The Orioles reinstated Bradish (foot) from the 15-day injured list ahead of his scheduled start Wednesday in Washington.

Baltimore optioned reliever Logan Gillaspie to Triple-A Norfolk to clear room on the 26-man active roster for Bradish, who is set to make his second start of the campaign after exiting his April 3 season debut in Texas with a right foot contusion. Bradish tossed 83 pitches and five innings in his lone rehab start for Double-A Bowie last Friday, so he shouldn't face any major workload restrictions as he steps back into the big-league rotation Wednesday.

Wainwright (groin) made his first rehab start for Double-A Springfield on Wednesday, allowing two earned runs on four hits and no walks while striking out three over three innings.

Wainwright threw 40 of those 59 pitches for strikes, but he averaged just 86 miles per hour with his fastball and topped out at 87 miles per hour, per John Denton of MLB.com. Before returning from the 15-day injured list, the veteran right-hander is scheduled for one more minor-league rehab start, which will likely come next Tuesday with Springfield. He should then be cleared to make his season debut for the Cardinals, around five weeks after suffering a groin strain while working out with Team USA during the World Baseball Classic.

Rogers was diagnosed with left forearm tightness after exiting his start Wednesday versus the Giants, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

Rogers tossed 58 pitches over three innings and struck out three while allowing one run on three hits and one walk prior to departing. While the Marlins are likely to put Rogers through additional testing before the extent of his injury is determined, anything elbow- or forearm-related for a pitcher is obviously concerning. The southpaw will most likely be ticketed for the 15-day injured list, even if follow-up tests don't reveal a forearm strain or any structural damage.

Burnes (pectoral) is still scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Red Sox, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Burnes left his start against the Mariners on Monday with a left pectoral strain, but the right-hander is scheduled to play catch Wednesday and still listed as the probable starter against Boston. There's still a chance that the 28-year-old misses the outing, but it appears as though Burnes has avoided a significant injury at this stage.

The Athletics selected Miller's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Wednesday.

He'll make his major-league debut Wednesday against the Cubs and will have a "soft cap" of around 80 pitches, manager Mark Kotsay told Jessica Kleinschmidt of TheComeback.com. Miller boasts a 19:0 K:BB over 8.2 innings between Las Vegas and Double-A Midland over his first two minor-league starts this season.

Rogers was lifted in the fourth inning of his start Wednesday against the Giants with an apparent injury, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. He gave up one earned run on three hits and struck out three over three frames while exiting with a runner on second and no outs.

Rogers could have more damage on his final line if reliever Jose Soriano lets in the inherited runner, but the more prevailing concern for Rogers' fantasy managers is his health. Though the exact nature of Rogers' injury likely won't be known until later Wednesday, he exited without throwing any warmup tosses upon being visited on the mound by a trainer, with his day ending after just 58 pitches.

Carrasco received an injection Wednesday for his ailing right elbow and will be shut down for 3-to-5 days, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

Carrasco had already been placed on the injured list Tuesday and more will be known about a potential timetable when he's re-evaluated after the shutdown period. Joey Lucchesi is a candidate to take Carrasco's spot in the Mets' rotation.

Stone has a 7.20 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 12:8 K:BB in 15 innings through four starts for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Given that Stone was as dominant as any pitching prospect in big-league spring training and logged a 1.16 ERA in six starts at Triple-A to close last season, this is a surprisingly poor start to the season. Oddly enough, his worst starts have been the three at home, which is still a hitter-friendly environment, but not as extreme as places like El Paso, Las Vegas or Albuquerque. Stone's best start was April 5 in Las Vegas, where he had five strikeouts in five innings of one-run ball. The changeup, which is Stone's go-to weapon, is a feel pitch, so perhaps he just hasn't had the feel for it early on, but suffice to say he isn't banging down the big-league door just yet.

Giants manager Gabe Kapler said Stripling has "a good chance" to move into the rotation after San Francisco placed Alex Wood (hamstring) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Stripling started the Giants' third game of the season back on April 2, but his subsequent three appearances have come out of the bullpen while Sean Manaea has unseated him for the final spot in the five-man rotation. However, with Wood going down with an injury that will sideline him for at least the next two weeks, Stripling appears primed to recapture a starting role. Even while working in relief of late, Stripling still hasn't tossed any fewer than 36 pitches in any of his four appearances this season, so he should be relatively stretched out for starting duty. Assuming Kapler sticks with the plan to add Stripling back to the rotation, the right-hander would tentatively line up to take the hill Sunday versus the Mets at Oracle Park.

Wainwright (groin) will make two rehab starts before rejoining the Cardinals' rotation, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

The first one will come Wednesday at Double-A Springfield, when he's set to throw 55-60 pitches. He'll then throw around 75 pitches five days after that before being re-evaluated. Assuming he looks and feels fine, that would set Wainwright up for a season debut as soon as April 29 in Los Angeles against the Dodgers.
