From Rotoworld: Diaz could make a spot start for the Padres on Saturday against the Royals. San Diego needs somebody to cover for Jarred Cosart, who landed on the disabled list Tuesday with an elbow strain. Diaz has a brutal 7.83 ERA in 23 innings this season out of the Padres’ bullpen and obviously shouldn’t be considered a fantasy streaming option.
Guerra allowed three earned runs, five hits and four walks with three strikeouts over six innings in Saturday’s loss in Arizona. Guerra has turned in two quality starts his pair of road outings this season, posting a 1-1 record with a 2.25 ERA with seven strikeouts over 12 innings. He’ll look to keep up his solid ways on the road in Thursday’s series finale in St. Louis, but he faces a tough matchup opposite of Carlos Martinez
