After throwing 25 pitches in a simulated game Monday, Brandon Woodruff said he wasn’t sure whether he was in line for Opening Day.

Woodruff said he had a normal offseason while waiting for his lat strain to heal, but that it was still decided to bring him along a little slowly this spring. He threw 25 pitchers to hitters today, which is basically what the rest of the league’s starters are doing in game action, so he doesn’t seem far behind. He did indicate that he was likely in line for one more sim game before pitching in a spring game.

Rays designated RHP Jake Woodford for assignment.

Woodford was with the Rays for just one day. The 29-year-old now will hit the waiver wire, and with only three days left in the season, it’s hard to imagine there will be a claim. He’ll be a free agent at the end of the year.

Ray Kerr will get the start against the Marlins on Friday.

Kerr will be on the bump and likely go around three innings before giving way to a reliever. He’s done a nice job since being promoted in August with a 1.76 ERA, but seems likely to give way to the bullpen before he’d be eligible for a win.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters that Ryan Weathers (forearm) looked healthy in his live bullpen session Friday.

Boone reported that Weathers was up to 96 mph with his heater in the session. The left-hander’s regular season is over, but could be an option for the Yankees in the playoffs. Boone wasn’t ready to commit to Weathers being an option for the Wild Card round, but if he’s not, he could be available for the ALDS should the Yankees advance.

Rodriguez will likely get the start Sunday as the Yankees will have nothing to play for in that contest. The 23-year-old is one of the better prospects in the system and has some long-term upside, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere for an option in that game against Baltimore.
