Fulmer (1-1) allowed two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out three over six innings to pick up his first win of the season in Monday's 10-4 win over Seattle.

Fulmer had his start moved up at the last minute when the White Sox placed scheduled starter Miguel Gonzalez (rotator cuff) on the disabled list. He wasn't throwing on short rest, but pitchers are creatures of habit and he did have to adapt. And he adapted well, tossing his first quality start. It helps when teammates bring support with early runs, but Fulmer did his part, retiring 15 of the first 16 batters faced. We're not ready to buy in on the young right-hander yet, but he will be given plenty of leash to work through the issues contributing to his 6.00 ERA over four starts and one relief outing. Fulmer's next start is expected to be in one of the games in Saturday's doubleheader against the Royals.

Busenitz was sent to Triple-A Rochester on Monday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Busenitz appeared in three games for Minnesota out of the bullpen since being called up April 15. He allowed one run on six hits and a walk while striking out six across 3.1 innings, resulting in a 2.70 ERA.

Jurado (finger) allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out four Tuesday against Double-A Springfield. He didn't factor into the decision.

Jurado was placed on the disabled list on April 9 with a broken nail, but he's since returned to health. He's made two starts for Double-A Frisco in 2018, accruing a 5.19 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 8.2 innings.

Mayza was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Monday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

With John Axford being placed on the bereavement list, Mayza was recalled to add depth to Toronto's bullpen. Mayza appeared in 19 games (17 innings) for the Blue Jays last season, over which he posted a 6.88 ERA and 1.65 WHIP.

Axford was placed on the bereavement list Monday, Hazel Mae of Sportsnet reports.

After being placed on the bereavement list, Axford will be eligible to return Wednesday. In a corresponding move, the Blue Jays recalled Tim Mayza from Triple-A Buffalo.

Paredes was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on Monday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

The 23-year-old has been stellar with the Bees this season, allowing just one run in 6.1 frames while producing a 5:1 K:BB. Paredes will head to the majors to provide bullpen depth after Blake Wood (elbow) was placed on the disabled list. He'll likely work in middle relief during his time in the majors.

Lee (oblique) threw 3.2 innings at extended spring training Monday, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.

The pitching prospect seems to be progressing well in his rehab program. The expectation is that Lee will throw five innings Saturday before embarking on a rehab assignment with a minor-league affiliate, so it seems like he's still at least a couple weeks away from a full return to action.

May (elbow) threw his final live batting practice session Monday, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

May underwent Tommy John surgery in March of 2017, and it seems like he's cleared another hurdle in the lengthy recovery process. He's expected to pitch in two or three extended spring training games next, which will start later this week. He still seems to be on track for a return in late May or early June.

Farquhar (head) had successful surgery to address a brain aneurysm and is progressing well Monday.

Farquhar collapsed in the dugout Friday with a brain hemorrhage caused by a ruptured aneurysm. He is in critical but stable condition in an ICU unit, able to use his extremities and respond to questions and commands. He is set to be closely monitored at the hospital for at least the next three weeks.

Farquhar (head) was transferred to the 60-day disabled list Monday.

Farquhar remains hospitalized after suffering a brain hemorrhage Friday. He underwent complicated surgery Saturday and will be closely monitored for at least the next three weeks. He was removed from the 40-man roster in order to make room for Chris Beck.
