  • Seth Corry SP | SF

    Giants' Seth Corry: Transferred to 60-day IL

    Corry (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list at High-A Eugene on Saturday.

    Corry is likely to be out for the remainder of the season after undergoing surgery on his left shoulder, so this is just a procedural move. He should be good to go fairly early on in 2023.

  • Eury Perez SP | MIA

    Marlins' Eury Perez: Keeps piling up Ks at Double-A

    Perez struck out nine while giving up two runs on two hits and one walk over 5.2 innings for Double-A Pensacola on Friday.

    The right-hander has yet to complete six innings in a start this season, but considering Perez just turned 19 a month ago, it's hard to criticize the Marlins for keeping a very careful eye on his workload. He's otherwise been dominating hitters 3-4 years older than him on average, and Perez leads the Southern League with 45 strikeouts against only eight walks through 28 innings. Miami will be in no rush to promote him, but if a spot opens up in the Triple-A rotation over the summer, it's wouldn't be a shock if Perez got the call.

  • Cardinals' Adam Wainwright: Starting Sunday

    Wainwright (illness) will start Sunday against the Giants, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

    Wainwright tested positive for COVID-19 last week but rejoined the Cardinals on Thursday and will take the mound in Sunday's series finale against the Giants. The right-hander threw a bullpen session, but it's possible that he has his workload monitored following his absence.

  • Max Fried SP | NYY

    Braves' Max Fried: No-decision against Friars

    Fried didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 11-6 loss to the Padres, giving up four runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out six.

    The southpaw was still the pitcher of record when Atlanta took a 6-4 lead in the bottom of the sixth inning, lining him up for his fifth straight win, but Will Smith served up a three-run blast to Ha-Seong Kim in the top of the seventh to flip the script. Fried has had a strong start to the year, posting a 3.14 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 41:4 K:BB through 43 innings.

  • Yu Darvish SP | SD

    Padres' Yu Darvish: Escapes with no-decision Friday

    Darvish didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 11-6 win over Atlanta, giving up five runs on nine hits and a walk over 5.2 innings while striking out four.

    The right-hander exited the game after 99 pitches (67 strikes) on the hook for his second loss of the year, but a rally by the Padres in the top of the seventh erased Darvish as the pitcher of record. The outing snapped a streak of four straight quality starts for the 35-year-old, and Darvish will carry a 4.62 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 32:11 K:BB through 39 innings into his next outing.

  • Kyle Gibson SP | BAL

    Phillies' Kyle Gibson: Hit hard in no-decision

    Gibson didn't factor into the decision during Friday's 12-10 victory over the Dodgers, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk with one strikeout in 3.2 innings.

    Gibson retired the first six Dodgers in order but fell apart thereafter, surrendering five runs on five hits and a walk in the third and an additional run in the fourth before being pulled. After recording 16 whiffs in his first two turns, the 34-year-old now has just 14 in the five ensuing starts with a 4.10 ERA and 1.21 WHIP on the season. He's tentatively scheduled to square off against San Diego on Thursday for his next start.

  • Dodgers' Walker Buehler: Surrenders five runs in no-decision

    Buehler registered a no-decision during Friday's 12-10 loss against the Phillies, allowing five runs on nine hits and one walk with three strikeouts in five innings.

    Buehler let two runs across in the second inning and three more in the fourth, all of them coming with two outs. The five runs surrendered nearly matches his total of seven through the 27-year-old's first 24.2 innings and caused his ERA to spike nearly one full run from 1.96 to 2.81. Additionally, Buehler has only struck out more than six batters once in seven starts after doing so 15 times last season. He's projected to start again early next week against Arizona.

  • Drew Smyly SP | CHC

    Cubs' Drew Smyly: Losing streak continues

    Smyly (1-4) took the loss during Friday's 4-3 defeat at the hands of the Diamondbacks, allowing four runs on 10 hits and one walk with four strikeouts in six innings.

    Smyly was able to get through Arizona's order clean the first and third time through, but was tagged for three runs on four hits in the third and an additional run on a walk and a hit in the fourth. The six innings is the longest the 32-year-old has gone this season though the 10 hits easily surpass a previous high of six as Smyly owns a high 1.35 WHIP despite a quality 3.64 ERA. He's currently slated to pitch again early next week for a third match with Pittsburgh.

  • Zach Davies SP | WAS

    Diamondbacks' Zach Davies: Whiffs six in win

    Davies (2-1) earned the win during Friday's 4-3 victory over the Cubs, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts in 5.2 innings.

    Davies pitched well aside from the third inning, when he surrendered all three runs on three hits, but Arizona clawed back from the early deficit to put the 29-year-old in line for the victory. Davies has been his typical solid yet unspectacular self this season, permitting no more than four earned runs in any of his seven starts, though a 4.27 FIP compared to a 3.57 ERA indicates he's been a bit lucky so far. He's scheduled to toe the rubber again next week against the Dodgers.

  • Kyle Freeland SP | COL

    Rockies' Kyle Freeland: Shelled in loss

    Freeland (1-4) took the loss during Friday's 14-10 defeat at the hands of the Royals, allowing eight runs (six earned) on 12 hits and two walks in 4.2 innings. He failed to record a strikeout.

    Freeland got himself down 2-0 two batters into the game before permitting four more runs in the third and two in the fifth. The 28-year-old had pitched well prior to Friday -- surrendering four runs in 23 innings across his last four turns -- though he failed to record a strikeout and only induced two swinging strikes. Freeland will look to get back on track against San Francisco early next week.
