  • Could return for homestand
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Treinen (chest) could be activated from the 15-day injured list during the weekend series against Atlanta, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Advice: Treinen appeared in back-to-back games with Triple-A Oklahoma on Wednesday and Thursday, allowing one hit over two frames while striking out three over that span. Treinen's return to the Dodgers' bullpen would be welcome one with Joe Kelly dealing with a right groin injury. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Sits down against lefty
    Butler isn't in Oakland's lineup for Friday's game against Miami.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Butler will retreat to the bench Friday as Ryan Weathers prepares to start on the bump for the Marlins. Tyler Nevin will replace Butler in right field and bat second. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Idle against southpaw
    Bleday isn't in Oakland's lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: With lefty Ryan Weathers set to toe the slab for Miami, Bleday will step out of the lineup. Esteury Ruiz will take over in center field and bat in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago

  • Throws BP session
    Kershaw (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Kershaw's bullpen session was the first time the veteran southpaw has thrown since undergoing offseason shoulder surgery. He's not expected to return until after the All-Star break, but it's another positive step in his rehab program. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) throws first bullpen
    Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) threw his first bullpen session on Friday since undergoing surgery on his left shoulder.

    Advice: The 36-year-old southpaw looks to be right on schedule in his recovery. The Dodgers have yet to give any sort of concrete timeline on when they anticipate him being ready to join the rotation, though the early estimates were at some point around the All-Star break. As long as he continues to progress, there’s no reason to doubt that timeline. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago
     
  • Resting against lefty
    Brown isn't in the Athletics' lineup Friday against the Marlins.

    Advice: Left-hander Ryan Weathers will take the mound Friday for Miami, meaning the left-handed bat of Brown will stay put in Oakland's dugout. Max Schuemann will fill the opening in left field and bat seventh. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago

  • Blake Treinen (lung) nearing activation from IL
    Dodgers’ manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Blake Treinen (lung) could be activated from the injured list during the team’s current homestand.

    Advice: Treinen worked in back-to-back minor league games without issue on Wednesday and Thursday — which was the last hurdle that he needed to clear before activation. Expect the 35-year-old right-hander to rejoin the Dodgers’ bullpen any day now. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
     
  • Begins baseball activities
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Heyward (back) ran at full speed and has begun swinging a bat, J.P. Hoornstra of DodgersNation.com reports.

    Advice: Heyward landed on the 10-day IL on April 3 due to lower back tightness. The injury persisted well past his return window, and Friday marked the firs time that the veteran outfielder has participated in any sort of activity. The Dodgers will have a better idea on how to move forward once they see how Heyward's back responds to his most recent work. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago

  • Jason Heyward (back) making progress in recovery
    Jason Heyward (back) has begun swinging a bat and has been running at full speed as he recovers from his lower back injury.

    Advice: Dodgers’ skipper Dave Roberts told reporters on Friday that Heyward will take batting practice on the field at some point over the next few days before progressing to simulated games. It doesn’t sound like a return to the Dodgers is imminent, but he’s trending in the right direction. It seems very likely that he’ll require at least a few games on a minor league rehab assignment before he’s ready to return. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
