  • Logan Webb SP | SF

    Giants' Logan Webb: Sunday's game postponed

    Webb and the Giants won't play Sunday against the Tigers after the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Jason Beck of MLB.com reports.

    Webb was slated to make his fourth start of the season Sunday, but the game was called off following a five-hour delay. The Giants haven't revealed their updated pitching plans for their three-game series in Miami early next week, but Webb did some throwing work in the outfield Sunday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him pitch against the Marlins at some point.

  • Patrick Corbin SP | TOR

    Nationals' Patrick Corbin: Logs quality start

    Corbin did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing four runs (two earned) on five hits and zero walks over six innings against the Guardians. He struck out four.

    All of the damage against Corbin came in the fourth inning. He allowed three doubles in the frame, and the Guardians took advantage of two National errors to score four runs, though just two were charged to Corbin. He was spared another loss, however, when Washington rallied to take a 7-6 lead in the eighth inning. The 33-year-old Corbin is 1-2 through 20 innings this season with a 6.30 ERA and a 1.75 WHIP.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Braves' Max Fried: Rejoining rotation Monday

    Manager Brian Snitker said Fried (hamstring) will be activated from the 15-day injured list to start Monday against the Padres, Kelly Crull of Bally Sports South reports.

    The left-hander has been on the shelf since he suffered the hamstring strain during his Opening Day start, and he'll rejoin Atlanta's rotation Monday without making any rehab outings. Given the lack of buildup since suffering the injury, Fried may face some workload limitations in his first couple starts back from the injured list.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Nearing rehab assignment

    Senzatela (knee) will pitch in an extended spring training game Tuesday, after which the Rockies will decide if he's ready for a minor-league rehab assignment, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.

    The 28-year-old threw two frames in an extended spring game last week, and he'll likely pitch a bit longer Tuesday before potentially embarking on a rehab assignment. Senzatela is coming off August surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, so he'll likely require multiple starts in the minors before rejoining the Rockies.

  • Kyle Hendricks SP | LAA

    Cubs' Kyle Hendricks: Throwing sim game Monday

    Hendricks (shoulder) is scheduled to throw up to 35 pitches in a simulated game in Arizona on Monday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

    Hendricks threw a bullpen session Saturday and now will progress to the simulated contest. The right-hander continues to work his way back from a shoulder strain that has sidelined him to begin the 2023 season, and if all goes well for Hendricks in Arizona, it seems likely that he could begin a rehab assignment.

  • Noah Davis SP | PIT

    Rockies' Noah Davis: Recalled for start against SEA

    Davis was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque by the Rockies on Sunday, Patrick Lyons of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Davis is being recalled from the Isotopes to make a start against the Mariners on Sunday with German Marquez (forearm) on the injured list. The Rockies sent down Nolan Jones in a corresponding move. Davis should be stretched out for the start, but his lack of swing-and-miss stuff makes him a poor fantasy option in the short- and long-term.

  • Ryne Nelson SP | ARI

    Diamondbacks' Ryne Nelson: Records best start of young career

    Nelson did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing one run on five hits and zero walks over six innings against the Marlins. He struck out four.

    Nelson pitched a gem, showing why Arizona picked him in the second round of the 2019 draft. The 25-year-old showed the command of a seasoned veteran, as this was the first start of his career in which he did not allow a walk. The Nevada native's next assignment will be a major test, as he'll be facing the star-studded Padres lineup at home in a few days.

  • Zach Davies SP | WAS

    Diamondbacks' Zach Davies: Several weeks away

    Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Saturday that Davies (oblique) has more than a Grade 1 strain is expected to miss "several weeks."

    Grade 1 strains are the least severe, but the Diamondbacks will need to cover multiple starts while Davies mends. Drey Jameson filled in for Davies last Wednesday and is expected to retain that fill-in role for the time being.

  • Marlins' Braxton Garrett: Pitches well despite no-decision

    Garrett did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over 5.2 innings against Arizona. He struck out five.

    Garrett allowed minimal damage in his second start of the season. This performance was a steady improvement over the 25-year-old southpaw's start last week against the Mets, when he allowed nine hits in just 4.2 innings. The jury is still out on the Alabama native, as he needs to show consistent success in order to keep getting starting opportunities.

  • Reds' Graham Ashcraft: Tosses six shutout innings in win

    Ashcraft (2-0) earned the win Saturday, allowing zero runs on four hits and four walks over six innings against Philadelphia. He struck out four.

    Ashcraft is on a roll to start the season. The 25-year-old righty has given up just three runs in 19 innings pitched, good for a 1.42 ERA. Additionally, the Alabama native has a 1.16 WHIP and has given up just one home run thus far.
