    • Returns to mound
      Chapman (finger) struck out two and did not allow a baserunner in a scoreless inning to earn a hold Thursday against the Cubs.

      Advice: Chapman was removed from Sunday's appearance with a cracked fingernail, but the issue was never expected to require a long-term absence. After beginning the season as the Pirates' primary setup man, Chapman appeared in the seventh inning while Colin Holderman followed him in the eighth frame. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
       
    • Back from paternity leave
      The Guardians activated Hentges from the paternity leave list Thursday.

      Advice: Hentges missed the series against the Rangers while tending to his growing family. He'll be back in the Guardians' bullpen for their weekend set versus the Twins. Rotowire.com Today, 6:31 am
       
    • Poised for rehab assignment
      Hall (knee) will begin a rehab assignment with Single-A Wisconsin on Sunday.

      Advice: Hall got through a two-inning simulated game Tuesday with no issues to clear the way for him to pitch in a rehab game. He's been sidelined for nearly a month with a left knee sprain, so Hall would figure to require at least a couple rehab outings before rejoining the Brewers' rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 6:28 am

    • Picks up first win
      Martinez (1-2) earned the win over the Dodgers on Thursday, pitching five shutout innings in relief while allowing one hit and striking out four.

      Advice: Martinez relieved Justin Wilson to open the bottom of the third and proceeded to retire 15 of the 16 batters he faced over his five innings of work. The veteran right-hander generated 12 swings and misses on the night en route to earning his first win of the season. Martinez has been outstanding in the relief role and now carries a 0.87 ERA to go along with a 9:2 K:BB through 10.1 innings in May (four appearances). Rotowire.com Today, 6:06 am
       
    • DL Hall (knee) set for rehab start
      DL Hall (knee) is set to make his first minor league rehab start over the weekend.

      Advice: Hall is scheduled to start for the High-A Wisconsin Timber Rattlers on Sunday. Acquired in the trade with the Orioles for Corbin Burnes this past offseason, the 25-year-old left-hander has been on the injured list since late April with a left knee sprain. Rotoworld Today, 6:04 am

    • Earns first save
      Dubin picked up his first save in a win over Oakland on Thursday, allowing one run on two hits over three innings while striking out two.

      Advice: Dubin took advantage of a rare save opportunity and closed out the final three innings for the Astros on Thursday. The right-handed reliever surrendered a leadoff single to kick things off in the seventh and then allowed the runner to advance on a wild pitch before they would eventually make their way home to put Oakland on the board. However, Dubin was able to work his way through it before cruising through the next two frames and recording his longest outing of the campaign. On the downside, he's now allowed at least one run in two of his last three appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 4:32 am
       
    • Lit up in second start
      Estes (1-1) was hit with the loss Thursday against the Astros, allowing eight runs on eight hits and four walks over 3.2 innings while striking out four.

      Advice: Estes struggled with his command out of the gate and was lucky to get through the first two innings unscathed despite allowing four batters to reach over that span. However, it would finally catch up with the 22-year-old right-hander in the third after he issued a walk to Kyle Tucker to open the frame, which would eventually lead to six runs coming across for Houston in the inning. Estes would surrender another two runs in the fourth and actually allowed the leadoff man to reach in all four innings in which he appeared. He threw just 61 pitches over five frames in his first outing and did not walk a batter, but needed 89 pitches to get through 3.2 innings Thursday, while issuing four free passes.

    • Struggles against Boston
      Littell didn't factor into the decision Thursday, allowing four runs on seven hits and a walk over five innings against the Red Sox. He struck out three.

      Advice: Littell surrendered his first home run since April 22, yielding a solo home run to Rafael Devers in the second inning. Thursday's outing marked Littell's second time in nine starts allowing four or more runs. On the year, Littell owns a 3.44 ERA, a 1.31 WHIP and a 48:4 K:BB across 49.2 innings. He's tentatively scheduled for a rematch with Boston during a three-game homestand early next week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:54 pm
       
    • Shaky against Rays
      Criswell didn't factor into the decision Thursday against Tampa Bay, allowing five runs (three earned) on four hits and two walks across 3.2 innings. He struck out three.

      Advice: Criswell set season worst run and earned run totals Thursday and gave up a home run for a third straight start. The long ball came in the third inning off the bat of Josh Lowe and plated Jose Siri. Despite Thursday's hiccup, Criswell owns a 2.76 ERA and a 28:7 K:BB through 29.1 innings, an impressive showing for his first extended stretch as a starter. Although he's been a solid fill-in option for the Sox, Criswell will likely be the odd man out once Garrett Whitlock (oblique) returns from the IL -- which could be as soon as May 20.
