Player News
Justin Verlander (pectoral) will throw a bullpen session on Wednesday.
Verlander faced hitters on Friday in a roughly 35-pitch simulated game and appears on track to rejoin San Francisco’s rotation at some point soon. The club has had the luxury to avoid rushing him back with lefty Kyle Harrison pitching well, but they’ll likely have a tough decision to make in the coming days.
Jordan Hicks (toe) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Tuesday.
Hicks doesn’t appear to be facing a lengthy absence after landing on the shelf last week with right toe inflammation. It’s possible he’ll be ready to rejoin San Francisco’s bullpen mix without a rehab assignment.
Kyle Teel is at catcher and batting sixth on Tuesday against the Astros.
Teel is hitting .375 (3-for-8) through three games since being called up last week from Triple-A Charlotte. The 23-year-old top prospect figures to play virtually everyday for the rebuilding White Sox, spending time at DH in addition to splitting the catching duties with fellow rookie Edgar Quero.
Spencer Arrighetti (thumb) will progress to throwing a bullpen session next week.
Arrighetti suffered a fractured thumb during a freak accident during on-field batting practice back in early April and could return to Houston’s injury-ravaged rotation at some point in the next few weeks. The 25-year-old righty is going to need a handful of rehab outings to build up his pitch count and stamina, but there’s a chance he’s back at some point in July.
Jordan Westburg is at third base and batting sixth on Tuesday against the Tigers in his return to the lineup.
Westburg is back in Baltimore’s lineup for the first time since late April when he suffered a left hamstring strain. Cedric Mullins is at DH and batting ninth in his return to the lineup on Tuesday night. The versatile 26-year-old infielder is expected to serve as the Orioles’ primary option at the hot corner moving forward with top prospect Coby Mayo shifting over to first base permanently.
Jung Hoo Lee (back) is in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Rockies.
It’s an encouraging sign that Lee is feeling ready to go after sitting out a pair of contest against Atlanta over the weekend due to back tightness. He’s in center field and leading off on Tuesday night against Rockies rookie lefty Carson Palmquist.
