    • Dealing with back tightness
      Walker was unavailable for Wednesday's game versus the Dodgers due to back tightness, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

      Advice: Walker last pitched Sunday, allowing one run on four hits over one inning while taking a blown save versus the Reds, so it's possible he's been dealing with the issue for a while. For now, the right-hander can be considered day-to-day. The Giants are off Thursday before beginning a three-game series at home versus the Rockies on Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:39 pm
       
    • Nabs save Wednesday
      Kelly earned a save against the Red Sox on Wednesday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning of work.

      Advice: Kelly entered in the ninth inning with Tampa Bay clinging to a one-run lead, and he dispatched the first two batters he faced on strikeouts before getting Ceddanne Rafaela to ground out to wrap up his first save of the campaign. Meanwhile, Pete Fairbanks -- who is usually Tampa's closer -- pitched in the eighth inning against the heart of Boston's order and notched a hold. That usage suggests that manager Kevin Cash won't hesitate to deploy Fairbanks in the highest leverage situations, even when they come before the ninth frame. As such, other Rays relievers (including Kelly) could get save opportunities from time to time, though those chances are probably too unpredictable for fantasy managers to hassle with in leagues that don't reward holds.

    • Beginning rehab assignment
      Springs (elbow) will pitch in the Florida Complex League on May 20, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Springs completed a two-inning live batting practice session Wednesday, lining him up to return to the mound in an official game for the first time since April 13, 2023. He'll have a significant ramp-up period before being activated from the injured list, but he is projected to return in late June. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:59 pm
       
    • Collects first win
      Coulombe (1-0) allowed a hit in a scoreless inning and earned the win Wednesday over the Blue Jays. He did not issue a walk or strikeout a batter.

      Advice: Coulombe did his part in the top of the ninth inning to keep the game within reach for the Orioles, and Adley Rutschman rewarded him by walking it off with a two-run home run. Coulombe has not allowed a run over his last seven appearances, covering 6.1 innings with a 3:0 K:BB in that span. He's at a 2.16 ERA, 0.54 WHIP and 17:2 K:BB through 16.2 innings while adding a save, eight holds and a blown save as a reliable high-leverage arm. With Craig Kimbrel's struggles jolting the Orioles into a closer committee, it appears Coulombe remains more of a setup man at this stage of the campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:57 pm
       
    • Taking steps toward return
      Pepiot (leg) threw a bullpen session Tuesday and is likely to throw a simulated game in the near future, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The exact next steps for Pepiot are unclear, but he is on the road with the team and is still aiming to return after a minimum term on the injured list. If he can reach that goal, he'd line up to start at some point during the Rays' homestand against the Red Sox and Royals. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:55 pm

    • Keeps rolling Wednesday
      Gray (2-1) allowed four hits and two walks while striking out three over 6.1 shutout innings to earn the win Wednesday versus the Guardians.

      Advice: Gray has strung together four straight quality starts after posting just one over his first six outings this season. During his hot streak, the right-hander has allowed just four runs while posting a 20:3 K:BB over 27.1 innings. Gray is at a 2.08 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 52:14 K:BB through 52 innings across 10 appearances (nine starts) in 2024. He'll look to keep it up in his next start, tentatively projected to come on the road against the Phillies. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:46 pm
       
    • Decent in loss
      Carrasco (2-4) took the loss versus the Rangers on Wednesday, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out three over five innings.

      Advice: Carrasco traded zeroes with Jon Gray for the first four innings, but the Rangers broke through on a two-run home by Marcus Semien in the fifth. This was a small step back for Carrasco, who had posted quality starts in his last two outings. The right-hander is now at a 5.16 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 34:18 K:BB over 45.1 innings this season. He is projected for a home start versus the Mets his next time out. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:43 pm
       
    • Nolan Schanuel homers in win over Cardinals
      Nolan Schanuel went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and a walk on Wednesday in a 7-2 win over the Cardinals.

      Advice: Schanuel got the scoring started in this one with a solo homer off Lance Lynn to lead off the bottom of the first inning. He added a base hit in the sixth and reached once more with a walk in the eighth. The 22-year-old first baseman is slashing .244/.320/.356 with four homers and 15 RBI across 155 plate appearances.

    • Zach Neto blasts solo homer in win
      Zach Neto went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Wednesday against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Neto knocked a single to lead off the second inning, but was caught stealing second. He’s now just 6-for-11 on steal attempts. Neto got around all the bases in the sixth, taking Nick Robertson deep for a solo homer. The 23-year-old shortstop is hitting .250/.297/.392 with four homers, 14 runs scored, 14 RBI, and six steals across 158 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:23 pm
