  • Dean Kremer SP | BAL

    Orioles' Dean Kremer: Close to playing catch

    Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said Tuesday that Kremer (triceps) is improving and could be cleared to play catch soon, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Kremer was placed on the 15-day injured list this past Friday, but it's looking like his absence might not last long. That said, it might be a push for the right-hander to return when eligible on June 5. More should be known on Kremer's potential timetable in the coming days.

  • Andre Pallante RP | STL

    Cardinals' Andre Pallante: Set to start Wednesday

    Pallante is expected to start Wednesday's game against the Reds, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Pallante is likely to make his first big-league start since 2022 on Wednesday. However, manager Oli Marmol said Tuesday that he wouldn't name a starter until after Tuesday's game, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports. Pallante has made three starts at the Triple-A level this season but hasn't pitched deeper than five innings, owning a 2.20 ERA and a 9:13 K:BB across 16.1 total innings.

  • Sammy Peralta RP | CHW

    White Sox's Sammy Peralta: DFA'd again Tuesday

    Peralta was designated for assignment by the White Sox on Tuesday.

    The club needed to free up a spot on its 40-man roster for Jake Woodford, who will start Tuesday versus the Blue Jays. Peralta was just claimed off waivers Sunday and will now go through the waiver process again.

  • Joey Cantillo SP | CLE

    Guardians' Joey Cantillo: Starting rehab assignment

    Cantillo (hamstring) will make a start in the Arizona Complex League on Thursday

    Cantillo sustained a strained hamstring toward the end of spring training and was given an 8-to-10-week timetable for return. He seems to be on track with his rehab considering Thursday's start comes around the eight-week mark. A top pitching prospect in the Guardians system, Cantillo got his first taste of Triple-A action last season, logging a 4.64 ERA across 95.0 innings on 18 starts.

  • Joey Gallo 1B | WAS

    Nationals' Joey Gallo: Sitting versus southpaw

    Gallo is absent from the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

    Gallo had started 10 straight games since returning from the injured list, but he will begin Tuesday's festivities on the bench as Atlanta goes with Max Fried as its starting pitcher. Joey Meneses will cover first base.

  • Eddie Rosario RF | WAS

    Nationals' Eddie Rosario: Absent from lineup

    Rosario is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Atlanta.

    Left-hander Max Fried is slated to start for Atlanta, so the lefty-batting Rosario will begin this one on the bench. The veteran outfielder hasn't made a single start versus a southpaw this season.

  • Luis Garcia 2B | WAS

    Nationals' Luis Garcia: Sitting against lefty

    Garcia is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against Atlanta.

    With southpaw Max Fried on the hill for Atlanta, the left-handed hitting Garcia will yield to switch-hitter Ildemaro Vargas at second base. Garcia has made just three starts against lefties this season.

  • Jake Woodford SP | CHW

    White Sox's Jake Woodford: Promoted to start Tuesday

    Woodford is having his contract selected from Triple-A Charlotte and will start Tuesday against the Blue Jays, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

    The right-hander joined the White Sox on a minor-league deal in January and will receive his first look in the big leagues this year as Mike Clevinger (elbow) heads to the injured list. Woodford posteed a 6.23 ERA over 47.2 innings for St. Louis in 2023 and hasn't pitched particularly well for Charlotte this year with a 5.26 ERA and 42:17 K:BB in 10 starts.

  • Jake Junis RP | MIL

    Brewers' Jakob Junis: Tossing bullpen

    Junis (shoulder/head) threw a bullpen session ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cubs, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Junis has resumed his throwing program after his rehab from a right shoulder impingement was derailed by a ball that struck him in the head during batting practice April 22. The right-hander was shifted from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL shortly after the incident and is on schedule for a return sometime in June. Hogg also reports that Junis is set for a live bullpen session Friday and would begin a rehab assignment next week if the live bullpen session goes well.

  • Mike Clevinger SP | CHW

    White Sox's Mike Clevinger: Headed to IL with sore elbow

    The White Sox placed Clevinger on the 15-day injured list Tuesday, retroactive to May 25, with right elbow inflammation, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Clevinger had been slated to start Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays but has landed on the IL instead. It's not yet clear how serious the injury is or how much time Clevinger might miss. Jake Woodford is coming up from Triple-A Charlotte to start Tuesday and he could be needed for multiple outings.
