MLB Player News

Kershaw (pelvis) could be ready to start next Sunday's game in San Francisco, J.P. Hoornstra of the Los Angeles Daily News reports.

The hope is that Kershaw will not need a second rehab start after this Sunday's game in Rancho Cucamonga. Per Hoornstra, the earliest Kershaw would return for the Dodgers would be June 12 on the road against the Giants.

Mahle didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 10-8 loss to the Nationals, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.

The right-hander tossed 63 of 104 pitches for strikes en route to his fourth quality start in his last five outings, but a late meltdown by the Cincinnati bullpen cost Mahle his third win of the year. Over that five-start stretch, he sports a 4.34 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 32:11 K:BB through 29 innings as Mahle begins to put a shaky start to the campaign behind him.

Gutierrez was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right forearm soreness.

The news comes after Gutierrez had moved back into a bullpen role earlier this week, so there isn't much fantasy fallout. Jared Solomon was recalled from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move.

Clevinger (triceps) was activated from the injured list ahead of his start Sunday against the Brewers, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

His most recent big-league start (May 17) was his best start of the season, as he struck out five over five scoreless innings of one-hit ball in Philadelphia. Clevinger's triceps strain didn't sideline him long enough for him to need a rehab start.

Garrett is starting Sunday's game against the Giants.

He was on the taxi squad and is listed as the confirmed starter. Garrett dealt with a shoulder impingement in early May and gave up two earned runs while striking out eight over 7.2 innings in his two most recent starts at Triple-A. The Marlins will likely give Garrett every chance to prove he belongs in the rotation going forward, especially with Max Meyer (elbow) on the shelf at Triple-A.

Oviedo (0-1) took the loss in the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Cubs, giving up three runs on eight hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out five.

Making his first appearance of the season in the big leagues, Oviedo tossed 103 pitches (67 strikes) but allowed a steady stream of baserunners, as Chicago had runners in scoring position in every inning. The right-hander may have pitched well enough to stick around for another turn through the rotation, but Steven Matz (shoulder) isn't far from rejoining the roster.

Lopez allowed four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six across seven innings against San Francisco on Saturday. He did not factor in the decision.

Lopez allowed a total of four runs between the third and fourth innings, but he stuck around for three more frames and kept the Giants off the scoreboard while Miami mounted a comeback. The right-hander finished with his fourth no-decision over his past five starts, tossing a season-high 110 pitches. Lopez will carry a 2.18 ERA into his next outing, which is lined up to come at home against Washington next week.

Webb did not factor in the decision against Miami on Saturday. He pitched 4.2 innings, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out six.

Webb looked to be cruising to a win through four innings, as he held the Marlins without a run while San Francisco built a 4-0 lead. However, things fell apart for the right-hander in the fifth, when he gave up three straight hits to start the frame and was pulled before he could notch the third out. This was the first time since April 19 that Webb failed to complete five innings, but he avoided taking his first loss since that date. He'll look for better results in a tough matchup at home against the Dodgers next week.

Ashby (1-4) took the loss against San Diego on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits while striking out nine over six innings.

Ashby had his stuff mostly working in the contest, as he registered 16 swinging strikes and struck out nine batters. However, he was hounded by Padres first baseman Jake Cronenworth, who notched a run-scoring double in the third inning and a two-run homer in the fifth. Ashby has fanned 21 batters across 12 innings over his past two starts, and he has tossed a season-high six frames in each appearance. He is settling in as a full-time starter and is consequently seeing his fantasy stock soar. Ashby is lined up to make his next start in Washington next week.

Gore (4-1) earned the win against Milwaukee on Saturday, pitching six scoreless innings during which he allowed three hits and three walks while striking out 10.

Gore was dominant in the start, tying his career high with 10 strikeouts and inducing 14 swings-and-misses. The rookie threw 108 pitches -- his most as a big-leaguer -- and didn't allow any extra-base hits. After seeing his prospect stock drop last season, Gore has turned things around in his first opportunity in the majors, logging a 1.50 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 57:17 K:BB across 48 innings. The early Rookie of the Year favorite is expected to make his next start at home against Colorado next weekend.
