MLB Player News

Feltner (back) completed a full bullpen session Monday, MLB.com reports.

Feltner has been conducting his throwing program at the Rockies' spring training facility in Arizona since being pulled off his rehab assignment with Triple-A Albuquerque in late May. The right-hander will likely throw at least a couple more side sessions before advancing to facing hitters and eventually heading back out on a rehab assignment. Given that he's been on the shelf since May 2 due to the back issue, Feltner may need more than one rehab start before he's cleared to rejoin the Colorado rotation, possibly in late June or early July.

Gomber (shoulder) struck out three and allowed one earned run on two hits and no walks over four innings in his rehab start for Double-A Hartford on Wednesday.

Gomber's appearance was his first at any level since March 28, when he made a rehab start in Triple-A Albuquerque's season opener before experiencing a setback in his recovery from left shoulder soreness. The left-hander checked out fine coming out of Wednesday's start, and after completing a bullpen session at Coors Field on Saturday, he's set to report to Albuquerque for his next rehab outing Tuesday. Gomber is expected to cover 65 pitches Tuesday, and if all goes well, he could be a candidate to return from the 60-day injured list and make his season debut with the Rockies.

Mayfield (shoulder) struck out four over two perfect innings in a start of Single-A Lake Elsinore last Wednesday.

Mayfield made his first appearance since May 13 after he had been shut down with left shoulder discomfort, though Lake Elsinore never placed him on its injured list. One of the top lower-level prospects in the San Diego system, Mayfield has accrued a 4.84 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 31:9 K:BB across 22.1 innings over seven starts at Single-A this season.

Nola (ankle) will be shut down for at least two weeks after an MRI showed a stress reaction in his right rib cage, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Nola appears to be past the right ankle sprain that initially sent him to the 15-day injured list, but the new injury he's dealing with could sideline him through the All-Star break. Mick Abel should get an extended run in the Phillies' rotation while Nola is out. The club also has top prospect Andrew Painter lurking at Triple-A Lehigh Valley, but Painter is not expected to be a factor with the big club until the second half.

Cubs manager Craig Counsell said Tuesday in an interview on 670 The Score that Imanaga (hamstring) will need "a couple more" rehab starts before returning from the 15-day injured list.

Imanaga kicked off his rehab assignment in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Monday, tossing two scoreless innings. He will make at least two more rehab starts as he continues to get stretched out before returning to the majors later this month if all goes well. Imanaga has been sidelined since early May with a strained left hamstring.

Brewers manager Pat Murphy said May 30 that Cortes (elbow) is doing well while playing catch off flat ground and could soon begin throwing bullpen sessions, MLB.com reports.

After being diagnosed with a left elbow flexor strain and placed on the injured list April 6, Cortes was shut down for about a month before he was cleared to start playing catch. The Brewers have seemingly been pushing him through his throwing program slowly, as he still has yet to step back on a mound nearly a month after he started flat-ground tossing. The veteran southpaw will need to throw multiple bullpen sessions and live batting practice sessions before he's cleared to head out on a rehab assignment, so he shouldn't be expected to return from the injured list until around the All-Star break.

The Brewers are expected to call up Misiorowski from Triple-A Nashville to make his major-league debut in a start Thursday against the Cardinals, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.

Misiorowski has some of the best raw stuff in the minors with a fastball that regularly clocks in the triple digits. Control has been a big issue at times, and he has issued nine walks over his last two starts at Nashville. The control has mostly been better this season, however, with the righty walking two or fewer in seven of his last 10 outings. Overall, Misiorowski has collected a 2.13 ERA and 80:31 K:BB over 63.1 innings with Nashville. The Brewers are unlikely to call him up to make just one start, so Misiorowski should get an opportunity to stick around with the big club for a bit.

Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol indicated Monday that McGreevy could make another spot start later this month, Daniel Guerrero of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

The Cardinals elected to send McGreevy back to Triple-A Memphis following a spot start against the Dodgers on Sunday. By rule, he must remain at Memphis for 15 days before being recalled, which means McGreevy could be back for a start as soon as June 24 at home against the Cubs. The Cardinals would be able to bring McGreevy back before then if another player is placed on a reserve list in a corresponding move.

Imanaga (hamstring) struck out four across two scoreless innings in his first rehab start in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Monday. He gave up one hit and no walks.

The left-hander will likely move up to a higher affiliate for his next rehab start. Imanaga has been shelved since early May with a strained left hamstring.

Pallante allowed two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three batters over six innings in a no-decision against Toronto on Monday.

This was a nice bounce-back performance for Pallante after he allowed seven runs over 4.1 frames in his previous start versus Kansas City. The right-hander recorded his fifth quality start of the campaign and completed six innings for the first time over his past four appearances. Pallante has been inconsistent this season and holds a 4.75 ERA along with a 1.38 WHIP over 13 starts covering 72 innings. He's projected for a road matchup against Milwaukee this weekend.
