  • Bryce Elder starting Wednesday against Cardinals
    Bryce Elder will start on Wednesday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Elder remains a non-factor for fantasy purposes, but the interesting wrinkle here with him coming up to take the ball for the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader at Busch Stadium is that it pushes Chris Sale back an extra day to take the ball against his former team in Chicago.

    Advice: Henriquez, 24, will take the roster spot of Chris Paddack with Paddack placed on the injured list with right arm fatigue.

  • Yu Darvish has sore elbow, won’t return Tuesday
    Yu Darvish is dealing with elbow inflammation will not return to the Padres rotation on Tuesday.

    Advice: This is a new problem for Darvish, who has been out since June 1 with a strained groin, but the Padres are hopeful it’ll be only a minor setback. Adam Mazur will take his place Tuesday against the Nationals. Rotoworld Monday, 3:58 pm
     
  • Dealing with elbow inflammation
    Padres manager Mike Shildt said Monday that Darvish (groin) won't be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Tuesday versus the Nationals due to "a little" right elbow inflammation, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Darvish had been slated to return from close to a month-long absence with a groin injury, but it's an elbow issue that will delay his activation even further. Shildt's wording would seem to suggest that Darvish is dealing with a minor setback, but a return to the rotation next week isn't guaranteed, especially after Darvish missed the final month of last season with a bone spur in the elbow. Adam Mazur was recalled from Triple-A El Paso and will start Tuesday. Rotowire.com Monday, 3:55 pm
     
  • Red Sox promote Isaiah Campbell from Triple-A
    Red Sox recalled RHP Isaiah Campbell from Triple-A Worcester.

    Advice: The Red Sox used eight relievers in Sunday’s game, so they needed a shakeup before the start of the Blue Jays series. Campbell was an important addition for the Red Sox in the offseason, but he struggled to start the season before landing on the IL. Since coming back, he has been solid in Triple-A, posting a 2.19 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 18/3 K/BB ratio in 12 1/3 innings. There’s a chance he could pitch his way back into a key role in the Red Sox bullpen as the summer goes on. Rotoworld Monday, 12:33 pm
     
  • Recalled from Triple-A
    The Red Sox recalled Campbell from Triple-A Worcester on Monday, Chris Henrique of Beyond the Monster reports.

    Advice: Campbell held a 12.79 ERA in seven appearances earlier this season with the Red Sox before getting injured and then optioned. He righted the ship while at Worcester, posting a 2.19 ERA and 18:3 K:BB in 12.1 frames. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:18 pm
