion to walks, 3.0 BB% for his career, could hold him back some from finding the right approach to make him elite.

    • Merrill Kelly’s MRI shows ‘significant healing’
      Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo told reporters on Friday that Merrill Kelly’s (shoulder) follow-up MRI exam showed “significant healing.”

      Advice: The Diamondbacks are still going to get another opinion before determining a course of action, but this is obviously very encouraging news. Kelly has been sidelined since mid-April due to a strained right shoulder. Rotoworld Friday, 3:42 pm
       
    • Out with triceps strain
      The Orioles placed Kremer on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to May 21, with a right triceps strain.

      Advice: The right-hander was scheduled to start Saturday against the White Sox but will now be unavailable for at least the next couple weeks. It's yet another blow to Baltimore's rotation, which also lost John Means to a forearm strain earlier this week. Kremer will be eligible to return in early June, though it's unclear when he's expected to be healthy. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:33 pm

    • Orioles place Dean Kremer (triceps) on 15-day IL
      Orioles placed RHP Dean Kremer on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 21, with a right triceps strain.

      Advice: Kremer sustained the injury during Monday’s loss to the Cardinals. No word yet on exactly how long he’ll be sidelined for. Dillon Tate was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk in a corresponding move to add some depth to the Orioles’ bullpen while they decide how to handle Kramer’s spot in the rotation.
