  • Nationals' Mitchell Parker: Eight innings of one-hit ball

    Parker (3-1) earned the win against the Orioles on Tuesday, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out four across eight scoreless innings.

    Parker made it through eight innings while tossing 99 pitches (69 strikes), yielding only three baserunners while retiring the final 17 batters he faced. Parker has a quality start in all five appearances this season, and his efforts Tuesday lowered his ERA to 1.39, which is fourth best in the National League. The 25-year-old southpaw is slated for a home matchup against the Mets this weekend for his next start.

  • Dodgers' Tony Gonsolin: Set for rehab start Wednesday

    Gonsolin (back) is scheduled to start for Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

    Gonsolin tossed four innings in his last rehab outing with Oklahoma City last Tuesday, and Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters he wants the 30-year-old right-hander to pitch into the fifth inning Wednesday, per Moreno. Gonsolin has made three appearances during his rehab assignment, logging a 3.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB across nine innings. He's in the final stages of his recovery from a back injury that he suffered in early March.

  • Phillies' Cristopher Sanchez: Pulled with forearm injury

    Sanchez was removed from Tuesday's game against the Mets due to left forearm soreness, Corey Seidman of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

    Sanchez made it through only two innings before exiting the game, during which he gave up two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out two batters. It's currently unknown if his injury will prevent him from making his next start, though two days off in the next week for Philadelphia will give the 28-year-old southpaw extra time to recover.

    Cubs' Javier Assad: Exits rehab start early

    Assad (oblique) left before the start of the fifth inning in Tuesday's rehab start with Triple-A Iowa, Jason Kempf of the Iowa Cubs' broadcast team reports.

    Assad, who started the season on the 15-day injured list due to a left oblique strain, was warming up for the fifth inning before grabbing at his side. He immediately went to the dugout, and the team should have an update on the 27-year-old right-hander once he is thoroughly evaluated by trainers.

  • Pirates' Enmanuel Valdez: In Tuesday's lineup

    Valdez (shoulder) will start at first base and bat fourth Tuesday against the Angels.

  • Giants' LaMonte Wade: On bench versus lefty

    Wade is not in the Giants' lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

    Wade will get some rest Tuesday as the Brewers send lefty Jose Quintana to the mound. The first baseman started off the series against the Brewers on Monday going 1-for-3 with a walk. With the 31-year-old on the bench, David Villar has the start at first base and is batting seventh.

  • Giants' Mike Yastrzemski: Getting rest against lefty

    Yastrzemski is not in the Giants' lineup Tuesday against the Brewers.

    Yastrzemski will begin Tuesday's game on the bench with the Brewers sending southpaw Jose Quintana to the mound. The veteran outfielder also sat out Sunday's game against the Angels due to a left-hander starting, but he did play in Monday's series opener against the Brewers in which he reached base three times across four plate appearances. With the 34-year-old on the bench Tuesday, Luis Matos is starting in right field and batting sixth.
