    • Carlos Estévez gives up run, earns save anyway
      Carlos Estévez got a save despite allowing a run in the ninth Monday against the Phillies.

      Advice: Estévez gave up a single, a double and a sac fly before finishing off the Phillies tonight. His stuff is worse than it was last year, and we wouldn’t expect much help in ERA and WHIP here. Still, with Robert Stephenson down for the year and José Soriano in the rotation, his closing gig is very secure. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:21 pm
       
    • Avoids blown save
      Estevez allowed a run on two hits in one inning Monday. He struck out one batter and earned a save over the Phillies.

      Advice: Estevez entered a 6-4 game and found himself in a jam with two on and one out. He gave up one run but still preserved the 6-5 victory. Estevez has converted five of his six save chances this season but has coughed up three runs in his last three appearances. Before that, he had a five-inning scoreless streak to open the 2024 campaign. Estevez owns a 3.38 ERA with a perfect 8:0 K:BB through eight innings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:41 pm
       
    • In line to be activated Tuesday
      Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that Duran (oblique) will likely be activated from the 15-day injured list Tuesday, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

      Advice: Duran has rejoined the Twins in Chicago following a pair of minor-league rehab appearances. While he won't be activated prior to Monday's series opener versus the White Sox, Duran looks like he just needed one additional day of recovery after making his most recent rehab appearance Saturday. Baldelli didn't say whether Duran would immediately regain his closer job or be eased back in upon his reinstatement, but fantasy managers should probably go ahead and activate the hard thrower for this week so as not to miss out on any potential saves he might net.

    • Jhoan Duran (oblique) could return Tuesday for MIN
      Jhoan Duran (oblique) is with the Twins in Chicago and could be activated off the injured list Tuesday.

      Advice: Duran has missed all of 2024 because of his oblique injury, but he’s been able to make rehab appearances, and if everything goes well, the 26-year-old will be a welcome addition to the Minnesota bullpen. Once active, it seems likely Duran will see the majority of save chances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:43 pm
       
    • Activation imminent
      Duran (oblique) is with the Twins in Chicago for their series against the White Sox and his activation from the 15-day injured list appears imminent, Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

      Advice: There's no word on Duran possibly being activated Monday, but it sounds like he should join the roster at some point during the series. The closer has been out all season with a right oblique strain but is ready to roll after making two rehab appearances. It's possible manager Rocco Baldelli will want to see Duran in a low-leverage spot or two initially, but it shouldn't be long before he's closing again for the Twins.

    • Bounces back in second rehab outing
      Duran (oblique) averaged 101.8 mph with his fastball while striking out two in a scoreless inning in his second rehab appearance with Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday.

      Advice: In his first rehab appearance April 23, Duran allowed two runs on four hits and didn't have his typical velocity, but he looked more like his normal, dominant self Saturday. He averaged 101.8 miles per hour with his fastball Saturday and induced three swings and misses on the four splitters he threw. The Twins haven't announced when Duran will be activated from the 15-day injured list, but it could be any day now, and perhaps as soon as Monday, when the team begins a three-game series with the White Sox. Duran has been out all season with a right oblique strain. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:21 am
       
    • Wins in scoreless outing
      Leclerc (2-2) earned the win Friday, striking out two over a scoreless eighth inning against Cincinnati.

      Advice: Leclerc, who earlier this season lost the closer's job, has reclaimed the confidence of manager Bruce Bochy. Friday's outing was his fifth consecutive scoreless appearance, with the last three coming in the eighth inning of games. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:22 am
       
    • Jhoan Duran (oblique) to make rehab outing Saturday
      Jhoan Duran (oblique) is scheduled to pitch in a minor league rehab game at Triple-A St. Paul on Saturday, after Friday’s scheduled appearance was rained out.

      Advice: As long as everything goes well with that outing, it sounds like the Twins’ closer could be cleared to make his 2024 season debut. Duran threw 27 pitches his last time out and should be expected to have a similar workload on Saturday. It sounds like Griffin Jax’s usefulness from a fantasy perspective could be coming to an end soon. Rotoworld Friday, 4:04 pm
       
    • Struggling to get outs
      Chapman (0-2) allowed two earned runs on two hits and no walks while striking out one to take the loss Thursday against the Brewers.

      Advice: Chapman entered the game in the eighth inning to protect a one-run lead. He initially ran into some bad luck when a runner reached base on weak contact that didn't leave the infield, but the veteran lefty then threw a wild pitch and served up a home run to Gary Sanchez. Chapman began the season with 5.1 scoreless innings, but he's since allowed six earned runs across his last 2.2 frames and four appearances. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:26 am
