Mike Trout and Logan O'Hoppe Angels

Trout underwent successful surgery on Friday to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. Angels general manager Perry Minasian didn't give a timetable for Trout's return to the lineup, but typically, an injury like this requires four to eight weeks of rehab.

Nick Pivetta and Masataka Yoshida, Red Sox

Pivetta (right elbow flexor strain) made a rehab appearance for Triple-A Worcester on Thursday, going three innings over which he gave up three hits and walked four batters.

Miller (right shoulder inflammation) threw a bullpen session on Friday, his first since being injured.

According to manager Dave Roberts, once Miller starts facing live hitters, his progression toward a return could speed up.

Treinen (bruised lung) pitched for the second consecutive night with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, marking the final step in his rehab. He could be activated off the injured list as soon as this weekend.

Kershaw returned to Dodger Stadium on Friday and threw his first bullpen session since undergoing left shoulder surgery. The club hopes he'll be ready to go after the All-Star break.

Jacob Young, Nationals

Young exited Friday's game against the Blue Jays in the fifth inning due to back spasms. The Nats held him out of the lineup Saturday, but he was available off the bench, manager Dave Martinez said. More >
