Tyler Lyons - R - Cardinals

Cardinals manager Mike Matheny indicated Thursday that the team is likely to being up a pitcher from Triple-A Memphis to start on Monday in place of the injured Joe Kelly (hamstring).

That almost surely means it will be Tyler Lyons that gets the call. Matheny did add that if it looks like Kelly will be sidelined for a while, Carlos Martinez would then become an option. For now, though, they're leaving Martinez in the bullpen. Lyons is a fine stop-gap option, having put up a 4.75 ERA (3.73 FIP) in 12 appearances -- eight starts -- for the Cardinals in 2013, striking out 43 batters in 53 innings.

Justin Marks - S - Royals

Royals recalled LHP Justin Marks from Triple-A Omaha.

Marks posted a 3.24 ERA with eight strikeouts over his first 8 1/3 relief innings for Omaha. He'll work in middle relief.

Will Middlebrooks - 3B - Red Sox

Will Middlebrooks (calf) has been sent back to Boston with the flu.

There was some speculation that Middlebrooks could be ready for a minor league rehab assignment this weekend or early next week, but it's unclear whether the flu will delay things. The 25-year-old is currently working his way back from a calf strain.

Shane Victorino - OF - Red Sox

Shane Victorino (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Pawtucket.

Victorino was originally scheduled to begin his rehab assignment earlier, but inclement weather got in the way. The plan calls for him to play Saturday before getting the day off. He'll then play back-to-back games on Monday and Tuesday, setting up a return on Thursday. The veteran outfielder was forced to begin the year on the DL with a hamstring strain.

Josh Johnson - S - Padres

Josh Johnson (forearm) will see Dr. James Andrews next week.

This confirms a report from Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports, who also added that the Padres are worried that Johnson might require season-ending Tommy John surgery. Padres manager Bud Black said that Andrews "will look at everything," so he didn't exactly rule out the possibility.

Ryan Jackson - SS - Padres

Padres minor league infielder Ryan Jackson has been diagnosed with right wrist inflammation.

The wrist has been bothering him since spring training and he finally had to shut things down this week. No word yet on how long he'll be sidelined.

Lorenzo Cain - OF - Royals

Royals placed OF Lorenzo Cain on the 15-day disabled list with a left groin strain.

It's not a big surprise, as Cain left Wednesday's game against the Astros with a Grade 1 groin strain. He's hoping to return in two weeks, but won't rush things. Jarrod Dyson should see and uptick in playing time during his absence and is worth picking up for fantasy owners who need speed.
Apr 17 - 5:35 PM
Max Fried - S - Padres

Padres prospect left-hander Max Fried (forearm) has advanced to throwing from a distance of 150 feet.

Fried was shut down in February due to forearm soreness, but he is making steady progress. The plan calls for him to begin throwing bullpen sessions next week. If all goes well, the 20-year-old will be able to join High-A Lake Elsinore by early-to-mid May.
