    • Cody Bradford (rib) diagnosed with stress fracture
      Rangers’ manager Bruce Bochy told reporters on Friday that Cody Bradford has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his rib.

      Advice: That explains why the 26-year-old southpaw hasn’t progressed as quickly as the Rangers had hoped in his recovery from a sore lower back. He’s expected to miss at least a month’s worth of action. By the time he’s ready to return, it seems unlikely that there will be a spot for him in the Rangers’ rotation if everyone else is able to stay healthy. Rotoworld Today, 2:23 pm

    • Managing rib stress fracture
      Bradford (back) was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his rib Friday and is expected to be sidelined for about a month, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: The left-hander wasn't progressing as expected in his recovery after landing on the shelf April 14 with lower-back soreness, and a rib stress fracture is the apparent culprit. Bradford will now be sidelined through at least late May, and a more specific timeline should come into focus as he ramps up his rehab work. Rotowire.com Today, 2:16 pm

    • Moves to injured list
      The Marlins placed Luzardo on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to April 23, with left elbow tightness.

      Advice: The left-hander was scratched from Friday's start against Washington due to the injury and will now be sidelined for at least the next couple weeks. According to Christina De Nicola of MLB.com, Luzardo first felt the elbow issue while playing catch Thursday and believes it shouldn't be a lengthy absence, though he's also awaiting test results that should provide more clarity on the injury.

    • Marlins place Jesús Luzardo (elbow) on 15-day IL
      Marlins placed LHP Jesús Luzardo on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 23, with left elbow tightness.

      Advice: No surprise here. Luzardo was supposed to make a start against the Nationals on Friday, but he was scratched due to elbow discomfort and now he’ll be sidelined for at least the next two weeks. The 26-year-old said he felt the discomfort while playing catch on Thursday and feels an IL stint is more precautionary than anything else. The team is awaiting more test results, but the hope is that he only has to miss one to two starts. Rotoworld Today, 12:02 pm
       
    • Scratched due to sore elbow
      Luzardo has been scratched from Friday's scheduled outing against the Nationals due to left elbow soreness.

      Advice: Luzardo felt soreness in his pitching elbow Thursday and is set to undergo further testing. It's yet another blow to a Marlins pitching staff that's sustained plenty of them early on this season. Anthony Maldonado will be called up from Triple-A Jacksonville to work as the opener Friday in a bullpen game for Miami. Luzardo has had an uneven 2024 season, collecting a 6.58 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB over 26 innings covering his first five starts. Rotowire.com Today, 7:26 am
       
    • Jesús Luzardo (elbow) scratched from Friday start
      Jesús Luzardo (elbow) was scratched from Friday’s start against the Nationals.

      Advice: Not good. The team said Luzardo will undergo testing for discomfort to his elbow and this more than likely means the 26-year-old will be placed on the injured list in the near future. This adds to the multitude of injuries for Miami’s pitching rotation, with the likes of Sandy Alcantara and Eury Perez both out for the season and Braxton Garrett already on the injured list.

    • Reaches three times, swipes base
      Betts went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, a run and a stolen base against the Nationals in Thursday's 2-1 victory.

      Advice: Betts scored the decisive run in the contest by walking, swiping second base and crossing the plate on a Freddie Freeman double in the eighth inning. Betts seems to be running more frequently so far this season -- the stolen base was his sixth of the campaign through 27 contests, putting him well on pace to reach 20 steals for the first time since 2018. That has to be sweet music to his fantasy managers' ears, and Betts is paying huge dividends in other areas as well, slashing .374/.477/.636 with six homers, 21 RBI and 27 runs.

    • Goes deep in victory
      Hernandez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a 2-1 win over Washington.

      Advice: Hernandez's second-inning solo shot put the Dodgers on the board and amounted for half of the team's total output of runs in the low-scoring win. The long ball was the slugger's sixth of the campaign and his first over his past 11 contests. Hernandez has trailed off a bit of late after a strong start to his Dodgers tenure, but he still ranks second on the team and is tied for 11th in the majors with 20 RBI.

    • Slugs third homer in loss
      Profar went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, two total runs, three total RBI and a walk in a loss to the Rockies on Thursday.

      Advice: Profar plated San Diego's second run of the contest with a single in the third inning and tacked on a two-run homer in the seventh. The big performance lifted his season slash line to .295/.406/.466. Profar ranks third on the Padres with 26 hits and leads the club with 18 RBI. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:08 pm
