  • Sitting again Friday
    Renfroe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Renfoe isn't starting for the second straight game and for the third time in Kansas City's past four contests. The 32-year-old has a .149/.208/.284 slash line in 72 plate appearances and appears to be losing his grip on an everyday role Adam Frazier will receive a start in right field Friday.

  • Scratched due to sore elbow
    Luzardo has been scratched from Friday's scheduled outing against the Nationals due to left elbow soreness.

    Advice: Luzardo felt soreness in his pitching elbow Thursday and is set to undergo further testing. It's yet another blow to a Marlins pitching staff that's sustained plenty of them. Anthony Maldonado will start in Luzardo's place Friday in what will be a bullpen game for Miami. Luzardo has had an uneven 2024 season, collecting a 6.58 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 27:13 K:BB over 26 innings covering his first five starts. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago

  • Struggling to get outs
    Chapman (0-2) allowed two earned runs on two hits and no walks while striking out one to take the loss Thursday against the Brewers.

    Advice: Chapman entered the game in the eighth inning with a one-run lead. He initially ran into some bad luck when a runner reached base on weak contact that didn't leave the infield, but he then threw a wild pitch and served up a home run to Gary Sanchez. Chapman began the season with 5.1 scoreless innings, but he's since allowed six earned runs across his last 2.2 frames and four appearances. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • 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 13 minutes 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 22 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 27 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 30 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 39 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.
