  • Blows save, earns win
    Payamps (1-1) recorded one out and walked one batter Friday. He earned a win over the Cardinals after blowing a save chance.

    Advice: Payamps entered the ninth inning with two runners on in a 1-0 game. After plunking Ivan Herrera to load the bases, he walked Brendan Donovan to let the tying run score. The Brewers would go on to win in the 10th innings, giving Payamps his first win of 2024. He's now sporting a 4.70 ERA with a 6:1 K:BB through 7.2 innings. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Fans 10 in no-decision
    Flaherty allowed four runs (two earned) on four hits and a walk over six innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out 10 during the win over Minnesota.

    Advice: Flaherty was tagged with a two-run shot in the first inning but turned in four shutout frames after that. The Twins later pushed across two unearned runs in the sixth. Flaherty's produced a terrific 30:3 K:BB through 24.1 innings this season. That 11.1 K/9 is currently a career-high and his first time producing a double-digit number in that category since the 2020 campaign. He also set a new season high with 19 whiffs. Flaherty is currently in line to take the mound in Tampa Bay next week. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Helsley allows run in 10th to pick up loss
    Ryan Helsley allowed an unearned run in the 10th inning to pick up a loss to the Brewers on Friday.

    Advice: The run was unearned because it was the extra-inning runner that ended up scoring. Helsley gave up an RBI single to William Contreras that gave Milwaukee a 2-1 lead, and Helsley his second loss of the season. Despite tonight’s disappointing result, the 29-year-old has been a strong fantasy option with seven saves already through the first 19 games. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
     
  • Hoby Milner works scoreless 10th to pick up save
    Hoby Milner fired a scoreless 10th against the Cardinals on Friday to pick up a save.

    Advice: Milner was able to pick up the save in the 10th after Trevor Megill and Joel Payamps both were unable to get the job done. The southpaw has his first save of the year, but it’s worth noting that Abner Uribe was unavailable for this contest, so it’s unlikely he picks up many more. Milner can safely be left on the waiver wire. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago
     
  • Freddy Peralta fans seven over six scoreless
    Freddy Peralta struck out seven over six scoreless innings against the Cardinals on Friday in a no-decision.

    Advice: Another impressive outing for Peralta. The 27-year-old didn’t have his best control with just 56-of-100 pitches going for strikes, but he also walked just two while scattering four hits. This is the first scoreless affair for the right-hander in 2024, but he has allowed no more than a run in three-of-four starts while improving his K/BB to 33/4 and lowering his ERA to 1.90. That’ll work. Peralta is back on the bump against the Pirates next week. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago
     
  • Kyle Gibson allows just one run against Brewers
    Kyle Gibson allowed just one run over six innings with three strikeouts against the Brewers on Saturday, but didn’t factor into the decision.

    Advice: Gibson gave up three hits, but he did walk four with 49-of-89 pitches credited as strikes. Despite the self-inflicted damage, the only run was a William Contreras double in the third inning to score Blake Perkins. Outside of that, Gibson worked around those free passes in his best start of 2024 — at least in terms of run prevention. The 36-year-old is scheduled to face the D-Backs on Wednesday; a team he allowed four runs against in his start Saturday. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago

  • Stumbles against Tigers
    Ryan allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk over 5.1 innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out six during the loss to Detroit.

    Advice: Ryan coughed up three runs in the first three innings Friday as he produced his worst start of the year. The 27-year-old has given up 10 runs (eight earned) over his last three appearances, driving his ERA up to 3.57 through 22.2 frames. He forced 12 whiffs on 93 pitches, all coming on the fastball and sweeper. Still searching for his first win, Ryan is lined up for a home matchup with the White Sox next week.

  • Notches save Friday
    Foley issued a walk and struck out one batter in a scoreless inning Friday. He earned a save in the win over Minnesota.

    Advice: Foley worked around a two-out walk to finish off the 5-4 win Friday. He's now converted all six of his save chances and is riding a 10-inning scoreless streak to open the 2024 campaign. The 28-year-old has produced a 10:6 K:BB during that span. However, four of those walks have come over his last 2.2 frames. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Triston McKenzie goes five in win over A’s
    Triston McKenzie worked five innings and allowed one run Friday as the Guardians bested the A’s 10-2.

    Advice: McKenzie’s stuff is diminished, but it was still good enough to hold this A’s lineup to three hits and strike out six. It seems unlikely that he’ll fare as well next time out against the Red Sox, but at least he’s due to miss the series in Atlanta starting next weekend. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago
