Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Yu Darvish (triceps) played catch on Wednesday for the second straight day. Darvish still remains with no timetable to return, but it is a good sign to see him throwing.

Carlos Rodon Expected To Return This Weekend

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (shoulder) is with the White Sox in Minnesota and is expected to return to the team this weekend versus the Red Sox.

Mac Williamson Sitting On Monday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mac Williamson will rest Monday evening versus the Diamondbacks. Williamson is hitting .226 with no home runs since his return from the disabled list.

Matt Davidson Activated From Disabled List On Monday

Chicago White Sox designated hitter Matt Davidson (back) has been activated from the disabled list on Monday. Davidson missed the minimum amount of time with back tightness.

Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (shoulder) performed well in his fourth rehab start on Sunday.
