Blake Snell SP | LAD
Dodgers' Blake Snell: Bullpen session on tap
Snell (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.
Snell made about 10 throws off a mound over the weekend to a standing catcher, per Plunkett, and he's now ready to take the next step in his throwing progression by completing what the Dodgers are terming as a "touch-and-feel" bullpen session. The lefty hasn't tossed from a mound since experiencing a setback in late April, so he'll likely need to make it through at least a few side sessions before facing live hitters.

Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD
Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Trending in right direction
Glasnow (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session Tuesday in Los Angeles, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.
Glasnow has been moving in the right direction since it was reported at the end of May that he was experiencing general body soreness after throwing. "He's doing really well," stated manager Dave Roberts. "Very excited and anxious to start facing some hitters. So that's coming too." If all goes well during Glasnow's side session, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him gain clearance for live BP later in the week.

Woo-Suk Go RP | MIN
Marlins' Woo-suk Go: Returns to health
Go (finger) allowed one hit and struck out one across a scoreless inning for Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday.
Go began the 2025 season on the 7-day injured list due to a fractured right index finger, and he's since been cleared to return to Triple-A after wrapping up a rehab assignment. He's fired a pair of scoreless frames since being activated from the IL, striking out two batters in the process.

Emmet Sheehan SP | LAD
Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Continuing to ramp up
Sheehan (elbow) is expected to work at least four innings during his next rehab start, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Sheehan has looked solid during his time in the minors, working three frames in each of his last two appearances at Triple-A Oklahoma City. The right-hander may only need to make one more start at Triple-A before the club considers activating him from the 60-day IL, as skipper Dave Roberts stated Monday that there could be a conversation about adding Sheehan to the big-league rotation following his next rehab appearance.

A.J. Puk RP | ARI
Diamondbacks' A.J. Puk: Throwing out to 120 feet
Puk (elbow) has been cleared to throw out to 120 feet, Arizona Sports reports.
Puk, who was placed on the 15-day injured list April 19 due to left elbow inflammation and was shifted to the 60-day IL on May 1, continues to make steady progress in his throwing program. The team still hasn't provided a firm timetable for the southpaw's return, though he's eligible to be activated July 1.

Kyle Karros 3B | COL
Rockies' Kyle Karros: Returns to Double-A lineup
Karros (undisclosed) has gone 3-for-15 with two RBI, four runs and one stolen base in six games since being activated from Double-A Hartford's 7-day injured list last Tuesday.
Karros is off to a slow start at the dish since returning from an unspecified injury, but he was firing on all cylinders prior to landing on the IL. The 22-year-old is hitting .312 with two home runs and five stolen bases in 28 games for Hartford on the season.

Michael King SP | SD
Padres' Michael King: Not making much progress
King (shoulder) is still resting and hasn't yet been able to ramp up his throwing, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
The team is prescribing rest as the main method of rehab for King, who was placed on the 15-day injured list May 25 due to a pinched nerve in his throwing shoulder. While he reportedly started to play light catch one week ago, manager Mike Shildt noted that the club is still looking into the best way forward for the right-hander. "We're just in a holding pattern to see what it is and the best way to treat it, if there is a better way to treat it outside of just the rest," said Shildt. It would seem that King is still weeks away from a return, though an official timetable has yet to be established.

Tyler Stuart SP | WAS
Nationals' Tyler Stuart: Back from minor-league IL
Stuart (elbow) allowed four runs on four hits and four walks while striking out five over 3.2 innings Thursday against Double-A Reading.
Stuart began the season on the 7-day injured list due to an elbow injury, and he's back at Double-A after completing his rehab assignment. He looked a bit rusty in his first appearance for the Senators this season but should get an opportunity to bounce back later in the week.

Cristian Mena SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Cristian Mena: Out multiple weeks
Mena has been diagnosed with a teres major strain in his right shoulder and is expected to be out for multiple weeks, Jack Sommers of SI.com reports.
Mena felt discomfort in his right shoulder while warming up in the bullpen before his outing against the Reds on Friday, when he yielded one run on two hits and one walk while striking out one batter in one inning. Mena was placed on the 15-day injured list Saturday, and a clearer timeline for his return will be known once he's been given the green light to start a throwing program.

Connor Gillispie SP | PHI
Marlins' Connor Gillispie: Returning to Triple-A
The Marlins optioned Gillispie to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday.
Gillispie was recalled by the Marlins on Saturday but did not make an appearance for the big club. He'll return to Triple-A, where he has a 2-0 record across six games (five starts) with a 4.38 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 17:12 K:BB in 24.2 innings. The move makes room on the 26-man roster for Eury Perez (elbow), who was reinstated from the 60-day injured list.
