It’s going to be several weeks of building up arm strength and stamina in bullpen sessions before Gil is ready for a minor league rehab assignment. The 26-year-old reigning AL Rookie of the Year is working his way back from a high-grade lat strain that he suffered back in spring training. He’s not expected to be an option for New York’s rotation again until at least some point in June.

He was on base all five times up, as he also reached on an error. So much of Wilson’s contact is rather weak that it’s always unexpected when he muscles up and hits a ball 380 feet, but he’s definitely demonstrated that he’s capable. He’s up to .363/.389/.512 for the season after tonight. He has 58 hits, yet just 41 hard-hit balls. His barrel and homer totals are also equal, though the league as a whole has a little more than twice as many barrels as homers.

Springs is definitely on the short list of the league’s most frustrating pitchers to date. He’s now beaten the Mariners, Padres, Rangers and Dodgers, yet he’s also given up seven runs in a loss to the White Sox, and neither his 4.27 ERA nor his 36/21 K/BB in 46 1/3 innings is very impressive at all. He remains a tough play in mixed leagues at the moment.

Knack struck out eight, but he gave up seven hits, two of them homers to take his first loss after two victories this season. He should stay in the rotation for now and face the Diamondbacks next time out.

Kurtz’s homer was a 415-foot blast off J.P. Feyereisen in the eighth. Two innings previous, he had a 363-foot flyout that would have been a homer in eight ballparks. His double was also legit, leaving his bat at 110.6 mph. Kurtz is worth considering in leagues in which he was dropped.

It’s the first time in his career that Conforto has doubled three times. There were no soft ones tonight, either, as his hits left the bat at 106.1, 103.7 and 109.5 mph. As much as he’s struggled this season, it seems like a good sign, especially coming on a night that no one else in the Dodgers lineup had much luck.

The 430-foot homer, which also played Elias Díaz, was Tatis’s 11th of the season. Tatis also walked and scored in the Padres’ two-run rally that tied the game in the eighth. His 11th homer puts him in a tie for eighth in the majors. He’s also eighth with his .963 OPS.
