    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (hamstring) could be available to pinch-hit during Friday night’s contest against the Phillies.

    The 27-year-old slugger did some pregame work on Friday and reported feeling much improved. The expectation is that he’ll rejoin the Blue Jays’ lineup on Saturday.

    Carlos Rodón allowed three runs and struck out four in 2 2/3 innings in his first rehab start with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday.

    Rodón’s velocity was down two mph on his fastball and three mph on his slider today, so that’s something to watch. He’ll definitely make at least one more rehab start before returning from elbow inflammation.

    Adley Rutschman, on the IL with wrist inflammation, doubled and walked twice in his first rehab game with Triple-A Worcester on Saturday.

    Rutschman caught five innings today.

    The double was hit 104 mph off Lee Trivino. Worcester ended up beating Lehigh Valley 19-0, so the Rutschman acquisition is already paying off for Boston. It’s unclear if he’ll play again tomorrow.

    Rangers released RHP Chris Martin.

    Martin has almost always been effective when healthy, but that stopped at age 40 this year, as he gave up 14 earned runs in 14 innings for the Rangers. Still, given that his velocity hasn’t changed much, we’re guessing he’ll be offered minor league deals by a bunch of contenders.

    Shohei Ohtani played catch in the outfield prior to Saturday’s game against the D-backs.

    It’s been 2 1/2 weeks since Ohtani was last known to have thrown. It’s doubtful he’ll be back on the major league mound before Sept. 1 as he recovers from left knee and right biceps issues, but he is in the Dodgers lineup as a DH tonight.

    Walbert Ureña allowed four runs with two strikeouts over 2 1/3 innings in a loss against the Marlins on Saturday.

    Ureña pitched two quiet innings against the Marlins before completely losing it in the third. A base hit and two walks loaded the bases for Xavier Edwards, who doubled to drive in two runs. Another walk loaded the bases again before Otto Lopez drove in two more runs on a single. That would do it for Ureña, ending his day with one out in the third inning. The 22-year-old right-hander will take a 2.83 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and a 97/55 K/BB ratio across 101 2/3 innings into a start against the Rangers in Anaheim on Thursday.
