Player Notes

  • Picks up win on Opening Day
    Berrios (1-0) went 6.0 innings and allowed two runs on six hits and one walk during Thursday's win over the Rays. He struck out six.

    Advice: After kicking off 2023 with two straight losses, Berrios wasted no time getting in the win column to start the 2024 campaign, going six strong against Tampa Bay. Berrios was tagged for a solo homer by Yandy Diaz on just his fifth pitch of the game. However, he limited Rays' hitters two through five to a combined 0-for-11 with a walk. Berrios's next start is tentatively scheduled to come against the Astros. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
  • Knocked around in Oakland debut
    Wood (0-1) took the loss against Cleveland on Thursday, allowing six runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out three batters over 3.1 innings.

    Advice: Wood got through three frames with just one run on his ledger, but he faltered in the fourth, allowing six straight batters to reach base with one out. The left-hander was pulled following Brayan Rocchio's two-run double, but by then he had given up five runs in the frame. Wood will be looked to for veteran leadership and rotation stability in his first campaign with the Athletics, though it remains to be seen how much he has left in the tank after compiling a 4.41 ERA over his previous three big-league seasons across the bay with San Francisco.

  • Struggles in 2024 opener
    Eflin (0-1) went 5.2 innings and allowed six runs on six hits and one walk during Thursday's loss to Toronto. He struck out five.

    Advice: Eflin was roughed up by the Blue Jays' potent offense, giving up solo home runs to George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero and Cavan Biggio. Most of the damage against Eflin came in the sixth, where he gave up five of his six earned runs. Eflin is set for another test to start 2024, with a matchup against the Rangers on tap for his next projected start. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
  • Zac Gallen allows one over five in win over Rockies
    Zac Gallen held the Rockies to one run over five innings to pick up a win Thursday.

    Advice: He allowed three hits with two walks and three strikeouts. It was not a particularly efficient outing from Gallen, as he needed 90 pitches to get through the five frames and qualify for the victory. He could have been far less effective and still come away with the win, as the Diamondbacks shellacked the Colorado pitching staff for 16 runs in a complete obliteration. Gallen will have a chance for his second victory Tuesday when he and the Diamondbacks face off against the Yankees. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
  • Strikes out nine in tough loss
    Ragans (0-1) tossed six innings of two-run baseball, allowing five hits and three walks while striking out nine while earning the defeat in Thursday's Opening Day 4-1 loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Ragans picked up where he left off in 2023 by averaging 15.0 K/9, but not receiving nearly enough run support to earn the loss for Kansas City. The lefty hard-thrower started 12 games for the Royals last season after coming over in a mid-season trade from Texas and posted a 2.64 ERA with 89 strikeouts over 71.2 innings in those 12 starts. He's expected to continue his ascent as one of the top young left-handed starters in the American League this season. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
