Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chris Archer (thumb) was scheduled to play catch on Friday for the first time since going on the injured list with thumb inflammation. Archer could return to the rotation sometime next week if he can avoid setbacks. The right-hander is 1-2 with a 4.33 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 29 K's in 27 innings over his five starts this season. While he has been somewhat of a disappointment in Pittsburgh, Archer still has value in most fantasy leagues when he's healthy.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chris Archer will begin serving his five-game suspension on Sunday for throwing at Cincinnati's Derek Dietrich. Archer had appealed the suspension to get one more turn through the rotation before serving the punishment. He went out and spun seven innings of one-run, four-hit ball while striking out nine and walking just two on Saturday against the Nationals. His next start is scheduled for April 21 at home against San Francisco.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chris Archer plans to appeal his five-game suspension and as a result should make his next scheduled start Saturday. The 30-year-old was suspended as the Pirates and Reds were involved in a brawl that resulted in multiple ejections. The appeal will be heard and weighed, allowing Archer the opportunity to make his next start as a decision is made. The former All-Star has made two starts thus far in 2019, going 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA.

Pittsburgh Pirates starting pitcher Chris Archer was suspended five games for "intentionally throwing a pitch at Derek Dietrich" over the weekend. He will appeal the suspension and remains eligible to play during the appeal. Archer's suspension may not be overturned, so expect to be without him for a little bit in fantasy leagues. The right-hander remained in the game on Sunday and tossed six innings against the Reds.
