The Athletics recalled Hoglund from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

Hoglund is set to make his major-league debut Friday with a start against the Marlins. The 25-year-old right-hander boasts a 2.43 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 30:7 K:BB over 29.2 frames this season in the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League. Hoglund should have an opportunity to stick in the big-league rotation for the long haul if he pitches well.

The Rangers signed Blach to a minor-league contract Friday.

Blach has been assigned to the Rangers' Arizona Complex League affiliate for now but should eventually moved up to Triple-A Round Rock. The left-hander made 12 starts and eight relief appearances for the Rockies last season, posting a 6.94 ERA and 36:18 K:BB over 71.1 frames.

The Marlins recalled Bellozo from Triple-A Jacksonville on Friday.

Bellozo is set to start Friday's game versus the Athletics and could earn additional starts until Ryan Weathers (forearm) is ready to return. The right-hander threw 2.1 innings with Triple-A Jacksonville on Tuesday, so he'll likely have his workload truncated as he pitches on short rest.

Dobbins will start for the Red Sox on Saturday against the Twins, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Brayan Bello is moving up a day to start Friday in place of Walker Buehler (shoulder), so the Red Sox needed someone to slide into Bello's old spot. Dobbins has pitched well in both of his starts for the Red Sox this season, yielding four runs (three earned) with an 11:2 K:BB over 11 innings. He could earn additional starts if Buehler winds up requiring a stint on the injured list.

Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said Friday on MLB Network that he's "hopeful" Gilbert (elbow) will rejoin the rotation before the end of May, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Gilbert is on the 15-day injured list with a Grade 1 flexor strain in his pitching arm. He's about a week into a two-week shutdown period, so more should be known about a potential timeline for the right-hander late next week. It's not clear whether the Mariners will ask Gilbert to make a rehab start before returning.

Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said Friday on MLB Network that he's "hopeful" Kirby (shoulder) will rejoin the rotation before the end of May, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

Kirby has been ramping up his throwing without issue and could begin a rehab assignment as soon as this weekend. The right-hander will make "at least two, maybe three" rehab starts, per Dipoto. Kirby has been working his way back from right shoulder inflammation, an injury that first cropped up in early March.

The Mets will call up Tidwell from Triple-A Syracuse during their weekend series in St. Louis, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Per Mike Puma of the New York Post, Tidwell will make his major-league debut in a start against the Cardinals on Sunday. Tidwell has posted a 5.00 ERA in his first six starts with Syracuse this season but has struck out 37 over 27 innings. The 23-year-old is likely to be in store for just one start before heading back to Syracuse.

Manoah (elbow) is throwing regular bullpen sessions at the Blue Jays' spring training complex in Dunedin, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

The right-hander is making his way back from an internal brace procedure performed in June 2024. Manoah's rehab is on schedule, but he's not expected to be an option for the Blue Jays' rotation until after the All-Star break. Over five starts and 24.1 innings last season before being shut down, Manoah posted a 3.70 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB.

Darvish (elbow) is likely still several weeks away from his 2025 Padres debut, but he could be activated from the IL in late May, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

Darvish most recently threw a bullpen session, which included a "heavier dose of breaking pitches," last Friday. He's been purposely tracked for a "slow, steady progression," though he may be ready to face live hitters in the near future. Cassavell notes that San Diego's schedule becomes tighter in late May and early June, which may be the impetus for Darvish's activation sometime during that span.

Faedo (shoulder) is scheduled to throw live batting practice May 6, MLB.com reports.

Faedo has been sidelined since March 21 due to the shoulder injury and is restarting his ramp-up process. He'll be out until at least late May, though he'll serve as a multi-inning reliever upon his return and may not need a full 30-day rehab assignment to be deemed MLB ready.
