  • Exits after HBP to hand
    Rojas was removed from Friday's game in San Francisco after taking a pitch off his left hand, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Advice: Sean Hjelle struck him with a 94.7 mph fastball in the top of the seventh inning, following some jawing between the two teams in the bottom of the sixth. Rojas finished the night 0-for-2 with the HBP and is likely headed for scans on his hand. Amed Rosario took over at shortstop for Los Angeles in the bottom of the seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 2:05 pm

  • Getting start after save
    Pagan will start Saturday's game in Colorado after earning a save in Friday's 7-6 win over the Rockies, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Pagan needed just nine pitches in an easy bottom of the ninth inning Friday to earn his first save of the season and will now turn right back around make his first career start. The 32-year-old right-hander will probably only be asked to cover the first inning Saturday for the AL Central-champion Twins. Rotowire.com Today, 1:43 pm
