  • Serving as opener Tuesday
    Rodriguez will serve as the Giants' opening pitcher for Tuesday's game versus the Cubs, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Rodriguez has recorded at least five outs in 10 of his 18 appearances, so he should be capable of going at least a couple innings Tuesday. The Giants are opting for a second straight bullpen game after Erik Miller opened Monday's 5-4 win. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:05 pm
     
  • Randy Rodriguez opening for Giants on Tuesday
    Randy Rodriguez will start Tuesday’s game against the Cubs.

    Advice: Rodriguez will be the opener for Tuesday’s tilt, but won’t be able to get deep enough to qualify for a decision. The 24-year-old is not a streaming option in this role. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:58 am
     
  • Recalled, starting Tuesday
    The Padres recalled Mazur from Triple-A El Paso on Monday.

    Advice: Mazur looked to be on his way out of the San Diego rotation after being optioned to Triple-A after he was lit up for three runs over 4.2 innings in a no-decision this past Friday against the Brewers, but he'll get at least one more start while Yu Darvish's (groin) return from the 15-day injured list will be delayed due to right elbow inflammation, per Dennis Lin of The Athletic. Over his four starts with San Diego this season, the rookie has gone 0-2 with a 7.27 ERA, 1.96 WHIP and 11:16 K:BB in 17.1 innings, numbers that make him an untrustworthy fantasy option.

  • Padres recall Adam Mazur to start Tuesday
    Padres recalled RHP Adam Mazur from Triple-A El Paso.

    Advice: The Padres are taking advantage of the Fernando Tatis Jr. injury to recall Mazur just three days after demoting him. He’ll start Tuesday against the Nationals, since Yu Darvish isn’t yet ready to go. Rotoworld Monday, 3:49 pm
     
  • Padres option Adam Mazur to Triple-A El Paso
    Padres optioned RHP Adam Mazur to Triple-A EL Paso.

    Advice: With Yu Darvish expected to return from the injured list next week, Mazur’s time in the rotation was coming to an end, so they’ll option him out now in order to get a fresh arm in their bullpen for the weekend. The 23-year-old hurler went 0-2 with a 7.27 ERA, 1.96 WHIP and a cringe-inducing 11/16 K/BB ratio over 17 1/3 innings in his first four big-league starts. Rotoworld Friday, 3:32 pm
     
  • Headed back to minors
    The Padres optioned Mazur to Triple-A El Paso following Thursday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: The move corresponds with southpaw Tom Cosgrove being recalled from Triple-A El Paso. Mazur was called up to the Padres' rotation June 4 due to Yu Darvish (groin) landing on the injured list. Over his four major-league starts, Mazur has an 0-2 record with a 7.27 ERA and 1.96 WHIP, and he has failed to make it through five innings over his last three starts. The 23-year-old right-hander hasn't had it much better in Triple-A this year, posting a 7.11 ERA and 1.32 WHIP over 19 innings. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:43 pm
     
  • Allows three runs in no-decision
    Mazur did not factor into the decision in a win over the Brewers on Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

    Advice: Mazur allowed one run in the first inning after surrendering a leadoff double to Brice Turang to open the contest, but the right-hander was able to keep the Brewers' offense at bay over the next three frames as San Diego took a 4-1 lead. The 23-year-old's luck would run out in the fifth, however, when Willy Adames chased him from the game with a two-run shot. Mazur has now failed to make it through five innings in each of his last three starts, allowing 13 runs over that stretch while posting a putrid 9:12 K:BB. He's likely to be pushed out of the rotation as soon as Yu Darvish (groin) returns. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:05 am
     
  • Allows three homers in no-decision
    Wilson did not factor into the decision in Thursday's loss to the Padres, allowing five runs on seven hits and two walks over 4.2 innings while striking out five.

    Advice: Wilson failed to retire five of the first seven batters he faced to open the contest, surrendering back-to-back homers to Manny Machado and Jackson Merrill in the first to put the Brewers in an early 4-1 hole. The right-hander would settle in over the next three frames before coughing up another long ball in the fifth. It was Wilson's first time this season in which he allowed multiple home runs in a start and he's given up at least five runs in two of his last three outings. He's also walked multiple batters in three consecutive starts. Rotowire.com Friday, 5:32 am
     
  • Posts quality start Thursday
    Spence allowed two runs on six hits and one walk while striking out seven batters over six innings in a no-decision against Kansas City on Thursday.

    Advice: Spence was victimized by Kansas City catcher Freddy Fermin, who who belted a pair of solo homers against him. However, Spence fared well against the remainder of the Royals lineup and finished with his second quality start of the campaign despite the two long balls he surrendered. Spence's seven strikeouts Thursday were a career-best mark and well above his season norm -- he entered the contest with either three of four punchouts in each of his previous six outings.
