  • Justin Wilson RP | BOS

    Reds' Justin Wilson: X-rays negative

    X-rays on Wilson's right knee came back negative Tuesday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Wilson made an early exit from his relief appearance in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Padres after taking a line drive off the inside of his right knee, but he appears to have escaped the incident without suffering any major damage. He likely won't pitch for a few days as he deals with lingering soreness, but a trip to the injured list doesn't seem necessary.

  • Connor Joe RF | SEA

    Pirates' Connor Joe: Launches third homer

    Joe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Oakland.

    Joe tagged Alex Wood for a solo shot in the first inning, marking his third long ball in 100 plate appearances this season. He's on pace to exceed his career-high home run total of 11, which he achieved in 472 plate appearances last season. During his last five games, Joe is batting 6-for-19 (.316) with a pair of doubles and Tuesday's home run.

  • Mitch Keller SP | PIT

    Pirates' Mitch Keller: Middling once again

    Keller (2-3) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks over five innings against the A's. He struck out seven.

    Although Keller punched out seven batters for a second consecutive outing, he was tagged for a trio of runs, including a solo homer by JJ Bleday. After entering the 2024 season with relatively high expectations, Keller has fallen to a 5.18 ERA through 40.0 innings and has surrendered five or more hits in all seven starts. He's scheduled for a home start against the Angels on Monday.

  • Sixto Sanchez SP | MIA

    Marlins' Sixto Sanchez: Rough opening frame

    Sanchez did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing five runs on seven hits over four innings against the Rockies. He struck out three.

    The Rockies jumped on Sanchez quickly Tuesday, scoring five times in the opening inning, with three coming on an Elehuris Montero home run. However, Sanchez would settle in and hold the Rockies scoreless over his subsequent three innings as the Marlins' opener, allowing just one additional hit. It's been a shaky start to the season overall for the 25-year-old right-hander -- Sanchez's ERA is up to 8.36 with a 1.71 WHIP and 9:4 K:BB across 11 innings.

  • Justin Wilson RP | BOS

    Reds' Justin Wilson: Exits with knee injury

    Wilson was removed from Tuesday's game against the Padres with an apparent knee injury, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Wilson took a line drive off the inside of his right knee during the eighth inning of Tuesday's contest and was immediately removed from the game. The severity of his injury remains unclear, but the Reds should provide an update once more is known.

  • Ryan Feltner SP | COL

    Rockies' Ryan Feltner: Stumbles in ninth inning Tuesday

    Feltner did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits over eight innings. He struck out three.

    Felter was dominant for most of Tuesday's outing, blanking the Marlins through eight frames. With the Rockies up 5-0, the 27-year-old Feltner started the ninth inning, eyeing the first complete game of his career. However, he was pulled after allowing the first three batters to reach in the inning before the bullpen imploded, ultimately allowing the Marlins to tie the game and costing Feltner a chance at a win. Despite the disappointing finish, it was an encouraging outing for Feltner overall after he allowed 10 runs over 9.1 innings in his previous two starts. He's 1-2 on the season with a 5.13 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 33:10 K:BB through six starts (33.1 innings).

  • Diamondbacks' Jordan Montgomery: Scratched after delay

    Montgomery will not start Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

    The beginning of Tuesday's contest was delayed roughly two hours after a bee colony formed on the net behind home plate, and the lengthy delay will cause Montgomery to sit down while Brandon Hughes starts in a bullpen game. Montgomery's next start will likely be pushed back to Wednesday.

  • Mike Tauchman CF | NYM

    Cubs' Mike Tauchman: Doubles, scores in loss

    Tauchman went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Mets.

    Tauchman had half of Chicago's hits in the sluggish loss, pushing his season average up to .307 in the process. With Seiya Suzuki (oblique) and Cody Bellinger (ribs) both on the injured list, Tauchman has seen plenty of playing time recently, and the veteran has responded. He should remain a solid short-term fantasy asset, though his long-term outlook is a bit murkier, as it depends on how quickly the other outfielders are able to return to the lineup.

  • Luis Patino RP | SD

    Padres' Luis Patino: Undergoes Tommy John surgery

    Patino underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Tuesday, Emily Waldon of Baseball America reports.

    Patino initially landed on the injured list during spring training due to right elbow inflammation, and he'll now be sidelined until midway through the 2025 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. The 24-year-old right-hander owns a 5.02 ERA and 1.62 WHIP through 136.1 career big-league innings.

  • Jorge Lopez RP | WAS

    Mets' Jorge Lopez: Picks up second save

    Lopez gave up one run on one hit in the ninth inning Tuesday to record his second save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Cubs.

    Edwin Diaz had pitched each of the last two days, and after Adam Ottavino worked the eighth inning, Lopez got the call in the ninth to protect a three-run lead. The 31-year-old righty also has three holds in his 14 appearances as he begins to see more consistent high-leverage usage, and he's earned the trust of manager Carlos Mendoza with a 1.88 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB through 14.1 innings.
