    • Justin Martinez goes three scoreless in relief win
      Justin Martinez fanned five in three scoreless innings of relief for a win against the Dodgers on Thursday.

      Advice: Most relief wins are largely a product of being in the right place at the right time, but Martinez certainly earned this one. With his walk rate somewhat under control (he’s issued 17 free passes in 35 innings), he’s been one of the NL’s best relievers since making his 2024 debut on Apr. 17, amassing a 1.54 ERA in 35 innings.

    • Pete Fairbanks picks up 14th save Thursday vs. Royals
      Peter Fairbanks gave up one run and picked up his 14th save of the season on Thursday against the Royals.

      Advice: Fairbanks gave up a solo home run to Bobby Witt Jr. in a three-run game in the ninth inning, but still managed to hang on to preserve the win. Fairbanks has a 3.23 ERA on the season and just saved his ninth game since June 1. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:43 pm
       
    • Marsh allows five in loss to Rays on Thursday
      Alex Marsh allowed five runs in three innings and took the loss against the Rays on Thursday.



      Advice: Marsh gave up six hits, walked three and struck out one. The Royals had seen enough after three innings and 75 pitches from Marsh. He allowed two runs in the first on an RBI groundout by Randy Arozarena and an RBI double by Josh Lowe. Jonny DeLuca hit a solo home run and Richie Palacios had an RBI single in the second inning. DeLuca added an RBI single in the third inning and Marsh didn’t come back out for the fourth inning. Marsh has a 4.57 ERA, but has won six games this season. The 26-year-old right-hander is set to face the Cardinals on the road next week.

    • Beeks picks up seventh save Thursday
      Jalen Beeks threw 1 1/3 scoreless innings and picked up the save against the Brewers on Thursday.

      Advice: It was Beeks’ seventh save of the year. He had blown his last three save opportunities. Beeks’ save was his first save since May 31st. He has a 4.19 ERA on the season. He has five wins and seven saves on the season, but isn’t the most reliable late inning arm in fantasy. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:54 pm
       
    • Greg Weissert picks up save against Marlins
      Greg Weissert allowed an unearned run while picking up a save against the Marlins on Thursday.

      Advice: The run was the “zombie” runner that starts at second base to begin every inning after the ninth. That’s the first save of the season for Weissert, and being blunt, it’s very likely the last. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:49 pm
       
    • Kyle Tyler gives up two runs in no-decision vs. BOS
      Kyle Tyler gave up two runs in 5 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Red Sox on Thursday.

      Advice: Tyler gave up just three hits throughout the contest, and he walked two while fanning three. The right-hander gave up a run on a fielder’s choice in the first by Rafael Devers, and Devers grounded out again for a run in the sixth; this time after Tyler had left the game. The results have been fine for the 27-year-old since joining the Miami rotation, but there appears to be some smoke and mirrors to it without much swing-and-miss. It’d be a mistake to trust him as an option against the Astros next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:49 pm

    • Pivetta takes no hitter into seventh vs. Marlins
      Nick Pivetta struck out 10 while allowing just one hit over seven scoreless innings, but he didn’t pick up a decision against the Marlins on Thursday.

      Advice: Pivetta took a no-no into the seventh inning, but he gave up his first hit with two outs in that frame on a triple to Jesus Sanchez. It was a dominating effort for the 31-year-old, and nice to see after a run of mediocre starts for the right-hander. It certainly helped that he was facing a well-below-average lineup in Miami, but Pivetta’s stuff would’ve beaten most Thursday. Unfortunately, the bullpen didn’t get the job done. Pivetta gets another favorable matchup on paper next week against the A’s. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:49 pm
       
    • Josh Hader works around hit to pick up save
      Josh Hader allowed a hit but no runs while picking up a save Thursday against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Hader gave up the hit, but worked around it while picking up his 14th save for the surging Astros. The left-hander needed just nine pitches to get through the inning, and six of those went for strikes. There’s every reason to believe Hader will be one of the best closers in baseball during the second half of the 2024 campaign. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:52 pm
       
    • Rays recall Justin Sterner from Triple-A Durham
      Rays recalled RHP Justin Sterner from Triple-A Durham.

      Advice: The 27-year-old right-hander has pitched well in two appearances with the Rays this season, posting a 2.25 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and a 4/1 K/BB ratio over his four innings of work. He’ll give manager Kevin Cash another option to deploy in the middle innings. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:42 pm
