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.

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.

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.
