Chris Young - OF - Angels

Chris Young went 1-for-2 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.

Young connected for a solo home run off Eduardo Rodriguez in the fifth inning to draw the Angels to within 3-2, but they would not draw closer than that through to the end of the contest. The veteran outfielder has seen just 13 at-bats this season and holds no fantasy value. Thursday's home run was his first of the campaign.
Apr 20 - 1:49 AM
Shohei Ohtani - S - Angels

Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in Thursday's 8-2 loss to the Red Sox.

Ohtani has been the toast of baseball this year, but this series against the Red Sox is a solid reminder that he's probably a mortal man. He was knocked up for three runs in just two innings in his Tuesday start -- which he was forced to leave due to a blister on his right hand -- and fared no better with the bat on Thursday. That said, in 34 at-bats this season, Ohtani is still slashing .324/.378/.676 with three home runs (five total extra-base hits) and 11 RBI. He also owns a 3.60 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 19/4 K/BB ratio in three outings on the mound. He's expected to be able to make his next scheduled start despite the blister concern.
Apr 20 - 1:48 AM
Eduardo Rodriguez - S - Red Sox

Eduardo Rodriguez allowed two runs on three hits over six innings in Thursday's win over the Angels.

Rodriguez wasn't as crisp as he could have been -- he issued a trio of walks to go against five strikeouts -- but this was a fine performance on the whole. Zack Cozart knocked him for an RBI single in the second inning and Chris Young cracked him for a solo home run in the fifth inning, but otherwise, he was able to keep out of major trouble. This start out the way, Rodriguez will now bring a 3.45 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 20/7 K/BB ratio (15 2/3 innings) into a road date with the Blue Jays in his next scheduled outing.
Apr 20 - 1:45 AM
Nick Tropeano - S - Angels

Nick Tropeano surrendered five runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings in Thursday's loss to the Red Sox.

Tropeano struck out three and walked two on the evening. The lava-hot Mookie Betts cracked him for a solo home run in the first inning to put the Angels behind the eight-ball early, while two-run spots by the Sox in the fourth and sixth innings capped off the scoring on his line. This start was a disappointing step back after he impressed with 6 2/3 scoreless frames against the Royals in his season-debut last time out (he did not initially make the Opening Day roster). The right-hander won't have an easier assignment next time out, as he will be heading out to Houston for a date with the Astros.

Derek Law - R - Giants

Giants optioned RHP Derek Law to Triple-A Sacramento.

Law looks like he will be the roster casualty with Jeff Samardzija (pectoral) set to rejoin the Giants on Friday. In two appearances since his call-up earlier this month, the 27-year-old right-hander surrendered three runs (two earned) on two hits across 3 1/3 innings. He posted an uncomfortable 5.06 ERA in 41 innings of relief work with the Giants last season.
Apr 20 - 1:37 AM
Lorenzo Cain - OF - Brewers

Lorenzo Cain went 3-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a homer, two RBI and four runs scored as the Brewers thumped the Marlins 12-3 on Thursday.

Cain ripped a Dillon Peters pitch over the left field wall in the fifth inning, his second homer of the year. He added an RBI double in the sixth, and also had another double and a walk in the game. The good performance raised his average back up to over .300, leaving his line at .303/.390/.485 through 18 games. He's also stolen four bases, ranking among the league leaders in the category. The reunion has gone well thus far.
Apr 20 - 12:55 AM
Lewis Brinson - OF - Marlins

Lewis Brinson hit two homers, driving in three runs, in a loss to the Brewers on Thursday.

Playing against his former team, Brinson showed the upside that made the Marlins interested in him as the centerpiece for Christian Yelich, smashing a solo shot to center off Chase Anderson in the third inning before blasting a two-run shot off Anderson in the fifth. The homers were the first of the year for the 23-year-old. It was a rare bright spot in the early part of the year for Brinson, who's hitting just .156/.206/.250 in 17 games.
Apr 20 - 12:43 AM
Silvino Bracho - R - Diamondbacks

Diamondbacks optioned RHP Silvino Bracho to Triple-A Reno.

Bracho was called up on April 15 and saw playing time in one game prior to being dropped back down to Triple-A on Thursday evening. In his lone appearance, he put in three innings of work against the Marlins, allowing one run on three hits with a strong seven strikeouts in that cup of coffee. He could see time with the big league team again later this season depending on when the D-Backs need an additional bullpen arm.
