    • Can't convert save chance
      Beeks (4-4) blew the save and took the loss Sunday against the Nationals, allowing two runs on three hits with a strikeout across one inning.

      Advice: Beeks was given his first save opportunity since June 5 but couldn't come through for his seventh save of the campaign. Colorado led 1-0 heading into the ninth inning, but Beeks yielded an RBI double to Lane Thomas that plated CJ Abrams -- who advanced to second on a wild pitch -- before allowing Thomas to steal third and score on a two-out single by Joey Meneses. Although Beeks is 6-for-11 on save chances, he owns a 3.76 ERA and should still be in the mix with Tyler Kinley for saves as part of a shaky Rockies bullpen. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:43 pm
       
    • Earns unconventional save
      Urena picked up the save Sunday against Kansas City, allowing one hit and one walk with one strikeout across four scoreless innings.

      Advice: The Rangers needed only two pitchers Sunday, with Max Scherzer handling the first five frames before giving way to Urena for the final 12 outs. The save was Urena's first since 2019 and just the fifth of his nine-year MLB career. While the 32-year-old allowed two baserunners, he faced only 12 batters as Maikel Garcia got caught stealing in the sixth and Nelson Velazquez grounded into a double play in the eighth. In 19 appearances (six starts), Urena owns a 2.92 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP but has a 16.8 percent strikeout rate. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:38 pm
       
    • Grabs win Sunday
      Herrin (3-0) struck out one in a perfect inning and earned the win Sunday over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: A rain delay cut Triston McKenzie's start short at three innings, though he threw 74 pitches and likely wasn't going to last long enough to qualify for the win. Herrin was once again excellent in relief -- he's allowed just one run over 7.1 innings in June. The southpaw has a 1.16 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 29:12 K:BB over 31 innings while adding eight holds and two blown saves. The one downside for Herrin is that nearly all of the Guardians' other relievers have also enjoyed strong seasons, which has kept him in a lower-leverage role. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:35 pm
       
    • Chased in fifth inning
      Assad (4-3) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while failing to record a strikeout over 4.1 innings, taking the loss Sunday versus the Mets.

      Advice: Assad has failed to complete five innings in four of his last nine starts. The Mets did most of their damage in the third inning, as Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo hit back-to-back home runs to account for three of the four runs on Assad's line. The right-hander is now at a 3.04 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 79:33 K:BB through 83 innings across 16 starts this year. He's projected for a road game in Milwaukee in his next start.

    • Picks up one-out save
      Diekman struck out the only batter he faced to earn the save in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: The ninth inning was far more dramatic than usual for a team protecting a three-run lead. Edwin Diaz was ejected after failing an inspection for sticky substances before he threw a pitch, and Drew Smith got two outs before putting Dansby Swanson aboard with a single. Diekman came into the game and closed it out by fanning Patrick Wisdom on three pitches. Pitching as a part-time setup man, Diekman has a 3.80 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 29:18 K:BB with three saves, six holds and two blown saves over 23.2 innings this year. With Diaz facing a 10-game suspension, it'll likely be Reed Garrett and Adam Ottavino picking up most of the save chances in the near term, though Diekman and Smith could also be in the mix depending on the situation as manager Carlos Mendoza will likely turn to a committee approach.

    • Returns to mound Sunday
      Nunez (nose) allowed two runs on two hits and struck out one in a one-inning relief appearance during Sunday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Nunez had not pitched since June 15 due to a sinus infection, and he wasn't very sharp after a whole week off. The right-hander served up a two-run home run to Christopher Morel, but that was all the Cubs could muster. Nunez has a 2.89 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 27:4 K:BB over 18.2 innings this season, and he's added four holds while occasionally seeing high-leverage assignments. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:08 pm
       
    • Cubs recall Luke Little from Triple-A on Sunday
      Cubs recalled RHP Luke Little from Triple-A Iowa.

      Advice: The 23-year-old hurler took the place of the injured Mark Leiter Jr. (forearm) in the Cubs’ bullpen. Little had just been optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, but he’s able to return a day later with Leiter hitting the injured list. Little has done a solid job in his time with the Cubs this season, registering a 4.35 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 20/17 K/BB ratio over 20 2/3 innings in 23 appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:54 pm
       
    • Cubs place Mark Leiter Jr. (forearm) on 15-day IL
      Cubs placed RHP Mark Leiter Jr. on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain.

      Advice: The move occurred before Sunday night’s battle against the Mets. It’s a brutal blow to the Cubs’ bullpen as the 33-year-old hurler has been a key cog in their late inning mix and had been extremely adept at stranding inherited runners this season. Luke Little was recalled from Triple-A Iowa to take his place in the Cubs’ bullpen. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:52 pm
       
    • Tosses four innings
      Tyler allowed two runs on three hits and three walks over four innings in a no-decision Sunday. He struck out two during the win over Seattle.

      Advice: Tyler made his first career MLB start and first MLB appearance since April 26. He worked three scoreless frames before coughing up a two-run homer to Luke Raley in the fourth inning. Tyler threw just 36 of 65 pitches for strikes. Due to several injuries to Miami's pitching staff, he could draw another start with the big club. As of now, Tyler would currently be lined up to start in Philadelphia. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:48 pm
