  • Chris Martin RP | TEX

    Red Sox's Chris Martin: Available Tuesday

    Martin (shoulder) threw a bullpen session and is available for Tuesday's game in Atlanta, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    The right-hander has been dealing with an injury to his left shoulder over the past few days but is now ready to take the mound. Martin was a dominant setup option last season with a 1.05 ERA in 55 outings, but he's struggled early in 2024 with a 5.11 ERA across 12.1 innings.

  • Chad Green RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Chad Green: Playing long toss

    Green (shoulder) has progressed to playing long toss, and the team is hopeful he can throw off a mound later this week, Arden Zwelling of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    Green has been on the injured list since April 20 due to a teres major strain in his right shoulder. A clearer timeline on his return may emerge once he gets back on a mound, but he figures to still be at least a week or two away from rejoining Toronto's bullpen.

  • Nick Burdi RP | NYM

    Yankees' Nick Burdi: Rehab moves to Triple-A

    Burdi's (hip) has been transferred to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to continue his rehab assignment.

    Burdi started his rehab stint at Double-A Somerset, but he'll get the opportunity to pitch at the Triple-A level before his eventual reinstatement from the injured list, which should come within the next week or so.

  • Josh Winder RP | ARI

    Twins' Josh Winder: Rehab moved to St. Paul

    Winder (shoulder) is continuing his rehab assignment at Triple-A St. Paul, Brandon Warne of Access Twins reported Tuesday.

    Winder's rehab stint began with Low-A Fort Myers on April 30, and despite allowing four runs in 3.2 innings, he'll move up to St. Paul to continue his recovery. Even though he's set to return in late May or early June, Winder isn't guaranteed a big-league roster spot, so he'll likely need to make a strong case during his time at Triple-A to improve his chances.

  • Red Sox's Josh Winckowski: Works in relief Sunday

    Winckowski made his most recent appearance as a reliever in Sunday's 9-2 win over the Twins, tossing one inning and allowing one run on two hits.

    Winckowski worked as a starter in each of his prior three outings, but his usage out of the bullpen to close out the weekend signals that he'll lose out on a rotation spot with Nick Pivetta (elbow) due to return from the 15-day injured list Wednesday and with Brayan Bello (lat) perhaps being activated from the IL as soon as Sunday. Over his three starts, Winckowski delivered a 1.69 ERA and 0.94 WHIP, but he never covered more than 4.1 innings in any outing and thus missed out on qualifying for a win on any occasion.

  • Chase Anderson RP | TEX

    Red Sox's Chase Anderson: Shifts back to bullpen

    Anderson made his most recent appearance as a reliever in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Twins, covering two scoreless innings while giving up one hit and one walk and striking out one.

    Anderson made a spot start April 25 in Cleveland, but his relief appearance over the weekend signals that he'll lose out on a rotation spot with Nick Pivetta (elbow) on track to return from the 15-day injured list to start Wednesday in Atlanta.

  • Austin Adams RP | BOS

    Athletics' Austin Adams: Grabs ninth hold Monday

    Adams recorded his ninth hold in Monday's loss to the Rangers, firing a scoreless seventh inning during which he recorded two strikeouts.

    Adams got through his one frame on a fairly efficient 14 pitches, lowering his ERA to 1.59 in the process. The right-hander has now cobbled together six consecutive scoreless appearances, a span in which he's recorded four holds and an 11.3 K/9.

  • Sam Bachman RP | LAA

    Angels' Sam Bachman: Resuming mound work

    Bachman (shoulder) is scheduled to throw off a mound Tuesday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Bachman underwent shoulder surgery last October and had his rehab halted by back spasms in late April. However, the back issue appears to have subsided, allowing the right-hander to resume working toward a return to game action. Bachman is likely to need a multi-week rehab assignment in the minors before the Angels consider bringing him up to the big-league club.

  • Dany Jimenez RP | ATL

    Athletics' Dany Jimenez: Sent to minors

    The Athletics optioned Jimenez to Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday.

    The right-hander began the season in a high-leverage role and didn't give up an earned run in his first five appearances, but he has a 5.40 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 9:8 K:BB over his past 10 innings. Six of those walks came in Jimenez's past four outings, and he'll head to Triple-A to work on his command.

  • Erasmo Ramirez RP | MIN

    Rays' Erasmo Ramirez: Earns win in long relief

    Ramirez (2-0) walked one and struck out one across three scoreless innings to earn the win Monday against the White Sox.

    Ramirez followed starter Tyler Alexander into the game in the fifth inning and turned in his second consecutive scoreless appearance. Ramirez has worked primarily in long relief since being recalled to the Rays on April 21, as he's completed at least two frames in four of his six outings. Despite limited strikeout upside -- he has eight punchouts across 11.1 innings of work -- he could be in position to earn more wins than a traditional reliever.
