  • Logs quality start in debut
    Mazur did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's loss to the Angels, allowing one run on two hits and four walks while striking out two over six innings.

    Advice: Mazur didn't have his best command Tuesday but was able to limit the damage against him by inducing plenty of weak contact. He allowed four hard hit balls on the night, and both hits against him went for singles with one of those being an RBI knock by Luis Rengifo in the third. Aside from the walks, it was an impressive showing from the 23-year-old who only needed 77 pitches to get through six frames. Mazur will get to stick in the rotation for the time being while the Padres deal with some injuries and lines up to take the mound over the weekend against the Diamondbacks.

  • Summoned to majors
    The Red Sox recalled Kelly from Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.

    Advice: He'll join the 26-man active roster and the bullpen as a replacement for right-hander Chris Martin, who was placed on the 15-day injured list due to anxiety. Kelly has previously made 11 appearances for the big club this season, accruing a 2.16 ERA and 1.26 WHIP in 16.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 7:10 am
     
  • Cleared for rehab assignment
    Matz (back) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Memphis on Thursday, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Advice: Recovering from a protruding disc in his lower back, Matz was cleared for a rehab start after completing two high-intensity bullpen sessions. He is slated for 40-to-45 pitches Thursday, so he will need at least one additional rehab start before rejoining the Cardinals' rotation. A mid-June return is on the table if Matz doesn't have any hiccups. Rotowire.com Today, 7:05 am

  • Allows two runs Tuesday
    Walston did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's win over the Giants, allowing two runs on two hits and four walks while striking out two over 4.1 innings.

    Advice: Walston didn't have his best stuff, evidenced by his four walks, but was able to keep the Giants at bay after the Diamondbacks got out to a 3-0 lead. Walston had a full count on six of the first nine hitters he faced and needed 50 pitches to get through two scoreless frames. The Giants got a run across in the fourth and another in the fifth after Kevin Ginkel was unable to strand one of the two runners he inherited. Walston now owns a 2.84 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 11:9 K:BB over 12.2 innings. The 23-year-old figures to get at least another look in the rotation while Zac Gallen (hamstring) makes his way back from injury. Walston lines up to face the Padres on the road this weekend.

  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    The Blue Jays outrighted Kuhnel to Triple-A Buffalo after he cleared waivers Tuesday.

    Advice: While no longer on Toronto's 40-man roster, it appears Kuhnel will remain in the organization. The right-handed reliever has spent most of this season at the Triple-A level, posting a 2.25 ERA and 7:5 K:BB over 20 frames. Rotowire.com Today, 6:51 am
     
  • Fans six in rehab start
    Winn (forearm) allowed one run on two hits and two walks while striking out six over 3.2 innings in a rehab appearance in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Tuesday.

    Advice: The Giants had mulled the possibility of having Winn skip a rehab start and instead returning from the 15-day injured list and slotting back into the rotation Tuesday. While that didn't happen, Winn could just require the one rehab outing before rejoining the big club Sunday against the Rangers or Monday versus the Astros. The right-hander has been out since mid-May with a strained right forearm. Rotowire.com Today, 6:45 am
     
  • Begins rehab assignment
    Ray (elbow) struck out three in a scoreless inning Tuesday with the Arizona Complex League Giants in his first rehab appearance.

    Advice: Ray yielded a double to top Mariners prospect Felnin Celesten but pitched around it by inducing three swinging strikeouts. Coming back from last May's Tommy John surgery, the 32-year-old Ray will require multiple outings as he builds back up. With a 30-day rehab window, it looks like he should make it back before the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Today, 6:34 am
     
  • Blake Walston denied win after exiting in fifth
    Blake Walston yielded two runs in 4 1/3 innings Tuesday in a no-decision versus the Giants.

    Advice: Walston didn’t get a chance to go for his first big-league victory, as the Diamondbacks pulled him with a 4-1 lead in the fifth. To be fair, he did have two runners on base at the time. The Diamondbacks summoned Kevin Ginkel, usually more of a late-game reliever, and he stranded one of the two runners to make it 4-2. Walston has a 2.84 ERA after two starts and one relief appearance, but it’s concerning that he’s walked nine batters in 12 2/3 innings. He’ll likely get at least one more start before Zac Gallen returns. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:51 pm
     
  • Patrick Sandoval solid for six against Padres
    Patrick Sandoval pitched six innings and allowed just one run Tuesday in the Angels’ 4-2 victory over the Padres.

    Advice: He fanned seven. Unfortunately, Sandoval didn’t get the win, as the Angels didn’t take a lead until the bottom of the seventh. As unlucky as he’s been in the results department, Sandoval is at least fortunate that the Angels soured on Reid Detmers first. Sandoval doesn’t deserve to be 2-8 with a 5.00 ERA while his xERA, SIERA and FIP are all at least a run lower, but if the Angels believed in those kinds of numbers, Detmers would still be in the majors right now.
