  • Amed Rosario 3B | NYY

    Rays' Amed Rosario: On bench against ChiSox

    Rosario is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.

    Rosario has been utilized in a near everyday role since Brandon Lowe (oblique) went down but will get the day off Tuesday. Richie Palacios will fill in at second base in place of Rosario.

  • Nick Burdi RP | NYM

    Yankees' Nick Burdi: Rehab moves to Triple-A

    Burdi's (hip) has been transferred to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to continue his rehab assignment.

    Burdi started his rehab stint at Double-A Somerset, but he'll get the opportunity to pitch at the Triple-A level before his eventual reinstatement from the injured list, which should come within the next week or so.

  • Alec Marsh RP | KC

    Royals' Alec Marsh: Excels in four-inning rehab start

    Marsh (elbow) struck out six and gave up one hit and one walk over four shutout innings Sunday in his rehab start with Triple-A Omaha.

    According to Anne Rogers of MLB.com, Royals manager Matt Quatraro said prior to Sunday's rehab outing that Marsh was being targeted for 60-to-65 pitches, but the right-hander fell slightly short of that benchmark with 53 pitches (38 strikes). In any case, Marsh mowed down the Triple-A Iowa lineup in efficient fashion and looks as though he could be ready to return from the 15-day injured list when first eligible Friday against the Angels. If the Royals instead decide to give Marsh one more rehab start to increase his pitch count, Daniel Lynch would likely be in store for a second turn through the rotation this weekend.

  • Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera: On bench again

    Cabrera is out of the Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Astros.

    Cabrera will be available off the bench for a second straight game after making 22 straight starts at third base. Jon Berti will man the hot corner and bat ninth against Houston.

  • Zack Gelof 3B | ATH

    Athletics' Zack Gelof: Takes light swings in cage

    Gelof (oblique) has progressed to taking light swings in the batting cage, but he remains without a firm timetable for return, MLB.com reports.

    It's been an eventful last few days on the recovery front for Gelof, who resumed some baseball activities by fielding grounders and playing catch Wednesday and then threw across the infield before the Athletics' game Friday. The progression to picking up a bat is another step in the right direction, but the team remains committed to not sending Gelof out on a rehab assignment prematurely due to the risk of aggravating the injury.

  • Nathan Eovaldi SP | TEX

    Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Playing catch

    Eovaldi (groin) was seen playing catch ahead of Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Manager Bruce Bochy provided a positive update Monday with news that the right-hander isn't dealing with a sports hernia, and Eovaldi is back to playing catch a day later. Barring any sort of setback, the 34-year-old could be good to go without needing a rehab assignment once he clears the 15-day IL on May 18. In the meantime, Jose Urena and Jack Leiter will be deployed as starters when necessary.

  • Josh Winder RP | ARI

    Twins' Josh Winder: Rehab moved to St. Paul

    Winder (shoulder) is continuing his rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reported Tuesday.

    Winder's rehab stint began with Low-A Fort Myers on April 30, and despite allowing four runs in 3.2 innings, he'll move up to St. Paul to continue his recovery. Even though he's set to return in late May or early June, Winder isn't guaranteed a big-league roster spot, so he'll likely need to make a strong case during his time at Triple-A to improve his chances.

  • Osvaldo Bido RP | CHW

    Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Confirmed for start Wednesday

    Bido will be called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader versus the Rangers, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Bido has earned a look after collecting a 2.59 ERA and 39:13 K:BB across 31.1 innings with Las Vegas this season. With Joe Boyle (back) landing on the 15-day injured list, it's possible Bido will be asked to make additional starts for Oakland beyond Wednesday.

  • Red Sox's Josh Winckowski: Works in relief Sunday

    Winckowski made his most recent appearance as a reliever in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Twins, tossing one inning and allowing one run on two hits.

    Winckowski worked as a starter in each of his prior three outings, but his usage out of the bullpen to close out the weekend signals that he'll lose out on a rotation spot with Nick Pivetta (elbow) due to return from the 15-day injured list Wednesday and with Brayan Bello (lat) perhaps being activated from the IL as soon as Sunday. Over his three starts, Winckowski delivered a 1.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP, but he never covered more than 4.1 innings in any outing and thus missed out on qualifying for a win on any occasion.

  • Chase Anderson RP | TEX

    Red Sox's Chase Anderson: Shifts back to bullpen

    Anderson made his most recent appearance as a reliever in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Twins, covering two scoreless innings while giving up one hit and one walk and striking out one.

    Anderson made a spot start April 25 in Cleveland, but his relief appearance over the weekend signals that he'll lose out on a rotation spot with Nick Pivetta (elbow) on track to return from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday in Atlanta.
