Brock Stewart (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Tuesday with Low-A Fort Myers.
Stewart is still a couple weeks away from returning to Minnesota’s high-leverage mix, but it’s a great sign that he’s ready to kick off a rehab assignment. The 33-year-old righty has been out since spring training recovering from a left hamstring strain.
Free agent Gabe Davis will visit the New York Giants.
Cut by the Jaguars after one season last week, Davis visited the 49ers on Monday. New York would be a reunion of sorts, as he played for Giants coach Brian Daboll in Buffalo. The G-Men already have several wideouts capable of stretching the field, but 26-year-old Davis could still be a decent role player in a strong offense. The problem, of course, is that the Giants profile as anything but, but rookie QB Jaxson Dart is comfortable throwing down the field.
Ravens S Ar’Darius Washington has been diagnosed with a torn achilles suffered during offseason training.
The fifth-year pro became a weekly starter for the first time last season, earning elite PFF marks in the process. He was a restricted free agent this spring but had yet to sign his $3.26 million tender. That’s a tough break, to put it mildly. Achilles timelines have shortened significantly in recent years, but Washington will probably still miss the entire 2025 campaign. The Ravens are protected in part by their first-round selection of fellow S Malaki Starks, but May is not the month you already want to be dipping into your depth. Going on 26, Washington’s career future is murky after he worked so hard to finally become a regular contributor last season.
Bryce Miller said Sunday evening that he’s been pitching through arm soreness and back tightness.
Miller was tagged for seven runs over five innings on Sunday in a loss to the Blue Jays before telling reporters that he’s been dealing with some lingering physical issues that have impacted his on-field performance. It doesn’t sound like he’s at risk of missing his next start on Saturday against the Padres, but it’s a variable that fantasy managers need to monitor in upcoming outings.
Ronald Acuña Jr. (knee) launched a solo homer on Tuesday in a minor league rehab game in the Rookie-level Florida Complex League.
Acuña went deep in his third and final at-bat of the contest and also completed six innings defensively in right field during his rehab debut. Atlanta’s front office hasn’t disclosed how long his rehab stint might last, but we’re anticipating the 27-year-old fantasy superstar getting at least a couple weeks of minor league contests under his belt to knock off some rust and get back up to full speed. It’s possible he’ll be ready to make his season debut at some point in late May or early June.
Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) has been cleared to start a throwing program.
Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Glasnow will continue working towards throwing bullpen session later this week after completing his checkup with Dr. Neal ElAttrache. The 31-year-old fantasy ace, who is working his way back from shoulder inflammation, remains without a clear return timetable yet, but it’s an encouraging sign that he’s starting to make some progress.
Logan Gilbert (elbow) threw a 25-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday at T-Mobile Park.
Gilbert is making steady progress in his recovery from a flexor strain in his right elbow and should be ready to face hitters at some point in the near future. It’s theoretically possible that he’ll wrap up a minor league rehab assignment and make it back to Seattle’s rotation at some point in June.
