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.

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.
Apr 20 - 12:37 AM
Jesus Aguilar - 1B - Brewers

Jesus Aguilar went 3-for-5 with three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's win over the Marlins.

Aguilar had an RBI double in the fifth inning before knocking a two-run single in the sixth. He also had another double in the contest. The 27-year-old has proven a very productive platoon hitter, playing primarily against lefties, and he's hitting .414/.485/.552 in 29 at-bats this year.
Apr 20 - 12:36 AM
Ryan Braun - OF - Brewers

Ryan Braun (calf) hit a pinch-hit, three-run home run in Thursday's win over the Marlins.

Braun said before the game that he hoped his calf was well enough that he could play Friday, and he found his way into Thursday's game at a pivotal point in the sixth inning. He certainly seemed well enough, ripping a Junichi Tazawa offering over the left-center field wall for the three-run shot. It was also his 1,000th career RBI. Assuming no setbacks, Braun should be back in the lineup Friday. He's hitting .214/.250/.464 on the year.
Apr 20 - 12:31 AM
Chris Owings - OF - Diamondbacks

Chris Owings was diagnosed with a head contusion after leaving Thursday's win over the Giants following a third-inning collision with A.J. Pollock.

Owings crashed into fellow outfielder A.J. Pollock while making a catch in the third inning, taking a knee to the face in the process. He subsequently left the game and was later diagnosed with a contusion -- a fancy way of saying that he bruised his head. Expect him to be run through the concussion protocol in the coming days. A timeline for his return should clarify once he's further removed from the initial injury.

A.J. Pollock - OF - Diamondbacks

A.J. Pollock went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Giants.

Pollock had the key hit of the game, snapping a 1-1 tie via a solo home run off Ty Blach to lead off the sixth inning. He's up to four home runs, now, to pair with a .254/.311/.582 batting line. Of his 17 hits this season, a hearty 13 have gone for extra bases. All power comes with a price, though, and Pollock has also struck out eight times in his last 12 at-bats.
