DeGrom (wrist) told reporters before Tuesday's game against the Royals that he fully expects to make his next scheduled start against the Athletics after being reevaluated, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

DeGrom said that he feels better than he did Monday, and he was "encouraged" by the results. The right-hander fired four no-hit innings while throwing 39 of 58 pitches for strikes before leaving with soreness in his right wrist. The Rangers will certainly take precautions if there are any hiccups between now and the weekend, but for now it seems likely deGrom will be back on the bump against the Athletics on Saturday.

Springs (elbow) is expected to undergo Tommy John surgery and will miss the remainder of the 2024 season, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Springs was placed on the injured list with a left elbow flexor strain, and as it often does, the injury has escalated into the need for the reconstructive surgery. Springs was pitching exceptionally well prior to the injury with an 0.56 ERA and 24:4 K:BB over 16 innings and three starts. The left-hander will hope to be ready for the start of the 2024 campaign, and Taj Bradley should be given the opportunity to cement his role in the rotation in Spring's absence.

Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that Overton (elbow) could resume throwing in 7-to-10 days, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Overton was placed on the injured list Saturday after being diagnosed with a right elbow strain, but it seems to be relatively minor and he could be an option again for the Reds in May. Levi Stoudt will start in Overton's place Wednesday versus the Rays, with Luke Weaver (forearm) then returning Thursday against the Pirates.

Maeda (arm) is set to start for the Twins on Thursday against Boston, Do-Hyoung Park of MLB.com reports.

Maeda exited his first start of the season due to arm fatigue and had his most recent turn in the rotation skipped Saturday. Now, coming off plenty of rest, the veteran righty will rejoin the rotation and look to bounce back from his most recent appearance in which he allowed four runs over six innings.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Rodon's back is "still barking," and the southpaw is slated to undergo tests, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

The Yankees don't think anything is seriously wrong with Rodon's back, but they've decided to send him for tests just to be safe. The left-hander was still able to throw a bullpen session as scheduled Monday. Rodon initially went on the injured list prior to Opening Day with a forearm strain, but that is viewed as a non-issue now.

Sanchez (triceps) covered 4.2 innings in his second rehab appearance for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Sunday, striking out five while allowing one earned run on three hits and two walks.

Though he opened the season on the 15-day injured list with a left triceps strain, Sanchez may have faced an uphill battle to win a spot on the Phillies' pitching staff even if he had closed camp at full health. However, after having looked sharp in both of his two rehab outings and building up to 75 pitches in Sunday's start, Sanchez could now find himself in the mix for a rotation spot with the big club with Ranger Suarez (forearm) still on the shelf and Matt Strahm day-to-day with a thumb injury. At the very least, the Phillies will have a need for a sixth starter this week due to Tuesday's doubleheader, so Sanchez could be a candidate to return from the IL to pitch Friday or Saturday versus the Rockies in Philadelphia.

Seabold was optioned Tuesday to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Seabold had surrendered six earned runs on 13 hits and three walks through 10.1 innings of relief this season with Colorado. Peter Lambert is getting the call from Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Bradley was recalled from Triple-A Durham by the Rays on Tuesday, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Bradley will rejoin the Rays' rotation Tuesday in Cincinnati, taking the spot vacated by Jeffrey Springs (elbow). The young right-hander impressed in his major-league debut versus the Red Sox last week, striking out eight while yielding three runs over five frames. With Springs expected to miss multiple months, Bradley will have an opportunity to establish himself as a long-term fixture in the major-league rotation.

Springs was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Rays on Tuesday with a left elbow flexor strain, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

It was already known that Springs was likely to miss at least a couple months of action, but he's now officially on the IL and we finally have a specific diagnosis. The Rays have not publicly laid out a rehab plan for the left-hander, but he'll likely be shut down for a while before slowly ramping up a throwing program. Taj Bradley is taking Springs' spot in Tampa Bay's rotation.

Severino (lat) will throw live batting practice Thursday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

It will be his first time facing hitters since he was diagnosed with a lat strain in late March. A rehab assignment for Severino should be just around the corner. The right-hander figures to need multiple rehab starts before rejoining the Yankees' rotation but could conceivably be back by early May.
