  • Ian Gibaut’s (forearm) return from IL delayed
    Reds RHP Ian Gibaut (forearm) continues to have discomfort and his return has been pushed back.

    Advice: The 30-year-old was placed on the 15-day injured list prior to Opening Day, but the right-handed reliever will now be sidelined for longer than expected. Everything seemed like it was heading in the right direction for Gibaut, so this setback is disappointing to here. We’ll have to wait and see how the team wants to designate him moving forward.

  • Replaces injured starter
    Allen (0-1) was tagged with Thursday's loss, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out three over 4.2 relief innings against the Giants.

    Advice: Allen, who had his contract selected Wednesday and was set to serve as Arizona's long reliever, was needed immediately. The left-hander entered the third inning in place of starter Ryne Nelson, who had taken a liner off his elbow during the final out of the second inning. Allen allowed all three hits and the lone run in that first inning of work. He then settled in, utilizing a changeup that's been effective for him at Triple Reno according to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, and gave Arizona a chance when he departed with two outs in the seventh and the Giants leading, 1-0. Nelson may have avoided serious injury -- X-rays came back negative -- but the club will see how he responds Friday before making any decisions. If he's unable to make his next start, scheduled for Tuesday, Allen is a sensible option as a fill-in starter. Rotowire.com Today, 5:39 am
     
  • Logan Allen bails out Arizona with 4 2/3 frames in relief
    Logan Allen allowed one run over 4 2/3 innings on Thursday in relief against the Giants.

    Advice: Allen saved Arizona’s bullpen with nearly five frames at Oracle Park following starter Ryne Nelson’s early exit from the contest after just two frames due to a right elbow contusion. He struck out three and only issued one walk. It was his first appearance in the majors since May 15, 2022. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:57 pm
     
  • Dealt to Red Sox
    Gutierrez was traded from Milwaukee to Boston in exchange for cash considerations, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Gutierrez was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Wednesday, though it didn't take him long to land with his third club since the season began. He'll start his Red Sox tenure with Triple-A Worcester, though he's likely to contribute as a long reliever or spot starter for the big-league club at some point in 2024.

  • Red Sox acquire Vladimir Gutierrerz from Brewers
    Red Sox acquired RHP Vladimir Gutierrez from the Brewers for cash considerations.

    Advice: Gutierrez provides the Red Sox with some extra organizational pitching depth at Triple-A Worcester. The 28-year-old righty was designated for assignment earlier this week by the Brewers. His lone appearance in the big leagues this season came with the Marlins a couple weeks ago. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:11 pm
     
  • Tyler Alexander starting Friday against Yankees
    Tyler Alexander will start on Friday against the Yankees.

    Advice: Alexander will take the ball for Friday’s series opener at Yankees Stadium following a six-inning bulk relief outing last Sunday against the Giants. The 29-year-old southpaw holds a inflated 6.46 ERA, 1.63 WHIP and 12/5 K/BB ratio across 15 1/3 innings (three appearances, one start). He’s not a recommended option for fantasy managers.

  • Sidelined by shoulder strain
    Church was placed on the 7-day injured list with a right shoulder strain Thursday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Church was in the running for a spot in the big-league bullpen during spring training, though he was ultimately optioned to the minors. Since, he's allowed two earned runs across 4.2 innings while posting a 5:3 K:BB with Triple-A Round Rock. It's unclear how long Church will be sidelined. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:53 pm
     
  • Starting Friday
    Alexander will start Friday against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Alexander has shifted between a bulk relief and a traditional starting role. It appears he's in line for the latter Friday, and he should have no limitations after working six innings in his last appearance, which came against San Francisco on Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:42 pm
