Nick Tepesch - S - Rangers

Nick Tepesch (blister) has been cleared to start Sunday in Seattle.

Tepesch had to be scratched from his last start due to a blister on his right middle finger, but he's fine now. The right-hander holds a 3.98 ERA and 1.33 WHIP over eight starts this season.

Jake Westbrook - S - Cardinals

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Rick Hummel writes that Jake Westbrook (elbow) "does not seem to be seriously hurt but his rehabilitation program may be dialed back a little."

Westbrook tried throwing from a mound Wednesday for the first time since landing on the DL but had to stop after 20 pitches due to lingering pain in his right elbow. The Cardinals don't believe he has structural damage in the elbow, but clearly he's not ready to return anytime soon. It's not clear what the next step for the right-hander is.

Chad Gaudin - R - Giants

Chad Gaudin could get a shot in the Giants' rotation following the injury to Ryan Vogelsong (hand).

Gaudin has been great in long relief for San Francisco this season, posting a 2.08 ERA and 1.19 WHIP while striking out nearly a batter per inning. He's thrown more than two innings just once this month, though, so he's obviously not as stretched out as you'd hope. Manager Bruce Bochy and GM Brian Sabean have also noted that Gaudin is very valuable in his current role. Other options to replace Vogelsong include Shane Loux and Mike Kickham.

Jarrod Dyson - OF - Royals

Royals manager Ned Yost said Jarrod Dyson (ankle) is likely "at least three weeks" away from returning.

Dyson is dealing with a high right ankle sprain. He had been receiving more starts before the injury and again could threaten Jeff Francoeur for playing time once healthy.

Carlos Carrasco - S - Indians

The Indians are contemplating when to promote Carlos Carrasco.

Carrasco deserves another shot in the rotation, having posted a 1.36 ERA while striking out 41 over 39 2/3 Triple-A innings. The problem is that he has to serve a suspension, which will last eight games unless it's reduced following his appeal. "Once we have a sense of what the final suspension will be, maybe it's eight games, maybe it's less, we'll have an idea how to work around it," said general manager Chris Antonetti. It would be easiest to work around the suspension at the All-Star break, but it's possible the Tribe will call Carrasco up before then.

Pedro Florimon Jr. - SS - Twins

Pedro Florimon Jr. (finger) will not be in the lineup Friday.

The good news is that Florimon isn't expected to miss much time after leaving Thursday's game with a right index finger sprain. Eduardo Escobar is likely to be at shortstop for the Twins Friday.

Bryan Shaw - R - Indians

Bryan Shaw boasts a 1.54 ERA over 18 appearances in his first season for the Indians.

Acquired from the Diamondbacks as a bit player in January's complicated three-team trade, Shaw has been a linchpin in Cleveland's bullpen, compiling a 1.07 WHIP and 23/7 K/BB ratio in 23 1/3 innings. He's only earned two holds, however, and they came in consecutive appearances earlier this month.
May 24 - 5:38 AM
Cesar Ramos - R - Rays

Cesar Ramos has allowed runs in his last two appearances.

He took the loss Wednesday in Toronto. Prior to those outings, Ramos hadn't allowed a run in May. He owns a 3.44 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 12/5 K/BB ratio over 18 1/3 frames, but only one hold in 17 games.
