  • Tosses live BP
    Waldichuk (elbow) threw 25 pitches against live hitters Monday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Waldichuk continues to advance in his rehab, and he's now scheduled to throw a sim game before potentially being sent out on a rehab assignment, per Gallegos. The southpaw figures to get a day or two off before his scheduled sim game. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

  • Throwing side session Wednesday
    Sewald (oblique) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Wednesday, Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com reports.

    Advice: Sewald's last bullpen session, which was scheduled for Sunday, was put on hold after he experienced soreness following an appearance for Triple-A Reno. However, it's positive news that he's been cleared to toss a side session later in the week. The team will likely determine Sewald's next steps after his upcoming bullpen. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

  • Zac Gallen (hamstring) throwing bullpen Monday
    Zac Gallen (hamstring) is throwing a bullpen before Monday’s game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Gallen left Friday’s start against the Mariners with a hamstring issue, but the exit was deemed precautionary, and manager Torey Lovullo expressed that he was optimistic that Gallen would make his next start. Assuming all goes well with the bullpen session, that seems to check out for Wednesday’s start against the Dodgers. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Josh Rojas taking seat against lefty Monday
    Josh Rojas is not in the starting lineup for Monday’s game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Rojas is currently on a platoon with Luis Urias, and it’ll be Urias manning the hot corner with left-hander Max Fried on the bump for Atlanta. Seattle will also have Sam Haggerty in left field against the southpaw after recalling the versatile infielder/outfielder from Triple-A Tacoma. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago

  • Brandon Lowe (oblique) undergoes MRI
    Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters that Brandon Lowe got “pretty good” results on the MRI on his oblique.

    Advice: “We’ll just kind of take it day to day, Cash told reporters. Ok. Lowe has been out of the lineup since early in April with the strain, and it doesn’t sound like there’s a concrete timetable for when the infielder will return. Curtis Mead will continue to see the majority of time at second base while Lowe is on the shelf. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago

  • May not need rehab assignment
    Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Monday that he expects Nelson (elbow) to be back "soon enough," and that the right-hander may not need a rehab assignment, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Advice: Nelson threw a five-inning, 70-pitch sim game Monday and did not experience any pain. The 26-year-old landed on the 15-day IL on April 19 due to right elbow contusion, but it appears Nelson has a good chance of returning when he's first eligible for activation May 4.

  • Ryne Nelson (elbow) throws five-inning sime game
    Ryne Nelson (elbow) threw a five-inning simulated game Monday.

    Advice: Nelson threw 70 pitches, and it apparently went well for the right-hander. The 26-year-old has been on the injured list with a bone bruise in his right elbow, and while a rehab start could be next, D-Backs manager Torey Lovullo believes that it may not be necessary. A return to Arizona’s rotation could be soon for Nelson. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago

  • Jackson Merrill not in lineup Monday vs. Reds
    Jackson Merrill is not in the starting lineup for Monday’s game against the Reds.

    Advice: Merrill returned to the lineup from his groin injury on Saturday and also played Sunday, so this appears to be a day of maintenance for the 21-year-old. Jose Azocar will play center and hit eighth Monday. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago
     
  • Getting additional opinions
    Nelson is receiving additional opinions on his injured left shoulder before the Diamondbacks decide the next steps to take, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: Nelson landed on the injured list nearly a week ago with what was deemed left shoulder inflammation at the time, but it sounds like he might be dealing with something more serious. More information on his status could be available later this week. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
