Carlos Quentin (wrist) sitting out Wednesday

Carlos Quentin (wrist) is not in the Padres' lineup Wednesday.

Quentin was hit by a pitch just above the wrist Tuesday. X-rays came back negative, but Quentin is still a little sore and the Padres have decided to give him a night of rest. It's not expected to be a DL situation. Chris Denorfia is starting in his place Wednesday.

Heaney (elbow) to make season debut Friday

Andrew Heaney (elbow) is scheduled to make his season debut Friday in Baltimore.

Heaney got the go-ahead after throwing a bullpen session in front of Angels coaches and trainers on Tuesday at Nationals Park. The 26-year-old left-hander is nearly 14 months removed from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery and posted a promising 2.60 ERA and 29/5 K/BB ratio over 27 2/3 innings on his six-start minor league rehab assignment. He's looking like a potential fantasy sleeper for the stretch run.

Brian Goodwin (groin) placed on disabled list

Nationals placed OF Brian Goodwin on the 10-day disabled list with a left groin strain.

The injury comes with bad timing for Goodwin, who had been drawing regular starts in the Nationals' outfield. He owns a cool .811 OPS with 13 home runs and six stolen bases in 74 games this season. Alejandro De Aza has been called up from Triple-A Syracuse in a corresponding 25-man roster move.

Paxton (pectoral) may resume throwing soon

James Paxton (pectoral) hopes to begin playing catch this weekend.

Paxton remains in shutdown mode with a strained left pectoral muscle, but he told reporters Tuesday that he's feeling much better and he has a check-up exam scheduled for this Friday in Seattle. We should have a clearer picture about his timetable by Saturday. Paxton hit the disabled list on August 11 with a stellar 12-3 record, 2.78 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and 138/33 K/BB ratio in 119 2/3 innings this season. The 28-year-old southpaw also missed time in May with a forearm strain.

Gallo hits ninth homer of month, 34th of year

Joey Gallo hit his ninth homer of the month and 34th of the year Tuesday against the Tigers.

He also walked and scored a second run. That run is notable; he'd been driven in just once in his previous 17 games. The Rangers have slowly moved him up in the lineup, but they still won't go any higher than fifth with him.

Luis Castillo sharp in no-decision versus CHC

Luis Castillo had to settle for a no-decision but was superb Tuesday night against the Cubs, whiffing seven batters over six shutout frames in the Reds' 2-1 victory.

Castillo permitted only two hits -- both singles -- on the night while issuing a pair of walks. He had thrown only 80 pitches through his six shutout innings, but the Reds elected to pinch-hit for him in the top of the seventh when they had a scoring opportunity. Castillo has tossed four straight quality starts and has not given up more than four runs in any outing despite facing a brutal schedule. He takes on the Braves in Atlanta this weekend.

Zach Davies beats Pirates for 14th win of '17

Zach Davies limited the Pirates to one run over 6 2/3 innings to pick up his 14th victory on Tuesday.

We're three-quarters of the way through the season and Zach Davies has a realistic chance at 20 wins. He hasn't been great; his 4.26 ERA is worse than his 3.97 mark from last year, when he went 11-7 in 28 starts. His strikeouts are down and his walks are up. Still, he has taken a step forward this last month and the run support has been there all year long.

Gary Sanchez homers again in Yankees' win

Gary Sanchez continued to swing a hot bat Tuesday, slugging a solo homer and adding a single and a sac fly in a win over the Mets.

Sanchez's bomb off of Jacob deGrom was a no-doubter over the left-field wall and put the Yankees up 4-0 at the time. His sac fly in the eighth inning wound up being the winning run. The young catcher has now homered four times over his last seven contests and has piled up 11 hits during a seven-game hitting streak.

Dominic Smith smacks first MLB home run

Dominic Smith swatted an opposite-field, two-run shot for his first major league home run in Tuesday's loss to the Yankees.

Sonny Gray shut out the Mets through the first six frames, but Smith followed a Wilmer Flores walk by lifting one just over the left-field wall. In addition to it being his first big league homer, it was also Smith's first two RBI. He has a hit in four of five games with the big club.

Chapman felt tightness in hamstring Tuesday

Aroldis Chapman felt tightness in his hamstring on the final play of Wednesday's game against the Mets.

Chapman told reporters after the game that "it's nothing to worry about," but he was clearly grimacing as he came off the mound on Juan Lagares' groundout and he stepped gingerly on the first base bag to complete his 16th save. The closer looked shaky again Tuesday, allowing a two-run homer to Amed Rosario before eventually nailing down the win. David Robertson and Dellin Betances should be owned in most fantasy leagues either way.

Odubel Herrera (hamstring) hopes to avoid DL

Odubel Herrera (hamstring) said he doesn't think he'll need a 10-day disabled list stint.

Herrera was held out of Tuesday's game in San Diego after injuring his left hamstring on Monday night. The last-place Phillies might decide to play it safe here and give the 25-year-old outfielder an extended period of rest, but he remains on the active roster for now. Nick Williams started in center field for the Phillies on Tuesday against the Padres, with Rhys Hoskins in left and Hyun Soo Kim in right.
