  • X-rays negative
    X-rays on Vasquez's right forearm came back negative after he was removed from Friday's game versus Boston, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: A 98-mph line drive off the bat of Ceddanne Rafaela struck Vasquez's arm in the fifth inning, forcing him to leave the game after four-plus innings of one-run ball. The 25-year-old said after the game that he's dealing with a bit of swelling, but he seemed optimistic about his chances to make his next start. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:59 pm
     
  • Randy Vásquez diagnosed with forearm contusion
    Randy Vásquez was diagnosed with right forearm contusion after being hit by a line drive during Friday night’s start against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Fortunately, it sounds like the 25-year-old hurler was able to avoid any serious injury after being struck by a Ceddanne Rafaela line drive to open the fifth inning on Friday. Unfortunately, his early exit from the game did cost him a victory. He should be able to make his next scheduled turn in the Padres’ rotation on Thursday against the Rangers in Texas.

  • Struck by comebacker, exits early
    Vasquez was removed from his start Friday against the Red Sox after getting hit in the right forearm by a comebacker, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Vasquez took a 98 mph line drive off his forearm during the fifth inning of Friday's contest, and he was taken out of the game after conferring with a trainer. He'll be sent for imaging, and the Padres should have an update on the severity of his injury in the near future. The 25-year-old righty had allowed one earned run on five hits and a walk while striking out one batter over four innings before being taken out of the game. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:17 pm
     
  • Randy Vasquez exits start after being hit by liner
    Randy Vasquez was removed from Friday night’s start against the Red Sox after being hit in the forearm by a line drive.

    Advice: The batted ball came from Ceddanne Rafaela leading off the fifth inning. Vasquez had allowed just one run on five hits and a walk through his four innings of work while striking out one. It’s a tough break for fantasy managers, as Vasquez had a 9-1 advantage in the ballgame and looked poised to secure a victory in the start. He’ll presumably head for X-rays to rule out any potential fractures and the Padres should have an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Friday, 5:54 pm
     
  • Throwing off mound Saturday
    Speier (shoulder) is set to throw off a mound Saturday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    Advice: Speier will pitch off a mound for the first time since being being placed on the IL on June 1, marking a significant step in his recovery from a shoulder strain. He'll likely need to complete a few bullpen sessions before being sent on a minor-league rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Friday, 4:52 pm
     
  • Set for rehab outing Sunday
    Minter (hip) is scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Sunday's appearance could be Minter's last before being activated from the 15-day injured list. While he's allowed two runs (one earned) across two minor-league innings, he's only surrendered one hit. Prior to being placed on the IL, Minter turned in a 2.95 ERA and a 23:6 K:BB across 21.1 innings with Atlanta. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:33 pm
     
  • Orioles place Corbin Burnes on paternity list
    Orioles placed RHP Corbin Burnes on the paternity list.

    Advice: All this meant is that the Orioles will benefit from having an extra reliever for the next two or three days. Burnes defeated the Rangers last night and isn’t slated to make his next start until Wednesday. Rotoworld Friday, 11:20 am
     
  • Orioles recall LHP Matt Krook
    Orioles recalled LHP Matt Krook from Triple-A Norfolk.

    Advice: If he pitches, Krook will be making his Orioles debut, and hopefully he’ll get to lower his 24.75 career ERA that he accrued in four appearances with the Yankees last year. He had a 3.71 ERA and a 31/17 K/BB in 26 2/3 innings for Norfolk. Rotoworld Friday, 11:18 am
     
  • Summoned from Triple-A
    The Orioles recalled Krook from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

    Advice: Krook will supply some short-term depth for the Orioles' bullpen with Corbin Burnes hitting the paternity list. Krook hasn't appeared in an MLB game this season and owns a 3.71 ERA across 26.2 innings with Norfolk in 2024. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:16 am
