  • Brewers' Brian Fitzpatrick: Slated for MRI

    Fitzpatrick will undergo an MRI on his left elbow Saturday, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Fitzpatrick pitched a shutout sixth inning Friday against Colorado, but he felt a pop in his elbow while throwing warm-up pitches ahead of the seventh inning and was in a considerable amount of pain as he walked off the field. More about the severity of his injury will be known once the Brewers get his test results back, but there seems to be a good chance the 26-year-old southpaw will require a trip to the injured list.

  • Rockies' Hunter Goodman: Flashes power and speed Friday

    Goodman went 1-for-3 with a home run, a walk, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Brewers.

    For the second time this season, Goodman tallied a home run and a stolen base in the same contest. The 26-year-old has hit five homers over his past nine games and has now swiped a bag in consecutive contests for the first time in his career. For the year, he's slashing .245/.316/.514 with 16 long balls, 29 RBI, 38 runs scored and a career-high five steals across 244 plate appearances.

    Brewers' Trevor Megill: Earns win despite blown save

    Megill (1-2) earned the win after blowing a save in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Rockies, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk with one strikeout in the ninth inning.

    Megill was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning but coughed it up before escaping in a 5-5 tie, ultimately picking up the win after the Brewers scored four runs in the top of the 10th. It was a discouraging outing for the 32-year-old, as he entered the contest having converted four straight saves during a stretch of seven scoreless appearances dating back to May 15. For the year, he's 6-for-8 in save chances with a 4.70 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB across 23 innings.

  • Rockies' Antonio Senzatela: Blows save Friday

    Senzatela blew the save in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Brewers, allowing four runs (three earned) on four hits and no walks with four strikeouts over 1.2 innings.

    Senzatela was aiming for a two-inning save after striking out the side in the eighth, but he unraveled for four runs in the ninth and departed with a 5-3 deficit. The 31-year-old entered June with a case for the Rockies' closer role, but he's now been charged with blown saves in back-to-back appearances to open the month. For the year, he still owns an impressive 1.98 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB across 36.1 innings while tallying three saves and two holds.

  • Brandon Sproat SP | MIL

    Brewers' Brandon Sproat: Slow start in no-decision

    Sproat did not factor into the decision in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning win over the Rockies, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks with two strikeouts over five innings.

    Sproat gave up a run in each of the first three innings before finishing with two scoreless frames, throwing just 51 of 87 pitches for strikes and yielding 11 hard-hit balls. It was the 25-year-old's longest outing since logging 5.1 innings May 12, though he's now allowed at least three earned runs in five straight starts during that stretch. He'll take a 6.17 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 54:29 K:BB over 54 innings into a road matchup against the Athletics next week.

  • Spencer Miles RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Spencer Miles: Set for bulk-relief duty

    Miles will work as a bulk reliever during Saturday's game against the Orioles, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Miles gave up six earned runs in just three innings while working as a traditional starter last Sunday on the road in Baltimore, so the Blue Jays will move him back into a bulk-relief role for a rematch with the Orioles at Rogers Centre. Right-hander Braydon Fisher will open the game for Toronto, likely working the first inning or two before handing the ball over to Miles, who owns a 2.37 ERA and 1.05 WHIP as a reliever this season.

  • Ryan Feltner SP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Goes six strong in no-decision

    Feltner did not factor into the decision in Friday's 9-7 extra-inning loss to the Brewers, allowing one run on one hit and two walks with four strikeouts over six innings.

    Feltner allowed a run in the second inning but otherwise kept a dangerous Brewers lineup in check, throwing 51 of 81 pitches for strikes while generating eight whiffs. The outing gave the 29-year-old back-to-back quality starts, both of which have come at Coors Field, since returning from the injured list Saturday. He owns a 4.22 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 23:10 K:BB across 32 innings this season and lines up for another home matchup against the Cubs next week.

  • Brooks Lee 3B | MIN

    Twins' Brooks Lee: Goes deep in win

    Lee went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 5-3 win over the Royals.

    Lee drove in a run on a groundout in the third inning before tying the game with a solo shot in the sixth. The 25-year-old entered the contest just 2-for-15 to begin June, though he's now gone deep three times over his past six games after capping May with a two-homer performance Sunday. For the year, he's slashing .247/.300/.420 with nine long balls, 37 RBI, 27 runs scored and three steals across 238 plate appearances.

  • Braydon Fisher RP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Braydon Fisher: Working as opener Saturday

    Fisher will serve as Toronto's opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the Orioles, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

    Fisher has been one of the Blue Jays' most effective high-leverage arms this season, posting a 2.62 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across 34.1 innings. The Blue Jays will move him up to the first inning Saturday for what will be his fourth opener assignment of the season. Spencer Miles is likely to take over as a bulk reliever behind Fisher at some point during the first or second inning.

  • Travis Adams RP | MIN

    Twins' Travis Adams: Earns second save

    Adams earned the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Royals, allowing one run on two hits in the ninth inning. He did not record a walk or a strikeout.

    Adams was called upon with a three-run lead in the ninth inning and closed things out despite allowing a run. The 26-year-old has now converted both of his save chances this season, though he owns an unsightly 8.25 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and 13:5 K:BB across 12 innings with the Twins.
