  • Wilmer Flores hits two-run double in Giants’ win
    Wilmer Flores delivered a two-run double on Thursday, powering the Giants to a 5-0 victory over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Flores came off the bench to face lefty reliever Kyle Nelson with the bases loaded in the eighth inning and immediately scalded a two-run double into the left-field corner to give San Francisco a commanding three-run cushion. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago

  • Ketel Marte stays hot Thursday in loss to Giants
    Ketel Marte singled on Thursday in the Diamondbacks’ loss to the Giants.

    Advice: Marte led off the contest with a single back up the middle off Giants starter Logan Webb. He’s been on an absolute tear of late with eight hits in 14 at-bats over his last three contests. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago
     
  • Logan Webb makes swift work of D-backs in win
    Logan Webb fired seven shutout innings on Thursday in a win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Webb retired a career-high 19 consecutive batters following back-to-back singles from Ketel Marte and Corbin Carroll, respectively, to open the contest before issuing a one-out walk to Christian Walker in the seventh inning. The 27-year-old workhorse, who finished with five strikeouts and only issued one walk, completed seven frames for the third consecutive start in this one. He’ll bring a sparkling 2.93 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 22/6 K/BB ratio across 30 2/3 innings (five starts) into another home outing on Tuesday against the Mets. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
     
  • Dealing with bruised elbow
    Nelson exited Thursday's start against the Giants due to a right elbow contusion.

    Advice: Nelson took a comebacker to his arm while recording the final out of the second inning and was forced to exit the game. It appears that he's avoided a fracture or other more serious injury, so it remains possible that he's available for his next turn through the rotation. Rotowire.com Today, 8:36 pm
     
  • Early exit
    Nelson was forced to leave Thursday's start against the Giants after taking a comebacker to his right wrist in the second inning, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

    Advice: Nelson worked two scoreless innings while allowing two hits before exiting. The nature of the injury is currently unclear, though he'll likely undergo an MRI or X-ray to determine the severity of the damage. Rotowire.com Today, 7:29 pm
     
  • Shifts to 60-day injured list
    Story (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

    Advice: The move was strictly procedural, as Story has already been ruled out for the rest of the 2024 season. The transaction opened a 40-man roster spot for the newly acquired Vladimir Gutierrez. Rotowire.com Today, 7:26 pm

  • Ryne Nelson exits Thursday with elbow contusion
    Ryne Nelson was removed from Thursday’s start against the Giants with a right elbow contusion.

    Advice: Nelson was replaced by lefty Logan Allen to open the third inning after taking an 87 mph line drive from Mike Yastrzemski off his right elbow at the conclusion of the second inning. The 26-year-old righty scattered two hits over two scoreless frames before exiting. He presumably checked out fine after undergoing additional evaluation and might be able to make his next start on Tuesday against the Cardinals. Rotoworld Today, 7:23 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 Today, 7:11 pm
