    Mets' Brandon Nimmo: Monster performance in win

    Nimmo went 4-for-6 with two home runs, a double, nine RBI and four runs scored in Monday's 19-5 win against the Nationals.

    With this career day, Nimmo tied Carlos Delgado for most single-game RBI in Mets franchise history at nine. Nimmo opened by slugging a three-run homer off reliever Colin Poche in the sixth inning. He returned in the seventh inning to crack the second grand slam of his career and then laced a two-run double in the eighth. The New York outfielder is now slashing .218/.261/.418 across 119 plate appearances.

  • Noah Davis SP | PIT

    Dodgers' Noah Davis: Called up Monday

    Davis was called up from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Davis will return to the major-league roster after being sent down Saturday, replacing Tyler Glasnow (shoulder), who was placed on the 15-day injured list Monday. Davis has appeared in three games with Los Angeles this season, giving up three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out three batters over 2.2 innings. The right-hander will serve as an additional option out of the bullpen for the Dodgers and it's unclear at this point who will replace Glasnow in the starting rotation.

  • Mets' Griffin Canning: Cruises to fourth win

    Canning (4-1) earned the win Monday at Washington, allowing four hits and three walks over five scoreless innings. He struck out five.

    The 28-year-old right-hander continued his resurgent season with this 90-pitch performance, generating 10 whiffs. Canning has been especially stingy of late, conceding just two runs over his last 16 innings (1.13 ERA) with a 1.25 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB. Overall, he's pitched to a 2.61 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB across 31 innings. Canning is currently scheduled to make his next start at St. Louis this weekend.

  • Tyler Glasnow SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Tyler Glasnow: Officially placed on IL

    Glasnow has been placed on the 15-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    The Dodgers announced earlier Monday that a trip to the injured list appeared likely for Glasnow, and the club made the move official a short time later. Noah Davis was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding move, though Ben Casparius appears to be one of the top candidates to replace Glasnow in the starting rotation.

  • Nationals' Trevor Williams: Clobbered in loss

    Williams (1-3) took the loss Monday against the Mets, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks over 5.1 innings. He struck out five.

    The Washington right-hander entered this contest on a roll, yielding just two runs across his previous 10 innings. After allowing three runs through the first five frames, Williams unraveled in the sixth inning and was pulled after walking consecutive batters. Colin Poche relieved Williams and conceded a three-run homer to Brandon Nimmo to tag two additional runs on the starter. Williams now sports an unsightly 5.70 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 26:9 K:BB across 30 innings. He currently lines up to make his next start against the Reds in Cincinnati this weekend.

  • Robert Calaz CF | COL

    Rockies' Robert Calaz: Out with injury

    Single-A Fresno placed Calaz on its 7-day injured list April 7 due to an unspecified injury.

    Calaz played just one game for Fresno before landing on the shelf a few days later. Regarded as one of the top prospects in the lower levels of the Colorado system, the 19-year-old Calaz hit .327 with two home runs and three stolen bases in 13 games for Fresno last season.

  • Blake Treinen RP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Treinen: Still shut down from throwing

    Treinen (forearm) has not yet been cleared to resume throwing, Matthew Moreno of DodgerBlue.com reports.

    Manager Dave Roberts stated Monday that the club isn't in any hurry to move Treinen along before he's ready, and he'll remain shut down for an undisclosed period of time. Treinen was officially placed on the 15-day injured list April 19 with right forearm tightness and is eligible to return later in the week, though it appears he'll miss more than the minimum while on the mend.

  • Nick Martini DH | COL

    Rockies' Nick Martini: On bench vs. righty

    Martini is out of the lineup for Monday's game against Atlanta.

    The left-handed-hitting Martini was on the bench for three of the past four games. with all three absences coming while the Rockies went up against left-handed pitching. Right-hander Bryce Elder is on the mound for Atlanta on Monday, but Martini will still find himself out of the starting nine. Even though the recent demotion of Zac Veen to Triple-A Albuquerque has eased the logjam in the corner outfield, Martini still looks like he may have to settle for a part-time role while he's supplied a meager .606 OPS so far this season.

  • Jake Fraley RF | TB

    Reds' Jake Fraley: Dealing with quad injury

    Fraley was a late scratch from Monday's lineup against the Cardinals due to a right quadriceps contusion, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

    Fraley was originally slated to start in right field Monday, but he was removed from the lineup with an undisclosed injury, which is now understood to be a quadriceps issue. The outfielder can be considered day-to-day for the time being and Blake Dunn would stand to see an increase in workload if Fraley is forced to miss any action moving forward.

  • Blake Snell SP | LAD

    Dodgers' Blake Snell: Receives injection as expected

    Snell received an injection to assist in treating his left shoulder inflammation Monday, Doug McKain of Dodgers Nation reports.

    This isn't a significant update on the southpaw, who was expected to receive an injection after dealing with inflammation in his left shoulder. However, it'll be worth keeping a close eye on how Snell feels in the days after the injection, as there isn't currently a firm timetable on when he'll be cleared to resume throwing.
