Tigers' John Brebbia: Resumes throwing program
Brebbia (triceps) has resumed a throwing program, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports.
Brebbia just landed on the 15-day injured list this past weekend with a right triceps strain, so it's a good sign that he's already playing catch. The reliever will be eligible for activation May 4, and it would seem he has a shot to be ready at that time.

Casey Lawrence RP | SEA
Mariners' Casey Lawrence: Remains in organization
Lawrence cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.
The right-hander was designated for assignment over the weekend by the Mariners for the second time in April, but he'll again stick in the organization after passing through waivers unclaimed. Lawrence has given up two earned runs with a 1:1 K:BB over five frames in the majors this season and has a 4.35 ERA across 10.1 innings as a starter for Tacoma.

Andrew Walters P | CLE
Guardians' Andrew Walters: Shelved at Triple-A
Triple-A Columbus placed Walters on its 7-day injured list Monday due to an unspecified injury.
After failing to win a spot in the Guardians' Opening Day bullpen coming out of spring training, Walters had gotten off to a strong start to the season with Columbus, producing a 1.35 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB in 6.2 innings over seven appearances. However, the right-hander sustained an apparent injury during his most recent appearance Wednesday, temporarily halting any momentum he might have built for a promotion to the big leagues.

Zack Kelly RP | BOS
Red Sox's Zack Kelly: Set to be optioned to Triple-A
The Red Sox will option Kelly to Triple-A Worcester prior to Tuesday's game against the Mariners, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.
The transaction will clear a spot on the active roster for Brayan Bello (shoulder), who is slated to make his season debut. Kelly boasts an 11:2 K:BB over 10 innings this season but has also surrendered 10 runs across his seven appearances.

Michael Arias RP | NYY
Yankees' Michael Arias: On IL at Triple-A
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre placed Arias on the 7-day injured list March 28.
The hard-throwing righty was dealt from the Cubs to the Yankees in exchange for cash in January after the Cubs had designated Arias for assignment. The days of Arias starting are over, but he had eight strikeouts and one walk in five one-inning spring training appearances and could develop into a high-leverage reliever in a couple years.

Cody Poteet RP | BAL
Orioles' Cody Poteet: Sent to IL with shoulder injury
The Orioles placed Poteet on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with right shoulder inflammation.
Poteet was rocked for five runs while throwing 68 pitches over 2.2 innings in Sunday's blowout loss to the Reds and apparently came out of the appearance with a shoulder problem. It's not clear how long he might be sidelined.
