  • Set to start Saturday
    Anderson will start Saturday's game against the Mariners, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Anderson made his first big-league start of the season June 14 and gave up four earned runs across only two innings of work. He's worked longer stints while at Triple-A Jacksonville, so it's possible that he could pitch deep enough into the game to be eligible for the win if he can find more effectiveness. Anderson is not on the Marlins' roster, so a formal roster move will have to occur prior to Saturday's game. Rotowire.com Today, 9:40 pm
     
  • Jhoan Duran blows save in eighth against A’s
    Jhoan Duran blew a save while allowing two runs and also picked up a loss to the A’s on Friday.

    Advice: Duran has lost three games in 2024, but this was technically his first blown save of the year. The right-hander came in during the eighth, but gave up a hit to Daz Cameron and then a two-run blast to Shea Langeliers. A disappointing effort for fantasy teams and the Twins, but Duran should still be counted on going forward. Rotoworld Today, 9:09 pm
     
  • Mason Miller needs just seven pitches for save
    Mason Miller struck out one in a clean ninth to get a save against the Twins on Friday.

    Advice: Miller “only” picked up one strikeout, but he also needed just seven pitches to get through the outing with five of those landing for strikes. The 25-year-old has locked down 14 saves for the A’s in 2024, and his ERA is a very healthy 2.08. The future is incredibly bright for Miller as long as he can stay on the field, but this version is pretty darn good, too. Rotoworld Today, 9:09 pm

  • Chris Paddack ineffective again against A’s
    Chris Paddack picked up no decision Friday against the A’s after being charged for three runs in 4 2/3 innings.

    Advice: Paddack gave up five hits, and he also had issues with control as seen in three walks and 52-of-82 pitches landing for strikes. I’s a better outing then Sunday’s struggles against the Athletics, but that’s not saying much since he gave up five runs in 2 1/3 innings in that start. The 28-year-old now has an unhealthy 5.28 ERA on the season, and he’ll try and get on track against the Diamondbacks next week. Rotoworld Today, 9:08 pm

  • Hammered for eight runs
    Hudson (2-10) allowed eight runs on 11 hits and two walks over three-plus innings while taking a loss against the Nationals on Friday.

    Advice: Hudson kept Washington scoreless for two innings before an ugly five-run third inning. The Nationals piled on four more runs in the fourth, with three of them being charged to Hudson. He's lost three straight starts while posting a 7.20 ERA during that stretch, bumping his season ERA to 5.63 through 76.2 frames. Friday's performance was his shortest outing of the year and the most runs he's allowed in a start. Hudson's next matchup is expected to be on the road against the White Sox.

  • Dakota Hudson roughed up for eight runs
    Dakota Hudson allowed eight runs in just three innings while picking up a loss to the Nationals on Friday.

    Advice: Not ideal. Hudson allowed 11 hits in the loss — two of those homers — and he didn’t pick up a single strikeout. The 29-year-old has mostly been effective in 2024, and he’s earned his 2-10 record over the first half of 2024. The only good news for Hudson going forward is his next start comes against the White Sox. Rotoworld Today, 8:41 pm

  • Works 4.2 innings
    Silseth allowed five earned runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out two across 4.2 innings in a rehab outing with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday.

    Advice: The surface stats aren't positive for Silseth, but he did build up to 92 total pitches. It was originally expected that he would be activated and slot back into the Angels' rotation Wednesday against the Athletics, though Sisleth has now allowed 14 earned runs across 12.1 frames with Salt Lake. Those results could cause Los Angeles to reassess his role in the short term, as he does have minor-league options remaining. Rotowire.com Today, 7:59 pm

  • Earns ninth save
    Sewald earned a save against the Phillies on Friday, retiring all three batters he faced in the ninth inning.

    Advice: Tasked with preserving a 5-4 lead in the ninth inning, Sewald needed just 11 pitches to secure his ninth save of the year. Sewald has not allowed a run since his first outing of the season May 7 and is a perfect 9-for-9 in save chances. He now owns a sparkling 0.66 ERA, 0.51 WHIP and 12:3 K:BB over 13.2 innings in 2024.

  • Paul Sewald shuts down Phillies for ninth save
    Paul Sewald pitched a clean ninth inning on Friday to earn the save.

    Advice: There must be something about the city of Philadelphia or Citizens Bank itself that just calms Sewald because he did on Friday what he did four times in the last NLCS: shut the Phillies down. David Dahl did put a ball to the warning track, but it was to no avail. Sewald has not allowed a run in 14 straight appearances this season. Rotoworld Today, 7:20 pm
