  • Kenley Jansen RP | DET

    Dodgers' Kenley Jansen: Nabs 13th save

    Jansen picked up the save against the Padres on Tuesday, working around one hit to fire a scoreless ninth inning in a 6-3 victory for the Dodgers. He struck out one and walked none.

    Jansen picked up his first save since May 4 with this scoreless effort for his 13th of the season in 15 opportunities. His 4.19 ERA is uncharacteristically high, but that's mainly due to a four-run blowup against San Diego on May 5. He still boasts a 0.98 WHIP and 26:4 K:BB through 19.1 innings, and his ERA is likely to correct back toward his career mark of 2.27 as he logs more innings.

  • Alex Reyes RP | LAD

    Cardinals' Alex Reyes: Plenty of work in extended spring

    Reyes (finger) threw approximately 70 pitches in an extended spring training appearance Monday, Jenifer Langosch of MLB.com reports.

    Reyes continues to work with a splint on his injured left pinkie finger, which is due to be reexamined near the end of the week. Reyes could gain clearance to begin using a glove in that evaluation, which would then result in him graduating to playing defense in a controlled setting or in a game for High-A Palm Beach.

  • Jesse Biddle RP | ARI

    Braves' Jesse Biddle: Rocked in return

    Biddle (groin) allowed three runs on four hits and a walk in one-third of an inning in Tuesday's 14-3 loss to the Cardinals.

    The 27-year-old reliever missed about two-and-a-half weeks with the injury, and struggled in a lopsided game. Biddle is 0-1 on the year with a 5.40 ERA after the poor relief appearance.

  • Caleb Ferguson RP | STL

    Dodgers' Caleb Ferguson: Set to return Friday

    Ferguson (oblique) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list Friday, Jorge Castillo of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Ferguson made two minor-league rehab appearances over the last week, clearing the way for his return to the majors. The 22-year-old had a 3.46 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 14:8 K:BB over 13 innings prior to sustaining the left oblique injury at the end of April.

  • Drew Pomeranz RP | CHC

    Giants' Drew Pomeranz: Throws live BP

    Pomeranz (lat) completed a four-inning, 60-pitch live bullpen session Tuesday, Amy Gutierrez of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

    Pomeranz also apparently passed all the tests necessary to come off the injured list after suffering the left lat strain last week. The 30-year-old appears to be near a return but it's unclear whether or not the Giants plan to send him on a brief minor-league rehab assignment.

  • JT Chargois RP | TEX

    Dodgers' JT Chargois: Rejoins Dodgers

    Chargois was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Bill Plunkett of The Orange County Register reports.

    Chargois returns to Los Angeles after Julio Urias was placed on administrative leave. Chargois had a 3.34 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 40:15 K:BB over 32.1 innings for the Dodgers last season, but has pitched in only two major-league games in 2019.

  • Justin Wilson RP | BOS

    Mets' Justin Wilson: No structural damage

    Wilson's sore left elbow has no structural damage, Justin Toscano of The Bergen Record reports.

    Wilson lasted just five days upon his return from the injured list before requiring a second stint Saturday, but he isn't dealing with anything worse than inflammation. It's not clear when he's expected to return.

  • Jesse Biddle RP | ARI

    Braves' Jesse Biddle: Activated from IL

    Biddle (groin) was activated from the 10-day injured list Tuesday, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

    Biddle landed on the injured list near the end of April with a right groin strain, but after completing his rehab stint, he'll return to the big leagues. Jerry Blevins has been designated for assignment and Kyle Wright was optioned to Triple-A Gwinnett in corresponding moves.

  • Mitch White RP | MIL

    Dodgers' Mitchell White: Promoted to Triple-A

    White has been promoted to Triple-A Oklahoma City, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

    White had been excelling for Double-A Tulsa, so the Dodgers will bump the 2016 second-round pick out of Santa Clara University up a level. He posted a 2.10 ERA and 0.83 WHIP over seven starts for the Drillers.

  • Andrew Suarez RP | BAL

    Giants' Andrew Suarez: Knocked around for five runs

    Suarez allowed five runs on nine hits and one walk while striking out six over 5.1 innings in Triple-A Sacramento's loss to El Paso on Monday.

    The lefty went down with a hamstring strain April 20, but it was diagnosed as a Grade 1 pull and Suarez was able to return in a little under three weeks. After losing out on a big-league rotation spot in spring training, Suarez has gone on to post a 6.33 ERA and 1.70 WHIP through six starts for Sacramento. He's not exactly making a strong case to return to the majors, but chances are, the Giants will need him to chew up innings later in the year after they sell off some of their top assets.
