MLB Player News

Lewicki's contract was selected by the Diamondbacks on Tuesday.

Lewicki last appeared in the majors in 2018 prior to undergoing Tommy John surgery. He'll return to a major-league bullpen in Arizona, but he likely won't play a prominent relief role.

Anderson is scheduled to start Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Given the Braves' lack of alternative starting options along with the fact that he limited an injury-ravaged Yankees lineup to one run over six innings in his MLB debut last week, there was little doubt Anderson would receive another turn through the rotation. Though he'll be making his first career road start Tuesday, Anderson will benefit from a matchup with another depleted lineup in the Red Sox, who are without slugger J.D. Martinez (hand).

Marquez (2-5) was tagged with the loss Monday against the Padres. He allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks while fanning seven across six innings.

Marquez pitched past the fifth inning for the first time since Aug. 15, but his winless streak extended to five outings regardless as he couldn't contain the red-hot Padres offense. Marquez has gone 0-4 with a 6.83 ERA in his last five outings.

Williams gave up five runs (three earned) on seven hits and two walks over four innings versus the Brewers on Monday. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.

Williams' struggles were not his alone, as the Pirates made two errors that led to runs in the second and fourth innings. The 28-year-old didn't help his own cause much, allowing eight or more baseunners for the fourth straight start. Williams has a 5.50 ERA, 1.54 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB through 34.1 innings this season. He'll look for better control Saturday versus the Reds.

DeSclafani (1-2) took the loss Monday as the Reds fell 7-5 to the Cardinals, surrendering seven runs on seven hits and four walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out three.

The right-hander had no feel for the strike zone after returning from the paternity list over the weekend, throwing only 48 of 92 pitches for strikes. When he did get the ball over the plate, bad things tended to happen -- DeSclafani was scored upon in all four of his frames, and his last pitch left the yard for a grand slam. The disastrous outing inflated his ERA by two whole runs, and he'll take a rough 7.71 mark into his next start Saturday in Pittsburgh.

Fried (6-0) allowed two runs on two walks and five hits over five innings Monday, striking out five and picking up the win over Boston.

Fried was a bit shaky to start the game, allowing a run in the first and third innings before settling in. He's a perfect 6-0 on the season and is currently riding a four-start win streak. The 26-year-old owns a stellar 1.60 ERA and 43:14 K:BB across 45 innings this year. Fried will take on the Nationals at home Saturday.

DeGrom (2-1) took the loss Monday against the Marlins, allowing four runs (one earned) on six hits and two walks across six innings pitched. He struck out nine.

It was looking like the defending National League Cy Young winner would cruise to 3-0 as he allowed just two hits in five scoreless innings to start the outing. However a solo homer by Garrett Cooper to start the sixth, followed by a fielding error and three more hits, led to a four-run inning for the Marlins. All in all, the right-hander was charged with just one earned run, though he took his first loss of the campaign. DeGrom will look to get back in win column when he takes the hill Sunday against the Phillies.

Clevinger will make his debut with the Padres either Thursday or Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.

Clevinger started Wednesday in his final outing for Cleveland, and he'll have a layoff that's slightly longer than normal before debuting for the Padres. The right-hander has made just four starts this year after missing time due to a violation of team rules. He carries a 3.18 ERA and 1.37 WHIP over 22.2 innings, and his strikeout rate is down from where it was a year ago.

Rogers (1-0) picked up the win against the Mets on Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks across five innings pitched. He struck out five.

After five walks prevented Rogers from working past the fourth inning in his first start, the left-hander issued just two free passes in Monday's outing. Rogers spotted the Mets a 2-0 lead in the third and it was looking like he was going to be on the hook for a loss for a lot of the game. Fortunately for the rookie, Miami rallied for four runs off Jacob deGrom in the top of the sixth to take the lead. Alex Vesia replaced Rogers to start the sixth and the Marlins' bullpen held the lead to get Rogers his first career victory. Rogers is slated to make his next start Sunday against the Rays.

Woodruff was placed on the paternity list Monday.

He must miss the next team game, but no more than three games, so Woodruff will be activated prior to his next scheduled start this weekend against Cleveland.
