    Pirates placed LHP Evan Sisk on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 1, with left elbow inflammation.

    Sisk hits the shelf after posting a strong 2.23 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 43/13 K/BB ratio across 36 1/3 innings for the Pirates since mid-April. No word yet regarding how much time he’ll miss.

    With Hunter Barco going back to the minors, Sisk will come up to be a multi-inning left-hander reliever for the Piraes. He came to the Pirates at the trade deadline last year as part of the Bailey Falter trade. The 28-year-old had a 3.57 ERA and a 25/10 K/BB ratio in 17 2/3 MLB innings and had allowed just one earned run in 7 2/3 innings at Triple-A with a 14/7 K/BB ratio.

    Sisk came to the Pirates at the trade deadline last year as part of the Bailey Falter trade. The 28-year-old had a 3.57 ERA and a 25/10 K/BB ratio in 17 2/3 MLB innings. He will pitch for the Pirates at some point this season.
  • PIT Relief Pitcher #51
    The 28-year-old Sisk loses his spot even though he had a 3.00 ERA in nine innings since his last recall. It suggests he won’t be carried on the 40-man roster this winter.
  • PIT Relief Pitcher #51
    Sisk made four appearances for the Pirates, giving up three runs in 3 1/3 innings. He did, however, get a win against the Blue Jays for pitching a scoreless inning Monday.
  • PIT Relief Pitcher
    Sisk was acquired from the Royals in the deal for Bailey Falter, and the 28-year-old will have a chance to make his debut with the Pirates. He’s put up impressive numbers in the minors, and was able to work around five walks in 5 1/3 innings with Kansas City in his previous stint to post a 1.69 ERA in that timeframe.
  • PIT Relief Pitcher
    Sisk has made just five appearances out of the Royals’ bullpen this season, registering a 1.69 ERA, a troublesome 1.88 WHIP and an 11/5 K/BB ratio over 5 1/3 innings of work. Given the current state of the Pirates’ bullpen, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Sisk earn an immediate opportunity there.
  • KC Relief Pitcher
    Sisk worked in back-to-back games, and while he’s pitched exceptionally with a 1.69 ERA and 11 strikeouts over 5 1/3 innings in his limited time with the Royals, he’ll head to Triple-A to provide a fresh arm for the Kansas City bullpen. Expect Sisk to be back up in the summer, if not sooner.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #47
    Sisk provides Kansas City with some extra relief depth with both Cole Ragans (groin) and Seth Lugo (finger) hitting the injured list ahead of Saturday’s game against the Cardinals. The 28-year-old lefty has tossed 2 1/3 scoreless frames in a pair of relief appearances this season at the highest level.
  • KC Relief Pitcher
    The 28-year-old southpaw made two appearances during his time with the Royals, allowing two hits and a pair of walks over two scoreless innings. He’ll almost assuredly get another opportunity with the big league club before the summer is through. Jonathan Bowlan was recalled from Triple-A in a corresponding move on Friday.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #47
    Sisk fortifies Kansas City’s left-handed relief depth with Sam Long (elbow) landing on the injured list ahead of Sunday’s game against the Guardians. The 27-year-old figures to operate in middle relief and will be making his big-league debut when he gets into a game.

    Justin Foscue went 2-for-3 with a homer, two RBI and a walk Thursday as the Rangers held off the Angels 7-6.

    Texas coughed up a 6-1 lead in the seventh but won the game on Wyatt Langford’s single in the bottom of the ninth. Foscue homered off Reid Detmers in the fourth and doubled in a run in the sixth. Both hits were off lefties, as is typical. He’s now hitting .367/.466/.796 in 49 at-bats against southpaws, compared to .216/.255/.353 in 51 at-bats versus righties. As a result, he’ll likely be on the bench Friday against Houston’s Hunter Brown.

    Nathan Eovaldi surrendered four runs — three earned — in six-plus innings and struck out 10 in a no-decision Thursday.

    Eovaldi had a 6-1 lead after six, but the seventh started with a catcher interference, a walk and a single, at which point Eovaldi exited. Peyton Grey came in and allowed all three runners to score while getting two outs. Tyler Alexander entered then and allowed both of Grey’s runners to score, making it a 6-6 game. Eovaldi still ends the first half on a four-game winning streak. He’s 9-7 with a 4.04 ERA overall. The 10 strikeouts were a season high. He fanned nine in each of his three previous starts.

    Reid Detmers gave up five runs and three homers in four innings Thursday against the Rangers.

    Detmers served up homers to Brandon Nimmo in the first, Ezequiel Duran in the third and Justin Foscue in the fourth. All were hit at 104 mph, oddly enough. We’ll feel better about Detmers as a fantasy starter if and when he gets out of Anaheim. He closes out the first half with a 3-6 record and a 4.19 ERA despite an excellent 123/35 K/BB in 108 2/3 innings.

    Kirby Yates dropped to 0-4 after giving up a run in the ninth Thursday against the Rangers.

    Yates came into a tie game in the ninth and gave up a groundball single, a sac bunt and then a long single off the wall in left to end the game. It was a tough break for a reliever who has been very good of late with little to show for it. It was the first run he’d allowed since June 22 and the first earned run since June 8. He’s still a candidate for saves in the Angels’ pen, though he has earned just two so far.

    Nolan Schanuel went 4-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a walk Thursday versus the Rangers.

    He had only one hard-hit ball, but Schanuel sent everything to the right spots tonight. It’s his second four-hit game as a major leaguer, with the other coming last July against the Mets. He’s hitting an adequate .269/.339/.393 on the season, but he still isn’t showing much in the way of upside.

    Jake Bauers clobbered a three-run homer on Thursday night, powering the Brewers to an 8-4 victory over the Cardinals.

    Bauers broke the game wide open with his 391-foot (110.3-mph EV) three-run shot off of Andre Pallante in the third inning, increasing the Brewers’ edge to 6-0. His blast would prove to be the difference in the ballgame. Bauers also singled, walked and struck out twice in the ballgame, finishing the evening 2-for-4. On the season, he’s now slashing .268/.368/.505 with 17 long balls, 57 RBI and five stolen bases.

    Brice Turang went 2-for-5 with a homer and two RBI on Thursday night as the Brewers dispatched of the Cardinals.

    Turang came through with an RBI single in the third inning that increased the Brewers’ lead to 3-0. He then rode home on Jake Bauers’ three-run shot. The 26-year-old second baseman then went deep himself in the seventh inning with a 419-foot (103.4-mph EV) solo shot off of Luis Gastelum in the seventh that increased the Brewers’ lead to 7-4. Turang is enjoying a great first half, slashing .269/.361/.464 with 13 homers, 56 RBI and 15 stolen bases in 401 plate appearances.

    Logan Henderson defeated the Cardinals in his return from the injured list on Thursday, surrendering three runs on just three hits over his 5 1/3 innings of work.

    Henderson struck out four batters on the evening while allowing only one base on balls. He allowed a run in the fourth inning on an RBI single off the bat of Lars Nootbaar. Henderson then ran into trouble in the sixth, exiting with two men on and one out — and both inherited runners immediately scored on a three-run blast by Jordan Walker. Henderson generated eight whiffs on 76 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 28 percent. The 24-year-old hurler finishes the first half with a 3-1 record, 3.18 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and a 34/7 K/BB ratio across 28 1/3 innings through his first six starts. As long as he stays healthy, he should have plenty of mixed league viability over the second half of the season.

    Jordan Walker went 1-for-4 and swatted a three-run homer on Thursday night, but it wasn’t enough to power the Cardinals past the visiting Brewers.

    Walker turned a five-run deficit into a two-run deficit with his 406-foot (106.5-mph EV) three-run blast off of Chad Patrick in the sixth inning. That would be as close as they would get though. It was also Walker’s only hit in four at-bats in the contest. The All-Star slugger is enjoying an unbelievable first half, slashing .294/.354/.539 with 22 homers, 73 RBI and 12 stolen bases.

    Andre Pallante was knocked around in a losing effort against the Brewers on Thursday night, giving up six runs on eight hits over his five frames.

    Pallante also issued a pair of walks in the ballgame while striking out two. The Brewers scratched out a pair of runs against him in the second inning, then broke it open with a four-run third inning capped off by a three-run blast off the bat of Jake Bauers. Pallante generated seven swings and misses on 97 pitches on the night, posting an uninspiring CSW of 23 percent. He finishes a strong first half with a 10-6 record, 3.96 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 72/29 K/BB ratio over 100 innings in his first 18 starts.
