Nails third saveAlvarado picked up the save Wednesday, allowing one hit and no walks with one strikeout over a scoreless inning against Colorado.
Advice: After keeping the Rockies off the scoreboard in the ninth inning Wednesday, Alvarado hasn't allowed a run in eight straight appearances (7.2 innings) since his nightmare five-run 2024 debut. While it'll still take some time to get Alvarado's ERA down to a digestible number, fantasy managers can take solace in knowing that Alvarado's looking like his 2023 self, when he earned a 1.74 ERA across 41.1 innings.

Opening ThursdayBernardino will open Thursday's game against the Guardians, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.
Advice: Bernardino has allowed just one run across 5.1 innings to begin the year. His outing Thursday will likely only last an inning or two, after which Cooper Criswell is expected to pitch the bulk of innings. Rotowire.comBrennan BernardinoBOS - SP,RPW, 2-0 vs CLE -
Cooper Criswell to work bulk innings on ThursdayRed Sox’ manager Alex Cora confirmed Wednesday that Cooper Criswell will work bulk innings on Thursday against the Guardians.
Advice: Brennan Bernardino will function as an opener in front of him. Criswell pitched well in his last outing against the Angels on Saturday, allowing two runs over four innings in a no-decision. He’s probably best avoided for fantasy purposes. RotoworldCooper CriswellBOS - RPW, 2-0 vs CLE -
Ben Lively strikes out seven in loss to Red SoxBen Lively allowed two runs with seven strikeouts over five innings in a loss to the Red Sox on Wednesday.
Advice: Lively was activated from the injured list on Wednesday ahead of his start against the Red Sox. He was solid in his first outing, giving up just two runs to keep the Guardians in the game. The first run scored on a balk in the third inning before Connor Wong took Lively deep for a solo homer in the fourth. He scattered three hits and a walk while striking out seven. The 32-year-old right-hander lines up for a rematch against the Red Sox next week in Cleveland. RotoworldBen LivelyCLE - SP,RPL, 0-2 @BOS -
José Alvarado locks down third save on WednesdayJosé Alvarado tossed a scoreless ninth inning with one strikeout to record a save against the Rockies on Wednesday.
Advice: After the Rockies plated five runs in the eighth to make it a one-run game, Alvarado got the call in the ninth to close it out. He worked around a hit, striking out one batter to lock down his third save of the season. Alvarado has worked in a matchup-based committee, splitting save chances with Jeff Hoffman in the ninth inning. It’ll cap his saves total, but he’s still the best reliever to roster on the team. RotoworldJosé AlvaradoPHI - RPW, 7-6 vs COL -
Up to seven savesFinnegan earned the save in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Dodgers, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.
Advice: Finnegan's now gone seven appearances (6.2 innings) without allowing an earned run. He's up to seven saves on the year, tying Ryan Helsley and Clay Holmes for the league lead. The 32-year-old Finnegan lowered his ERA to 3.24 with a 1.32 WHIP and 8:5 K:BB through his first 8.1 innings this season. Rotowire.comKyle FinneganWSH - RPW, 2-0 @LAD -
Optioned to IndianapolisThe Pirates optioned Hernandez to Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday.
Advice: Hernandez has allowed one earned run across 4.2 innings this season, but he will now return to the minors to free up a spot in Pittsburgh's bullpen. It's unclear who will come up from Triple-A to fill the left-hander's spot, but the team will announce a corresponding move Friday. Rotowire.comJose HernandezPIT - RPL, 1-9 @NYM -
Faces hitters in sim gameGilbreath (elbow) pitched in a simulated game Tuesday, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.
Advice: Gilbreath, who is on the mend from March 2023 Tommy John surgery, said he felt good following Tuesday's outing, so the Rockies are tentatively having him pitch in a controlled setting once again Friday. If all goes well Friday, Gilbreath could head out on a minor-league rehab assignment as soon as next week. During his last MLB season with Colorado in 2022, the lefty reliever compiled a 4.19 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 49:26 K:BB across 43 innings. Rotowire.comLucas GilbreathCOL - RPL, 6-7 @PHI -
Unavailable WednesdayGreen was unavailable for Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Yankees due to shoulder soreness, but manager John Schneider hopes the right-hander will be good to go Friday, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.
Advice: Green's pop-up injury hindered him from entering the game, where the Blue Jays could have used some relief help as they allowed five runs in four innings after starting pitcher Kevin Gausman exited. The veteran reliever could be ready to pitch Friday as Toronto takes on the Padres in San Diego. Rotowire.comChad GreenTOR - RPL, 4-6 vs NYY
