    • Next start coming Sunday
      Mazur is scheduled to start Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks at Petco Park, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

      Advice: With Joe Musgrove (elbow) and Yu Darvish (groin) both landing on the injured list over the weekend, Randy Vasquez and Mazur were summoned from Triple-A El Paso to fill the two openings in the rotation. Mazur made his first MLB start Tuesday and held his own in a no-decision against the Angels, covering six innings and striking out two while allowing one run on two hits and four walks. The 23-year-old righty should stick around with the big club until the Friars get at least one of Musgrove or Darvish back from the IL. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
       
    • Drawing another start
      Cecconi is slated to start Thursday's game against the Padres at Petco Park, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

      Advice: While entering the rotation last Saturday as a replacement for Zac Gallen (hamstring), Cecconi took a no-decision in the Diamondbacks' 10-5 win over the Mets while striking out four over 4.2 innings of one-run ball. The performance was good enough to earn Cecconi at least one more turn through the rotation while the Diamondbacks wait for one of Gallen, Merrill Kelly (shoulder) or Eduardo Rodriguez (shoulder) to return from the injured list.

    • Remains in rotation
      Vasquez is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks at Petco Park, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

      Advice: Neither Yu Darvish (groin) nor Joe Musgrove (elbow) is eligible to return from the 15-day injured list until next weekend, so Vasquez will unsurprisingly stick around in the San Diego rotation for another turn. After being called up from Triple-A El Paso, Vasquez started in last Saturday's win over the Royals, giving up three runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five in five innings. He maintains a 5.74 ERA and 1.61 WHIP over 26.2 innings in six starts for the big club on the season. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
       
    • Miles Mikolas allows two homers in win over Astros
      Miles Mikolas allowed two runs over six innings on Wednesday in a win over the Astros.

      Advice: Mikolas struck out three and didn’t hand out a free pass, limiting Houston’s injury-depleted lineup, which was missing both Kyle Tucker (shin) and Alex Bregman (hand) to just five hits with homers from Yainer Diaz and Trey Cabbage accounting for the only damage against him in this one. The 35-year-old veteran right-hander will bring an inflated 5.32 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 53/14 K/BB ratio across 71 innings (13 starts) into a home outing on Tuesday against the Pirates.

    • Nick Pivetta delivers gem in 9-0 win over Braves
      Nick Pivetta allowed only one hit over seven innings Wednesday as the Red Sox shut out the Braves 9-0.

      Advice: Pivetta fanned nine and walked two in his longest outing of the year. In eight starts this season, he’s been great three times, good three times and bad twice, which probably should have produced something better than a 3-4 record. He might be more valuable for fantasy purposes in the second half of the season, as the Red Sox will likely cash him in before he hits free agency. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago

    • Spencer Schwellenbach roughed up by Red Sox
      Spencer Schwellenbach surrendered six runs in 4 2/3 innings Wednesday in a loss to the Red Sox.

      Advice: Schwellenbach got 15 missed swings on the 85 pitches he threw, but 10 of his 17 balls in play were hit hard, resulting in seven hits. He’s 0-2 with an 8.38 ERA after two starts, so one wonders if he might head back to the minors. If the Braves stick with him, he’d face the Orioles next week. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
       
    • Headed for second opinion
      Gasser is traveling to Los Angeles to receive a second opinion on his injured left elbow from Dr. Neal ElAttrache, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

      Advice: Gasser was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with a left flexor strain, but the pitcher and the Brewers are still trying to get a better handle on his diagnosis and treatment options. More information on a potential timetable for Gasser could be available later this week. Rotowire.com Today, 11:55 am
       
    • Mets shift Fujinami to 60-day IL
      Mets transferred RHP Shintaro Fujinami from the 15-day to the 60-day injured list.

      Advice: The move opens up a 40-man roster spot for Joe Hudson. Fujinami, who struggled mightily for Triple-A Syracuse at the beginning of the season, has been sidelined since May 3 with a shoulder strain. Rotoworld Today, 11:51 am
       
    • DL Hall getting additional opinion on knee
      DL Hall is going to California for a second opinion on his ailing knee.

      Advice: Hall will be examined by Dr. Neal ElAttrache. That’s typically a reason for pessimism, but the Brewers seem encouraged that Hall’s knee is getting better. He’s been sidelined since late April with what was described as a sprain. Rotoworld Today, 11:45 am
