The Twins likely will turn to at Brandon Kintzler and Fernando Abad in the ninth inning. Plus, Felix Hernandez might have a bigger issue with his calf, Hunter Strickland picks up a save for the Giants, Andrelton Simmons is close to a return and more.
There won't be much more dancing from Hunter Pence, who's expected to be out until mid-August. What are the ripples in SF's outfield? Plus ARI rotation updates; T. Ross, McCarthy, Ottavino rehabs; and more.
With Matt Garza due back later in June, it looks like someone other than Zach Davies will be bumped from the MIL rotation. Plus updates on Kelly Johnson, Carlos Rodon, Williams Perez and more.
Jimmy Rollins is having big problems with RHPs again at CHW, so Tyler Saladino has been slowly getting increased PT at short. Plus, the paucity of options in CLE (OF) and KC (DH), and more from the AL Central.
Nobody expected Michael Wacha to have a 5.16 ERA and 1.51 WHIP through his first 12 starts of 2016. What do the skills say about his chances of a rebound? Plus Ben Revere, Matt Duffy, Matt Adams and Tyler Chatwood.
Jimmy Nelson's home start against the Mets draws a respectable Matchup Score, and respectable scores are the best we can find in Thursday's weak pitching slate.
