  • Mariners calling Bryan Woo’s exit precautionary
    The Mariners announced the Bryan Woo’s exit from Friday’s start against the Athletics was precautionary.

    Advice: That’s as far as the information went in the update. No word on what exactly occurred or if Woo might need to miss any additional time. It’s good to see that they’re taking every possible precaution with the 24-year-old hurler though. Expect the Mariners to provide another update on Woo’s status on Saturday. Rotoworld 4 minutes ago

  • Cursed by long ball
    Quintana (1-4) yielded four runs on six hits and two walks over five innings Friday, striking out three and taking a loss against Atlanta.

    Advice: All four runs against Quintana came in the third inning when he coughed up three homers. Prior to Friday's outing, he'd allowed just three home runs through 36.1 innings this season. Quintana's ERA has jumped from 3.48 to 5.44 after giving up 12 runs in his last two appearances. His next start is lined up to be in Philadelphia next week. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Cole Irvin downs Diamondbacks, improves to 4-1
    Cole Irvin threw 5 2/3 innings and allowed two runs Friday in the Orioles’ 4-2 victory over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Irvin got the win and moved to 4-1 with a 2.90 ERA. He wasn’t supposed to still be in the Orioles rotation with Kyle Bradish and John Means back, but the Grayson Rodriguez and Tyler Wells injuries changed things, and Irvin is making a case to stick after Rodriguez returns. The Orioles might go to a six-man rotation for a time in order to lighten the load. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago

  • Craig Kimbrel pitches perfect seventh for hold
    Craig Kimbrel protected a one-run lead in the seventh inning Friday against the Diamondbacks, striking out one in a perfect inning.

    Advice: This wasn’t exactly a low-pressure situation for the struggling Kimbrel, but the Orioles did manage to get him in against the bottom of the Arizona lineup. Kimbrel retired Blaze Alexander, Kevin Newman and then leadoff man Ketel Marte in order. One or two more similar outings might get him another chance in the ninth. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
     
  • Yennier Cano records second save versus D-backs
    Yennier Cano got his second save Friday after working a scoreless ninth versus the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: The Orioles are giving Craig Kimbrel a break, so Cano is the clear favorite for saves in the pen for the short term. If Kimbrel has any meltdowns in the near future, Cano might take on the closer’s role permanently. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
     
  • Brandon Pfaadt goes without a strikeout in loss
    Brandon Pfaadt dropped to 1-3 after allowing three runs in six innings Friday against the Orioles.

    Advice: Pfaadt managed to turn in a solid outing despite going without a strikeout tonight. He had never fanned fewer than three batters in 26 major league starts. Pfaadt’s ERA stands at 4.60. His 42/8 K/BB ratio in 47 innings is nice, but he’s looking a little too hittable with his velocity down one mph from last year. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
     
  • Blaze Alexander finishes 0-for-4 against Orioles
    Blaze Alexander went 0-for-4 and struck out twice against the Orioles on Friday.

    Advice: Alexander has been taking a backseat to the steadier glove of Kevin Newman now that he’s cooled off at the plate, and the start today was his second in Arizona’s last five games. He’s gone hitless in his last four appearances in the lineup, and his OPS has dropped from 1.000 on Apr. 19 to .803 currently. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
     
  • Austin Slater leaves game with apparent injury
    Austin Slater was removed from Friday night’s game against the Reds with an apparent arm injury.

    Advice: Slater sustained the injury when he crashed into the outfield wall during the first inning on Friday. He remained in the game until his spot in the order came around to hit, where Michael Conforto pinch-hit for him. Presumably he’ll head for X-rays to see if there’s any structural damage. Expect the Giants to update his status after the game. Rotoworld 8 minutes ago
     
  • Notches 10th save
    Iglesias allowed a run on a hit and a walk over one inning Friday. He earned a save over the Mets.

    Advice: Iglesias coughed up an RBI single to Pete Alonso with two outs in the ninth but was able to close out the 4-2 victory. Iglesias has now converted 10 of his 12 save chances this year while posting a 10:4 K:BB through 15.1 innings. Friday was the first time he allowed an earned run since April 24 and he still owns a strong 2.25 ERA. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
