  • Optioned to Triple-A
    The Giants optioned Black to Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Black was recalled from Sacramento ahead of Tuesday's contest, but he will now return to the minors without appearing in a game. The 24-year-old right-hander owns an 8.79 ERA and 1.95 WHIP in 14.1 innings with the Giants this season but the lack of depth in San Francisco's rotation could allow him to return to the majors if needed for a spot start. Hayden Birdsong was selected from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com 2 minutes ago
     
  • Poor control in loss
    Gibson (5-3) allowed four runs on four hits and five walks while striking out four over four innings to take the loss versus Atlanta in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

    Advice: Gibson made his first start since June 14 -- a stint on the bereavement list, a bout of back tightness and a rainout combined to keep him out of game action for 12 days. He wasn't sharp, throwing 50 of 87 pitches for strikes Wednesday, with the five walks being a season high. This was his first loss since April 13 and the first time he's given up more than three runs since May 17. Gibson has a 3.70 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 77:36 K:BB over 87.2 innings across 15 starts this season. He's projected to make his next start at Pittsburgh. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago

  • Kyle Gibson walks five in loss to Braves
    Kyle Gibson allowed four runs and walked five in four innings Wednesday in a loss to the Braves.

    Advice: The control issues are rather unusual for Gibson — this is the first time in two years that he’s walked five in a game — and one wonders if they might have been related to the back issue that cost him his last start. He dropped to 5-3 with a 3.70 ERA. Rotoworld 15 minutes ago

  • Done for season
    France will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder Monday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Shoulder problems have kept France on the injured list at Triple-A Sugar Land since early May, and he suffered a setback in his recovery Sunday. Rather than pausing and restarting his throwing program, the 29-year-old right-hander will instead go under the knife to address the issue, putting an early end to his season. He'll finish with a 7.46 ERA and 1.70 WHIP through 25.1 innings over five major-league starts, and a timeline for his return will likely come following his procedure. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago

  • Jared Koenig records seventh victory in relief
    Jared Koenig picked up his seventh win in relief after throwing a scoreless 10th Wednesday against the Rangers.

    Advice: Koenig is the Brewers’ win leader even though he didn’t debut until Apr. 15, and he’s been burned as an opener three times, ruling out the possibility of anything aside from a loss. His ERA stands at 1.72, though his 33/11 K/BB in 36 2/3 innings is more good than great. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago

  • J.P. France to undergo season-ending surgery
    J.P. France will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder.

    Advice: The procedure will be performed by Dr. Keith Meister. France dealt with shoulder issues during spring training and likely played a role in his poor performance during his time with the Astros this season. He’ll miss the remainder of the 2024 season, but should be ready to rock for the beginning of the 2025 campaign. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago

  • Spencer Arrighett whiffs 10 in seven-inning gem
    Spencer Arrighetti struck out 10 over seven shutout innings on Wednesday in a win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Arrighetti put together the strongest outing of his rookie campaign yet on Wednesday afternoon at Minute Maid Park, scattering three hits over seven scoreless frames, while recording his first-ever double-digit strikeout performance. The 24-year-old top pitching prospect generated 13 swinging strikes and finished with a near-elite 39 percent CSW. It’s notable that this unexpectedly brilliant effort comes after he was torched by the White Sox and Tigers, respectively, in his previous two outings. There’s definitely some streaming appeal here for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues, but he’s been the quintessential boom-or-bust dice roll over the last few weeks. He’ll square off against the struggling Blue Jays on Tuesday in his next outing. Rotoworld Today, 1:59 pm
     
  • Ryan Feltner gives up four runs in loss to Astros
    Ryan Feltner allowed four runs over six innings on Wednesday in a loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Feltner managed to hang in there into the middle innings, limiting Houston’s formidable lineup to just a pair of run-scoring singles, until the metaphorical wheels came off in the seventh inning. He was lifted after giving up back-to-back singles to open the frame, but reliever Tyler Kinley allowed both of those inherited runners to eventually cross the plate. He finished with two strikeouts and only handed out one free pass. He’ll bring an inflated 6.02 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 75/23 K/BB ratio across 86 2/3 innings (16 starts) into a home matchup on Wednesday against the Brewers. Rotoworld Today, 1:58 pm
     
  • Downplays shoulder injury
    Turnbull said after Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Tigers that he felt "a little grab" in his right shoulder during his penultimate pitch of the third inning but noted that he isn't especially concerned about the injury, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Advice: Making his first start for the Phillies since April 30 as a replacement in the rotation for Taijuan Walker (finger), Turnbull struck out two and allowed one run on one hit and two walks before leaving the game following the bottom of the third inning. The Phillies labeled his injury as a sore shoulder, but he'll undergo further testing Thursday as the team looks to get a more precise diagnosis. The upcoming tests should also help clarify whether Turnbull will be ready to go for his next turn through the rotation, which would fall next week in Chicago at Wrigley Field. Michael Mercado would likely be the next man up to enter the rotation if Turnbull needs to join Walker on the 15-day injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 1:52 pm
