Seth Lugo

KC Starting Pitcher #67

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Seth Lugo surrendered seven runs and 14 hits over 6 1/3 innings in Sunday’s loss to the Angels.

Lugo gave up six runs in the first two innings, but once he survived that, the Royals never had reason to pull him until the seventh. Still, it’s kind of stunning to see a pitcher get the chance to give up 14 hits. It hadn’t happened since Luis Cessa and Braxton Garrett did so in 2023. Lugo hadn’t allowed more than five hits in any of his previous five starts this season. His ERA climbed from 1.15 to 2.63, so he’ll look to bounce back next weekend in Seattle.

Yandy Díaz

TB 1st Baseman #2

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Yandy Díaz was removed from Friday’s contest against the Giants due to tightness in his left side.

It’s unclear when exactly the injury occurred. Before exiting, he gave the Rays an early 1-0 advantage with an opposite-field home run in the second inning. The Rays are calling him day-to-day for the time being, though there should be an update on his status from skipper Kevin Cash after the game concludes.

Jacob Misiorowski

MIL Starting Pitcher #32

Jacob Misiorowski was removed from Friday night’s start in the sixth inning due to an apparent injury.

This one didn’t look good. Misiorowski was working on a no-hitter with one out in the sixth inning against the Nationals and was visited by the training staff following a pitch to James Wood. A long discussion ensued and the decision was ultimately made to pull the prized 24-year-old right-hander. The Brewers should have an update on his status shortly. Stay tuned.

Brandon Nimmo

TEX Right Fielder #24

Brandon Nimmo was removed from Friday night’s battle against the Tigers in the fourth inning after aggravating his right hamstring injury.

Nimmo had been 2-for-2 with a walk and a pair of runs scored in the contest, but he felt his hamstring pull at him again after singling in the fourth inning and was lifted for a pinch-runner. While he continues to say it’s a manageable injury, perhaps the Rangers would be better served with a short stint on the injured list to make sure that he gets right.

Carlos Estévez

KC Relief Pitcher #53

Royals’ manager Matt Quatraro said Friday that Carlos Estévez (foot) is nearing a minor league rehab assignment.

The 33-year-old hurler threw off a mound once again on Friday without issue and it sounds like he’s finally close to seeing some live game action. It’s unclear how many outings he’ll require in a minor league setting before he’s cleared to rejoin the Royals’ bullpen. Lucas Erceg will continue to see the bulk of the save chances while Estévez is shelved.

Josh Simpson

SEA Starting Pitcher #37

Mariners recalled LHP Josh Simpson from Triple-A Tacoma.

With Matt Brash (lat) hitting the injured list on Friday, the M’s needed to reinforce their bullpen so they called on Simpson. The 28-year-old southpaw was off to a tremendous start at the Triple-A level, posting a 0.96 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and a 12/6 K/BB ratio over 9 1/3 innings in his nine appearances.

Matt Brash

SEA Relief Pitcher #47

Mariners placed RHP Matt Brash on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to April 30, with right lat inflammation.

The Mariners’ medical staff reviewed his MRI and decided it would be best to sit him down for another week or so to make sure the issue calms down rather than rushing him back and risk further aggravation. Josh Simpson was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move to take his place in the M’s bullpen.

Sonny Gray

BOS Starting Pitcher #54

Sonny Gray (hamstring) threw three innings during a live batting practice session on Friday without any issues.

The 36-year-old hurler has made quick work in his recovery from a right hamstring strain and it sounds like he could be ready to go as soon as he’s first eligible on Wednesday. Given the injury to Garrett Crochet and the instability in the Red Sox’ rotation, the Red Sox are anxiously awaiting Gray’s return.

Yusei Kikuchi

LAA Starting Pitcher #16

Angels’ manager Kurt Suzuki told reporters on Friday that the club is still awaiting the MRI results on the injured shoulder of left-hander Yusei Kikuchi.

Kikuchi was sent for imaging after being pulled from Wednesday’s start in the third inning due to soreness in his shoulder. They should know the results in the next day or so, after which they can make a determination on Kikuchi’s status. It looks increasingly likely that he’ll require a trip to the injured list.

José Berríos

TOR Starting Pitcher #17

José Berríos (elbow) is scheduled to make another rehab start at Triple-A Buffalo on Sunday.

If all goes well with that start, it’s possible the 31-year-old right-hander could be cleared to return to the Jays’ rotation. He has been shelved since the spring due to a stress fracture in his pitching elbow. It’s unclear if the Jays will then go to a six-man rotation or if someone will get bumped to the bullpen to accommodate the return of Berríos.

Alek Manoah

LAA Starting Pitcher #47

Alek Manoah (finger) will make a minor league rehab start at High-A Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday.

The 28-year-old right-hander is working his way back from a right middle finger contusion that he sustained during Cactus League play. He has already worked his way up to 90 pitches in simulated games, so it’ll be interesting to see how many rehab starts he’ll require before he’s an option to help out the Halos.
