  • Ryan Rolison RP | CHC

    Rockies' Ryan Rolison: Strong start to big-league career

    Rolison threw 2.1 scoreless innings while allowing one hit Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

    Rolison was called up May 11 to make his big-league debut and has since made three appearances out of the bullpen. He has only one strikeout across four innings, though he also has yet to allow an earned run. Rolison is pitching multiple innings in low-leverage spots, and he has the potential to be stretched out as a starter at some point this season.

  • Dodgers' Brusdar Graterol: Aiming for rehab stint in August

    Graterol (shoulder) has resumed throwing and is hoping to go on a minor-league rehab assignment sometime in August, per MLB.com.

    Graterol underwent right shoulder labrum surgery last November and only recently resumed throwing. The fireballing reliever still has a lengthy rehab ahead of him, but if he's able to participate in minor-league games in August, as hoped, he could join the Dodgers' bullpen for the final month of the regular season. That would set Graterol up to be a factor for Los Angeles during the postseason, where he has so far thrived -- through 24.1 career playoff innings, the right-hander holds a 1.85 ERA and 0.86 WHIP.

  • Giants' Jerar Encarnacion: Cleared to resume rehab assignment

    Encarnacion (hand) is expected to resume his rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento as soon as Tuesday, MLB.com reports.

    Encarnacion was re-evaluated Friday after experiencing soreness in his surgically repaired left hand, but he has since received clearance to return to game action in the minors. The 27-year-old previously made two appearances with Sacramento after starting his rehab assignment May 10 before being temporarily shut down. Encarnacion remains on track to return from the 60-day injured list May 26 when first eligible, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

  • Giants' Randy Rodriguez: Earns third win Sunday

    Rodriguez (3-0) picked up the win with a perfect inning in Sunday's 3-2 victory over the Athletics.

    Rodriguez threw seven of his 11 pitches for strikes, retiring the side in order during the eighth inning. The right-hander has posted seven consecutive scoreless outings, allowing just three hits with an 11:2 K:BB, two wins and a hold over seven innings in that span. Rodriguez leads all Giants pitchers with a 0.92 ERA and has recorded a 0.71 WHIP, 27:2 BB:K and three holds across 19.2 innings in 19 appearances this season.

  • Giants' LaMonte Wade: Hits second triple of 2025

    Wade went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

    Wade entered as a pinch hitter and lined a leadoff triple to right field in the eighth inning before scoring the game-tying run. The first baseman has shown signs of turning things around after a slow start to the season, going 4-for-11 with two runs scored, an RBI, a triple, a double and a 2:2 BB:K across 13 plate appearances in his last five games. Wade is now slashing .165/.266/.281 with 14 RBI, 11 runs scored, 10 extra-base hits -- including one home run -- and a 17:31 BB:K across 140 plate appearances so far this season.

  • Bryan Hoeing RP | SD

    Padres' Bryan Hoeing: Struggles again in rehab outing

    Hoeing (shoulder) allowed three runs (two earned) on three hits while striking out one batter in one inning for the ACL Padres in a minor-league rehab outing Saturday.

    This was Hoeing's second rehab appearance, and through 1.1 frames he's surrendered six runs (five earned). Nonetheless, the right-hander appears to be working his way back to the big-league bullpen after beginning the season on the IL due to a right shoulder strain. Given the rust Hoeing has shown so far and the fact that he went a week between his first two rehab outings, he'll likely need to make multiple additional minor-league appearances before he is reinstated from the injured list, which could happen in early June.

  • Joe Musgrove SP | SD

    Padres' Joe Musgrove: Set to increase throwing distance

    Musgrove (elbow) is expected to begin throwing from 90 feet during the upcoming week, per MLB.com.

    Musgrove continues to rehab from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in October. The veteran hurler has been traveling with San Diego and playing catch three times per week. Musgrove has thrown up to 75 feet so far, so the plan for him to move up to 90 feet represents a slight increase. The right-hander isn't likely to be able to pitch in games until next season.

  • David Peterson SP | CHC

    Mets' David Peterson: Quality start against NYY

    Peterson didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's loss to the Yankees, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks across six innings. He struck out four.

    Peterson started slowly, with leadoff hitter Paul Goldschmidt reaching on a throwing error in the first inning before back-to-back doubles by Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger yielded a pair of runs. The 29-year-old southpaw kept the Yankees from adding any more runs, but his efforts weren't enough to land a victory. Peterson has now logged three consecutive quality starts, though he's walked 11 batters in 18.0 innings during that stretch. On the year, Peterson has a 2.86 ERA over 50.1 innings. He's lined up to face the Dodgers next weekend.

  • Emilio Pagan RP | CIN

    Reds' Emilio Pagan: Escapes with save

    Pagan allowed two hits in a scoreless inning to earn a save against Cleveland on Sunday. He struck out two batters.

    Pagan coughed up a leadoff double to Bo Naylor and an infield single to Jose Ramirez after entering with a 3-1 lead. Pagan escaped unscathed after striking out the last two batters he faced. He's converted 12 of his 14 save chances and four straight. Pagan now owns a 3.52 ERA with a 26:6 K:BB through 23 frames this season.

  • Andrew Abbott SP | CIN

    Reds' Andrew Abbott: Improves to 3-0

    Abbott (3-0) yielded four hits and three walks over five shutout innings Sunday, striking out five and earning a win over the Guardians.

    Abbott kept Cleveland scoreless for five frames but needed to work around some danger, including a bases-loaded threat in the first inning. He tied his season high with 96 pitches and forced 16 swinging strikes, including eight with his fastball. Abbott has allowed fewer than two runs in six of his seven starts this season, resulting in a terrific 1.80 ERA and a 43:15 K:BB through 35 frames. His next matchup is expected to be at home against the Cubs.
