Juan Nicasio - S - Rockies

Juan Nicasio threw six scoreless innings in his start Sunday against the Giants.

Nicasio was knocked around for five runs in his previous outing, so it was a solid bounce back effort. He allowed just three hits, one walk, and had five strikeouts. Nicasio was a candidate to be sent down earlier this month, but his rotation spot is safe for now. Roy Oswalt is expected to make 4-5 starts with Double-A Tulsa before the Rockies need to decide whether or not to call him up.
May 19 - 9:12 PM
Dexter Fowler - OF - Rockies

Dexter Fowler went 4-for-5 with two runs in Sunday's win over the Giants.

Fowler has multi-hit games in each of his last three starts and is finally heating up after a sluggish start to the month. He's now batting .286/.375/.494 and ranks 10th in the National League with eight home runs this season.
May 19 - 8:59 PM
Andrew Cashner - S - Padres

Andrew Cashner held the Nationals to three runs on seven hits over six-plus innings Sunday for his third win of the season.

He gave up just one walk and had six strikeouts. His lone mistake came on a two-run home run to Ryan Zimmerman in the fourth inning. Since converting to a starter, Cashner's fastball velocity has averaged 94.8 mph, where he ranks second only to Stephen Strasburg. He's surrendered just four runs over his last 21 innings and remains a must-own in standard mixed fantasy leagues.
May 19 - 8:38 PM
Dan Haren - S - Nationals

Dan Haren was pulled in the fifth inning after giving up seven runs Sunday in a loss to the Padres.

Haren suffered an ankle injury during his last start and may not be completely healthy. He allowed three runs in the first inning and was victimized by a pair of home runs to Will Venable and Kyle Blanks. Haren is in position to bounce back with a matchup against the Phillies next week.
May 19 - 8:34 PM
Nathan Karns - S - Nationals

Nate Karns allowed three runs on seven hits over six innings and had six strikeouts in his start Friday at Double-A Harrisburg.

Karns didn't make it out of the first inning in his previous outing, so it was a much needed return to form. If Ross Detwiler is placed on the disabled list, Karns could be an option for the Nationals. He has a 4.38 ERA and 46 strikeouts over 39 innings (eight starts) at the Double-A level.
May 19 - 8:32 PM
Luis Mendoza - S - Royals

Luis Mendoza allowed just two runs on eight hits over six innings in his start Sunday against the Athletics.

Mendoza earned his first win earlier this week, and has put together three straight quality starts. He would have been in line for his second win, but the Royals' bullpen gave up a home run to Yoenis Cespedes in the eighth inning that cost him the game. Mendoza has a 5.50 ERA in seven appearances (six starts) this season.
May 19 - 7:58 PM
Ryan Cook - R - Athletics

Ryan Cook earned his first save of the season on Sunday against the Royals.

With both Grant Balfour and Sean Doolittle unavailable, Cook came out to close the ninth inning. Balfour has converted his last 26 saves, so he isn't in danger of losing his job.
May 19 - 7:52 PM
A.J. Griffin - S - Athletics

A.J. Griffin gave up three runs on seven hits over six innings Sunday against the Royals.

It was another solid outing from Griffin, who has allowed just seven earned runs combined in his past four starts. He had three walks, five strikeouts, and was removed after the sixth inning with 105 pitches. Griffin didn't factor in the decision, but continues to pitch well this season. He has a plus matchup with the Astros on Saturday.
