Player News
Jake Fraley is back in right field Tuesday after missing Monday’s game with a right quad contusion.
Fraley is batting seventh against the Cardinals. Blake Dunn returns to the bench after going 1-for-3 in his place last night.
Rockies sent LHP Lucas Gilbreath outright to Triple-A Albuquerque.
No one thought it was worth taking a chance on Gilbreath, who seemed pretty promising before his arm problems. Unfortunately, he’s averaging just 90 mph with his fastball in Triple-A right now, down about 3.5 mph from 2021-22.
Orioles recalled RHP Kyle Gibson from High-A Aberdeen.
Gibson will make his 2025 debut tonight in a start against the Yankees. He had a 3.75 ERA and a 13/2 K/BB in 12 innings over his three minor league starts.
Orioles optioned RHP Kade Strowd to Triple-A Norfolk.
Strowd did not pitch during his one day with the Orioles.
Manuel Margot, who has missed three weeks with left knee inflammation, is beginning a rehab assignment with Triple-A Toledo.
Margot could be activated this weekend. Justyn-Henry Malloy and Colt Keith are probably the top candidates to be sent down to make room for him on Detroit’s roster.
Braves recalled RHP AJ Smith-Shawver from Triple-A Gwinnett.
Smith-Shawver will start in Colorado tonight. He was 0-2 with a 4.61 ERA and a 17/8 K/BB in 13 2/3 innings over three starts before being sent down earlier this month. It’s possible he’ll last in the rotation this time, but he really needs to cut down on the walks some, especially being as much of a flyball pitcher as he is.
