Andrew Triggs - S - Athletics

Andrew Triggs limited the Rangers to one run over six innings in winnings Tuesday.

Triggs was lit up by the White Sox last time out, but he's allowed one or two runs in four of his five starts this year. He should remain a useful AL-only pitcher going forward.
Apr 24 - 11:29 PM
Santiago Casilla - R - Athletics

After Blake Treinen got hurt, Santiago Casilla pitched a perfect ninth for his first save Tuesday.

The A's weren't far away from cutting Casilla this spring and he opened the season in a mop-up role, but he came through tonight while pitching with a lead for the first time in six appearances this year. It's possible that he'll get more save chances if Treinen lands on the DL, though Ryan Buchter would also seem to be a possibility there.
Apr 24 - 11:27 PM
Cole Hamels - S - Rangers

Cole Hamels dropped to 1-4 after allowing two runs in 6 1/3 innings Tuesday against the A's.

Hamels allowed two runs or fewer for the third time in six starts. His stuff has degraded, so at this point, two runs for six innings is about the best anyone should hope for when he starts. He can keep his team in games, but with such a mediocre team around him, it's not going to get him many wins.
Apr 24 - 11:25 PM
Ronald Guzman - 1B - Rangers

Ronald Guzman went 0-for-4 on Tuesday and is 6-for-33 with 11 strikeouts since his callup.

Guzman was likely to have a little while longer anyway, but especially in light of Adrian Beltre's injury tonight, he'll keep serving as the Rangers' primary first baseman. If he's still struggling 10 days from now, perhaps a change could come.
Apr 24 - 11:20 PM
Alex Avila - C - Diamondbacks

Alex Avila went 3-for-4 and hit his second homer in the Diamondbacks' 8-4 victory over the Phillies on Tuesday.

Avila finally came through offensively after opening the season 4-for-35 with one homer and two RBI in 12 games. He'll likely be decent offensively the rest of the way, but he's not going to get as much playing time as most "starting" catchers and he's also an injury risk.
Apr 24 - 11:16 PM
Robbie Ray - S - Diamondbacks

Robbie Ray fanned 11 but came up short of a win after allowing three runs in 4 2/3 innings Tuesday against the Phillies.

Ray threw 107 pitches to get his 14 outs. He walked three and gave up five runs, though just one of those went for extra bases. Ray has always at least three in all five of his starts to date, which is why he's yet to last longer than six innings, which is why he's stuck on two wins even though the Diamondbacks have won four of his five outings.
Apr 24 - 11:14 PM
Vince Velasquez - S - Phillies

Vince Velasquez surrendered four runs through 4 2/3 innings Tuesday in a loss to the Diamondbacks.

That ends a stretch of three straight quality starts. Velasquez gave up two homers tonight after allowing just one in his first four starts. He's really just a streaming option in mixed leagues at the moment.
Apr 24 - 11:12 PM
Adrian Beltre - 3B - Rangers

Adrian Beltre has been diagnosed with a left hamstring strain.

Beltre will be reevaluated Wednesday, but this has disabled list written all over it. The veteran third baseman suffered the hamstring strain while running down the first base line on an RBI single in the eighth inning of Tuesday night's game against the Athletics.
