Bradish built up to 83 pitches in Friday's rehab start for Double-A Bowie and said his foot is 100 percent healed, Steve Melewski of MASNSports.com reports.

He gave up three earned runs on three hits and one walk with five strikeouts in five innings Thursday, and his comments after the outing suggest he's ready to return to the majors. Assuming he does get activated next week, he could start Wednesday in Washington on normal rest or in a weekend series at home against the Tigers on extra rest following Thursday's off day.

Ray (elbow) will be re-evaluated Monday, after which a throwing program could be mapped out, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Manager Scott Servais said Ray looks good and feels good, so it sounds like doctors will evaluate him before clearing him to begin a throwing program. Ray could require multiple rehab starts to get built back up, so a return in early May seems like a best-case scenario.

Springs (arm) is expected to miss a minimum of two months, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Springs underwent an MRI on his left arm Friday after experiencing some nerve discomfort during his start Thursday afternoon against the Red Sox. Topkin notes that the Rays are seeking out multiple opinions, but the early indications are not good. The elbow issue could even be an injury that requires surgery and leads to a long-term absence. Springs landed a four-year, $31 million contract extension in January and had posted excellent numbers out of the gate this season.

The Mariners selected Milone's contract from Triple-A Tacoma on Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

He'll make a spot start Friday at home against the Rockies, filling in for Marco Gonzales (paternity). Milone tossed five scoreless frames in his lone start for Tacoma this season and holds a career 4.60 ERA over parts of 12 major-league seasons. Chances are, he'll be designated for assignment after Friday's outing.

Seattle placed Gonzalez on the paternity list Friday, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Gonzales had been slated to start Friday against the Rockies, but those duties will now fall to Tommy Milone. While a specific return date to the Mariners' rotation for Gonzales isn't clear, he should be ready sometime next week.

Paxton (hamstring) will make at least one additional rehab start after Friday's outing before being considered for activation, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Paxton was a little wild but generally effective over three innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Worcester and will look to get a little more stretched out Friday. If he has just one more rehab outing after that, it could potentially set him up to join Boston's rotation as soon as April 24. Nothing has been decided regarding Paxton's return date or role, however.

Sale's next start will come Tuesday against the Twins, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

With Brayan Bello (forearm) ready to return from the injured list Monday, the Red Sox have elected to give Sale an extra day of rest. The veteran left-hander could probably use an extra day to work on things, as he'll carry an 11.25 ERA into next week's matchup versus Minnesota.

Bello (forearm) is lined up to start for the Red Sox on Monday against the Angels, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

Bello got a late start to the season while working his way back from a forearm issue, but he was lights-out in his lone rehab outing to clear the way for his return to Boston's rotation. He's a viable addition in deeper fantasy leagues. With Bello taking the ball Monday, Chris Sale will get an extra day of rest and pitch Tuesday.

Lorenzen (groin) will be reinstated from the 15-day injured list and start Saturday against the Giants, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

Lorenzen has missed the first few weeks of the season with a left groin strain. He made a rehab start last Saturday with Triple-A Toledo but got hit around quite a bit, surrendering four earned runs over 2.1 frames. It's best to limit expectations as the 31-year-old righty works his way back into the rhythm of the season.

Manning will not require surgery to repair his right foot fracture, Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Manning sustained a fracture to the fifth metatarsal on his right foot when he was struck by a comebacker during his last start Tuesday. He'll be able to rest and rehab rather than go under the knife and should be able to throw while wearing a walking boot, which should shorten his stay on the injured list.
