    • Brandon Pfaadt logs quality start in loss
      Brandon Pfaadt logged a quality start in Wednesday afternoon’s loss to the Cubs, giving up three runs (two earned) on six hits over seven strong innings of work.

      Advice: The 25-year-old right-hander piled up six strikeouts on the afternoon and didn’t issue a base on balls. He kept the Cubs off the board until the fifth inning, where Mike Tauchman delivered an RBI double after Nico Hoerner had reached on an error, then Yan Gomes followed with a run-scoring single. He also served up a solo homer to Cody Bellinger in the sixth inning. Pfaadt got eight swings and misses on 94 pitches on the day, registering a CSW of 30 percent. Now 1-1 on the season, he’ll bring a 5.32 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and a 23/3 K/BB ratio (23 2/3 innings) into Monday’s matchup against the Cardinals in St. Louis. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:16 pm
       
    • Takes seat Wednesday
      Jones is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Jones will get his first day off of the season, with a day game after a night game along with the fact that the Phillies are bringing a left-hander (Cristopher Sanchez) to the hill likely factoring into the Rockies' decision to hold him out of the lineup. Jones could probably benefit from the break from a mental standpoint as well, as he's gone 0-for-11 with five strikeouts against one walk over his last three starts.

    • Back to bench Wednesday
      Raley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Raley will head to the bench with southpaw Andrew Abbott on the hill for the Reds after going 2-for-10 with a triple and an RBI while starting in each of the past three games. Raley's opportunities to play against right-handed pitching look to be on the rise, but he's still not expected to be the primary replacement in left field for Dominic Canzone (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier in the week. Instead, prospect Jonatan Clase is expected to get the first opportunity to fill in for Canzone. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:37 pm
       
    • D-backs transfer Eduardo Rodriguez to 60-day IL
      Diamondbacks transfer Eduardo Rodriguez to the 60-day injured list with lat tightness.

      Advice: This is a tough blow for Rodriguez who was apparently ahead of schedule at the start of the regular season, but now he’s likely to miss the next several months as he works to get healthy. The 31-year-old signed a four-year, $80 million contract with Arizona after a solid season with Detroit in 2023. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:29 am
       
    • Padres place Yu Darvish (neck) on 15-day IL
      Padres placed Yu Darvish on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 15, with neck tightness.

      Advice: San Diego will be without one of their top pitchers for at least the next couple of weeks. Darvish has struggled to start the season positing a 4.18 ERA with a 22/10 K/BB ratio in 23 2/3 innings. He was slated to start on Saturday against the Blue Jays, so we’ll have to wait and see if the team uses Long Gillaspie in a spot start or if they turn to Joe Musgrove who is projected to get the start on Sunday.

    • Moved to 60-day IL
      Arizona transferred Rodriguez (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday.

      Advice: The transaction was made to free up a spot on the 40-man roster for left-hander Logan Allen, whose contract was selected from Triple-A Reno. Rodriguez is currently shut down after experiencing a setback with his left shoulder last week. He now won't be eligible for activation until May 25, and manager Torey Lovullo said Wednesday that it would likely be sometime in June before the lefty could return, according to Alex Weiner of ArizonaSports.com.

    • Shelved with neck tightness
      The Padres placed Darvish on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with neck tightness.

      Advice: San Diego had previously confirmed Darvish to make his sixth start of the season Saturday versus Toronto, but the veteran right-hander's neck injury might have cropped up during a recent throwing session. His placement on the IL is retroactive to Monday, so Darvish will be eligible for activation as soon as April 30. The Padres recalled reliever Logan Gillaspie from Triple-A El Paso to take Darvish's spot on the 26-man active roster, but it's not immediately clear whom San Diego might turn to when Darvish's turn in the rotation comes up this weekend.

    • Takes care of business for save
      Helsley earned another save Tuesday against the Athletics, striking out a batter in a perfect inning of work.

      Advice: Helsley shut down the A's in the ninth on consecutive nights to pick up his league-leading seventh save of the year. He's been perfect over his last four outings, allowing no hits while boasting a 7:0 K:BB and converting all four of his save chances. After pitching back-to-back nights, it's likely Helsley gets Wednesday off, which could put Andrew Kittredge or Giovanny Gallegos in line for a save chance. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:13 am
       
    • Ryan Helsley notches seventh save against A’s
      Ryan Helsley earned his MLB-high seventh save with a hitless ninth inning versus the A’s on Tuesday.

      Advice: Helsley also picked up a save Monday, so we’re assuming he’ll get Wednesday off. It’d also be a third straight day of pitching for JoJo Romero, so Andrew Kittredge might be the favorite to get a save chance. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:28 pm
