    • Triple, stolen base vs. Guardians
      Duran went 1-for-4 with a two-run triple, two runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Cleveland.

      Advice: Duran drew a walk to lead off the home half of the first inning before swiping his seventh bag of the year. The speedy outfielder would then drive in a pair of runs with a triple in the sixth inning, his first three-bagger this season. Duran is now 5-for-17 with three extra-base hits in his last four contests. He's off to a nice start following a promising 2023 campaign, slashing .301/.366/.422 with a home run, 12 runs scored and nine RBI through his first 20 games. Rotowire.com Today, 5:53 pm

    • Jarren Duran triples, steals base against CLE
      Jarren Duran went 1-for-2 with a two-run triple and a stolen base against the Guardians on Thursday.

      Advice: Duran showed off his speed in a couple different ways Thursday. The 27-year-old plated two with his first triple of the season, and the steal already gives the outfielder seven on the young campaign. Duran has gone through some lulls in his short MLB career, but the highs have been awfully exciting. It’s certainly possible 2024 is the year he puts it all together. Rotoworld Today, 1:20 pm

    • Collects fifth save
      Iglesias walked one in a scoreless 10th inning Wednesday to record his fifth save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Astros.

      Advice: After Atlanta grabbed the lead in the top of the 10th, Iglesias walked Kyle Tucker on five pitches to lead off the bottom of the frame and set up a double play, and the right-hander got one from Jeremy Pena to end the game. Iglesias is still looking for his peak velocity -- he topped out at 94.6 mph with his sinker Wednesday, below last season's 95.0 mph average -- and he has just a 3:1 K:BB through his first 6.1 innings. However, the 34-year-old is 5-for-5 in converting save chances and sports a 2.84 ERA and 0.95 WHIP. His job as Atlanta's closer remains secure. Rotowire.com Today, 6:31 am
       
    • Earns three walks across twin bill
      Jimenez went 0-for-5 with three walks and a run scored across both games of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Royals.

      Advice: Jimenez was in the lineup for the first time since being activated from the injured list, and he served as the designated hitter in both contests while batting cleanup. It's also possible that Jimenez will see time in the outfield, though the team may be cautious with his usage given his lengthy injury history. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:14 pm
       
    • Rough outing in non-save situation
      Bednar allowed three earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out two across two-thirds of an inning Wednesday against the Mets.

      Advice: Bednar hadn't pitched since Friday, so the Pirates got him work, even with a five-run deficit. He allowed three of the first four batters he faced to reach base and allowed an earned run, though he managed to end his appearance with a pair of punchouts. His poor line was made worse when Josh Fleming allowed a pair of inherited runners to score. Bednar's allowed at least one earned run in four of his seven appearances and has an ERA of 13.50.

    • Clubs pair of homers
      Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a solo home run during Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Rockies.

      Advice: Schwarber notched his first multi-homer game of the season -- a feat he accomplished three times in the 2023 regular season -- with the solo homer coming off Ryan Feltner in the first inning and the two-run shot coming at the expense of Peter Lambert in the sixth. The performance came on the heels of three straight games without a hit (0-for-11), pushing Schwarber out of the mini-slump. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:48 pm
       
    • Kyle Schwarber homers twice in win over Rockies
      Kyle Schwarber went 2-for-4 with two homers and three RBI to power the Phillies to a 7-6 win over the Rockies on Wednesday.

      Advice: Schwarber put the Phillies on the board right away with a solo homer off Ryan Feltner to lead off the first inning. He connected once again in the sixth, taking Peter Lambert deep for a two-run shot. The 31-year-old slugger is up to five homers with 13 runs scored and nine RBI while slashing .233/.325/.438 across 83 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:10 pm
       
    • Raisel Iglesias gets save in 10th inning
      Raisel Iglesias protected a one-run lead in the 10th for a save Wednesday against the Astros.

      Advice: Iglesias walked Kyle Tucker to start the 10th, but he then got a flyout and a double play to strand the automatic runner and end the game. He has five saves and a 2.84 ERA in 6 1/3 innings. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:55 pm
       
    • David Bednar charged with three runs against Mets
      Getting some work in with the Pirates down 6-1, David Bednar gave up three runs in two-thirds of an inning Wednesday against the Mets.

      Advice: After a walk and a double to open the inning, Bednar couldn’t field a comebacker that skipped off him to Alika Williams at second. Instead of taking the sure out, Williams threw home and would have gotten the runner had Henry Davis been in better position to make the tag. Alas, no out was recorded, and Bednar allowed another single afterwards. He rebounded to retire back-to-back batters from there, but the Pirates opted to protect him and pull him after 30 pitches, and Josh Fleming allowed two inherited runners to score. It was a bad outing for Bednar and certainly especially annoying to those rostering him in fantasy leagues, but it wasn’t the disaster the box score makes it appear. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:49 pm
