  • Out of Monday's lineup
    Mountcastle is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Mountcastle is mired in a 1-for-20 slump and will sit Monday for the second time in Baltimore's past three games. Ryan O'Hearn will handle first base while Anthony Santander (knee) returns to the lineup as the designated hitter. Rotowire.com Monday, 1:22 pm
     
  • Impressive in return to closer role
    Kimbrel pitched a clean ninth inning, striking out two to pick up a save Sunday against the Mariners.

    Advice: It appears Kimbrel has found his groove again, and he was rewarded with a save opportunity while posting his fourth consecutive appearance without allowing a hit or a walk. It was the first save since May 3 for Kimbrel, who had posted a 16.20 ERA and 4.50 WHIP over 3.1 innings in the six outings prior to this most recent four-game stretch.

  • Lifts homer in win
    Ramos went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-1 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Ramos has an extra-base hit in three of his last four games and at least one RBI in six of his last seven contests. The outfielder is batting .293 with a homer, eight RBI, six runs scored, a stolen base and three doubles through 44 plate appearances since he was called up May 8. Ramos is seeing steady time in the corner outfield while the Giants navigate a rough patch of injuries, and he's earned that role with strong hitting. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:07 pm
     
  • Heliot Ramos homers in win over Rockies
    Heliot Ramos went 1-for-4 with a home run in a win over the Rockies on Sunday.

    Advice: The blast was a 409-foot shot that came off the bat at 102.5 mph. It was his first of the season. While teammate Luis Matos has been getting all the attention for his blistering start following his promotion from Triple-A, Ramos is looking good with a .293/.341/.439 triple slash. In fact, Ramos was outplaying Matos in Triple-A as well, with a .296/.388/.565 slash line, eight homers, 21 RBI, and a pair of stolen bases in his first 30 games. While many people will put big bids on Matos this weekend, a small bid on Ramos could go just as far. Rotoworld Sunday, 3:47 pm
     
  • Craig Kimbrel perfect in return to closer’s role
    Getting a chance to close for the first time since May 8, Craig Kimbrel struck out two in a perfect ninth Sunday against the Mariners.

    Advice: This was truly easing him back into the closer’s role; not only did he have a three-run lead, but he was getting the bottom third of the Mariners lineup. Kimbrel has allowed just one batter to reach in four scoreless innings since his May 8 outing knocked him out of the closer’s role for a spell. He’ll likely be the primary guy for now, though it’d be best if he could go a couple of more weeks without any miscues. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:54 pm
     
  • Sitting Sunday
    Doyle is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazettereports.

    Advice: Doyle has a .962 OPS in his past 10 games but will take a seat Sunday after making 23 straight starts. Jordan Beck will man center field and bat seventh in the series finale at San Francisco. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:42 am
     
  • Adley Rutschman not starting Sunday vs. Mariners
    Adley Rutschman is not in the lineup for Sunday’s finale against the Mariners.

    Advice: Rutschman gets a rare day off for the finale against George Kirby and the Mariners. While Rutschman rests the Orioles will have James McCann behind the plate. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:48 am
     
  • Absent from lineup Sunday
    Rutschman is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Mariners, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The 26-year-old catcher will get a break Sunday in Baltimore's series finale against the Mariners. James McCann will start at catcher in place of Rutschman and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Sunday, 7:43 am
     
  • Looks sharp in first win
    Flaherty (1-3) allowed two runs on five hits across six innings to earn the win Saturday against the Diamondbacks. He walked two and struck out nine.

    Advice: Flaherty was sharp as he lowered his ERA to 3.79 and picked up his first win of the season. Despite having only the one win so far, the righty has had a nice bounceback campaign to this point after posting a 4.99 ERA with the Orioles and Cardinals last year. Flaherty has been buoyed by a rise in strikeouts, as he now has an 11.9 K/9 this season, up from 9.2 in 2023. He'll look to keep rolling in his next scheduled outing, which is is penciled in for Thursday against the Blue Jays. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:44 am
