Kyle Hart to Pitch on Sunday

San Diego Padres pitcher Kyle Hart will take the mound for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. It's unclear if Hart will be making a traditional start or be used as a bulk reliever in an opener situation. Regardless, Hart is unlikely to offer much fantasy value considering he has struggled in the big leagues […]

Cal Quantrill Shifting to Bullpen

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Cal Quantrill will make the shift to the bullpen, according to manager Brian Snitker. Quantrill appears to be the odd man out with Chris Sale (ribs) returning from the injured list. The right-hander hasn't made this a difficult decision for the Braves as he's allowed 12 earned runs across eight innings […]

Beau Brieske Suffers Setback, Likely Out for Remainder of 2025 Season

Detroit Tigers right-hander Beau Brieske (elbow) had a setback in a recent bullpen session that will likely sideline him for the remainder of 2025, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News.

Liam Hendriks Continues Throwing Program

Tommy John Surgery Recommended for Randy Rodriguez

According to the San Francisco Giants, multiple doctors recommended that reliever Randy Rodriguez (elbow) undergo Tommy John surgery.

Red Sox Release Walker Buehler

The Boston Red Sox released right-hander Walker Buehler on Friday, sources tell Chris Cotillo of Mass Live. Buehler began the 2025 campaign with the Red Sox in their starting rotation, but the 31-year-old veteran was recently moved to the bullpen due to inconsistent results on the bump. He now finds himself on the open market […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Moving to Bullpen for the "Short Term"

Houston Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. is available out of the bullpen, according to manager Joe Espada.

Rockies Move Antonio Senzatela to the Bullpen

Senzatela has struggled mightily as a starter this season, posting a career-worst 7.15 ERA through 112 innings. His 1.90 WHIP and 61/42 K/BB do not get much better, either. At this time, it's unclear who will take Senzatela's […]
