Tomoyuki Sugano allowed five hits and three runs with one strikeout and no walks across seven innings in a no-decision against the Orioles on Wednesday.

3 weeks ago

Overall, Sugano had another fine start, he was just done in by two bad pitches. All three of the Nationals’ runs came from home runs by James Wood and Josh Bell. Besides that, they rarely threatened despite Sugano forcing just four total swings and misses. He throws plenty of junk and has a deep enough repertoire to be fairly effective, as he’s been so far during his first season. He’ll likely regress from his current 3.54 ERA though and is scheduled for a two-start week coming up against the Yankees and Royals.

Astros’ general manager Dana Brown told reporters on Thursday that the team should know more on Hayden Wesneski (elbow) in the next 36 hours.

The lack of an update isn’t in itself a bad thing, though it sounds like they could be waiting on a second opinion after his MRI revealed only inflammation in his pitching elbow. It sounds like we should have an update on his timeline before the weekend is through.

White Sox acquired RHP Miguel Castro from the Astros for cash considerations.

24 minutes ago

The 30-year-old right-hander had an opt-out clause coming up in his minor league deal, so the Astros decided to flip him someplace where he’ll get an opportunity. He’s expected to join the White Sox’ bullpen on Friday.

Will Smith is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Thursday night’s tilt against the Athletics.

36 minutes ago

It appears to be nothing more than a routine night off for the hard-hitting backstop. Dalton Rushing will start behind the plate in his place and will bat seventh against A’s right-hander Osvaldo Bido on Thursday evening.

ESPN’s Jordan Raanan expects Jaxson Dart to sit his entire rookie year if “all goes well.”

48 minutes ago

The problem with that otherwise sensible opinion, of course, is that it is extremely unlikely “all goes well” with Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston on a roster that found itself picking at No. 3 overall last month. If the Giants are genuinely serious about redshirting Dart for a year, it will be easier than most places because of the presence of two veteran quarterbacks instead of just one, but coach Brian Daboll and GM Joe Schoen both have their jobs on the line. That almost equals “break rookie glass.” Teams have become more amenable to sitting blue-chip rookie QBs in recent years, but we would be stunned if Dart fails to make 2025 starts.

Brandon Lowe went 3-for-5 and clobbered a pair of two-run homers on Thursday afternoon, helping to power the Rays to an 8-3 victory over the Blue Jays in Toronto.

1 hour ago

Lowe got the Rays on the board before an out had been recorded in the ballgame, ambushing a first-pitch fastball from Kevin Gausman for a 399-foot (105.6 mph EV) two-run blast, giving the Rays an early lead that they would never relinquish. Lowe then put the exclamation point on the victory with a 429-foot (109.1 mph EV) two-run blast off of Jose Urena in the ninth inning. With his three-hit attack, the 30-year-old second baseman is now hitting .220/.272/.373 to go with seven homers and 24 RBI.

Josh Lowe returned to the Rays’ starting lineup with a bang on Thursday, going 3-for-5 with a homer and a pair of runs scored in a victory over the Blue Jays.

1 hour ago

Lowe led off the game with a single off of Kevin Gausman and then rode home on Brandon Lowe’s two-run blast. The 27-year-old outfielder then crushed one over the fence himself in the fifth inning — a 408-foot (105.7 mph EV) solo shot off of Gausman — increasing his club’s lead to 5-2. He also singled in the ninth inning but the Rays couldn’t cash him in. As long as he remains healthy, he’ll be a valuable fantasy contributor atop the Rays’ lineup.
