McGraw (elbow) struck out a batter and allowed one hit and one walk over one inning in his debut Friday for Double-A Arkansas after being assigned to the affiliate Thursday following his activation from High-A Everett's 7-day injured list.

After opening the season on the shelf while recovering from an elbow issue, McGraw looked sharp during his rehab assignment, yielding just one run on eight hits and two walks while striking out five batters across eight innings over six appearances between the rookie-level Arizona Complex League and Single-A Inland Empire. The right-hander worked as a starter at Everett last season, but he'll bypass a return to High-A and looks set to continue his development out of the bullpen at Double-A.

Scarborough (melanoma) was activated from the 7-day injured list May 29.

Scarborough managed to complete a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League in May and has since been deployed for a pair of starts since being activated from the IL by High-A Hub City. He's surrendered two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six over seven innings across those two appearances.

Faedo (shoulder) signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on May 21.

Faedo has found a new club after being designated for assignment and eventually electing free agency last November. He underwent thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in August of 2025, but he appears to have returned to full strength after making two appearances in the Arizona Complex League earlier this month, surrendering four runs (three earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out four over 2.2 innings. Faedo figures to receive additional opportunities in the ACL as he goes through an abbreviated spring training and could eventually settle in at Triple-A, where he'll serve as organizational pitching depth.

Waldron (forearm) is scheduled to throw two innings of a bullpen session Tuesday and is on track to start a rehab assignment with Triple-A El Paso this Sunday, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Waldron landed on the 15-day injured list in mid-May due to a right brachialis muscle injury, his second stint on the IL this season. He's progressed enough in his recovery to close in on a rehab assignment, and he could back with the big club after a couple of outings in the minors. When he returns to the majors, Waldron will likely operate out of the Padres' bullpen after Lucas Giolito was added to the rotation.

Fedde will pitch in a bulk-relief role Tuesday against Atlanta at Rate Field, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Fedde picked up his first win of the season in a traditional start last week versus the Twins, but he will follow opener Brandon Eisert on Tuesday. The right-handed Fedde has collected a 4.94 ERA and 36:24 K:BB over 58.1 frames for the White Sox this season.

Povich (elbow) will resume throwing bullpen sessions this week, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Inflammation in his left elbow landed Povich on the 15-day injured list exactly one month ago, and he's finally improved enough to throw off the mound again. The southpaw is likely to require at least one rehab start before rejoining the Orioles. If Povich beats Dean Kremer (quadriceps) and/or Chris Bassitt (back) back from the IL, he'll have a good chance to enter the Baltimore rotation.

Cease (hamstring) will return from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Phillies in Toronto, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Cease made his one and only rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo last Thursday, giving up five runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six over four innings. He's been shelved for just two weeks and threw 75 pitches in his rehab outing, so Cease should have close to a full workload at his disposal when taking on the Phillies. The veteran hurler is coming back from a strained left hamstring.

Schmidt (elbow) has been "feeling great" during recent mound sessions and could start throwing to hitters by the end of June, per MLB.com.

Schmidt continues to recover from the internal brace procedure he underwent last July. The right-handed hurler has been throwing from a mound since early April and most recently had a 20-pitch session. If all goes well moving forward, Schmidt could be ready to be activated from the 60-day IL sometime in August.

Musgrove (elbow) started playing catch in late May, per MLB.com.

After making one appearance during spring training in early March, Musgrove experienced inflammation in his surgically repaired right elbow. He continued to play catch but was then shut down from even that amount of throwing. Musgrove has since been cleared to resume light throwing, but he doesn't appear to be anywhere near game action. He isn't expected to be ready to join the Padres until after the All-Star break.

The Orioles recalled Gibson from Triple-A Norfolk and will have him start Monday's game against the Mariners at Camden Yards.

The 24-year-old righty will be entering the Baltimore rotation as a replacement for right-hander Chris Bassitt (back), who was moved to the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Gibson is up with the Orioles for his fourth stint of the season, after previously turning in a 3.65 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 5:7 K:BB in 12.1 innings over his first three big-league appearances (two starts).
