    • Posts quality start
      Lively (8-4) picked up the win Thursday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out six.

      Advice: Lively nabbed his second consecutive quality start - his fifth of 2024 - and generated his most punchouts since May 20. The 32-year-old was tagged by Paul DeJong for a two-run homer in the sixth inning but was otherwise excellent. Through 77.1 innings, Lively owns a 3.14 ERA and a 67:22 K:BB. He's on pace to make his next start against the Tigers in Detroit. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:14 pm
       
    • Smacks two-run homer
      DeJong went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Guardians.

      Advice: DeJong took Ben Lively yard in the sixth inning, bringing Gavin Sheets around to score. DeJong is up to 16 home runs on the year and owns a .219 ISO, his best tally since 2017. The veteran shortstop is 9-for-35 (.257) with a pair of homers, six RBI and five runs scored over his last nine games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:12 pm

    • Amping up the workload
      Scherzer (1-2) suffered the loss Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk over 6.1 innings against the Padres. he struck out three.

      Advice: Scherzer tossed his first quality start of the season, pitching into the seventh while increasing his pitch count to 90 after having tossed 57 and 77 over his first two starts. While the effectiveness has been there through three starts, as evidenced by a 2.70 ERA and 0.84 WHIP, he's not received much run support, with the Rangers supplying a total of two runs over his last two outings, with each resulting in a loss. One trend to keep an eye on moving forward is Scherzer's strikeout numbers as he's tallied only 11 thus far through 16.2 innings. The last time Scherzer recorded fewer than a strikeout per innings was in 2011, his fourth season in the league. Scherzer's next start is lined up for next week when the Rangers travel to Anaheim to take on the Angels. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:52 pm
       
    • Won't return when first eligible
      Muncy (oblique) is still experiencing soreness and will not return when first eligible, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Muncy is still swinging off a tee, but manager Dave Roberts described his progress as slow. He's first eligible to be activated from the injured list July 19, though it sounds as if his absence will extend into August. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:46 pm

    • Max Muncy (oblique) progressing slowly
      Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Max Muncy is still dealing with right oblique soreness.

      Advice: It certainly doesn’t sound like Muncy is anywhere close to returning since he’s still dealing with some soreness in his right oblique. The 33-year-old resumed swinging last week, but is making extremely slow progress at the moment. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:34 pm

    • Brenton Doyle sits Thursday with calf soreness
      Brenton Doyle is not in the lineup for Thursday’s contest against the Brewers.

      Advice: Doyle is dealing with some relatively minor calf soreness after fouling a ball off it during Wednesday’s loss to the Brewers so he’ll take a seat in the midst of a sizzling-hot stretch at the plate where he’s homered four times over his last seven contests. It’ll be Jake Cave in center field on Thursday evening in his place. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:34 pm

    • Max Scherzer falters late in loss to Padres
      Max Scherzer surrendered three runs over 6 1/3 innings on Thursday in a loss to the Padres.

      Advice: Scherzer traded zeroes with his Padres counterpart Michael King early on in a throwback pitcher’s duel on the Fourth of July at Globe Life Field, but wound up fading late as runs he gave up in the sixth and seventh innings were enough to saddle him with a tough-luck loss. He struck out three and only issued one walk. The 39-year-old veteran workhorse has recorded a strong 2.70 ERA, 0.84 WHIP and 11/3 K/BB ratio across 16 2/3 innings (three starts) since making his season debut a couple weeks ago. He’ll face off against the Angels on Tuesday in his final outing prior to the All-Star break. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:11 pm
       
    • Sitting with calf tightness
      Doyle isn't in the Rockies' lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers due to calf tightness, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

      Advice: Doyle fouled a ball off his calf during Wednesday's loss and will sit out Thursday's game in order to recover. While he rests, Nolan Jones, Jake Cave and Sam Hilliard will start across Colorado's outfield. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:03 pm

    • Paul DeJong hits 16th homer in loss to Cleveland
      Paul DeJong homered while driving in two runs in a loss to the Guardians on Thursday.

      Advice: DeJong took Ben Lively deep with a runner on to pick up his 16th homer of the season and cut the Cleveland lead to 7-3. The power has been there for DeJong for the majority of 2024 with those roundtrippers and a .456 slugging mark. It wouldn’t be a surprise if he’s playing for a new team by the end of the month.
