Arizona Diamondbacks starter Kris Medlen gave up seven runs on nine hits and four walks across four innings in Friday's loss to the Astros. Medlen was making his first major league start since 2016, in place of the injured Robbie Ray. It did not go as Medlen envisioned, as the Astros got to him early, plating four runs on five hits in the first two frames. There's been no word on whether Medlen will keep his spot in the rotation or if long reliever T.J. McFarland will make a few spot starts. In [...]

Arizona Diamondback starting pitcher Kris Medlen is scheduled to pitch against the Houston Astros on Friday. He'll be taking the place of Robbie Ray (oblique) in the starting rotation. Medlen has not pitched in the MLB since 2016 and has a 6.00 ERA in 18 innings at Triple-A this season. He's not worth adding in any fantasy leagues, especially against Houston.

With Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Robbie Ray going down with an oblique injury, it appears as if Kris Medlen will get the first shot at his rotation spot while he is on the DL. Medlen is yet to be confirmed as the starter but was recently scratched from his start in Triple-A. Medlen hasn't appeared in the MLB since 2016 and while his career 3.25 ERA looks nice on paper, only 75 of his 173 appearances has come as a starter. He should be left on the waiver wire going forward.

Eyes turned to the Braves' Triple-A Gwinnett squad this afternoon as Kris Medlen made his first appearance with the new squad. His impact was relatively disappointing as he failed to pitch through the sixth inning, allowing five hits (including a Yoan Moncada home run), yielding three earned runs, w[...]

Follow-up examinations confirmed on Thursday that Kris Medlen suffered a strained right shoulder, and Ned Yost told reporters that he will be shut down for at least a couple of weeks to allow it to recover. Medlen’s road through professional baseball continues to be littered with DL stints, so fan[...]

Kris Medlen, the perpetually injured Royals starting pitcher, has suffered a setback while rehabbing his rotator cuff injury at Triple-A Omaha. Medlen was diagnosed with a strained throwing shoulder after leaving early in his most recent start, and he will be reexamined next [...]

Kris Medlen’s recovery from rotator cuff inflammation has been progressing slowly, and he took another step forward on Saturday as he pitched well at Triple-A Omaha. Medlen’s pitch count is still low, so he will have a few more starts in the minors before being considered for a major league retu[...]

Danny Duffy has been having a solid season in short relief for the Royals with a 3.00 ERA and 21:5 K/BB ratio. [...]

Kris Medlen reported shoulder soreness after his last start, so he will be seeing a physician on Thursday. After starting the season with three solid outings and one poor showing, Medlen has been chased from both of his most recent starts after just two innings pitched. His ERA has risen to 7.77 [...]

Seattle's offense struggled in a big way on Friday as they faced off against right-hander Kris Medlen and the Kansas City Royals on Friday night. The Mariners tallied only one hit in the contest, going 1-for-24 overall. Their one hit, a solo home run by right fielder Seth Smith, was the difference a[...]
