Jake Odorizzi is out for the season after shoulder surgery. The Rangers traded a prospect for him in November and he will not throw a pitch for them in 2023 and will become a free agent at the end of this season.

And the pitcher they traded for him, Kolby Allard, is on the 60-day IL.  The proverbial trade that helped neither team?

Just rephrase the question: "Who least lost?" or "Who lost less?"

Tough break for Odorizzi .. and the Rangers. But the Rangers finally have more depth with their starting pitching this year, especially if DeGrom stays healthy.

Josh Donaldson to the IL with hamstring issues.

Devin Smeltzer is back in the major leagues. His contract was selected today by the Marlins.

Jose Berrios is really fighting it. 0-2, ERA of 11.17, WHIP of 1.86.  Batting average against of .349. I feel sorry for the guy.

Yeah, a sad start for Jose after a lackluster season last year. It's still early, so hope he can turns things around, but those are brutal early numbers.

Over in Atlanta yesterday Michael Tonkin pitched: 3 scoreless innings and only gave up 1 hit with 3 strikeouts. And in their bullpen Nick Anderson pitched a scoreless inning. 

[Doctor Wu]

Baltimore is making use of Danny Coulombe in the bullpen, He pitched another scoreless inning yesterday, his ERA remaining at 0.00. In the same game, Brent Rooker had 2 hits for Oakland, but nothing for extra bases.

In Baltimore, don’t forget Tyler Wells.

Brutal for TX. Yeowch.

Rooker hit his first homer for Oakland yesterday, and good ole Eddie Rosario hit one out for Atlanta. Hope that both players can continue to contribute to their new teams.

Had Giants/Dodgers game on audio last night.

Taylor Rogers came in relief for the 6th inn. Walked 3 batters to load the bases. Freeman (4th batter) took him to a 15-pitch at bat before walking him, with a run scoring 4th walk in a row.

His ERA ballooned to over 18 with a WHIP of 3.0.

Taylor's response. He tossed his mitt into the trash can in the dugout and punched some warmup jackets a couple of times. https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2023/04/13/giants-taylor-rogers-trashes-glove-vs-dodgers

Someone woke up Brent Rooker. Three homers in two days. He’s hitting .333 with three homers and nine RBI.

Yeah, what a great game for Rooker with 2 more homers, but again in a losing cause. And the pitcher of record in the loss: our old buddy Trevor May.

And over in Boston, Rob Refsnyder hit his first homer of the year for the Red Sox.

May got Oakland’s first two wins in relief, but his numbers are pretty bad.

Tommy Milone called up by SEA. I've always wondered what the feeling of hitting a HR on the first pitch you ever sees feels like. Especially for a pitcher hitting one.

[Doctor Wu]

Rooker keeps doing it; another homer yesterday, but once again Oakland lost!

[FlyingFinn]

Dennis Santana DFA'd by the Mets.

[IndianaTwin]

Tommy Milone signed a minor league contract with Seattle, got called up for a spot start yesterday and DFAed today.

Berrios gets the #4 slot for the Jays...and gets hammered in his first start.

After a couple of rough starts Berrios finally found the magic and was the starting pitcher who finally stopped Tampa Bay's incredible win streak!
