Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Faces live hitters Sunday
Treinen (chest) faced a pair of live hitters ahead of Sunday's series finale with the Padres, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Treinen was able to face Austin Barnes and Taylor Trammell on Sunday, pitching to his first pair of live hitters since heading to the 15-day injured list March 19. The 35-year-old is expected to have a similar session Thursday before potentially launching a rehab assignment, according to manager Dave Roberts.

Dodgers' Bobby Miller: Could return to throwing soon
Miller (shoulder) is hopeful to begin throwing again as soon as next week, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Miller was placed on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation Saturday, but the right-hander described the injury as "nothing too serious." Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that the team is optimistic Miller can return to throwing in the next 5-7 days. If the 25-year-old is able to get back on the mound as soon as hoped, his build-up would likely have to be minimal before he returns to the major-league roster.

Dodgers' Emmet Sheehan: Shut down from throwing
Sheehan (forearm) has been shut down from throwing by the Dodgers, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Sheehan has been trying to work his way back from a forearm injury that he suffered in mid-March, but manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that the right-hander has been shut down for the time being. Sheehan's arm hasn't been "responding the way they've wanted it to," and it now appears unlikely that he'll have a shot at returning when eligible May 18.

Brujan suffered a right knee injury in Sunday's 9-7 loss to Atlanta, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Darius Vines SP | CIN
Braves' Darius Vines: Set to start Monday
Vines will start Monday's game against the Astros, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The 25-year-old was called up by Atlanta on Friday but wasn't needed out of the bullpen in Miami this weekend, so he's now in line to fill the rotation spot that was opened when Spencer Strider (elbow) was placed on the 15-day injured list. Vines posted a 3.98 ERA over 20.1 frames in his first taste of the majors last season, and he got off to a solid start at Triple-A Gwinnett in 2024 with a 3.75 ERA and 11:3 K:BB in two outings.

Cardinals' Matthew Liberatore: Not available Sunday
Liberatore will be unavailable with an illness for the third straight day Sunday against the Diamondbacks, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Liberatore was sent home Thursday with an illness that had him nauseous and will not be available to pitch against the Diamondbacks. The reliever, who currently has a 3.52 ERA, will reconvene with the team Monday as they travel to Oakland to face the Athletics, though his availability to pitch in that series is still unknown.

Tyler Wade SS | TEX
Padres' Tyler Wade: Out of starting lineup
Wade will not start Sunday against the Dodgers.
Wade has taken the bulk of starts at the third base this season, but he won't start Sunday as Eguy Rosario takes the field. The 30-year-old Wade went 4-for-8 to begin the year but has gone 4-for-27 across his past 12 games.

Blake Treinen RP | LAD
Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Still not throwing to hitters
Treinen (chest) has yet to face hitters and remains weeks away from a return, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.
Treinen was hit in the chest by a comebacker during a spring appearance March 9 and has progressed slowly toward a return. The right-handed reliever resumed throwing March 30, but since he hasn't yet pitched to hitters, it's not clear when he may be able to embark upon a minor-league rehab assignment. Once he does get clearance to begin pitching in games again, Treinen will likely need to participate in multiple minor-league outings before he's ready to join the big-league bullpen given how much time he's already missed.

Masyn Winn SS | STL
Cardinals' Masyn Winn: Not starting Sunday
Winn won't start Sunday against the Diamondbacks, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Winn takes a seat for the fourth time in 16 games this season, though he's off to a hot start with a .349 average, five RBI and two steals. Brandon Crawford will start at shortstop and bat ninth Sunday.

Victor Scott II CF | STL
Cardinals' Victor Scott: First break of 2024
Scott will not start Sunday against the Diamondbacks, John Denton of MLB.com reports.
Scott has started all 15 games this year for the Cardinals, but Mike Siani will man center field Sunday in Arizona. With center fielders Tommy Edman (wrist) and Dylan Carlson (shoulder) both sidelined, the rookie Scott has gotten a hefty workload, though he's only produced five hits from 57 plate appearances.
