Sat Jul 30 202200:31Connor Brogdon Gets First Save Of The Season
Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Connor Brogdon was asked to take the ball during the 10th inning of Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Phillies didn't have too many options left with Seranthony Dominguez, Brad Hand, and Jose Alvarado being used already in this contest. That being said, Brogdon was given the chance to close out the game with a two-run lead. He did a fine job, allowing no hits and striking out one batter in the win. It was his first save of the season, but it's surprising he hasn't been given more chances with how well he has pitched this season. The right-hander currently holds a 2.05 ERA through 24 appearances. Possibly, Brogdon gets more high leverage spots down the road, but he can continue to be ignored in most fantasy formats right now.

Fri Apr 15 202208:23Connor Brogdon, Damon Jones Optioned To Triple-A
The Philadelphia Phillies optioned relief pitchers Connor Brogdon and Damon Jones to Triple-A on Thursday. The team added a pair of fellow relievers to the roster in corresponding moves. Andrew Bellatti was called up from Triple-A and James Norwood was reinstated from the bereavement list. Brogdon allowed two earned runs over 2/3 of an inning in his last appearance. He was a solid bullpen arm for the team last year, appearing in 56 games and tallying 11 holds while pitching to a 3.43ERA and a 1.13 WHIP. Jones, meanwhile, was off to a rough start to the year, allowing four earned runs over 2 2/3 innings.

Mon Apr 4 202209:42Connor Brogdon Back On Normal Pitching Program
Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Connor Brogdon has raised some alarms this spring, primarily based on his velocity dipping substantially. The right-hander has seen his fastball sitting around 92-93 mph this spring. Last spring, the pitch was sitting in the 94-95 mph range while topping out at 96 mph. He's appeared in three spring games and pitched 2 1/3 innings. Over those innings, he's allowed five hits, four walks and four earned runs while striking out two. The team has been observing him closely over the past few days, but according to Alex Coffey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, he is back on a normal pitching program and he will pitch in the team's spring game against the Pirates on Tuesday. Coffey notes that Brogdon says he feels good physically and that he believes he's ready for Opening Day.

Wed Jun 9 202101:55Pirates' Hayes misses 1B on homer, Dodgers beat Bucs 5-3
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ke’Bryan Hayes hastily missed first base and was called out after hitting a first-inning homer, sending Walker Buehler on his way to seven scoreless innings as the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-3 Tuesday night. The Pirates star rookie stung an opposite-field line drive in the first inning against Buehler that narrowly cleared the right-field wall, just inside the foul pole. Running hard and with his eyes on the ball, Hayes missed touching first base with his left foot by two or three inches and kept on going. Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts challenged, and umpires overturned the call after a short video review. Buehler (5-0) retired his last 13 batters and had two hits to raise his career batting average to .124. He allowed two hits, struck out two and walked one while throwing 93 pitches. Pirates rookie JT Brubaker (4-5) shut out the Dodgers through four innings but did not make it out of the fifth, when Los Angeles scored three times. Kenley Jansen... [More]

Sat May 15 202100:38Judge homers twice as banged-up Yankees top Orioles 5-4
BALTIMORE (AP) — Aaron Judge went deep twice and Gio Urshela delivered a key pinch-hit shot, leading the banged-up New York Yankees to a 5-4 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night. Judge is now 10 for 19 with five homers against the Orioles this season. He has 13 career multihomer games, five of them against Baltimore. Urshela is still hampered by a left knee injury but was available off the bench in the seventh. After Miguel Andújar singled and Kyle Higashioka walked, Urshela hit the second pinch-hit homer of his career off Travis Lakins (1-4) to erase a 4-2 deficit. The Yankees were missing several key players, including shortstop Gleyber Torres (COVID-19), center fielder Aaron Hicks (left wrist) and slugger Giancarlo Stanton, who was a late scratch with left quad tightness. Yankees starter Corey Kluber (3-2) allowed four runs over six innings. Jonathan Loáisiga picked up his second save. RAYS 3, METS 2 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.
