Glasnow (oblique) is likely to make another rehab start at Triple-A Durham before returning from the 15-day injured list, Tricia Whitaker of Bally Sports Sun reports.

Glasnow was excellent in a rehab start with Durham on Tuesday, striking out nine over four scoreless innings. While the positive outing seems to have put any concern over his minor setback in his May 10 rehab start to bed, he still needs to be built back up a bit. Assuming Glasnow comes through his next outing at Durham -- likely on Sunday -- no worse for the wear, he should be ready to make his season debut for Tampa Bay the following weekend against the Dodgers.

Rodon (back) advanced his throwing to 90 feet Wednesday without issue, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

The cortisone injection for Rodon's chronic back issue seems to have done the trick, as he's thrown multiple times in the last several days without any problems and plans for a second injection have been scuttled. Rodon will continue to ramp up his throwing program in the coming days and will eventually try things from the mound if he continues to progress.

Bradley will start for the Rays on Thursday in New York against the Mets, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Ideally, the Rays would probably like to keep Bradley in the minors a little longer as he works on his pitch mix and getting used to a traditional five-day schedule. However, with the big-league club's rotation hit hard by injuries, the team doesn't have much of a choice here. While Bradley struggled lately at Triple-A Durham, he was excellent in his three starts with the Rays earlier this season and will have a shot to remain in the rotation for the long haul.

Severino (lat) will make his season debut for the Yankees on Sunday in Cincinnati, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Severino went only 3.1 innings in each of his two rehab starts, maxing out at 58 pitches in his last outing Tuesday with Double-A Somerset. That means he'll surely be on a relatively limited pitch count in his season debut, making him a fairly iffy fantasy option at Great American Ball Park. Still, the Yankees and fantasy managers will be happy to get Severino back -- perhaps for the long haul -- if he can manage to avoid more injuries.

Martin announced Wednesday that he underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow, James Fegan of The Athletic reports.

The White Sox talked Martin up as a rotation candidate this spring, but he got sent to Triple-A Charlotte before Opening Day and his forearm/elbow began barking after just three starts with the affiliate. Given that Tommy John surgery usually entails a recovery timeline of 14-to-16 months, the 26-year-old will likely be sidelined until well into the second half of the 2024 season.

Rodriguez (4-3) took the loss Wednesday, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over five innings against the Pirates. He struck out five.

Rodriguez matched a season high with four runs allowed Wednesday after he'd allowed just two runs over his previous six starts (41.2 innings). The 30-year-old left-hander still sports a sparkling 2.06 ERA with a 0.86 WHIP and 52:12 K:BB through 56.2 innings this season. Rodriguez will look to get back on track in his next outing, tentatively scheduled for next week in Kansas City.

Hill (4-3) earned the win Wednesday, allowing one hit and two walks over six scoreless innings against the Tigers. He struck out seven.

Hill allowed just one hit in the contest, a leadoff single to Matt Vierling in the first inning, before retiring 15 of his last 17 batters faced. The 43-year-old Hill has now recorded quality starts in five of his nine outings this year. He lowered his ERA to 3.80 with a 1.35 WHIP and 43:15 K:BB over 47.1 innings.

Milwaukee placed Miley on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a strained left lat.

Miley suffered the injury in the second inning of his start in Tuesday's win over the Cardinals. The Brewers haven't offered up a timetable for Miley's return, as the veteran left-hander had to be sent back to Milwaukee to undergo further testing. Reliever Jake Cousins was called up from Triple-A Nashville in a corresponding move.

May left Wednesday's start against the Twins with right elbow pain, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports. He struck out two batters over one scoreless inning before exiting.

May threw just 16 pitches and sported a fastball that sat around 93-to-95 miles per hour -- a few ticks below his season average -- before he was replaced by Dylan Covey in the second frame. The Dodgers are labeling May as day-to-day for the time being, but he'll presumably be put through tests in the next day or two as the team looks to get a read on the extent of the injury. Given that May missed most of the 2021 and 2022 seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery on the elbow, he's most likely be headed for the injured list. Assuming May does miss time, Gavin Stone could be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City to replace May in the rotation.

St. Louis recalled Liberatore from Triple-A Memphis on Wednesday.

As was previously reported, Liberatore will make his first major-league start of the season Wednesday versus the division-rival Brewers. The highly-touted 23-year-old left-hander was sporting a 3.13 ERA with 56 strikeouts through 46 innings (eight starts) this season at the Triple-A level and is worth a shot in most standard fantasy formats. If he stays on turn, his next start with the Cardinals would be on the road against the Reds.
