Scarborough (melanoma) was activated from the 7-day injured list May 29.

Scarborough managed to complete a rehab assignment in the Arizona Complex League in May and has since been deployed for a pair of starts since being activated from the IL by High-A Hub City. He's surrendered two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six over seven innings across those two appearances.

Faedo (shoulder) signed a minor-league contract with the Angels on May 21.

Faedo has found a new club after being designated for assignment and eventually electing free agency last November. He underwent thoracic outlet syndrome surgery in August of 2025, but he appears to have returned to full strength after making two appearances in the Arizona Complex League earlier this month, surrendering four runs (three earned) on three hits and one walk while striking out four over 2.2 innings. Faedo figures to receive additional opportunities in the ACL as he goes through an abbreviated spring training and could eventually settle in at Triple-A, where he'll serve as organizational pitching depth.

Fedde will pitch in a bulk-relief role Tuesday against Atlanta at Rate Field, James Fegan of SoxMachine.com reports.

Fedde picked up his first win of the season in a traditional start last week versus the Twins, but he will follow opener Brandon Eisert on Tuesday. The right-handed Fedde has collected a 4.94 ERA and 36:24 K:BB over 58.1 frames for the White Sox this season.

Povich (elbow) will resume throwing bullpen sessions this week, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Inflammation in his left elbow landed Povich on the 15-day injured list exactly one month ago, and he's finally improved enough to throw off the mound again. The southpaw is likely to require at least one rehab start before rejoining the Orioles. If Povich beats Dean Kremer (quadriceps) and/or Chris Bassitt (back) back from the IL, he'll have a good chance to enter the Baltimore rotation.

Cease (hamstring) will return from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday's game against the Phillies in Toronto, Mitch Bannon of The Athletic reports.

Cease made his one and only rehab start with Triple-A Buffalo last Thursday, giving up five runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six over four innings. He's been shelved for just two weeks and threw 75 pitches in his rehab outing, so Cease should have close to a full workload at his disposal when taking on the Phillies. The veteran hurler is coming back from a strained left hamstring.

Schmidt (elbow) has been "feeling great" during recent mound sessions and could start throwing to hitters by the end of June, per MLB.com.

Schmidt continues to recover from the internal brace procedure he underwent last July. The right-handed hurler has been throwing from a mound since early April and most recently had a 20-pitch session. If all goes well moving forward, Schmidt could be ready to be activated from the 60-day IL sometime in August.

The Orioles recalled Gibson from Triple-A Norfolk and will have him start Monday's game against the Mariners at Camden Yards.

The 24-year-old righty will be entering the Baltimore rotation as a replacement for right-hander Chris Bassitt (back), who was moved to the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Gibson is up with the Orioles for his fourth stint of the season, after previously turning in a 3.65 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 5:7 K:BB in 12.1 innings over his first three big-league appearances (two starts).

The Orioles placed Bassitt on the 15-day injured list Monday due to low back discomfort.

Bassitt was lifted early from his last start Wednesday in Boston due to a tight back, but after briefly returning to Baltimore to get examined, he rejoined the Orioles over the weekend for their road series in Toronto. Though the righty appeared to be trending toward taking the hill for his next turn in the rotation Monday versus the Mariners, the Orioles instead have opted to place him on the IL to give him more time to move past the back issue. Trey Gibson was called up from Triple-A Norfolk and will draw the start Monday in place of Bassitt, who will be eligible to return from the IL beginning June 20. Per Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun, manager Craig Albernaz said Bassitt is still "looking at his options" for a treatment plan for the injury and is scheduled to receive a second opinion later this week.

The Royals announced Monday that Bubic (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Omaha on Tuesday.

Bubic hasn't pitched since May 14 due to left elbow soreness and general arm fatigue, but he's been throwing for the past couple weeks and is ready to pitch in a game situation. Prior to landing on the 15-day injured list, Bubic recorded a 4.11 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 51:26 K:BB across 50.1 innings. As long as he continues to improve, Bubic should rejoin the Royals' rotation within the next couple weeks.

Sandoval (biceps) will make his next rehab start for Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, MLB.com reports.

Currently in the midst of his second rehab assignment of the season, Sandoval is being built up slowly while he works his way back from left biceps discomfort. During his previous rehab outing Friday with Worcester, the left-hander threw 16 pitches over 1.1 innings, allowing no hits and walking one batter.
