    • Throws six scoreless innings in win
      Eflin (4-5) earned the win against the Nationals on Friday, allowing four hits and one walk while striking out six over six scoreless innings.

      Advice: Eflin threw 66 of 93 pitches for strikes and earned his first victory since May 13 and first quality start since May 7. The 30-year-old has now recorded at least six strikeouts over each of his past three outings and has only walked three batters in 28.1 June innings. On the season, Eflin owns a 3.92 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 69:7 K:BB over 87.1 innings and lines up to face the Royals next week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:56 pm
       
    • Zach Eflin hurls six scoreless in win over Nats
      Zach Eflin was terrific in Friday night’s victory over the Nationals, punching out six batters over six innings of shutout baseball.

      Advice: Eflin scattered just four hits and one walk on the night. Only once did an opposing hitter advance past second base in the game, and that was Jacob Young who advanced to third on a ground ball after his leadoff double in the third inning and was then thrown out at home on a fielder’s choice. The 30-year-old right-hander generated 11 swings and misses on 93 pitches in the ballgame — five of those on his curveball — while posting a CSW of 29 percent. Eflin will tote a 3.92 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and a 69/7 K/BB ratio (87 1/3 innings) into Thursday’s showdown against the Royals in Kansas City. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:26 pm
       
    • Eduardo Rodriguez heading for follow-up MRI
      Eduardo Rodriguez (lat) will undergo another follow-up MRI exam on July 6.

      Advice: If all goes well with that exam, it sounds like the 31-year-old southpaw will finally be cleared to resume throwing off of a mound. Once that’s done, he’ll need several sessions off the mound before facing live hitters and then several minor league rehab starts before he’s ready to join the Diamondbacks’ rotation. It seems optimistic to expect him back anytime before the beginning of August. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:19 pm
       
    • MRI set for July 6
      Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said Friday that Rodriguez (shoulder) is scheduled for a follow-up MRI on July 6, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

      Advice: Rodriguez extended his throwing program out to 105 feet earlier in June, and Lovullo noted that the southpaw could start throwing off the mound depending on the results of the MRI. Rodriguez has been out all season after straining his left shoulder in spring training, and his initial throwing program was shut down in April due to shoulder tightness.

    • Devin Williams (back) to throw bullpen Saturday
      Devin Williams (back) is scheduled to throw another bullpen session on Saturday.

      Advice: The 29-year-old hurler felt great after his first bullpen session, so he’ll continue to ramp up as long as he’s feeling good. He’s also tentatively scheduled to throw his first live batting practice on July 9, assuming that he doesn’t suffer any setbacks along the way. If things go according to plan, he could be ready to return to the Brewers’ bullpen immediately following the All-Star break. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:22 pm
       
    • Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of Angels lineup
      Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of the Angels’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Tigers.

      Advice: It’s the eighth consecutive game that Drury has missed due to illness — though he’s said to be making progress and getting closer to a return. Luis Guillorme will start in his place at second base on Friday night and will bat ninth against Kenta Maeda and the Tigers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:20 pm

    • Absent from lineup
      Drury (illness) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Detroit, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    • Another bullpen coming
      Williams threw 20 pitches during a bullpen session Wednesday and is scheduled for another 20-pitch session over the weekend, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Williams utilized his full arsenal during Wednesday's session and is on track to throw off the mound again this weekend. Additionally, Williams is scheduled to throw live batting practice July 9. Regardless, he should be back with the Brewers sometime in July. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:47 pm
       
    • Brandon Drury out again Thursday due to illness
      Brandon Drury (illness) remains out of the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Tigers.

      Advice: It’s honestly a total mystery why Drury hasn’t been placed on the injured list yet since he’s set to miss his seventh consecutive contest since last Wednesday due to an ongoing battle with a respiratory virus. At this point it’s unclear when he’ll be ready to return. Rotoworld Thursday, 2:55 pm
