  • Lands on injured list
    The Padres placed Darvish on the 15-day injured list Saturday with a left groin strain.

    Advice: Darvish had to make an early exit from his start Wednesday against Miami due to hamstring problems, but the issue appears to instead be groin-related. His move to the IL is backdated to Thursday, allowing him to be eligible to return June 14. He will be joined by fellow starter Joe Musgrove (elbow) on the injured list while Randy Vasquez and Logan Gillaspie come up from Triple-A El Paso to take their places.

  • Padres put Yu Darvish on IL with left groin strain
    Padres placed RHP Yu Darvish on the 15-day injured list with a left groin strain.

    Advice: Darvish was originally believed to be dealing with a hamstring issue, but it turns out to be a groin strain that will keep him sidelined for at least a few weeks. The 37-year-old righty lasted just three innings on Wednesday against the Marlins before exiting due to hamstring tightness and holds a solid 3.20 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and a 53/15 K/BB ratio over 56 1/3 innings (11 starts) this season. There should be a clearer timetable for his return at some point in the coming days. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
     
  • Breather Saturday
    Kwan is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus Washington.

    Advice: Kwan will head to the bench after he went 3-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in his return to the lineup Friday after missing nearly four weeks with a hamstring injury. David Fly will slot in at left field while Kyle Manzardo enters the lineup at designated hitter and bats sixth against the Nationals. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

    Advice: Tarnok has been activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Lehigh Valley where he’ll function as extra organizational pitching depth. The 25-year-old righty has made six appearances (one start) in the majors over the last three years. Rotoworld 23 minutes ago

  • Andrew Vaughn dealing with sprained left finger
    Andrew Vaughn is not in Saturday’s lineup due to a sprained left ring finger.

    Advice: Vaughn will miss his second straight contest on Saturday due to an injury that he suffered earlier this week while sliding into third base. The hope is that he’ll avoid a trip to the injured list and be ready to return to Chicago’s lineup at some point early next week. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now.

  • Waived by Nats
    The Nationals requested unconditional release waivers on Robles on Saturday.

    Advice: Robles was designated for assignment Monday, and the Nationals will now opt to let him go rather than sending him outright to one of their minor-league affiliates. The 27-year-old has slashed .120/.281/.120 across 33 plate appearances in the majors this season, but he should be able to contribute for another outfield-needy organization -- even if only in the minors.
