Diamondbacks reassigned RHP Jensen Lewis to Triple-A Reno.

Lewis allowed only four hits over seven scoreless innings this spring, but he wasn’t able to crack the talented Arizona bullpen. He’ll act as relief depth this year.

Nathan Eovaldi

TEX Starting Pitcher #17

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Nathan Eovaldi improved to 5-4 on Sunday in Houston, throwing seven shutout innings while striking out eight en route to a 8-0 victory.

Eovaldi allowed five hits and walked two in the outing, lowering his ERA to 3.62 for the year. The right-hander was scratched from Monday’s start against the Diamondbacks due to a side issue, but he threw a midweek bullpen and didn’t appear affected by it, judging by the results. He also picked up a league-high 19 whiffs on Sunday. This week’s scratch helped him avoid a visit to Coors Field next time out, and he’ll instead match up against the Angels on the road.

Peter Lambert

HOU Starting Pitcher #38

Peter Lambert fell to 2-4 on Sunday against the Rangers, giving up five runs on three hits over six innings pitched.

Lambert struck out six and walked two in the outing. He had allowed just two runs through six frames but left with the bases loaded in the seventh, and all three inherited runners came around to score. It was an encouraging game until then, and Lambert will carry a 3.57 ERA into his next start, scheduled for on the road in Wrigley Field against the Cubs.

Jake Burger

TEX 1st Baseman #21

Jake Burger went 2-for-4 with a homer, a double, four RBI, and two runs scored as the Rangers shut out the Astros 8-0 on Sunday.

The homer was his eighth of the season as the first baseman has started all but three games for Texas. Burger’s barrel rate is down a couple ticks from prior years, but he’s always been a streaky hitter who hits for power in bunches. Timing those can be difficult in fantasy, and his pitcher-friendly home park doesn’t help. A three-game trip to Coors to begin the week could see him heat up, however.

Brandon Nimmo

TEX Right Fielder #24

Brandon Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a double and a run driven in as the Rangers blanked the Astros 8-0 on Sunday.

Nimmo’s RBI double extended the Rangers’ lead to 7-0 in the seventh, a high fly ball that bounced off the Crawford Boxes in left field. The former Met began the year as Texas’ everyday leadoff hitter, but he slid down to second this week while Joc Pederson and Evan Carter have taken turns batting first.

Harrison Bader

SF Center Fielder #9

Harrison Bader hit a grand slam and walked Sunday in the Giants’ 10-1 drubbing of the A’s.

This one was close until an eight-run eighth inning for the Giants. Bader’s slam, which left his bat at 93.9 mph, was aided by a 20-30 mph wind blowing out to right field. However, that was just the ultimate makeup call. As MLB.com’s Sarah Langs pointed out, Bader lost a grand slam to the wind Saturday on a fifth-inning fly to center. Today’s slam was his second in 75 career plate appearances with the bases loaded.

Adrian Houser

SF Starting Pitcher #12

Adrian Houser worked six innings and allowed one run in a victory over the Athletics on Sunday.

Houser worked around five walks, giving up only three singles and a double. He has a 2.04 ERA in four starts this month, though his 10/9 K/BB in 17 2/3 innings is far from encouraging. He still seems like a poor play in mixed leagues. He’ll face the White Sox at home next weekend.

Jeffrey Springs

ATH Starting Pitcher #59

Jeffrey Springs yielded two runs — one earned — in six innings Sunday in a loss to the Giants.

The one earned run was the result of a wind-aided Luis Arraez homer, so this was a particularly tough loss for Springs today. Since opening up 3-0 with a 1.46 ERA, he’s gone 0-4 with a 5.93 ERA in his last six starts. He’ll pitch in San Diego on Friday.

Luis Arraez

SF 2nd Baseman #1

Luis Arraez went 3-for-4 with a homer and a walk against the Athletics on Sunday.

The homer would have been a routine fly to right most days, but not with the wind whipping today. It made it over the fence while being hit 95.1 mph at a 42-degree launch angle. Arraez also homered on Friday, so he has two this year without having collected a barrel yet.

Lawrence Butler

ATH Right Fielder #4

Lawrence Butler went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the Giants on Sunday.

The A’s sat Henry Bolte today so that they could play both Butler and Carlos Cortes, but it’s Butler who seems like the team’s weakest link right now; he’s batting .171/.272/.264 with 41 strikeouts in 147 plate appearances. With Denzel Clarke nearly ready to return, one wonders if the A’s might try sending Butler down for a spell to regain some confidence.

Erick Fedde

CWS Starting Pitcher #47

Erick Fedde received a no-decision on Sunday against the Cubs, allowing four earned on six hits over three innings.

Fedde struck out two and walked four in the outing, raising his ERA to 4.30 on the year. The right-hander gave up a two-run homer to Michael Busch in the first, part of a three-run inning to kick things off. Fedde will continue to eat innings for this rotation when he faces the Giants in San Francisco next time out.
