    Nathan Eovaldi will start Friday’s second-half opener against the Orioles.
    Eovaldi, whose name has surfaced in recent trade rumors as a possible target for the Red Sox in their quest to win the AL East, draws the starting assignment for Friday’s series opener against a star-studded Baltimore lineup to be followed over the weekend by veterans Max Scherzer and Andrew Heaney.
  • KC 1st Baseman #14

    Jac Caglianone will play right field and bat sixth for the Royals on Thursday in Game 1 of the doubleheader against the Cardinals.
    Caglianone debuted on Tuesday as the designated hitter, so this will be his first start in the field as an MLB player. That should be his defensive home for most of this season.
    Cowser, Mayo hit ground running with Orioles
    Colton Coswer and Coby Mayo are recent callups for the Orioles who could make waves if early returns are any indication.
  • KC Relief Pitcher #56
    Royals moved RHP Hunter Harvey (shoulder) to 60-day injured list.
    Harvey has been on the IL since April 11th with a right major teres sprain. He suffered a setback at the beginning of May and has not yet gotten closer to returning. The move to the 60-day IL shouldn’t change his timeline at all.
  • KC Starting Pitcher #38
    Royals recalled RHP Thomas Hatch from Triple-A Omaha.
    Hatch had posted a 4.59 ERA, 1.43 WHIP, and 46/19 K/BB ratio in 51 innings (10 starts) at Triple-A. The Royals already have too many starting pitchers with Cole Ragans (groin) coming off the IL to start today, so this feels like Hatch coming up to be a long reliever out of the bullpen. Unless there was a change in plans with Ragans that hasn’t been mentioned yet.
  • HOU Starting Pitcher
    Astros RHP prospect Miguel Ullola threw five shutout innings for Triple-A Sugar Land on Wednesday.
    Ullola allowed just one hit while walking three and striking out seven. Ullola has impressive stuff, but command has been an issue for him in the past. He’s shown some minor growth recently, walking 16 batters over his last six outings, but striking out 41 over that span and allowing just three runs in 28 innings. With the Astros’ rotation getting crushed by injuries, there’s a chance that Ullola could get a shot this summer.
  • CWS Catcher #89
    Kyle Teel went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI, and one run scored for Triple-A Charlotte on Wednesday.
    Teel started this game at catcher, but he has also been working out at first base in the hopes of expediting his path to the big leagues. The 23-year-old has yet to play first base in a game, but if he starts to, that could be a sign that his call-up to the big leagues is getting closer.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #76
    Phillies RHP prospect Andrew Painter allowed four runs on six hits in four innings for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Wednesday.
    He also walked four and allowed two home runs while striking out five on the day. He still has a solid 3.86 ERA on the season, but this is just a reminder that he’s returning from Tommy John surgery, and so there will likely be some inconsistencies this season.
  • Christian Encarnacion-Strand (back) went 2-for-6 with two doubles, an RBI, and a run scored for Triple-A Louisville on Wednesday.
    CES has gone 11-for-32 with two home runs, six RBI, and a 7/5 K/BB ratio in nine games at Triple-A. Interestingly, he started this game at third base, which was his first start at any position other than first base since beginning his rehab assignment. He could be nearing his return to the big leagues and might be worth another chance in deeper fantasy leagues given his offensive upside.
  • BAL Catcher #99
    Gary Sánchez (wrist) went 2-for-3 with a home run for Triple-A Norfolk on Wednesday.
    Sánchez is likely to return to Baltimore by early next week at the latest. While he will take Maverick Handley’s spot on the roster as the backup catcher, there’s also a chance that he cuts into Coby Mayo’s at-bats as the designated hitter.
  • BOS 1st Baseman #49
    Red Sox 1B prospect Blaze Jordan went 2-for-4 with a double, two RBI, and two runs scored for Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.
    Jordan is 3-for-8 with a home run and two RBI since being promoted to Triple-A and is hitting .323/.416/.538 with seven home runs, 39 RBI, three steals, and a 20/23 K/BB ratio in 46 games across Double-A and Triple-A. The improvements in contact rate for the 22-year-old have been impressive, and he’s positioning himself to be the long-term platoon partner for Triston Casas at first base. If the Red Sox keep struggling, Jordan may even get a shot to play first base in Boston this summer.
  • BOS Starting Pitcher
    Red Sox RHP Brian Van Belle allowed one run on five hits in seven innings for Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday.
    He struck out five and walked nobody on the day. Van Belle has now gone seven innings in each of his last two starts, and has a 2.29 ERA in 12 appearances (eight starts) on the season with a 1.06 WHIP and 41/7 K/BB ratio in 51 innings. With the Red Sox rotation struggling, the 28-year-old could work himself into a shot in the big leagues this summer.
