Clase (2-2) allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits and failed to record an out Friday, taking the loss versus Cincinnati.

He committed a throwing error that led to Cincinnati's first run, and his balk led to a second run. Mike Moustakas added an RBI single before Phil Maton relieved Clase and finished the inning. The 23-year-old hadn't given up an earned run in 14.1 innings entering Friday, but he had allowed three unearned runs. Clase now has a 1.26 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB in 16 outings. He's gone 6-for-7 on save chances and is unlikely to lose his spot at the top of Cleveland's closer pecking order after one bad outing.

Finnegan (2-0) allowed no hits and one walk while striking out one in a scoreless seventh inning to earn the win against the Yankees on Friday.

Finnegan tossed an immaculate inning Wednesday, and he was brought on during a 3-3 matchup Friday. He was able to pick up his second win of the season after the Nationals scored six runs in the top of the eighth inning. Finnegan has posted a 3.29 ERA and 18:6 K:BB in 13.2 innings this year, but his fantasy value is limited by his low-leverage role.

Yarbrough was placed on the COVID-19 injured list Friday due to side effects from the vaccine, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Yarbrough tentatively lines up to make his next start Tuesday, and he'll be eligible to return from the injured list as soon as his side effects subside. Kevan Smith was called up to serve as catching depth after Francisco Mejia (ribs) was scratched from Friday's lineup.

Suter exited Friday's game against the Marlins due to right calf cramps, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

Suter left Friday's spot start with a trainer after just 2.1 innings, but his calf issue likely won't force him to miss significant time. The left-hander will likely be available out of the bullpen in the near future.

Suter was removed from Friday's game against the Marlins in the third inning with an apparent injury, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.

Suter was making his first start of the season Friday and allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out two in 2.1 innings to begin the game. However, he issued a walk and allowed a single in the bottom of the third inning and left the game with a trainer. The nature and severity of his injury aren't yet known.

Garcia (groin) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Garcia had been sidelined since April 24 due to a left groin strain, but he'll now return to the bullpen. He posted an 8.53 ERA and 1.42 WHIP in 6.1 innings to begin the season.

Fleming (2-3) was credited with his second victory in a win over the Angels on Thursday, allowing three earned runs on six hits and a walk. He struck out three.

Fleming got his 15 outs on a relatively efficient 67 pitches, with his one big mistake coming in the form of a Shohei Ohtani two-run home run that he allowed in his first inning on the hill. The versatile southpaw has yet to allow more than three earned runs in any one outing, and Thursday's performance leaves his ERA and WHIP at a solid 2.81 and 1.13, respectively.

Suero (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment Sunday with Triple-A Rochester, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports.

Suero has been out with a strained oblique since mid-April. He threw 22 pitches in a simulated game Thursday, so he shouldn't be too far from returning to the active roster if he gets through a rehab appearance without issues.

Hernandez (biceps) will throw 20 pitches of live batting practice Saturday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Hernandez left his first start of the year with biceps inflammation but has been making steady progress towards a return to the mound. He threw a 30-pitch bullpen session Tuesday and is now ready to face hitters. His pitch count still isn't anywhere close to a starter's workload, however, so he has some work left to do before returning to game action.

Mayers (1-2) was charged with a loss and a blown save as a result of giving up four runs on four hits over one-third of an inning against Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Mayers' first outing since returning from a brief stay on the COVID-19 list wasn't pretty, as he gave up a solo home run to Mike Zunino in the seventh inning and was charged with three more runs in the eighth after yielding a hit to each of the three batters he faced. The right-hander has been utilized in high-leverage situations throughout the campaign, and that doesn't figure to change in spite of the fact that Thursday's rough outing pushed his ERA all the way up to 4.91 through 15 appearances.
