MLB Player News

Wilson's (elbow) MRI results came back clean Thursday, Matt Ehalt of Yahoo Sports reports.

Wilson was scratched from Tuesday's rehab appearance due to tightness in his left elbow, but further testing brought good news for the southpaw. He is currently with the team, but he'll likely head back out to complete his rehab stint in the near future considering his MRI results.

Sborz was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Sborz will provide the Dodgers with extra relief arm ahead of Thursday's bullpen game. He has yet to appear for the big club this season but owns a 4.91 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 37:5 K:BB in 29.1 innings with Oklahoma City. Matt Beaty was sent back to the minors to free up a roster spot for Sborz.

Chargois was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Ken Gurnick of MLB.com reports.

Chargois will provide the Dodgers with an additional relief arm ahead of Thursday's scheduled bullpen game. In a pair of appearances with the big club this season, Chargois has allowed two runs in 1.2 innings of relief. Rich Hill (forearm) was sent to the injured list in a corresponding move.

Ponce de Leon was optioned to Triple-A Memphis on Thursday.

Ponce de Leon is no longer needed in the big-league rotation with Adam Wainwright (hamstring) back from the injured list, so he'll head back to the minors for the time being to remain stretched out. The right-hander owns an impressive 1.20 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 9.6 K/9 through three starts (15 innings) with the Cardinals this season, so he'll remain one of the team's top options should an opening arise in the rotation.

Alzolay was recalled from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday.

Alzolay will be available out of the bullpen for Thursday's series opener against the Mets and could make his big-league debut in long relief behind starter Tyler Chatwood, who isn't fully stretched out. In 32 innings with Iowa this season, the 24-year-old Alzolay owns a 3.09 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 46:6 K:BB. Tim Collins was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Brigham was optioned to Triple-A New Orleans on Thursday, Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald reports.

Brigham was sent back to the minors to free up a roster spot for Thursday's starter, Zac Gallen. The right-handed Brigham made six appearances during his time with the big club, compiling a 5.87 ERA, 1.83 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB in 7.2 innings during that stretch.

Floro (2-1) earned the win Wednesday against the Giants, firing two perfect innings during which he recorded one strikeout.

Floro replaced Rich Hill in the second inning after he exited early with left forearm discomfort. The 28-year-old kept the Giants at bay while getting plenty of run support from his hot-hitting offense. Through 27 appearances this season, Floro owns a 2.77 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 20:4 K:BB.

Pomeranz (2-7) lasted just 4.1 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Dodgers, allowing seven runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out four.

The Dodgers got to Pomeranz right away with a three-run homer from Chris Taylor in the first inning. Overall, Pomeranz surrendered three home runs, including two to Taylor and another to Kyle Garlick while yielding a season-worst tying nine hits. The southpaw has pitched past the fifth inning just once over 13 starts this season. He'll carry a 7.09 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 59:26 K:BB into a tough matchup against the Rockies on Monday.

Ponce de Leon allowed one walk and two hits while striking out six through six scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Marlins on Wednesday.

Ponce de Leon cruised through the Marlins, generating 10 swinging strikes on his way to a quality start. Ponce de Leon is certainly making a strong case to stay in the Cardinals rotation. The right-hander has a 1.20 ERA and a 9.6 K/9 through three starts this season.

Richards recorded eight strikeouts and gave up one run on four hits and three walks through 5.2 innings in a no-decision against the Cardinals on Wednesday.

RIchards didn't allow a hit until the fifth inning and seemed to be dominating until he unraveled in the sixth by allowing three hits and his only run. This was a nice rebound performance after allowing five runs in his last start. The 26-year old has a 3-7 record with a 3.54 ERA through 15 starts this season. Richards will make his next start Tuesday against the Nationals.
