  • Successful bullpen session
    Pepiot (leg) threw a three-inning bullpen session ahead of Friday's game against the Blue Jays, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Pepiot continues to make progress toward a return, as he's now thrown three successful bullpen sessions. His activation could come as soon as the Rays' upcoming series against the Red Sox, though no final decision has been reached. Rotowire.com Today, 12:06 am

  • Return date unclear
    There is no clear timeline for Poche (back) to be activated from the injured list, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Poche has received a pair of cortisone shots to relieve his pain and has been able to resume some baseball activity. However, his ramp up has remained slow, making it unclear when he may be able to return. Rotowire.com Today, 12:01 am
     
  • Stuck with loss Saturday
    Cano (2-2) allowed two runs on two hits in one-third of an inning to take the loss Saturday versus the Mariners.

    Advice: Cano allowed the first two batters to reach base in the eighth inning, giving up one run in the process. Cionel Perez also allowed an inherited runner to score, and the Orioles couldn't overcome the deficit. This is the first time Cano has given up multiple earned runs in an appearance all season, and just the second time he's given up more than one run of any kind. He's now at a 2.95 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 18:9 K:BB while adding two saves and 10 holds over 21.1 innings. The late-inning mix in Baltimore remains in flux, and Cano isn't doing himself any favors with three runs allowed over his last 1.1 innings across three appearances.

  • Quality start Saturday
    Urena allowed a run on four hits and a walk while striking out three over six innings in a no-decision versus the Angels on Saturday.

    Advice: Urena has allowed five runs (four earned) over 17.2 innings across his three starts, though he has just one win to show for it in that span. The lone run on his ledger Saturday came from a Taylor Ward solo home run. Urena now has a 3.29 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 24:13 K:BB over 38.1 innings across 13 appearances (three starts) this season. Dane Dunning (shoulder) and Nathan Eovaldi (groin) both resumed mound work this week as part of their injury rehab, so Urena seems likely to get another start, which is projected to be a tough road outing in Philadelphia.

  • Comes away with no-decision
    Crawford allowed a run on six hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Saturday.

    Advice: Nolan Gorman's second-inning solo shot was the only run on Crawford's line, but he was an out short of a quality start. It was still a good showing from the 28-year-old, who allowed a season-high four earned runs in his previous start versus the Rays. Crawford has given up one run or fewer in six of his 10 starts this season, pitching to a 2.17 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 57:18 K:BB over 58 innings this season. His next start is projected to be at home versus the Brewers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:38 pm
     
  • Registers sixth save
    Megill earned a save against the Astros on Saturday, allowing one hit and striking out three baters over one inning.

    Advice: Megill gave up a two-out single to Jake Meyers but was otherwise dominant, recording all three of his outs via strikeout. He threw 12 of 16 pitches for strikes and recorded his fifth save over five appearances in March. Megill appears to be locked in as Milwaukee's closer, as no other Brewer has notched a save this month. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:33 pm
     
  • José Ureña gives up one run against Angels
    José Ureña went six innings while allowing just a run against the Angels on Saturday.

    Advice: Ureña has more than held his own as a starter thus far for the Rangers, and while he hasn’t exactly faced the cream of the crop, he’s yet to allow more than two runs in his three starts. The right-hander walked one, struck out three and allowed just four hits, but didn’t qualify for a decision with Patrick Sandoval equaling his one-run effort. He does have a tough scheduled matchup for Thursday, however, against the Phillies. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:01 pm
     
  • Kutter Crawford allows one run in no-decision
    Kutter Crawford only allowed one run over 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Cardinals on Saturday.

    Advice: Crawford pitched well, but so did his pitching counterpart Miles Mikolas, so there’s no W for the 28-year-old. Crawford bounced back nicely from a shaky start against the Ray on Monday, and in the process he lowers his ERA to a strong 2.17. There was reason to believe Crawford could help fantasy rosters, but no one could have seen this coming. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:08 pm
     
  • Trevor Megill strikes out three in save vs. Astros
    Trevor Megill struck out three in a scoreless ninth in a save against the Astros on Saturday.

    Advice: That’s the sixth save of the season for the 30-year-old right-hander. Megill allowed just one hit, so it’s up to you to decide whether he struck out the side or not. Megill should continue to see save chances while Devin Williams recovers from injury. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:55 pm
