  • Trey Wingenter RP | CHC

    Padres' Trey Wingenter: Out with shoulder strain

    Wingenter was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right shoulder strain Sunday.

    The move was made retroactive to Saturday, so Wingenter is eligible to return May 14. The Padres have yet to specify a target return date for the righty. Phil Maton was recalled from Triple-A El Paso in a corresponding move.

  • Nick Anderson RP | ATH

    Marlins' Nick Anderson: Picks up loss in brutal appearance

    Anderson was charged with the loss after serving up five runs on four hits and a walk while striking out two over 1.2 innings in relief Saturday against the Braves.

    With a 2.08 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 52.9 K% coming into the weekend, Anderson had come out of nowhere to emerge as a top-flight middle reliever during the early portion of the season. He displayed few signs of dominance Saturday, however, with Ozzie Albies' grand slam representing the brunt of the damage done against the ace setup man. One brutal outing won't completely undo the good work Anderson previously provided, but it may prompt fantasy managers to proceed more cautiously about locking him into weekly lineups moving forward.

  • Marlins' Trevor Richards: Tosses 4.1 scoreless innings

    Richards allowed two hits and three walks over 4.1 shutout innings during Saturday's 9-2 loss to the Braves. He struck out three and didn't factor in the decision.

    Richards needed 90 pitches to get through 4.1 innings so he couldn't qualify for the victory, but Miami's bullpen ended up blowing the lead regardless. The 25-year-old has failed to complete five innings in three of his last four starts. Richards has a 4.10 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 34:21 K:BB as he is still searching for his first victory of the season.

  • Kirby Yates RP | PIT

    Padres' Kirby Yates: Takes second straight loss

    Yates (0-2) allowed one run on one hit and two walks over one inning, taking the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday. He struck out three batters.

    Yates closed out April on a 12-inning scoreless streak but has allowed a run in both of his two appearances in May, earning the loss in both. The 32-year-old still owns a 1.50 ERA and is 14-for-14 in save chances in 2019.

  • Kenley Jansen RP | DET

    Dodgers' Kenley Jansen: Nails down 12th save

    Jansen walked one batter and struck out another in a scoreless ninth inning, earning the save against the Padres on Saturday.

    After issuing a walk to Wil Myers, Jansen finished off the game by striking out Greg Garcia. It was his fourth straight scoreless outing, dropping his ERA to 2.70 in 16.2 innings. At this rate, Jansen should easily reach the 40-save mark for the fourth time in his career.

  • Giants' Dereck Rodriguez: Tosses up four homers

    Rodriguez (3-4) allowed eight runs on eight hits with one strikeout and four walks across five innings in a loss to the Reds on Saturday.

    The 26-year-old had many issues Saturday, but his problem keeping the ball in the park surfaced once again. He came into this start with a 1.5 HR/9 and then allowed four bombs Saturday night. Rodriguez has experienced control issues lately too, as he's walked eight batters in the last 13.2 innings. Overall, he is 3-4 with a 5.75 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 26 strikeouts in 36 innings. His next scheduled start is Thursday in Colorado.

  • Pedro Strop RP | CHC

    Cubs' Pedro Strop: Notches fourth save

    Strop saved his fourth game in a win over the Cardinals on Saturday, striking out two in a perfect ninth inning.

    Strop has converted four saves out of his five chances, and in his last nine appearances has allowed just one run and has an 11:2 K:BB. Strop holds a 2.53 ERA and 0.75 WHIP this season.

  • Justin Wilson RP | BOS

    Mets' Justin Wilson: Expects to return soon

    Wilson (elbow) is expected to be activated Monday or Tuesday, Matt Ehalt of Yahoo! Sports reports.

    Wilson is already eligible to return from a stint on the injured list due to elbow soreness, and his absence shouldn't stretch too much longer. His return date could be decided Sunday.

  • Jesse Biddle RP | ARI

    Braves' Jesse Biddle: Begins rehab assignment

    Biddle (groin) began a rehab assignment Saturday with Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Biddle hit the 10-day injured list last Saturday and is eligible to return Tuesday. The Braves haven't announced a target return date for the lefty, but it doesn't appear as though he'll be back much later than that date, if at all.

  • Jimmy Nelson RP | LAD

    Brewers' Jimmy Nelson: Beginning rehab assignment

    Nelson (shoulder) will make a rehab start Sunday for Triple-A San Antonio, Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Nelson was originally scheduled to begin his rehab assignment at San Antonio last weekend, but the premature birth of his twin daughters brought about a change of plan. The 29-year-old will likely require several rehab starts with the Missions given his extensive layoff from game action due to the shoulder injury.
