  • Jesús Luzardo (elbow) scratched from Friday start
    Jesús Luzardo (elbow) was scratched from Friday’s start against the Nationals.

    Advice: Not good. The team said Luzardo will undergo testing for discomfort to his elbow and this more than likely means the 26-year-old will be placed on the injured list in the near future. This adds to the multitude of injuries for Miami’s pitching rotation. Rotoworld 1 minute ago
  • Activated from restricted list
    The Marlins reinstated Brazoban (personal) from the restricted list Thursday.

    Advice: Brazoban landed on the restricted list prior to Opening Day due to visa issues, which have evidently been resolved. Though he's now back on the Marlins' 40-man roster, it's unclear when the reliever might be ready to join the 26-man active roster. Since he missed all of spring training, Brazoban will presumably need to make several appearances in the minors before being an option for the big-league bullpen. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
  • Slugs first homer
    Montero went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Thursday against the Padres.

    Advice: Montero went 6-for-22 across a six-game homestand, though all but one of those hits was a single. His lone extra-base knock came Thursday, which also marked the first home run of his season. Montero is hitting only .233 through 82 plate appearances, but he has cut his strikeout rate to just 14.6 percent and has started 13 of the last 14 games. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago
  • Heads out on rehab assignment
    DeLuca (hand) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Durham on Thursday, going 0-for-4 with an RBI while playing nine innings in right field in a 14-2 loss to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Advice: The 25-year-old outfielder played in his first game since he fractured his right hand in a spring training contest March 10. He'll presumably require a handful of additional rehab games before he'll be ready to return from the 10-day injured list to make his Rays debut. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
  • Throws bullpen session
    Darvish (neck) threw a bullpen session Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Darvish's bullpen session marked his first time throwing off a mound since he landed on the 15-day injured list April 17 with neck tightness. Padres manager Mike Shildt indicated that Darvish wasn't throwing with full effort, saying the right-hander "was on the gas, but didn't have it to the floor." Darvish will likely require at least one or two more bullpen sessions before progressing to facing hitters and then perhaps heading out on a rehab assignment. There's no clear timetable yet for his potential return to San Diego's rotation. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago

  • Blasts three-run shot
    Bart went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer and two runs scored in Thursday's loss to the Brewers while also drawing a walk.

    Advice: Bart put the Pirates ahead with a three-run shot in the bottom of the first, giving the catcher his third home run in just seven games this season. He also drew a two-out walk in the fifth before coming around to score the tying run on a Jack Suwinski double, marking Bart's first game this season with two runs scored. Furthermore, the backstop has now hit safely in six of his seven games and continues to make a strong case for more playing time with Yasmani Grandal (foot) sitting on the 10-day injured list.

  • Pitches eighth inning Thursday
    Payamps pitched a scoreless eighth inning of Thursday's 7-5 win over the Pirates, giving up one hit and one walk en route to claiming his third hold of the season.

    Advice: Just one day after notching his fourth save of the season, Payamps moved to a setup role Thursday, with Trevor Megill coming on in the ninth inning to nab his first save. Brewers manager Pat Murphy hasn't clarified that Megill will be the team's top option for save chances moving forward, so Payamps could end finding himself as part of a committee at closer with Megill and perhaps Abner Uribe.

  • Braves activate Ozzie Albies from 10-day IL
    Braves activated 2B Ozzie Albies (toe) from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Albies returns to the active roster following a stay on the injured list with a fractured right toe. It’s amazing that the 27-year-old needed just the minimum 10 days on the injured list before making his return with the injury he had. On top of that, he was doing fielding drills this past weekend to get ramped up for live action. He’ll be a boost for the Braves’ offense and for fantasy managers as he’s on pace for a career season with a .317/.386/.492 batting line in his first 15 games. Rotoworld 48 minutes ago
  • Nabs first save
    Megill pitched a clean ninth inning Thursday to notch his first save of the year.

    Advice: Megill and Joel Payamps flipped roles from Wednesday, when Megill had pitched a clean eighth inning and Payamps pitched the ninth and got the save despite allowing to fluky baserunners. It's uncertain who will get the next save opportunity. This tracks with how manager Pat Murphy said earlier in the year that he intended to "pass the Fireman's hat around" with the Brewers save chances once Devin Williams got hurt.
