Chris Tillman - S - Orioles

Chris Tillman allowed three runs on just five hits and a walk over six innings in Sunday's loss to the Rays.

Tillman recorded four strikeouts. The right-hander put together his sixth straight quality start, but he was undone in this one by a pair of solo homers from Luke Scott and Matt Joyce. Tillman now sports a solid 3.52 ERA and 1.27 WHIP for the season and should remain in fantasy lineups for a matchup this weekend in Toronto.

Luke Scott - DH - Rays

Luke Scott belted a solo homer in Sunday's win over the Orioles.

Scott's solo blast in the fifth inning put the Rays ahead for good. The bearded designated hitter has spent a significant chunk of the season on the DL, but he's hit when healthy, batting .298 with three homers and 12 RBI.
May 19 - 5:07 PM
Edward Mujica - R - Cardinals

Edward Mujica threw a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save Sunday in the Cardinals' win over the Brewers.

Mujica got some help from his outfield defense with both Jon Jay and Carlos Beltran contributing diving catches. Mujica now has a 1.42 ERA, 0.53 WHIP and 18/1 K/BB ratio in 19 innings this season, and he's 13-for-13 in save opportunities. He should keep on rolling.
May 19 - 5:04 PM
John Gast - S - Cardinals

John Gast held the Brewers to two runs over 5 1/3 innings Sunday in the Cardinals' 4-2 victory.

Gast is now 2-0 through his first two major league starts. The right-hander does not have dominant stuff, but he induced eight groundball outs and had good command of his changeup all afternoon. He is likely to take at least one more turn in the Cardinals' rotation while Jake Westbrook nurses a balky elbow.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

Rangers recalled SS Jurickson Profar from Triple-A Round Rock.

Profar will see regular starts at second base with Ian Kinsler on the disabled list. After getting off to a slow start, he's batting .278/.370/.438 with four homers and six steals at the Triple-A level. Profar is worth an add in fantasy leagues based purely on talent and ceiling. He doesn't have a guaranteed role when Kinsler returns.
May 19 - 4:56 PM
Ian Kinsler - 2B - Rangers

Rangers placed 2B Ian Kinsler on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 18, with an intercoastal strain.

Kinsler hasn't started the last two games with rib soreness and said he still felt discomfort during batting practice on Sunday. The Rangers aren't overly concerned about the injury, but top prospect Jurickson Profar will be called up to replace Kinsler on the active roster. Kinsler is batting .302/.369/.500 with seven home runs through his first 40 games this season.
May 19 - 4:43 PM
Erik Kratz - C - Phillies

Erik Kratz hit a game-tying solo home run Sunday as the Phillies came back to beat the Reds 3-2.

Kratz hit his solo shot off Reds closer Aroldis Chapman in the bottom of the ninth, and it was quickly followed by a walkoff solo blast from Freddy Galvis. Talk about unpredictable. Kratz will likely get regular playing time at catcher over the next few weeks while Carlos Ruiz recovers from the right hamstring strain that he suffered earlier in Sunday's game.
