David Hamilton is starting at second base and batting eighth for the Red Sox on Thursday against the Mariners.

2 weeks ago

Kristian Campbell will shift to center field, and Ceddanne Rafaela will take a seat on the bench. Rafaela is hitting .231/.302/.385 with four steals and a 12:2 K:BB ratio over his last 12 games, but Hamilton has not been playing well enough to be a real threat to his playing time. The bigger threat would be the Red Sox calling up Roman Anthony and moving Jarren Duran to center field.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters Roki Sasaki is dealing with right arm soreness.

2 minutes ago

Roberts added that it’s possible Sasaki will require a trip to the injured list. His fastball velocity was down in his previous start last Friday against the Diamondbacks as he allowed five runs over four innings of work. The 23-year-old top pitching prospect would likely benefit from a bit of a mental and physical reset after struggling to a pedestrian 4.72 ERA and subpar 15.6 percent strikeout rate across eight starts. There should be a decision on his status at some point later this week.

Clayton Kershaw (toe, knee) will make his season debut on Saturday against the Mets.

7 minutes ago

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts confirmed to reporters that the future Hall of Famer will take the ball this weekend at Citi Field. The 37-year-old southpaw, who is coming back from offseason toe and knee surgeries, should remain a viable option for fantasy managers on a per-start basis. Setting aside the obvious durability concerns, the stuff has looked sharp in recent minor league outings and he should provide a boost in the ratio departments for fantasy purposes, even if there won’t be a ton of volume.

Stephen Curry (hamstring) is out for Game 5 against the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

10 minutes ago

Unsurprisingly, Curry is officially out for Game 5 due to the hamstring injury he suffered during Game 1. Game 6, which will be played on May 18, was a far more realistic possibility for the Warriors’ superstar guard. Buddy Hield will likely remain in the starting lineup, with Jonathan Kuminga taking on a more prominent role off the bench. Those two and Brandin Podziemski will need to be at their best if the Warriors are to extend this series, which they trail three games to one.

Rays manager Kevin Cash said earlier this week that Shane McClanahan (triceps) is still dealing with discomfort.

14 minutes ago

Cash added that McClanahan has been given clearance to continue his throwing program, despite the lingering discomfort, but won’t be able to start ramping up from an intensity standpoint until the issue is resolved. There is no timetable for the 28-year-old fantasy ace to make his season debut. It’s starting to look like he won’t make it back until the second half, even in a best-case scenario.

Alejandro Kirk (head) is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Rays.

20 minutes ago

Blue Jays manager John Schneider told reporters that Kirk has passed all concussion tests was lifted from Sunday’s game after being hit in the helmet on a backswing, which is an extremely encouraging development. He’ll get some extra time off to rest and recover out of an abundance of caution. It’ll be Tyler Heineman handling the catching duties on Tuesday night in his absence.

Yankees signed RHP Anthony DeSclafani to a minor league contract.

28 minutes ago

DeSclafani missed all of last year after undergoing surgery to repair the flexor tendon in his right arm. The 35-year-old righty provides the Yankees with some experienced starting pitching depth at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He’s unlikely to make an impact for fantasy purposes, but could wind up gobbling up some innings for New York at some point later this season.
