  • X-rays negative
    X-rays on Vasquez's right forearm came back negative after he was removed from Friday's game versus Boston, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: A 98-mph line drive off the bat of Ceddanne Rafaela struck Vasquez's arm in the fifth inning, forcing him to leave the game after four-plus innings of one-run ball. The 25-year-old said after the game that he's dealing with a bit of swelling, but he seemed optimistic about his chances to make his next start. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:59 pm
     
  • Randy Vásquez diagnosed with forearm contusion
    Randy Vásquez was diagnosed with right forearm contusion after being hit by a line drive during Friday night’s start against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Fortunately, it sounds like the 25-year-old hurler was able to avoid any serious injury after being struck by a Ceddanne Rafaela line drive to open the fifth inning on Friday. Unfortunately, his early exit from the game did cost him a victory. He should be able to make his next scheduled turn in the Padres’ rotation on Thursday against the Rangers in Texas.

  • Struck by comebacker, exits early
    Vasquez was removed from his start Friday against the Red Sox after getting hit in the right forearm by a comebacker, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Vasquez took a 98 mph line drive off his forearm during the fifth inning of Friday's contest, and he was taken out of the game after conferring with a trainer. He'll be sent for imaging, and the Padres should have an update on the severity of his injury in the near future. The 25-year-old righty had allowed one earned run on five hits and a walk while striking out one batter over four innings before being taken out of the game. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:17 pm
     
  • Randy Vasquez exits start after being hit by liner
    Randy Vasquez was removed from Friday night’s start against the Red Sox after being hit in the forearm by a line drive.

    Advice: The batted ball came from Ceddanne Rafaela leading off the fifth inning. Vasquez had allowed just one run on five hits and a walk through his four innings of work while striking out one. It’s a tough break for fantasy managers, as Vasquez had a 9-1 advantage in the ballgame and looked poised to secure a victory in the start. He’ll presumably head for X-rays to rule out any potential fractures and the Padres should have an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Friday, 5:54 pm
     
  • Throwing off mound Saturday
    Speier (shoulder) is set to throw off a mound Saturday, Shannon Drayer of SeattleSports.com reports.

    Advice: Speier will pitch off a mound for the first time since being being placed on the IL on June 1, marking a significant step in his recovery from a shoulder strain. He'll likely need to complete a few bullpen sessions before being sent on a minor-league rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Friday, 4:52 pm
     
  • Set for rehab outing Sunday
    Minter (hip) is scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Gwinnett on Sunday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Sunday's appearance could be Minter's last before being activated from the 15-day injured list. While he's allowed two runs (one earned) across two minor-league innings, he's only surrendered one hit. Prior to being placed on the IL, Minter turned in a 2.95 ERA and a 23:6 K:BB across 21.1 innings with Atlanta. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:33 pm
     
  • Orioles recall LHP Matt Krook
    Orioles recalled LHP Matt Krook from Triple-A Norfolk.

    Advice: If he pitches, Krook will be making his Orioles debut, and hopefully he’ll get to lower his 24.75 career ERA that he accrued in four appearances with the Yankees last year. He had a 3.71 ERA and a 31/17 K/BB in 26 2/3 innings for Norfolk. Rotoworld Friday, 11:18 am
     
  • Summoned from Triple-A
    The Orioles recalled Krook from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday.

    Advice: Krook will supply some short-term depth for the Orioles' bullpen with Corbin Burnes hitting the paternity list. Krook hasn't appeared in an MLB game this season and owns a 3.71 ERA across 26.2 innings with Norfolk in 2024. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:16 am
     
  • Records 11th save
    Scott earned a save against the Phillies on Thursday, striking out one batter in a perfect ninth inning.

    Advice: Scott made quick work of Philadelphia in the ninth frame, retiring the side in order on nine pitches. The lefty closer has not given up a run in any of his past seven outings, tallying a win and three saves despite a mediocre 5:3 K:BB over seven innings during that span. Scott is 11-for-13 in save chances on the season and has an excellent 1.54 ERA across 35 frames. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:17 pm
