  • Griffin Canning holds Cardinals to one run in win
    Griffin Canning tossed six innings of one-run ball with five strikeouts in a win over the Cardinals on Wednesday.

    Advice: Canning put together another excellent outing on Wednesday, holding the Cardinals to one run over six frames. The one run would score on a solo homer by Paul Goldschmidt in the sixth inning. Canning scattered four other hits and three walks while striking out five. The 28-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 5.21 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and a 34/18 K/BB ratio across 46 2/3 innings. He lines up for a start against the Astros in Houston on Tuesday.

  • Lance Lynn allows four runs in loss to Angels
    Lance Lynn allowed four runs with five strikeouts over five innings in a loss to the Angels on Wednesday.

    Advice: The Angels got to Lynn in the first inning. He served up a leadoff homer to Nolan Schanuel before three hits and a wild pitch brought three more runs in to score in the opening frame. Lynn would settle in to toss four more scoreless innings before his day was done. The 37-year-old right-hander will take a 4.17 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, and a 43/20 K/BB ratio across 45 1/3 innings into a start against the Orioles in St. Louis on Tuesday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:21 pm
     
  • Logan Webb shuts down Dodgers over six in win
    Logan Webb tossed sixth scoreless innings with five strikeouts in a win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.

    Advice: Webb worked around some trouble to start the game, loading the bases with one out in the first inning. He struck out a batter for the second out and escaped the jam with a line out to right field. Webb scattered two walks and two hits over five more scoreless frames, striking out five on the day. The 27-year-old right-hander will take a 3.03 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and a 47/17 K/BB ratio across 59 1/3 innings into a start against the Pirates in Pittsburgh next Wednesday.

  • Elieser Hernández tosses quality start against Giants
    Elieser Hernández allowed three runs with three strikeouts over six innings in a loss to the Giants on Wednesday.

    Advice: Hernández was solid in his first major league start since 2022, tossing a quality start in San Francisco. He surrendered a two-run homer to Mike Yastrzemski in the third inning, then gave up a run on a base hit and a double in the sixth. With no off days for another week, a second start could come next Tuesday against the Diamondbacks in Los Angeles. Otherwise, he’ll likely retreat to Triple-A to continue working as a starter.

  • Struggles in spot start
    Lucchesi (0-1) took the loss against Philadelphia on Wednesday, allowing five runs on five hits and four walks while striking out two batters over 4.1 innings.

    Advice: It certainly wasn't an ideal matchup for Lucchesi to make his first start of the season, and he didn't do himself any favors in issuing four free passes. Three of the walks came in the fifth frame, and all three of the recipients came around to score. The left-hander was also tormented by Bryce Harper, who hit a solo homer against him in the first inning and then sent him to the showers with a two-run double in the fifth. Lucchesi may return to the minors in short order with Tylor Megill (shoulder) expected to rejoin New York's rotation Sunday or Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:10 pm
     
  • Aaron Brooks goes seven innings in loss to Astros
    Aaron Brooks allowed three runs with five strikeouts over seven innings in a loss to the Astros on Wednesday.

    Advice: Brooks was recalled for his first major league start on Wednesday. A single, double, and a sacrifice fly would bring two runs in for Houston in the first inning. The Astros would bring one more run in to score on two hits in the fourth. Brooks settled in to toss three more scoreless frames, striking out five over his seven innings of work. The 34-year-old right-hander should remain in the rotation with Alex Wood on the injured list. He lines up for a start against the Rockies in Oakland on Tuesday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:20 pm
     
  • Joey Lucchesi falls apart in Philadelphia
    Joey Lucchesi allowed five earned runs on five hits in 4 ⅓ innings in a loss Wednesday in Philadelphia. He also walked four and struck out just two.

    Advice: Lucchesi was recalled for the spot-start in this one as the Mets transitioned to a six-man rotation. He was cruising until a disastrous fifth inning in which he walked three before the Phillies opened the flood gates. It’s unlikely Lucchesi gets another turn in the rotation after this start with Tylor Megill due back soon and Adrian Houser supposedly returning to a starting role. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:45 pm
     
  • Promoted, starting Wednesday
    The Dodgers selected Hernandez's contract from Triple-A Oklahoma City, and he's starting Wednesday's game against the Giants, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The right-hander signed with the Dodgers as a non-roster invitee during the offseason and will now receive his first look with the big-league club. Hernandez has covered at least five frames in each of his previous five starts at Triple-A and posted a 2.45 ERA during that stretch, but he may not last that long Wednesday with Los Angeles expected to have a bullpen game. Ryan Yarbrough and Eduardo Salazar -- who was promoted Wednesday -- are also in the mix to see bulk innings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:54 pm
     
  • Dodgers promote Elieser Hernández from Triple-A
    Dodgers selected the contract of RHP Elieser Hernández from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: Hernández, 29, will add depth and length to the Dodgers’ bullpen as they’re rolling with a bullpen game against the Giants on Wednesday evening in San Francisco. He has posted a strong 2.83 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and a 34/8 K/BB ratio across 28 2/3 frames at Triple-A Oklahoma City to begin the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:47 pm
