    Dodgers transferred RHP Connor Brogdon to the 60-day injured list from the 15-day injured list.
    Brogdon is now off the 40-man roster and it clears room for Anthony Banda. The right-hander has no timetable for a return at this point, but won’t be eligible to come off the injured list now until the middle of June.

    Calvin Faucher slammed the door on the Mets on Thursday evening, protecting a three-run lead in the ninth inning to earn his 13th save of the season.
    Faucher wasn’t messing around in this one, going right through the heart of the Mets’ lineup. He retired Starling Marte on a fly ball to center, Francisco Lindor on a swinging third strike and Juan Soto on a ground ball to second base to end it, needing just seven pitches (six strikes) to get the job done. He now boasts a 3.35 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and a 49/21 K/BB ratio over 51 innings on the season while converting 13 of his first 18 save chances.
    Top prospect Tong 'an electric starting pitcher'
    Eric Samulski details what fantasy baseball managers can expect from starting pitcher Jonah Tong in his MLB debut Friday night against the Marlins, sharing why the 22-year-old stud should be added in all league formats.
  • MIA Starting Pitcher #60
    Adam Mazur did a serviceable job in a spot start for the Marlins on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits over four innings in a no-decision against the Mets.
    Mazur struck out two opposing batters on the night while issuing one base on balls. All of the damage done against him came in the opening inning on a two-run double off the bat of Brandon Nimmo. He settled in nicely after that and finished his day with three scoreless frames. Mazur got eight swings and misses on only 60 pitches on the night — four of them on his slider — while posting a strong CSW of 33 percent. It’s unclear if he’ll stick around to make another start against the Nationals on Tuesday in Washington, though he could be an interesting streaming option in deeper leagues if he does.
  • NYM 1st Baseman #20
    Pete Alonso went 2-for-4 and slugged his 30th home run of the season on Thursday night, but it wasn’t enough to power the Mets past the Marlins.
    Alonso doubled off of Adam Mazur in the opening inning and scored on a two-run double off the bat of Brandon Nimmo. He then tagged Lake Bachar for a game-tying, 425-foot (111.4 mph EV) two-run shot in the fifth inning. That would be the last of the scoring for the Mets in the ballgame though. Alonso has now eclipsed the 30-homer plateau in six of his first seven seasons — the only exception being the truncated 2020 campaign. With his two-hit night, he’s now slashing .267/.348/.514 with the 30 long balls and 108 RBI.
  • NYM Relief Pitcher #35
    Clay Holmes pitched decently in a no-decision against the Marlins on Thursday night, allowing four runs (two earned) on five hits over his five frames.
    Holmes punched out two batters on the night while allowing only one base on balls. The Marlins scratched out a run against him in the opening inning, then piled on with three more in the third — two of which were unearned as a result of a throwing error that Holmes made himself. The 32-year-old hurler got just three whiffs on 88 pitches in the ballgame, posting a CSW of 23 percent. He’ll look to get back in the win column as he totes a 3.60 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 111/56 K/BB ratio (142 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Tigers in Detroit.
  • PHI Left Fielder #12
    Kyle Schwarber made history in Thursday night’s 19-4 rout over the Braves, becoming just the 21st player in MLB history to hit four home runs in a single game.
    The 32-year-old slugger got things started in the opening inning with a colossal 450-foot (111.7 mph EV) solo shot off of Cal Quantrill. He then victimized Austin Cox in the fourth inning for a 383-foot (102.7 mph EV) two-run shot. He tagged Cox again in the fifth inning — that time for a 378-foot (101.0 mph EV) three-run blast that extended the Phillies’ lead to 15-3. He then crushed a 407-foot (108.9 mph EV) three-run blast off of Wander Suero in the seventh that made it 18-4. Schwarber finished the historic evening 4-for-6 with nine RBI. While it’s just the 21st instance of a four-homer game in MLB history, astonishingly, it’s the third time that it has happened already this season with Schwarber joining Nick Kurtz and Eugenio Suarez. He’s now slashing .248/.370/.586 with 49 homers and 119 RBI on the season.
  • PHI Center Fielder #2
    Harrison Bader went 4-for-5 with a triple and three runs scored in a lopsided victory over the Braves on Thursday evening in Philadelphia.
    Bader smacked a one-out triple off of Cal Quantrill in the fourth inning and scored on Bryson Stott’s RBI single. He then led off the fifth inning with a single and rode home on Kyle Schwarber’s three-run blast. The 31-year-old outfielder also doubled in the seventh and once again scored on a three-run shot by Schwarber. He finished his four-hit night with an infield single off of Vidal Brujan in the eighth inning. On the season, Bader is now slashing a healthy .269/.351/.450 with 14 homers, 44 RBI and 10 stolen bases in his first 385 plate appearances.
  • PHI 1st Baseman #3
    Bryce Harper went 2-for-3 with a solo homer and three runs scored on Thursday night as the Phillies routed the Braves.
    Harper singled off of Cal Quantrill in the opening inning and rode home on J.T. Realmuto’s two-run blast. The 32-year-old slugger then did some yard work of his own with a mammoth 442-foot (107.3 mph EV) blast to center on the first pitch of the third inning. He also walked in the fourth inning and scored on a two-run double off the bat of Alec Bohm. On the season, he’s now slashing .270/.362/.505 with 22 long balls, 63 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 467 plate appearances.
  • PHI Starting Pitcher #27
    Aaron Nola picked up his third victory of the season on Thursday night, limiting the Braves to four runs on four hits over his six innings of work.
    The 32-year-old hurler struck out four batters on the evening while issuing three free passes. The Braves jumped on him for three runs in the top of the first inning, then Nola settled in nicely and kept them off the board until Matt Olson swatted a solo homer in the sixth inning. He got seven whiffs on 95 pitches on the night — five of them on his fastball — while posting a CSW of 23 percent. He’ll look to extend his winning streak to three as he brings a 6.47 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 66/21 K/BB ratio (64 innings) into a tough matchup against the Brewers in Milwaukee on Wednesday.
  • ATL 1st Baseman #28
    Matt Olson went 1-for-2 and belted his 21st home run of the season as the Braves were clobbered by the Phillies on Thursday evening in Philadelphia.
    Olson worked Aaron Nola for a walk in the top half of the first inning and came around to score on a two-run single off the bat of Michael Harris II. He then tagged Nola for a 378-foot (101.1 mph EV) solo shot in the sixth inning that pulled the Braves to within 11 runs at 15-4. He drew a pair of walks in the ballgame, reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances. For the season, the 31-year-old slugger is now slashing .266/.364/.456 with 21 long balls and 75 RBI.
  • ATL Starting Pitcher #48
    Cal Quantrill was obliterated in Thursday night’s loss to the Phillies, surrendering nine runs on nine hits over his 3 1/3 innings of work.
    Quantrill didn’t walk or strike out a batter in the abbreviated outing. He served up three home runs in the opening inning — to Kyle Schwarber, J.T. Realmuto and Max Kepler — and also gave up a solo blast to Bryce Harper in the third inning. The 30-year-old hurler got just three swings and misses on 53 pitches on the night, posting a miserable CSW of only 17 percent. This is the type of outing that could get him designated for assignment on Friday morning. If he sticks around, he’ll carry a 6.04 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and an 85/35 K/BB ratio (117 2/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Cubs in Chicago.
