  • Dinelson Lamet RP | LAD

    Padres' Dinelson Lamet: Slated to throw live BP

    Lamet (forearm) is scheduled to throw live batting practice Wednesday, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

    The right-hander's quick return to mound work is good news after he left his season debut April 21 after 29 pitches due to forearm tightness, and a positive session Wednesday should provide a barometer on where he stands in his recovery. Lamet could be cleared to return from the injured list within the next couple weeks with a strong showing against live hitters.

  • Yankees' Wandy Peralta: Shipped to Yankees

    Peralta was traded from the Giants to the Yankees on Tuesday in exchange for Mike Tauchman, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.

    The 29-year-old appeared 10 games for the Giants this season, posting a 5.40 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 8:3 K:BB over 8.1 innings. Peralta should fill a middle-relief role and provide lefty depth in the bullpen for the Yankees.

  • Nate Pearson RP | KC

    Blue Jays' Nate Pearson: Will throw at alt site Thursday

    Pearson (groin) built up to 51 pitches over the weekend and will throw 3-to-4 rehab innings at the alternate site Thursday, Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca reports.

    He gave up four earned runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two in his most recent rehab outing, and it sounds like the Jays want him to look a little sharper this week before determining the next steps. If all goes well Thursday, it's possible Pearson could join the big-league rotation next week.

  • Wander Suero RP | ATH

    Nationals' Wander Suero: Begins throwing program

    Suero (oblique) began a throwing program Monday, Jesse Dougherty of The Washington Post reports.

    Suero has already spent the required 10 days on the injured list with his oblique strain, but he'll need more time since he's only just resumed throwing. He's hoping to throw a bullpen session by the end of the week.

  • Chris Martin RP | TEX

    Braves' Chris Martin: Still needs more time

    Martin (shoulder) will throw a bullpen session this week and a pair of simulated games before returning from the injured list, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Martin has been out since early April due to shoulder inflammation. Previous reports indicated he could return during the team's current homestand, but that ends Thursday. He's expected to throw at least three more times before being activated, so he likely won't return until sometime next week.

  • Mike Shawaryn RP | BOS

    Royals' Mike Shawaryn: Inks minors deal with Royals

    Shawaryn signed a minor-league deal with the Royals on Tuesday.

    Once a somewhat noteworthy prospect in Boston's farm system, Shawaryn will move on to his second organization. The 26-year-old righty will likely open the year at Double-A or Triple-A.

  • Trevor Gott RP | WAS

    Giants' Trevor Gott: Clears waivers

    Gott cleared waivers and was outrighted to the Giants' alternate training site Tuesday, Kerry Crowley of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

    Gott spent just a single day on the Giants' roster in mid-April before being designated for assignment. He'll remain with the organization as minor-league depth.

  • Patrick Weigel RP | COL

    Brewers' Patrick Weigel: Joins big-league roster

    Weigel was recalled by the Brewers on Tuesday.

    Weigel is set to make his Milwaukee debut after coming over in a trade from Atlanta in early April. Phil Bickford was optioned in a corresponding move.

  • Phil Bickford RP | DET

    Brewers' Phil Bickford: Sent back to secondary site

    Bickford was optioned to the Brewers' alternate training site Tuesday.

    Bickford spent three days on the big-league roster, making one relief appearance. He allowed two runs in one inning of work Monday against Miami. Patrick Weigel was recalled in a corresponding move.

  • Taylor Rogers RP | MIN

    Twins' Taylor Rogers: Next up in Minnesota

    With Alex Colome reportedly moving to a lower-leverage role, Rogers is seemingly poised to serve as Minnesota's closer for the time being.

    Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports that Colome will move to a lower-leverage role after giving up 10 hits and six earned runs over his last four innings while converting just 40 percent of his save chances on the season. Meanwhile, Rogers has given up zero earned runs while striking out 11 over 9.1 innings.
