Athletics' Osvaldo Bido: Optioned to Triple-A
The Athletics optioned Bido to Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.
Bido earned a spot on the Athletics' Opening Day roster, but he struggled across his nine starts, posting a 5.82 ERA, 1.62 WHIP and 29:18 K:BB across 43.1 innings. He'll go down to Triple-A to regain his form while Matt Krook and Anthony Maldonado join the big-league pitching staff.

Dodgers' Justin Wrobleski: Sent back to OKC
The Dodgers optioned Wrobleski to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Wrobleski pitched well after being recalled Thursday, tossing four shutout frames and striking out four batters while collecting his first win of the season. However, he'll now be sent back to the Comets in favor of Ryan Loutos, who offers another fresh arm to Los Angeles' bullpen.

Rockies' Carson Palmquist: Officially called up from Triple-A
The Rockies selected Palmquist's contract from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday.
Palmquist started the season in Triple-A, but with Ryan Feltner (back) still on the injured list, the 24-year-old southpaw is slated to make his major-league debut against Arizona on Friday, per Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post. Palmquist has a 2-2 record across seven starts in Triple-A this season with a 3.82 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 45:18 K:BB across 35.1 innings.

Eduardo Rodriguez SP | ARI
Diamondbacks' Eduardo Rodriguez: Lands on IL with shoulder injury
The Diamondbacks placed Rodriguez on the 15-day injured list Friday due to left shoulder inflammation.
Rodriguez has given up four earned runs or more in four of his last five outings, and his left shoulder injury may have played a factor in those performances. He'll be shut down from throwing and undergo further tests and imaging, and the results will help the Diamondbacks determine a rehab program for the 32-year-old southpaw. With Rodriguez on the 15-day IL and Joe Mantiply optioned to Triple-A Reno, Arizona is bringing up Scott McGough and Christian Montes De Oca from Triple-A in corresponding moves.

Sean Manaea SP | NYM
Mets' Sean Manaea: Throwing bullpen session Tuesday
Manaea (oblique) is slated to throw another bullpen session Tuesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
Manaea resumed a throwing program in mid-April following a PRP injection and has progressed to throwing from the bump again. He shouldn't be far off from facing hitters and eventually going out on a rehab assignment, but no target date for either has been revealed by the Mets yet.

Edward Cabrera SP | CHC
Marlins' Edward Cabrera: Pushed back with fingernail issue
Marlins manager Clayton McCullough said Friday that Cabrera's next start has been pushed back a few days due to fluid buildup in his fingernail area, Isaac Azout of FishOnFirst.com reports.
Cabrera's next turn had been scheduled to come up this weekend against the Rays, but he appears poised to take the ball early next week versus the Cubs instead, although McCullough didn't reveal the exact day for Cabrera's planned return. The righty has a history of fingernail/blister problems, but it appears at this juncture that this one will not require a stint on the 15-day injured list.

Richard Fitts SP | STL
Red Sox's Richard Fitts: Rehab start could come next week
Fitts (pectoral) is away from the Red Sox due to a personal matter but could begin a rehab assignment late next week, Mac Cerullo of the Boston Herald reports.
Fitts went on the 15-day injured list in early April with a right pectoral strain. Given the long layoff, he will likely require at least a couple rehab starts, and the hurler is a good bet to be optioned to Triple-A Worcester once his rehab is finished.

Moises Chace SP | PHI
Phillies' Moises Chace: Needs Tommy John surgery
Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Friday that Chace will undergo Tommy John surgery, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Chace made six starts with Double-A Reading this season before blowing out his elbow, collecting a 3.24 ERA and 19:12 K:BB over 16.2 innings. The 21-year-old will likely be sidelined until around midseason next year.

Tanner Houck SP | BOS
Red Sox's Tanner Houck: Clear of structural damage
Houck had an MRI on his right elbow come back clean Friday, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
The 28-year-old remains without a clear return timeline, but a clean MRI is encouraging news after he was placed on the injured list Thursday due to a right flexor pronator strain. Houck will be eligible to rejoin the active roster May 28, but it wouldn't be surprising if he requires a longer absence given the nature of the injury.

Walker Buehler SP | SD
Red Sox's Walker Buehler: Lined up to return Tuesday
Red Sox manager Alex Cora said Friday that Buehler (shoulder) is lined up to rejoin the rotation Tuesday against the Mets, Christopher Smith of MassLive.com reports.
Buehler threw a successful live batting practice session Thursday, and the Red Sox are waiting until Saturday to see how he recovers before they officially clear him to return. The right-hander has been out since early May with right shoulder inflammation but is poised to skip a rehab assignment and go right back into Boston's rotation.
