    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Dalton Rushing passed initial concussion tests but will be reevaluated prior to Tuesday’s game against the Twins.

    Rushing was lifted from Monday’s series opener for precautionary reasons after taking a foul tip off his mask in the opening frame. He’ll remain in concussion protocol and continue to be evaluated for at least another day or two. It wouldn’t be surprising if the Dodgers brought up another catcher as an emergency backup behind Chuckie Robinson for the rest of the series in Minnesota.
Yesavage must limit walks to boost fantasy outlook
Sidelined for "at least a few weeks," Trey Yesavage hits the injured list leaving fantasy managers to look for other options. Eric Samulski shares why the Blue Jays SP must improve command to be relied upon.

    Nolan McLean allowed five earned runs and eight hits in five innings against the Guardians on Thursday.

    McLean managed just a 22 percent whiff rate and threw seven different pitches as he was apparently struggling to find a combination he could command today -- only 54 of his 94 pitches were strikes. The Guardians stacked left-handed bats against him -- lefty batters have a .701 OPS against McLean as compared to a .549 by right-handers -- and Nathaniel Lowe was able to launch a three-run homer to make the box score look ugly. McLean will look to rebound against the Braves next week.

    Foster Griffin gave up five earned runs and two homers in his Guardians debut against the Mets on Thursday.

    Luis Torrens and Marcus Semien took him out of the park in the second inning and the Mets were able to tack on in both the third and fourth innings. Despite his last two starts being clunkers, Griffin is still 4-1 with a 2.84 ERA over his last seven starts, and this is a good situation to rack up some wins in if he can get hot. He’ll pitch against the Tigers next week.

    Ozzie Albies is not in the Braves’ starting lineup for Thursday evening’s tilt against the Marlins.

    There haven’t been any indications that Albies is dealing with any sort of injury, so it looks to be just a breather for the 29-year-old infielder. Mauricio Dubon will cover second base in his absence and will bat fifth against Marlins’ righty Janson Junk.

    Nick Loftin is absent from the Royals’ starting lineup for Thursday’s divisional showdown against the Twins.

    It looks to be nothing more than a routine day off for the versatile 27-year-old. Josh Rojas will man the hot corner in his absence and will bat eighth against Twins’ right-hander Bailey Ober.

    Sam Antonacci is not in the White Sox’ starting lineup for Thursday night’s battle against the Red Sox.

    Once again we see Antonacci sitting with a left-hander on the hill as he appears to be locked into a strong-side platoon role at the moment with the White Sox. Luisangel Acuna will start in his place in left field and will bat ninth against Red Sox’ southpaw Ranger Suarez on Thursday evening at Fenway Park.

    George Klassen will start for the Angels on Friday.

    The 24-year-old was overwhelmed when he got the call to the bigs in April and walked 10 in 4 2/3 innings. He’s carried a 3.96 ERA for Triple-A Salt Lake City with 88 strikeouts in 91 innings over the last few months. While we don’t necessarily think Klassen is a must-roster, he’ll be worth monitoring.

    Zach Neto went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Los Angeles’ 4-1 win over the Orioles on Thursday.

    Neto, mentioned as a potential trade-deadline prize, wound up not moving and was dropped down to the cleanup spot today. That part is not great news for his fantasy value, but it’s not like you’re dropping Neto. Hopefully this can spark him a bit as over his last 15 games this is his only homer and he’s hitting just .197/.258/.295 over that timespan.

    Yohel Pozo homered against the Angels in a loss on Thursday.

    It provided the only run for the Orioles in the game, somehow, despite them drawing eight walks against the Angels’ pitching staff. It was Pozo’s first homer of the season and the 29-year-old will pair with Carlos Narváez until Samuel Basallo is ready to return from the injured list.

    Samy Natera Jr. closed out the Orioles for his second save of the season on Thursday.

    The left-hander has been lights out this year, with 38 strikeouts and an 0.88 WHIP in 25 innings pitched over 21 appearances. Ben Joyce pitched yesterday and the Angels would probably rather have Natera available for heavy left-handed parts of the order, but Natera is pitching so well that he might be the man to roster if Joyce can’t establish himself as the closer after a long layoff. Even right-handers are hitting just .152/.220/.304 against Natera.

    Ryan Johnson walked five and allowed a homer, but gave up only two other hits as he went 4 2/3 innings against the Orioles and allowed just one run Thursday.

    All five walks happened in the first three innings, but the only extra-base hit the Orioles were able to muster against the Angels was Yohel Pozo’s solo homer. None of the underlying numbers look particularly good for Johnson -- 17 percent whiff rate, five hard-hit balls -- and he and his 7.11 ERA would be a tough player to trust against the Rangers next week.
