  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Cubs recalled Hodge from Triple-A Iowa on Friday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Hodge has posted a 4.80 ERA and walked 12 over 15 innings this season between Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa, but he's also struck out 26. This is the first stint in the majors for the 23-year-old, so he'll be making his big-league debut when/if he enters a game. Rotowire.com Today, 9:24 am
  • Progressing from blister
    Bido is making progress in his recovery from a blister that he suffered to his pitching hand during a May 8 spot start against the Rangers, and the Athletics are viewing him as a potential option for the big-league rotation, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: After turning in a 2.59 ERA and 1.25 WHIP over 31.1 innings at Triple-A Las Vegas, Bido was called up May 8 to make a spot start in the Athletics' doubleheader with the Rangers that day. He was pulled midway through the third inning of the second game of the twin bill after developing the blister and was returned to Las Vegas two days later. Bido hasn't pitched for Las Vegas since, but assuming the blister isn't providing any further complications for him, the right-hander could be an option to rejoin the big club as soon as Friday, when Oakland will have an opening in the rotation for its series opener in Kansas City. Bido served as the 27th man for the doubleheader last week, so he's eligible to be called back up at any time. Rotowire.com Today, 9:10 am
  • Spotted in clubhouse
    Hodge was spotted in the Cubs' clubhouse prior to Friday's game against the Pirates, Sahadev Sharma of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: No roster moves have been announced yet, but it would appear the Cubs could be adding Hodge to their bullpen. The 23-year-old holds a 4.80 ERA and 26:12 K:BB over 15 innings between Double-A Tennessee and Triple-A Iowa this season. It would be Hodge's first major-league promotion. Rotowire.com Today, 9:00 am
  • Shows improvement in third rehab start
    Baz (elbow) struck out three and allowed one earned run on five hits and two walks over 3.1 innings in the third start of his minor-league rehab assignment Thursday with Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: After issuing five walks in just 1.2 innings in his second rehab start with Durham, Baz demonstrated improved control. Though he still walked two of the 17 batters (11.8 percent) he faced, Baz spotted 49 of his 69 pitches for strikes. Baz will likely make at least one more rehab start for Durham before the Rays bring him back from the 15-day injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 8:59 am
  • Fans eight in loss
    Glasnow (6-2) took the loss against the Reds on Thursday, allowing four runs on six hits and one walk while striking out eight over five innings.

    Advice: Glasnow ran into trouble early, surrendering a leadoff homer to Will Benson to open the contest along with an RBI double to Tyler Stephenson four batters later. The Reds would get to Glasnow again in the third and fifth innings, marking only the second time this season he's allowed four or more runs in an outing. The right-hander had logged four consecutive quality starts coming into Thursday and still carries a 3.32 ERA in May to go along with a 28:4 K:BB. He's also struck out at least eight batters in five straight starts. Rotowire.com Today, 6:29 am
  • Poised for rehab assignment
    Hall (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Wisconsin on Sunday.

    Advice: Hall got through a two-inning simulated game Tuesday with no issues to clear the way for him to pitch in a rehab game. He's been sidelined for nearly a month with a left knee sprain, so Hall would figure to require at least a couple rehab outings before rejoining the Brewers' rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 6:28 am

  • Picks up first win
    Martinez (1-2) earned the win over the Dodgers on Thursday, pitching five shutout innings in relief while allowing one hit and striking out four.

    Advice: Martinez relieved Justin Wilson to open the bottom of the third and proceeded to retire 15 of the 16 batters he faced while generating 12 swings and misses. Martinez has been outstanding in a relief role and carries a 0.87 ERA to go along with a 9:2 K:BB through 10.1 innings in May over four appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 6:06 am
  • DL Hall (knee) set for rehab start
    DL Hall (knee) is set to make his first minor league rehab start over the weekend.

    Advice: Hall is scheduled to start for the High-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Sunday. Acquired in the trade with the Orioles for Corbin Burnes this past offseason, the 25-year-old left-hander has been on the injured list since late April with a left knee sprain. Rotoworld Today, 6:04 am

  • Lit up in second start
    Estes (1-1) was hit with the loss Thursday against the Astros, allowing eight runs on eight hits and four walks over 3.2 innings while striking out four.

    Advice: Estes struggled with his command out of the gate and was lucky to get through the first two innings unscathed despite allowing four batters to reach over that span. However, the traffic would finally catch up with the 22-year-old right-hander in the third after he issued a walk to Kyle Tucker to open the frame, which would eventually lead to six runs coming across for Houston in the inning. Estes would surrender another two runs in the fourth and actually allowed the leadoff man to reach in all four innings in which he appeared. It was a disappointing performance after he threw just 61 pitches over five frames in his first outing and did not walk a batter. Rotowire.com Today, 4:20 am
