Herz will receive a second opinion on his injured left elbow from Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Herz has been diagnosed with a sprained UCL, and he will determine after his visit with Dr. Meister whether to undergo surgery or attempt to rest and rehab the injury. If the southpaw does go under the knife, he could be sidelined until around the middle of next season.

Kopech (shoulder) said Thursday that he feels food and is ramping back up his throwing program, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

The forearm issue Kopech came into camp with felt good early on in spring training, but he developed a shoulder problem because he ramped up his throwing too quickly, which sent him to the injured list. He also was delayed at one point due to a stomach bug. Kopech appears to be getting back on track now, but there's no timetable for his return.

Suarez (back) will throw a 25-pitch bullpen session Saturday, Lochlahn March of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Suarez will throw off the bump for the first time since he developed lower-back stiffness following an intrasquad appearance in mid-March. The lefty will continue to build up as his health allows, with a return from the injured list before the end of April possible if all goes well. Taijuan Walker will hold down a spot in the Phillies rotation until Suarez is cleared to make his 2025 debut.

The Dodgers transferred Sheehan (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Thursday.

The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Noah Davis. Sheehan will be sidelined until around midseason as he continues his rehab from an internal brace procedure.

The Dodgers acquired Davis from the Red Sox on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations, selected his contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City and optioned him to Oklahoma City.

Davis exercised the upward mobility clause in his minor-league deal with the Red Sox and will now join the Dodgers' 40-man roster. The 27-year-old has a career 7.71 ERA over 17 appearances at the big-league level, but the Dodgers see potential in the righty.

The Mets placed Manaea on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a right oblique strain, Michael Mayer of MetsmerizedOnline.com reports.

Manaea injured his oblique in late February and began a throwing progression in mid-March. There's no timetable yet for his return, but it's possible he is back before the end of April.

The Brewers placed Ashby (oblique) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

Ashby sustained a right oblique strain March 3 and wasn't able to bounce back from the injury as quickly as the Brewers had hoped, which will result in him opening the season on the shelf. The southpaw wasn't expected to resume his throwing program until this week, and since he's likely to be stretched out as a starter, he could be a month or longer away from being ready to return from the IL. Ashby has a minor-league option remaining, so the Brewers could send him to Triple-A Nashville if the big club doesn't have a spot for him in the rotation by the time he's activated.

The Brewers placed Myers (oblique) on the 15-day injured list Thursday.

Per MLB.com, Myers has resumed a throwing program and completed a bullpen session earlier this week since sustaining a left oblique strain in his final Cactus League start March 15. Before he's activated from the IL, Myers will likely need to complete a few more side sessions, face hitters in live batting practice and then embark on a minor-league rehab assignment. The Brewers are hopeful that the right-hander will be ready to make his season debut around mid-April.

The Brewers placed Woodruff on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to recovery from right shoulder surgery, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Woodruff's progression from shoulder surgery has gone well lately, as he saw some game action in spring training and could be ready for a rehab assignment in the not-too-distant future. The Brewers haven't provided a timetable for when the right-hander will be ready to return from the IL for his 2025 debut.

The Brewers optioned Quintana to Triple-A Nashville on Thursday.

Quintana agreed to be optioned to the minors so that he could continue to get stretched out after he was unsigned throughout the offseason before reaching a one-year deal with Milwaukee on March 5. The veteran southpaw built up to three innings and 37 pitches in his final Cactus League outing March 22, so he may need just a couple of starts in the minors before the Brewers deem him ready to join the big-league rotation.
