  • Grabs save Thursday
    Rogers earned the save in Thursday's 7-6 win over the Pirates, working around a hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Advice: Rogers was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the ninth, with Camilo Doval having pitched three times in the last four days. The Pirates would get a couple of baserunners via an error and a Bryan Reynolds single, but Rogers would ultimately escape unscathed, securing his first save this season. The 33-year-old sidearmer has put together another solid start to the campaign -- his ERA is down to 2.19 with a 0.97 WHIP and 16 strikeouts with no walks across 24.2 innings. While Doval is firmly established as the closer in San Francisco, Rogers is the clear number-two option. Rotowire.com Today, 1:47 pm
     
  • Claimed by M's
    The Mariners claimed Salazar off waivers from the Dodgers on Thursday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: After pitching two scoreless innings for the Dodgers on May 15, Salazar was optioned to Triple-A and later designated for assignment. He'll once again hold a 40-man roster spot with his new club, though he will begin his tenure with the Mariners at Triple-A Tacoma. The 26-year-old right-hander has logged a 5.61 ERA and 1.78 WHIP through 33.2 innings across seven starts in the minors. Rotowire.com Today, 1:46 pm
     
  • M’s claim Eduardo Salazar off waivers from Dodgers
    Mariners claimed RHP Eduardo Salazar off waivers from the Dodgers.

    Advice: Los Angeles was probably hoping to sneak Salazar through waivers after designating him for assignment earlier this week, but he’ll head to Triple-A Tacoma as extra relief depth for Seattle. The 26-year-old righty threw a pair of scoreless frames in his lone appearance for the Dodgers this season. Rotoworld Today, 1:43 pm
     
  • Mariners designate Sammy Peralta for assignment
    Mariners designated LHP Sammy Peralta for assignment.

    Advice: Peralta has been jettisoned from Seattle’s 40-man roster to make room for newly-added reliever Eduardo Salazar. The 26-year-old southpaw didn’t make an appearance for Seattle after being claimed off waivers last month from the White Sox. Rotoworld Today, 1:42 pm
     
  • Yankees outright Colby White to Double-A
    Yankees sent RHP Colby White outright to Double-A Somerset.

    Advice: White passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment earlier this week and will remain with New York as a project reliever. The 25-year-old has yet to ascend to the big leagues and was claimed off waivers earlier this month from Tampa Bay. Rotoworld Today, 1:41 pm
     
  • Another strong outing
    Skenes didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Giants, allowing one run on six hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out three.

    Advice: While Thursday's outing wasn't as dominant as Skene's 11-strikeout performance in his last start, the rookie right-hander was still effective, coaxing a pair of key double-play balls to limit the Giants to just one run. However, the Pirates bullpen would implode late, leaving Skenes with a no-decision in an eventual 7-6 loss. Skenes now sports a 2.25 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP and an impressive 21:4 K:BB through his first three starts (16 innings). He's currently in line for a road matchup with the Tigers in his next outing.

  • Robert Suarez nails down 14th save against Reds
    Robert Suarez fired a scoreless 10th to pick up a save against the Reds on Thursday.

    Advice: That’s already the 14th save of the season for Suarez; putting him at right around a 40-save pace at this stage of the season. The right-hander hasn’t just helped in that category, as the scoreless 10th puts his ERA at a sparkling 0.40 for the 2024 campaign. There were question marks about Suarez being a stopper for the Padres coming into the season. Over the first 50-plus games, that question has been answered rather emphatically.

  • Matt Waldron gives up two, gets no-decision
    Matt Waldron didn’t factor into the decision Thursday against the Reds after allowing two runs over five innings with seven strikeouts.

    Advice: Waldron gave up both of his runs in his first two innings before settling down quite nicely. The 27-year-old gave up six hits and two walks in another solid effort for the knuckleballer after scuffling in the early portion of the season. He’s absolutely worth streaming consideration; particularly in a start Tuesday against the Marlins. Rotoworld Today, 1:29 pm
     
  • Frankie Montas surrenders four runs vs. Padres
    Frankie Montas was charged for four runs in six innings in a no-decision against the Padres on Thursday.

    Advice: This could have gone a lot worse. Montas gave up all four runs in the first two innings, but he was effective enough to give Cincinnati — and fantasy managers — six innings despite allowing nine hits in the contest. The right-hander has been shaky at best for Cincinnati over the first third of the season with a 4.64 ERA over nine starts as evidence. He’ll try and lower that mark next week against the Cardinals.
