    • Exits with trainer
      Gallen was removed from Friday's game against the Mariners with an apparent injury, Nick Piecoro of The Arizona Republic reports.

      Advice: It's not immediately apparent what was bothering Gallen enough to call for his removal in the sixth inning, but the Diamondbacks should offer more information relatively soon. The 28-year-old right-hander was able to get through five frames Friday while surrendering three earned runs on three hits and a walk while striking out three batters.

    • Zac Gallen exits start in sixth inning with injury
      Zac Gallen was removed from Friday night’s start against the Mariners in the sixth inning due to an apparent injury.

      Advice: It’s unclear exactly what occurred, but Gallen clearly didn’t feel right after delivering a pitch in the sixth inning, prompting a visit from the training staff and his eventual removal from the game. He had allowed two runs on three hits and a walk over his five-plus innings of work before departing. Expect the Diamondbacks to provide an update on their star right-hander’s status as soon as possible. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago
       
    • Fires seven frames in loss
      Cortes (1-2) took the loss against Oakland on Thursday, allowing three runs on five hits and no walks while striking out four batters over seven innings.

      Advice: Cortes tossed a quality start for the third time in his past four outings, though he has added just one win to his ledger over that span. All of the runs the left-hander gave up Thursday came in the third inning via a pair of long balls. Despite notching just one victory across six appearances, Cortes has done pretty well so far this season, posting a 3.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 32:5 K:BB over 36 innings.

    • Takes loss despite quality start
      Gore (2-2) took the loss against the Dodgers on Thursday, allowing one run on seven hits and two walks while striking out four batters over six innings.

      Advice: Gore held the vaunted Dodgers offense mostly in check and notched his first quality start of the campaign, but he still was handed a loss as Washington's offense couldn't figure out Los Angeles starter Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The outing marked the first time this season Gore has completed six innings, and it was a nice bounce-back after he gave up three runs over a season-low four frames versus Houston his last time out. Gore holds a 3.12 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB over 26 innings on the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:28 pm
       
    • Nestor Cortes completes seven frames against A’s
      Nestor Cortes was charged with three runs over seven innings on Thursday in a loss to the Dodgers.

      Advice: Cortes gave up third-inning homers to Nick Allen and Tyler Nevin, which accounted for all of the damage against him in this one, but didn’t get any run support from New York’s offense. The 29-year-old lefty will bring a serviceable 3.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 32/5 K/BB ratio across 36 innings (six starts) into a road tilt on Tuesday against the Orioles.

    • Freddie Freeman scalds RBI double in Dodgers’ win
      Freddie Freeman went 2-for-3 with an RBI double on Thursday, lifting the Dodgers to a 2-1 victory over the Nationals.

      Advice: Freeman has flown a bit under the radar with Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani justifiably stealing the early-season spotlight. However, his latest multi-hit performance puts his batting average back above the .300 mark for the first time this season. The 34-year-old fantasy stalwart has shown zero signs of slowing down at this stage of his career and remains an elite four-category contributor also capable of chipping in the occasional stolen base.

    • MacKenzie Gore allows one run in loss to Dodgers
      MacKenzie Gore yielded one run over six innings on Thursday in a loss to the Dodgers.

      Advice: Gore coaxed an impressive 17 swinging strikes, but it only led to four strikeouts and a pedestrian 27 percent CSW. He gave up only seven hits as a second-inning solo shot by Teoscar Hernández represented the lone tally against him in this one. Yet, it was still enough to hand him a loss as Washington’s offense mustered only one run on seven hits combined. He’ll bring a respectable 3.12 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 38/8 K/BB ratio across 26 innings (five starts) into a challenging road matchup on Tuesday against the defending World Series champion Rangers.

    • Gavin Williams shut down with elbow discomfort
      Gavin Williams (elbow) has been shut down from throwing for at least one week after experiencing renewed discomfort.

      Advice: Not good. Williams has been on the shelf since spring training due to right elbow inflammation and appeared to be getting close to making his season debut prior to this latest setback. The 24-year-old top pitching prospect should be ready to resume throwing next week after receiving a PRP injection. However, there is no official timetable for his return at this juncture.

    • Framber Valdez to start Sunday in Mexico City
      Framber Valdez (elbow) will start on Sunday against the Rockies in Mexico City.

      Advice: Astros manager Joe Espada confirmed Thursday that Valdez will return this weekend after spending just over two weeks on the shelf with left elbow inflammation. The 30-year-old southpaw completed a 40-pitch bullpen session earlier this week and figures to have some workload limitations this weekend in Mexico City’s extremely hitter-friendly high-altitude environment. His return will provide Houston’s injury-depleted starting rotation with a significant lift, but he’s probably best left on the bench this weekend for fantasy purposes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:33 pm
