Luis Castillo has changed his pitch mix early in 2019, resulting in a surging strikeout rate in CIN. Also: a fresh look at the outfield situation in STL and PIT, reinforcements in the CHC bullpen, and the heavy dose of fastball MIL batters continue to see.
Tyler Flowers is expected to get the bulk of the playing time while Brian McCann is out. Plus, Joe Ross promoted, Ryan McMahon and Alex Avila placed on IL, and Drew VerHagen returns from IL.
Shane Greene closing doors in DET, Homer Bailey’s renaissance in KC, Yoan Moncada on fire in CHW, Francisco Lindor’s return delayed in CLE, and a Willians Astudillo sighting at 3B in MIN.
Carlos Rodon, Kyle Freeland, Homer Bailey and Marco Estrada are just some of the names outside of the "Strong Start" group who could provide positive results today.
With MIN playing just five games—two in a National League park—we might not see much of Nelson Cruz this week. We'll check other hitter matchups for the week ahead.
Jeremy Jeffress is on his way to returning to the Brewers in a high-leverage role. Plus, Cardinals demote Alex Reyes, Mike Montgomery and Matt Moore placed on IL, and Franchy Cordero injures elbow.
With Jake Lamb expected to miss six weeks, Christian Walker gets the nod at 1B in ARI. Plus, Kevin Gausman ready for action, Matt Wisler activated, BAL signs Dan Straily, Edinson Volquez placed on IL, and more.
