    • José Ureña loses in return to Coors Field
      José Ureña took a loss at Coors Field despite allowing just two runs over 6 2/3 innings Sunday against the Rockies.

      Advice: Urena has benefitted from facing two of the game’s worst offenses in two starts since moving into the Texas rotation, but he’s done nice work, giving up a total of four runs in the two games. He has a 3.62 ERA in 32 1/3 innings overall. Rotoworld Today, 4:06 pm

    • Brendan Rodgers gets first career stolen base
      Brendan Rodgers went 2-for-3 with a walk and his first career stolen base Sunday against the Rangers.

      Advice: Rodgers actually went 12-for-15 stealing bases in Double-A in 2018. Since then, he’d gone 66 games in Triple-A and 352 in the majors without ever attempting even one. Rodgers must be feeling especially good, seeing that he’s batting .350 over his last 16 games. It’s just too bad he has the same number of homers as steals this year. Rotoworld Today, 4:05 pm
       
    • Hunter Goodman goes 0-for-3 against Rangers
      Hunter Goodman went 0-for-3 before being lifted from Sunday’s game against the Rangers.

      Advice: This makes back-to-back days that Goodman, who homered Saturday, has started over Elehuris Montero at first base. Prior to that, Goodman had started just once in seven games and twice in 11 games. That the Rockies are handling one of their better prospects like this is rather baffling, but Goodman isn’t inspiring much confidence with his 2-for-21 start, even if both of his hits have been homers. Barring a very good week, he’ll probably return to Triple-A once either Nolan Jones or Kris Bryant returns. Rotoworld Today, 4:05 pm

    • Three-run homer in win
      Bell went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run, two walks and two runs scored in Sunday's 7-6 extra-win over the Phillies.

      Advice: Bell was able to take Zack Wheeler deep for a three-run shot in the bottom of the third inning, giving the Marlins a 4-3 lead. The long ball was his fifth of the season and second of the month. The first baseman has produced a .270 average with two home runs, eight RBI and three runs scored over 37 at-bats in 11 games in May. Rotowire.com Today, 4:01 pm

    • Patrick Bailey scratched due to illness on Sunday
      Patrick Bailey was scratched from the Giants’ starting lineup on Sunday due to a viral illness.

      Advice: At least his absence wasn’t concussion-related, but we’ve seen these viral illnesses going around many MLB clubs and they’ve been forcing players to miss extended time. The good news is that he’s considered day-to-day and shouldn’t require a return trip to the injured list, but he may wind up needing a couple of days before he’s ready to return.

    • Struggles in 2024 debut
      Garrett pitched 5.1 innings, allowing five runs on five hits and two walks while striking out eight batters in Sunday's 7-6 extra-inning win over the Phillies. He did not factor into the decision.

      Advice: Garrett got off to a slow start in his season debut, giving up three runs in the top of the first inning on a homer by Nick Castellanos. He then tossed four scoreless frames before two more runs came around to score while he secured just one out in the top of the sixth frame. The left-hander did impress in the strikeouts department though, punching out at least eight batters for the first time since June 22 of the 2023 campaign versus the Pirates. Garrett will look to produce a more well-rounded performance in his next start, which is tentatively set for Saturday at home versus the Mets. Rotowire.com Today, 3:53 pm
       
    • TJ Friedl diagnosed with left thumb contusion
      The Reds announced that TJ Friedl was diagnosed with a left thumb contusion after being hit by a pitch during Sunday’s game against the Giants.

      Advice: Fortunately, X-rays came back negative on Friedl’s thumb after he was pulled from Sunday’s game. That wasn’t before he swiped a base and scored a run in the top half of the first inning though. He may wind up missing a game or two due to pain and swelling, but it sounds like Friedl should be able to avoid a return trip to the injured list. Rotoworld Today, 3:51 pm

    • Hunter Renfroe plates two as Royals top Angels
      Hunter Renfroe went 2-for-4 and drove in a pair of runs on Sunday afternoon, leading the Royals to a 4-2 victory over the Angels.

      Advice: Renfroe opened things up with a two-run single off of Patrick Sandoval in the fourth inning that extended the Royals’ lead to 3-0 and proved to be the difference in the ballgame. Even with his two knocks on the afternoon, the 32-year-old slugger is still hitting a woeful .153/.223/.261 with only three homers and 15 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Today, 3:48 pm
       
    • James McArthur closes out Angels to nab ninth save
      James McArthur served up a solo homer in the ninth inning on Sunday, but managed to escape with a two-run lead intact to secure his ninth save of the season.

      Advice: The 27-year-old right-hander allowed a one-out solo shot to Willie Calhoun but retired each of the other three hitters that he faced — needing just 11 pitches total (eight strikes) to navigate the ninth inning. On the season, he now holds a 4.42 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and an 18/3 K/BB ratio across 18 1/3 innings while converting nine of his first 12 save chances. Despite some recent struggles, Royals’ skipper Matt Quatraro seems committed to keeping McArthur in the closer’s role, which means he’ll continue to have mixed league fantasy value.
