Hurston Waldrep tagged for seven runs by Pirates

Apparently, Prielipp had the blister in his previous start, but it ripped and began to bleed in the fourth inning on Thursday. That would explain why Prielipp, who had gotten nine of the first ten batters out, ran into big-time trouble in the fourth inning and allowed two home runs, which accounted for all of the runs he allowed. With the All-Star break coming, he may only miss one start, but the Twins could also be cautious with his innings totals and slow play his return a bit.

Harris will start at first base against the White Sox on Thursday after Willson Contreras fouled a ball off of his foot on Wednesday and had to leave the game. There is no word yet on whether or not Contreras will need to go on the injured list, but, for one day at least, Harris will take his place at first base.

Suarez was hurt in his start on Sunday, and the Red Sox wanted to wait to see if he was healthy enough to pitch this week. Unfortunately, he will not make his start on Saturday and will also not be able to pitch in the All-Star Game. Perhaps his teammate Sonny Gray will be chosen to take his place. With the week off ahead of him, Suarez may not miss more than a start or two. Brayan Bello could be an option to start on Saturday.

The 23-year-old pitching prospect will be able to return in about 10-12 months since he did not have a full, traditional Tommy John surgery. Stephan had a 3.44 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, and 49/23 K/BB ratio across 55 innings for Double-A Akron this season. He should be able to make a few starts in Double-A in 2027 to finish the season.

Olida had a .200/.294/.200 slash line in four games at Triple-A for the Mets are being claimed off waivers from the Giants late in June.

Hammer has a 2.16 ERA in 33 1/3 innings at Triple-A this year. The 28-year-old will make his MLB debut if/when he gets into a game.

Myers threw two innings on Wednesday, allowing one run on three hits while striking out one and walking one. The Mets will bring up a fresh arm from the bullpen for the weekend.

Davis has a 4.63 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 20/13 K/BB ratio across 23 1/3 innings with the White Sox so far this season.

We wish the best for Trevor and his family. The right-hander has a 3.31 ERA in 35 1/3 innings out of the bullpen for the White Sox this season.

With a day game after a night game and a left-handed pitcher on the mound, the Royals will leave their talented rookie on the bench on Thursday. While Jensen is not in a strict platoon, the Royals do tend to find days off for him against left-handed pitching, which dampens his fantasy ceiling a bit. He is still worth rostering in one catcher formats given his recent performances. Starling Marte will DH on Thursday with Salvador Perez catching.
