Ken Waldichuk

ATH Starting Pitcher #64

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Ken Waldichuk allowed five runs — four earned — over five innings on Friday in a loss against the Angels.

Waldichuk got out of a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the third inning. He wasn’t as fortunate in the fourth, as the Angels brought three runs across on four hits. Mikey Moniak added a solo homer in the fifth. Waldichuk completed the inning, and that would be it for him. The 25-year-old left-hander ends the season with a 5.36 ERA, 1.56 WHIP, and a 132/71 K/BB ratio across 141 innings.

Cal Raleigh

SEA Catcher #29

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Cal Raleigh remained out of the Mariners’ starting lineup for Sunday’s showdown against the Royals.

We still have yet to receive word on exactly what’s ailing Raleigh, other than “general soreness”, though he did undergo an MRI exam after being scratched from the lineup on Saturday. Jhonny Pereda will start in his place behind the dish and will bat eighth for the M’s against Kris Bubic and the Royals on Sunday afternoon in Seattle.

Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

The Twins announced that Joe Ryan was removed from Sunday’s start against the Blue Jays in the first inning due to right elbow soreness.

That’s never what you want to hear. While the severity of the injury is not yet known, it’ll almost certainly mean a trip to the injured list for the Twins’ ace. Fantasy managers should be sure to have an alternative option available for next week.

Germán Márquez

SD Starting Pitcher #33

Padres placed RHP Germán Márquez on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 2, with right forearm nerve inflammation.

The expectation had been that Matt Waldron would get bumped from the Padres’ rotation to accommodate the return of Griffin Canning on Sunday, but with Márquez heading to the injured list, he’ll get to stick around a bit longer. No word yet on the severity of the injury or how long they expect the 31-year-old hurler to be shelved for.

Griffin Canning

SD Starting Pitcher #17

Padres activated RHP Griffin Canning from the 15-day injured list.

As expected, Canning will make his Padres’ debut on Sunday against the White Sox. He only threw 15 innings over five minor league rehab starts at Triple-A El Paso, so it’s possible that his workload could be limited initially upon his return. German Marquez (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move on Sunday.

Joe Ryan

MIN Starting Pitcher #41

Joe Ryan was removed from Sunday’s start against the Blue Jays after throwing just nine pitches due to an apparent injury.

Ryan delivered a fastball to Kazuma Okamoto and immediately felt something and called for the training staff. After a brief discussion, he was pulled from the game. All Twins’ fans and fantasy managers can do now is wait and hope for the best. The Twins should have an update on his status soon. Stay tuned.

Luis Morales

ATH Starting Pitcher #19

Athletics optioned RHP Luis Morales to Triple-A Las Vegas.

Morales has been knocked around in three appearances with the A’s this season, posting a miserable 14.46 ERA, 3.11 WHIP and a cringe-inducing 7/12 K/BB ratio over 9 1/3 innings. He’ll attempt to work through his command issues at the minor league level.

Tyler Ferguson

ATH Relief Pitcher #44

Athletics recalled RHP Tyler Ferguson from Triple-A Las Vegas.

The 32-year-old right-hander has been knocked around in his first 10 appearances at Triple-A Las Vegas to the tune of a 6.17 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and an 8/6 K/BB ratio over 11 2/3 innings. He’ll add a fresh arm to the middle of the A’s bullpen.

Nick Raquet

BAL Starting Pitcher #72

Orioles optioned LHP Nick Raquet to Triple-A Norfolk.

The O’s needed to free up a spot on their active roster for Trey Gipson’s promotion on Sunday and unfortunately for Raquet he was the odd man out this time around. The 30-year-old southpaw posted a 10.13 ERA, 1.88 WHIP and a 1/2 K/BB ratio across 2 2/3 innings in his three appearances with the O’s.

Brice Turang

MIL 2nd Baseman #2

Brice Turang was scratched from the Brewers’ starting lineup on Sunday due to illness.

There has been a bug going around the Brewers’ clubhouse and Turang is the latest to fall victim to it. He should be considered day-to-day. David Hamilton will slide over and cover second base while Luis Rengifo will enter the lineup at the hot corner and will bat leadoff against PJ Poulin and the Nationals.

Garrett Crochet

BOS Starting Pitcher #35

Garrett Crochet (shoulder) played catch on Sunday, the first time that he has done so since being shut down due to inflammation in his pitching shoulder.

There’s still no clear timeline for a potential return for the 26-year-old southpaw, but it’s at least encouraging that he is throwing the ball again. Expect the Red Sox to take every possible precaution here as they ramp him back up.
