Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Clay Buchholz has been activated from the disabled list and will start on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs. Matt Koch was sent to Triple-A in a corresponding move. Buchholz was out of action for a month with an oblique strain, but now appears ready to go. He has pitched to an impressive 2-1 record with a 2.56 ERA and a 31/7 K/BB ratio this season. Despite his numbers, Buchholz is facing a tough Cubs team on Tuesday and is not a recommended streamer. If he pe[...]

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Clay Buchholz (oblique) will return from the disabled list to start Tuesday against the Cubs. Buchholz has been way better than anyone could've expected for Arizona this year, going 2-1 with a 2.56 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 7.2 K/9 over seven starts. If he continues to pitch anywhere near that level in the second half, he'll certainly be one to own in mixed leagues. However, avoiding him in his first start back on the road against the Cubs is a smart idea.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Clay Buchholz (oblique), who was scheduled to throw around 75 to 80 pitches with High-A Visalia on Thursday, is expected to rejoin the rotation on Tuesday against the Cubs in place of starting pitcher Shelby Miller (elbow). Buchholz has been a nice surprise for Arizona this year, going 2-1 with a 2.56 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 7.2 K/9 in seven starts. However, he's not an enticing fantasy streamer against a strong Cubs team in his first start off the disabled list.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Clay Buchholz will throw another bullpen session on Tuesday and then the team will decide on a rehab assignment after that. Buchholz has been on the disabled list with an oblique injury and is hoping to return soon and add some needed stability in the back of the Diamondbacks rotation. Buchholz was having a great year so far with a 2.56 ERA and 0.96 [...]

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Clay Buchholz (oblique) has been placed on the 10-day disabled list with a strained left oblique. The veteran righty suffered the injury during his start on Sunday versus the Pirates. Buchholz does not think the injury is serious, but he'll take four days off from throwing. He'll likely need more than the minimum DL stay. Fantasy owners who own Buchholz should hold onto him unless a better option becomes available.

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Clay Buchholz went five great innings on Sunday against the Pirates giving up only two hits and striking out five before being pulled with tightness in his left side. So far the severity of the injury is unknown, but if it is an oblique injury, a trip to the disabled list is probable. If it's not, he is slated to face the Giants on Friday night. More news will be sure to follow soon.

Due to the deluge at PNC Park Wednesday, the Pittsburgh Pirates rotation has been pushed back a day and will set up this way for the four game set against the Arizona Diamondbacks: Chad Kuhl on Thursday against Zack Godley, Ivan Nova to go Friday and face Patrick Corbin, Joe Musgrove pitching Saturday against Zack Greinke, and Trevor Williams to close the series on Sunday against Clay Buchholz. The game against the Brewers will be a made up as a straight doubleheader on July 14.

Arizona Diamondbacks starter Clay Buchholz was solid Wednesday, giving up two runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings. He did not factor in the decision. Buchholz has been excellent since debuting with the Diamondbacks, posting a 1-1 record with a 1.88 ERA. In fact, this was the first time in four starts that Buchholz has given up more than a single run. His next start will come Tuesday at home against Pittsburgh.

Arizona Diamondbacks starter Matt Koch (4-3) was brilliant on Sunday, shutting out the Marlins over seven innings while giving up just three hits and striking out six. It was by far Koch's best start of the season, and a nice bounce back effort after allowing five runs to the Reds in his last start. The six strikeouts represented a season a season high for Koch, who now holds a 3.76 ERA. Koch will need to compete with the resurgent Clay Buchholz for a rotation spot when Robbie Ray returns from t[...]
