Oller gave up five runs on five hits and three walks over 1.1 innings during Tuesday's extra-inning loss to the Rays. He had three strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.

Oller surrendered a solo homer in the opening frame and then allowed four more runs while recording only one out during the second inning. It was a rough debut for the 27-year-old, who won a spot in Oakland's starting rotation after Sean Manaea was traded to San Diego. Oller won't be on the fantasy radar until he finds some level of success in the majors, and he lines up for a tough matchup with the Blue Jays on Sunday.

Trivino (0-1) was charged with a blown save and the loss after giving up two runs (one earned) on two hits during Tuesday's 9-8 loss to the Rays in 10 innings. He had one strikeout and one walk over two-thirds of an inning.

The right-hander was handed a one-run lead for the bottom of the 10th, and he immediately allowed the automatic runner to score on a leadoff double by Wander Franco. Trivino retired the next two hitters before issuing an intentional walk, and Manuel Margot followed with a walkoff single. It was Trivino's first save chance of the season but his second appearance overall, and he also surrendered a run in that previous outing. The 30-year-old recorded 22 saves and eight holds with a 3.18 ERA last season for the A's, but he's off to a rough start in 2022.

Hendriks picked up the save Tuesday against the Mariners after giving up one run on three hits during the ninth inning. He had three strikeouts and zero walks.

The 33-year-old entered with a 3-1 lead and needed 25 pitches to get through the frame, but Seattle managed only one run since all three hits allowed were singles. Hendriks is off to a rough start this season, as he picked up a loss and blown save Opening Day after surrendering two runs to Detroit. Still, Hendriks has plenty of job security after recording 38 saves with a 2.54 ERA for the White Sox last year, especially with Craig Kimbrel already shipped off to the Dodgers.

Brash (0-1) was charged with the loss Tuesday against the White Sox after allowing two runs on four hits with six strikeouts and one walk across 5.1 innings.

Brash skipped the Triple-A level and earned a spot in Seattle's Opening Day rotation, and he delivered in his big-league debut while facing a strong offense. The 23-year-old was still dealt the loss despite his performance, but it was a promising effort from the right-hander. Brash is likely to be tested again his next time out as he currently lines up to pitch Sunday versus Houston.

Alexander allowed three runs on five hits across 5.1 innings and did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Red Sox. He struck out four and didn't walk anyone.

Alexander pitched reasonably well in his season debut, and he actually entered the sixth inning with a 3-0 lead before seeing things unravel a bit. He allowed two runs on three hits before getting the hook with one out, and Jacob Barnes then allowed the inherited runner to score. Alexander is filling the rotation spot of Michael Pineda, who was delayed in arriving to spring training due to visa issues. Alexander is slated to start again Sunday against the Royals, though Pineda may be ready to go after that, which would push Alexander into a long-relief role.

Guerra was designated for assignment by the Padres on Tuesday.

Guerra surrendered four earned runs over two innings during his lone appearance of the season Sunday against the Diamondbacks, and he won't retain his spot on the Friars' 40-man roster. San Diego claimed Kyle Tyler off waivers in a corresponding move.

Robertson pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Pirates.

Robertson has now recorded each of the Cubs' first two saves of the season, so it looks like he's ahead of Rowan Wick and others in the bullpen pecking order. Manager David Ross may still mix and match depending on matchups moving forward, but the veteran righty appears to be the preferred Chicago reliever from a fantasy perspective at the moment.

Kranick (forearm) is scheduled to make a rehab start Tuesday for Low-A Bradenton.

Kranick didn't see any action during the Grapefruit League slate while he recovered from a right forearm strain, so Tuesday's outing will likely be the first of multiple rehab appearances for the 24-year-old before he's activated from the 10-day injured list. The time Kranick missed along with the fact that he has minor-league options remaining likely means that he'll be sent to Triple-A Indianapolis once reinstated, though the organization's plans for him could change if the big club has an opening in the rotation a few weeks down the road.

Marte was called up by the Giants on Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

The 27-year-old has yet to make his major-league debut. In 87 career innings at the Triple-A level, he owns a 4.14 ERA and 1.48 WHIP, striking out 26.9 percent of opposing batters while walking 9.5 percent. He'll replace Tyler Rogers, who landed on the paternity list, though Marte will likely be limited to low-leverage work.

Rogers was placed on the paternity leave as expected Tuesday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Rogers took the loss against his twin brother Taylor's Padres on Monday and will now be unavailable for a few days. He'll likely return during the weekend series in Cleveland. Yunior Marte was recalled to take Rogers' place on the roster.
