Freeland (elbow) allowed one run on three hits and a walk with four strikeouts during a start at Triple-A Albuquerque on Thursday, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

Freeland made his second rehab appearance Thursday, but it was his first at the Triple-A level. The lone run against Freeland came on a solo homer. The left-hander is expected to appear in one more rehab game before returning to the Rockies toward the end of June.

Gibson (5-2) earned the win Friday over the Cubs, allowing just two hits and a walk over seven scoreless innings. He struck out six.

Gibson was excellent Friday, turning in a season-high seven innings in his first scoreless outing of the year. The 36-year-old righty has been solid of late, working to a 2.19 ERA over his last five starts. Overall, his ERA is down to 3.44 on the campaign with a 1.20 WHIP and 73:31 K:BB across 83.2 innings. Gibson's currently scheduled to face the Marlins on the road in his next start.

Turner (hamstring) could be activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday or Monday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

While the Phillies have been vague about a timeline for Turner's return, Gelb notes that the shortstop ran again Friday, and while he'll maybe" return Sunday, it will "probably" happen Monday instead, as Philadelphia begins a six-game homestand. Turner has been shelved since early May with a left hamstring strain, and it's looking like he'll skip a rehab assignment.

Ferrer (shoulder) will throw live batting practice Monday, Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

Ferrer will face batters for the first time since suffering a shoulder strain back in March, but it's not yet clear when he might begin a rehab assignment. The 24-year-old should be expected to return in late June or early July.

Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Friday that it's a "possibility" Marsh (hamstring) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

Marsh will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Reading on Friday, and it sounds like that could be the only rehab game he needs. The outfielder has been sidelined since early June with a strained right hamstring.

Minter (hip) will throw multiple bullpen sessions before Atlanta decides whether to send him out on a rehab assignment or activate him, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

The initial feeling when Minter landed on the injured list with left hip inflammation late last month was that he would probably miss about the minimum amount of time. He's already been sidelined longer than that, although he hasn't suffered a setback. Minter boasts a 2.95 ERA and 23:6 K:BB over 21.1 frames this season.

Cavalli (elbow) will throw a live batting practice session Saturday, Spencer Nusbaum of The Washington Post reports.

The Nationals pulled Cavalli off his rehab assignment earlier this month, although they referred to it as merely giving the pitcher a break rather than it being a setback as he comes back from Tommy John surgery. Since he's facing hitters again, the righty figures to resume his rehab assignment soon. He could be an option for the Nationals' rotation after the All-Star break.

Moreno is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

Moreno will yield to the lefty-hitting Tucker Barnhart on Friday with RHP Chris Flexen starting for the White Sox. In June, Moreno is batting .278 with six extra-base hits, seven runs and five RBI.

McCarthy is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.

Despite the fact that right-hander Chris Flexen is starting for Chicago, McCarthy will give way to Randal Grichuk in right field. McCarthy had started five of the D-Backs' previous six games, so it's likely Friday's absence is nothing more than a rest day.

Campusano is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Mets.

He will yield to the hot-hitting Kyle Higashioka at catcher Friday. Campusano is slashing just .146/.203/.182 across his last 19 games.
