  • Martín Pérez hammered by Braves
    Martín Pérez allowed six earned runs in four innings of work Friday against the Braves. He struck out four and walked two in a loss.

    Advice: Atlanta put up five of their six runs against Pérez in a loud third inning that included two doubles, three singles, and two walks. His usual pitch-to-contact plan fueled by sinkers and cutters did not work against the Braves’ suddenly surging lineup. Rotoworld Today, 7:08 pm
     
  • Albert Suárez scoreless over six innings in win
    Albert Suárez shut the Rangers out over six innings on Friday. He struck out two and walked none in a 2-1 win for the Orioles.

    Advice: This was Suárez’s first quality start of the season. In fact, it was the first time he completed six innings. He didn’t have great swing and miss stuff or command of his off-speed pitches, but filled up the zone with his fastball and forced the Rangers into plenty of lazy fly balls. It’s hard to get very excited about him until we see more consistent strikeout totals. He has just 21 punch outs in 25 innings this month. Rotoworld Today, 6:45 pm

  • Randy Vasquez diagnosed with forearm contusion
    Randy Vasquez 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 head into the clubhouse for imaging, and the Padres should have an update on the severity of his injury within 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 Today, 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 Today, 5:54 pm

  • Solid in loss
    Tyler (0-1) took the loss against the Phillies on Friday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 4.2 innings.

    Advice: Tyler opened with four scoreless innings but put runners on the corners with no outs in the fifth. He was able to limit the damage to one run and was pulled with one out to go in the frame at 81 pitches. The Phillies were without recently injured sluggers Bryce Harper (hamstring) and Kyle Schwarber (groin), but Tyler has now allowed three total earned runs with a 6:5 K:BB over 8.2 innings in his first two major-league starts. The 27-year-old likely earned another start next week against the Red Sox. Rotowire.com Today, 5:51 pm
     
  • Kyle Tyler pitches well in loss to Phillies Friday
    Kyle Tyler pitched well in a losing effort against the Phillies on Friday, giving up just one run on four hits over his 4 2/3 innings of work.

    Advice: The 27-year-old right-hander issued a pair of walks while punching out four batters on the evening. The lone tally against him came as Bryson Stott bounced into a fielder’s choice in the fifth inning — the final batter that Tyler would face. He got nine swings and misses on 81 pitches on the night, posting an underwhelming CSW of 20 percent. Tyler will carry a 3.38 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and a 7/5 K/BB ratio (10 2/3 innings) into Thursday’s matchup against the Red Sox. Rotoworld Today, 5:42 pm
     
  • Rehab assignment pending
    Santos (lat) will start a rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    Advice: Santos threw a live BP session Friday without a setback and will be sent out on a minor-league rehab stint Tuesday. Considering he's been out since spring training, Santos should require several rehab appearances before being reinstated. It's unclear if he'll be able to return prior to the All-Star break, but Santos should be activated before the calendar flips to August. Rotowire.com Today, 4:59 pm
     
  • Gregory Santos (lat) ready for rehab assignment
    Gregory Santos (lat) will begin a minor league rehab assignment at Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday.

    Advice: Santos has been sidelined since spring training due to a right lat strain. The 24-yera-old right-hander is only expected to need a couple of appearances there before he’s ready to return to the Mariners’ bullpen. If all goes according to plan, he could be ready to return before the end of next week. Rotoworld Today, 4:54 pm
