Crawford was pulled from Wednesday's game against Toronto due to left hamstring tightness, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

Details regarding the severity of Crawford's injury likely won't come out until Thursday, per Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican. Until then, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day.

Wentz allowed five runs on nine hits across six innings and did not factor into the decision in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Mets. He walked one and struck out two.

With Detroit playing two games Wednesday, the team needed some length from Wentz in the opener, so he stayed out there despite getting tagged for three home runs. On a more positive note, he only needed 83 pitches to cover six innings, though his ERA did bump up to 6.67 for the season. Wentz should stick in the rotation with the likes of Beau Brieske (elbow), Matt Manning (foot), Casey Mize (elbow) and Tarik Skubal (elbow) all out at the moment. Wentz is tentatively set to start again early next week against Cleveland.

Taillon (groin) will be activated from the 15-day injured list and start Thursday against the Nationals, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Cubs manager David Ross dismissed the idea of a Thursday return for Taillon on Monday, but he seems to have changed his mind. The 31-year-old righty will skip a rehab stint and make his first appearance since landing on the injured list with a left groin strain April 20. Taillon holds a 4.50 ERA and 1.36 WHIP through 14 innings this season.

Wright will be placed on the 15-day injured list after injuring his right shoulder Wednesday, Paige Leckie of MLB.com reports.

This already marks the second time this season Wright has landed on the IL due to soreness in his right shoulder. He received a cortisone injection in January during his first battle with shoulder issues and ended up missing two turns through the rotation to start the year.

Dodd will be called up Thursday to start against the Marlins, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Dodd has already made two starts for Atlanta this season, but he was sent down to Triple-A Gwinnett shortly after allowing seven runs across 4.1 innings against San Diego. He's had slightly more success in the minors this season, although he gave up six runs in three innings during his most recent Triple-A appearance.

Wright left Wednesday's game against the Marlins due to right shoulder soreness.

A sore right shoulder kept Wright on the injured list to start the season, and it now seems the problem has returned. It's uncertain whether he will require another stint on the IL, but Wright's right shoulder is quickly starting to become a concern for fantasy managers.

Lugo (3-2) earned the win Wednesday, allowing one run on seven hits and two walks over six innings in a 7-1 win over the Reds. He struck out five.

It was a solid bounce-back outing for Lugo after he dropped his previous two outings. He held the Reds off the board until Spencer Steer's solo home run to lead off the sixth inning. Overall, Lugo has been solid in his first season with the Padres while transitioning out of the bullpen. He lowered his ERA to 3.21 with a 1.34 WHIP and 31:8 K:BB over six starts this season.

Nola did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing four runs on seven hits over 6.1 innings against the Dodgers. He struck out five.

Nola pitched well for most of Wednesday's outing, but his streak of three consecutive quality starts was snapped after Chris Taylor tripled in the seventh inning and scored on Freddie Freeman's sacrifice fly. While Nola sports an unsightly 4.64 ERA, a solid 1.13 WHIP and 33:9 K:BB would indicate that positive regression is coming. He's currently lined up to face the Blue Jays at home in his next outing.

Stone did not factor into the decision Wednesday, allowing five runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks over four innings against Philadelphia. He struck out one.

It certainly wasn't the debut Stone would have imagined, but he was spared the loss as the Dodgers overcame a 5-0 deficit to beat the Phillies. Stone featured a fastball that averaged 93 mph, countered by an 82-mph changeup that he threw 43 percent of the time. It's uncertain whether the 24-year-old right-hander will get another start right away in the big leagues. Manager Dave Roberts said prior to Wednesday's outing that the team would take it "one step at a time" with Stone, per Juan Toribio of MLB.com.

Wright was pulled early from his start Wednesday against the Marlins with an apparent injury, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

It's unclear at the moment what the specifics and severity of Wright's injury are, but the team will likely provide an update in the near future. The 27-year-old righty began the season on the injured list due to soreness in his right shoulder and has struggled since making his return April 11.
