Diamondbacks acquire Blake Swihart on Friday

The Arizona Diamondbacks have acquired catcher Blake Swihart from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for outfielder Marcus Wilson.

What It Means:

Swihart will head to Arizona after the Red Sox designated him for assignment earlier this week. Look for the 27-year old to get some playing time at catcher behind Carson Kelly.

In 26 at-bats this season, Swihart produced one home run and four RBI.

Jacob deGrom (elbow) placed on the 10-day IL by New York

New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom (elbow) has been placed on the 10-day injured list retroactive to April 16.

The start of the Giants-Pirates game on Friday delayed due to rain

Tyler Chatwood to start for the Cubs on Sunday

Chicago Cubs pitcher Tyler Chatwood will start on Sunday versus the Arizona Diamondbacks.

What It Means:

Chatwood was scheduled to start last Sunday before the game was rained out. He will take the hill this Sunday though, bumping Jose Quintana back a couple of days to Tuesday. Chatwood has not thrown more than 2 innings in relief this season, so don't expect him to go very deep against Arizona.

Chatwood owns a 6.00 ERA and 1.83 WHIP with 6 strikeouts in 6 innings pitched this season.
