  • Throwing from 90 feet
    Campbell (shoulder) has been playing catch from 90 feet out, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Campbell has been on the injured list since April 12 with a right shoulder impingement, and his throwing program has progressed slower than expected -- though manager Alex Cora said the right-hander is feeling better. He remains without a clear return timeline, but one may emerge once he progresses to mound work and faces live hitters. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Cody Bradford (rib) diagnosed with stress fracture
    Rangers’ manager Bruce Bochy told reporters on Friday that Cody Bradford has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his rib.

    Advice: That explains why the 26-year-old southpaw hasn’t progressed as quickly as the Rangers had hoped in his recovery from a sore lower back. He’s expected to miss at least a month’s worth of action. By the time he’s ready to return, it seems unlikely that there will be a spot for him in the Rangers’ rotation if everyone else is able to stay healthy. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago

  • Resumes swinging
    Carpenter (oblique) took swings on the field before Friday's game against the Mets, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Carpenter had been shut down from activity after receiving a PRP injection in his right oblique Monday. He will swing again before Saturday's game, at which point the Cardinals will decide whether or not to send the 38-year-old veteran out on a rehab assignment. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • Wade Miley set to undergo Tommy John surgery
    The Brewers announced on Friday that left-hander Wade Miley will undergo Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery.

    Advice: Miley landed on the injured list on Monday due to inflammation in his left elbow. We now know that the situation is much more dire. He’ll miss the remainder of the 2024 season — and likely the first few months of the 2025 campaign — while recovering. That is if he even decides to continue his playing career. It’s a brutal blow for the 37-year-old southpaw. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago

  • Managing rib stress fracture
    Bradford (back) was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his rib Friday and is expected to be sidelined for about a month, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: The left-hander wasn't progressing as expected in his recovery after landing on the shelf April 14 with lower-back soreness, and a rib stress fracture is the apparent culprit. Bradford will now be sidelined through at least late May, and a more specific timeline should come into focus as he ramps up his rehab work. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago

  • White Sox designate Bailey Horn for assignment
    White Sox designated LHP Bailey Horn for assignment.

    Advice: The White Sox needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for Tommy Pham on Friday and unfortunately Horn drew the short straw this time around. The 26-year-old southpaw has struggled to a cringe-inducing 11.32 ERA, 2.32 WHIP and a 15/10 K/BB ratio over 10 1/3 innings in nine appearances at Triple-A Charlotte. It seems likely that he’ll pass through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as bullpen depth for the White Sox. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
     
  • Back in starting lineup Friday
    Drury (hamstring) is starting as the designated hitter and batting fifth in Friday's game against the Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: After returning to action for all three games against the Reds last weekend, Drury missed the past three contests against the Orioles due to a lingering left hamstring injury. The three-game absence, along with the Angels' off day Thursday, seems to have done the trick for Drury, as he'll start at DH for the series opener Friday versus Minnesota. The 31-year-old is slashing .194/.270/.269 with two doubles, six runs, one home run and four RBI over 74 plate appearances to begin the season. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago

  • Jake Fraley (illness) held out of lineup again
    Jake Fraley (illness) was held out of the Reds’ starting lineup for the sixth consecutive game on Friday.

    Advice: That must be some serious illness that Fraley has been dealing with. It’s still somewhat encouraging that the Reds haven’t placed him on the injured list, so there must be hope that he’s only a day or two away from returning. Stuart Fairchild will start in his place in center field again on Friday and will bat ninth for the Reds against Nathan Eovaldi and the Rangers. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago

  • Starting Friday
    Sano (knee) is starting at third base and hitting in the cleanup spot for Friday's game against the Twins, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Sano left Wednesday's game against the Orioles due to left knee soreness. He's apparently feeling better after the Angels' day off Thursday and is ready to play against his former team Friday. The 30-year-old is slashing .271/.362/.373 with three doubles, eight runs, one home run and five RBI over 69 plate appearances while drawing eight walks to start the season.
