  • Allows one run in quality start
    Mize did not factor into the decision Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over six innings against the Nationals. He struck out four.

    Advice: Mize's only run allowed came on a sacrifice fly in the fourth, otherwise stymying the Nationals through six. It was the fifth quality start this season for Mize, and his first since May 15. Over his four starts since, he had compiled an 8.22 ERA and 2.48 ERA over 15.1 innings entering Thursday's contest. His next start is currently slated to take place next week when the Tigers travel to Atlanta for a three-game set. Rotowire.com Today, 3:02 pm

  • Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) throws another sim game
    Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) threw a three-inning simulated game on Thursday at Dodgers Stadium.

    Advice: Kershaw, who is in the final stages of his rehabilitation from offseason shoulder surgery, appears poised to embark on a minor league rehab assignment at some point next week and could be ready to jump back into the Dodgers’ starting rotation following next month’s All-Star break.

  • Mitch Keller gives up first homers in five weeks
    Mitch Keller lost to the Cardinals after giving up four runs in six innings Thursday.

    Advice: Keller had gone five straight starts without allowing a homer and hadn’t yielded more than one in any outing this season, but both Paul Goldschmidt and Brendan Donovan left the yard against him today. It’s the first time he’s given up more than two runs since Apr. 30. He’s now 8-4 with a 3.36 ERA. Rotoworld Today, 2:57 pm
     
  • Casey Mize gets first quality start in a month
    Casey Mize surrendered one run over six innings Thursday in a no-decision against the Nationals.

    Advice: It’s Mize’s first quality start since May 15, though it wasn’t enough for his first win since Apr. 21. The Tigers did prevail by scoring six runs after Mize exited. They are actually 8-5 when Mize starts this year, but the right-hander is nonetheless sporting a 1-4 record with a 4.43 ERA. Rotoworld Today, 1:28 pm

  • Bobby Miller to make rehab start Thursday at AAA
    Bobby Miller will make another minor league rehab start on Thursday for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Miller will return to Los Angeles if he gets through this latest rehab outing without any issues. The 25-year-old righty has been on the shelf since mid-April due to right shoulder inflammation, but it sounds like he’s really close to making it back. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:12 pm
     
  • Geared up for another rehab start
    Miller (shoulder) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Miller was effective in his last outing with Oklahoma City, pitching four innings, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out two batters Friday. Manager Dave Roberts said that if all goes well Thursday, it'll be Miller's final appearance of his rehab assignment before he'll return to the major-league roster. The 25-year-old has been on the 15-day injured list since April 13 due to right shoulder inflammation, but Miller now appears to be on the doorstep of making his return after two months on the shelf.

  • Could make another rehab start
    The Dodgers may be leaning toward having Miller (shoulder) make another rehab start in the minors, per MLB.com.

    Advice: In Miller's most recent rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Friday, he worked four-plus innings and threw 85 pitches while sitting at 97-to-98 mph on his fastball. There had been talk of that appearance being the right-hander's final one in the minors before his return to the Dodgers' rotation, but it appears the organization may instead want him to get in one more rehab start. Miller said after Friday's appearance that he felt healthy, so an additional minor-league outing appears to be less about his health and more about his effectiveness -- he's posted a 6.97 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 6:5 K:BB over 10.1 innings during his rehab stint thus far. The Dodgers begin a stretch Tuesday during which they play on 13 consecutive days, so it stands to reason that if Miller doesn't have any setbacks, he'll be back in the majors sometime during that span.

  • Making another start
    Munoz is scheduled to start Thursday's game against the Mets, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The right-hander was called up from Triple-A Jacksonville earlier in the weekend and started in Saturday's loss to the Guardians. He gave up four runs over four innings during that outing and has a 5.95 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 22:11 K:BB over 19.2 frames in his four starts for the Marlins on the season, but he'll get at least one more turn through the rotation while Miami waits for the likes of Edward Cabrera (shoulder), Ryan Weathers (finger) and Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) to return from the injured list.

  • Roddery Muñoz allows two homers, four runs
    Roddery Muñoz picked up a loss while allowing four runs in four innings Saturday against the Guardians.

    Advice: Muñoz was recalled to make a start Saturday, and it didn’t go particularly well. The 24-year-old allowed a pair of homers and walked four, although he was at least able to pick up three strikeouts. Muñoz will likely get another chance to start with Miami, but there’s very little fantasy upside when that takes place regardless of the opponent. Rotoworld Saturday, 9:59 pm
