Player Notes

  • Ronel Blanco receives 10-game suspension
    Ronel Blanco was given a 10-game suspension after umpires detected a foreign substance on his glove during a check after the third inning on Tuesday.

    Advice: As anticipated, the 30-year-old hurler plans to appeal the suspension. That appeal should be heard relatively quickly, so expect a decision to come down perhaps before the end of the week. Regardless, fantasy managers should have a contingency plan in place for next week. Rotoworld 9 minutes ago
  • Jordan Romano gives up walkoff homer to Orioles
    Jordan Romano took his first blown save and loss after giving up a two-run homer to the Orioles on Wednesday.

    Advice: Romano has been somewhat shaky since returning from elbow inflammation, but that he gave up a 347-foot homer to Adley Rutschman today doesn’t mean a whole lot. He should still be safe in the closer’s role, even if the Blue Jays presumably have more faith in Yimi García at the moment. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago
  • Tanner Scott escapes Wednesday with fifth save
    Tanner Scott navigated a scoreless ninth inning on Wednesday against the Tigers to record his fifth save of the season.

  • Martín Pérez allows five homers in loss to Brewers
    Martín Pérez was torched for nine runs over five innings on Wednesday in a loss to the Brewers.

    Advice: Yikes. Pérez put together one of the worst outings of his extensive big-league career on Wednesday afternoon in Milwaukee, matching a career-high in terms of runs allowed, while also setting a new career-high mark by allowing five home runs. The 33-year-old left-hander’s ERA skyrocketed from 3.60 entering this one to a bloated 4.86 mark in the process. He’ll attempt to rebound on Tuesday when he faces the injury-depleted Giants at home.

  • Goes on IL with rotator cuff injury
    The Athletics placed Wood (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with left rotator cuff tendinitis.

    Advice: The transaction is retroactive to Monday, so Wood will be eligible to come off the IL as soon as May 28. Given Wood's long track record of injuries and history as a slow healer, however, fantasy managers who have been rostering the veteran southpaw should probably prepare for him to miss more than the minimum 15 days. Wood's shoulder issue had been bothering him during his most recent start this past Sunday in Seattle, prompting the Athletics to pull him after just two innings while his fastball velocity was down about two ticks from his season-long average. The Athletics haven't named an immediate replacement in the rotation for Wood, but Kyle Muller tossed four innings in relief of the lefty last Sunday and could be stretched out enough to step into the vacant starting role this weekend in Kansas City.
