  • TOR Relief Pitcher #57

    Chad Green worked a scoreless ninth to finish off a 4-0 win against the Rangers on Thursday.
    It would have been a save, but the Jays scored one run in the top of the ninth. This makes two positive outings in a row for Green after he gave up 11 runs in his first five appearances of September. He remains the clear favorite for saves in Toronto.
  • PHI Right Fielder #17

    Max Kepler was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Giants with a right shin contusion.
    Kepler is presumably day-to-day heading into Friday’s series opener against the Padres. He was 1-for-3 with an RBI before exiting Wednesday’s one-sided affair at Oracle Park.
    Smoltz talks transition to golf from baseball
    Eight-time MLB All-Star John Smoltz sits down with Dan Patrick to discuss his transition from the mound to the golf course, his relationship with social media, and the changing usage of pitchers in the league.
  • ATH Shortstop #5
    Jacob Wilson (hand) is not in the lineup for Wednesday’s game against Atlanta.
    No surprise here after Wilson suffered a left hand contusion when he was hit by a pitch during Tuesday’s series opener. The positive news for the Athletics, and fantasy managers, is that initial X-rays came back negative for any fractures. The 23-year-old All-Star will be re-evaluated in the coming days, but it appears he’s avoided serious injury. It’ll be Max Muncy filling in at shortstop on Wednesday night.
  • MIL Right Fielder #11
    Jackson Chourio singled in the winning run in the bottom of the 10th as the Brewers outlasted the Dodgers 3-2 on Wednesday
    The hard-hit grounder through the infield against Kirby Yates was Chourio’s lone hit after a flyout and three strikeouts. It extended his hitting streak to eight games, during which he’s homered twice and drive in six runs.
  • MIL Starting Pitcher #62
    Jose Quintana pitched six innings of one-run ball, allowing just two hits, in a no-decision Wednesday against the Dodgers.
    Quintana walked four, but he otherwise frustrated the Dodgers, who managed to produce only singles from Esteury Ruiz and Andy Pages. It’s the seventh time in 13 starts this season that Quintana has allowed one or no runs. He ends the first half 6-3 with a 3.28 ERA, and the Brewers are 9-4 in his starts.
  • MIL Relief Pitcher #29
    Trevor Megill struck out the side in the 10th and picked up his second win of the year Wednesday against the Dodgers.
    Megill stranded the automatic runner in the top of the 10th before the Brewers won the game in the bottom of the inning. MLB hasn’t officially announced it, but Brewers manager Pat Murphy said after the game that Megill is getting added to the NL All-Star team. With a 2.41 ERA and 21 saves in 24 chances, he’s earned the nod.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #31
    Tyler Glasnow held the Brewers to an unearned run and two hits over five innings Wednesday in his return from the injured list.
    He struck out five and walked three. Glasnow averaged 96.8 mph with his fastball today, a nice improvement over his mark of 95.2 mph from his first five starts before going on the IL with a shoulder injury. He was in that same improved territory in his three Triple-A rehab starts, too, so it doesn’t seem like a one-time thing. It bodes well for his second half, if he can remain healthy.
  • LAD Relief Pitcher #66
    Tanner Scott took his sixth blown save after giving up a run in the ninth Wednesday against the Brewers.
    Scott entered a 2-1 game to retire Christian Yelich to end the eighth and then stayed on for the ninth, which saw the Brewers string together three singles to tie the game. Kirby Yates later took the loss after allowing the automatic runner to score in the 10th. Scott continues to frustrate Dodgers fan and fantasy leaguers alike, but his 47/7 K/BB in 42 innings is strong and ERA estimators suggest he’s pretty unlucky to be at 3.86 right now. He should keep getting the ball in save situations.
  • CLE Starting Pitcher #49
    Guardians re-signed LHP Kolby Allard to a one-year contract.
    Allard is back with Cleveland and will be active for Wednesday’s game in Houston. The 27-year-old southpaw elected free agency earlier this week, but ultimately decided to stick around with the Guardians as extra relief depth. He posted a solid 2.55 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 16/8 K/BB ratio across 35 1/3 innings (16 appearances, one start) earlier this season.
  • CLE Relief Pitcher #29
    Guardians optioned LHP Tim Herrin to Triple-A Columbus.
    Herrin heads back to the minors to allow Cleveland to add lefty Kolby Allard to their active roster. The 28-year-old lefty has compiled a respectable 3.99 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 28/22 K/BB ratio across 29 1/3 innings (37 appearances) this season in the big leagues. He made a career-high 75 relief appearances last year for the Guardians.
  • ARI Relief Pitcher #27
    Diamondbacks recalled LHP Andrew Saalfrank from Triple-A Reno.
    Saalfrank joins Arizona’s relief mix ahead og Wednesday’s showdown against the Padres. The 27-year-old lefty missed nearly all of last year, and a portion of the current season, serving a one-year suspension for violating the league’s gambling policy. He’ll likely operate in low-leverage spots initially for the Diamondbacks.
