    • Grabs fourth win
      Montgomery (4-4) got the win over the Angels on Tuesday, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk while striking out three over 5.2 innings.

      Advice: Montgomery got through two innings unscathed before the Angels tacked on a pair of runs in the third. He got through another two clean innings before Taylor Ward took him deep to lead off the sixth. Montgomery retired the next two batters before being replaced by Kevin Ginkel to face Logan O'Hoppe. The strikeout numbers remain down for Montgomery. He hasn't struck out more than five batters since May 13 and is averaging 5.5 K/9, which would be his lowest mark since 2018. The 31-year-old southpaw owns a 6.58 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 32:19 K:BB in 52 innings and lines up for a favorable matchup against the White Sox this weekend. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:19 am
       
    • Collects third win
      Luzardo (3-5) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up two runs on four hits and a walk over 5.2 innings in a 4-2 victory over the Mets. He struck out four.

      Advice: The southpaw had a bumpy second inning that included plunking his first batters of the year, but Luzardo was otherwise sharp and left the mound after 91 pitches (62 strikes). Since returning from a flexor strain in mid-May, he's gone 3-3 in six starts with a 4.04 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 29:6 K:BB over 35.2 innings. Luzardo will look to build on this performance in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road this weekend against the Nationals. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:47 am
       
    • Jordan Montgomery fans three, gets win over Angels
      Jordan Montgomery allowed three runs over 5 2/3 innings Tuesday in a defeat of the Angels.

      Advice: Montgomery hasn’t done much after signing late, but he was able to take down one of the teams that snubbed him in free agency to even his record at 4-4. He’ll bring a 6.58 ERA into his next start against the White Sox on Sunday. Perhaps he’ll take advantage of another weak lineup then. Rotoworld Tuesday, 11:49 pm
       
    • Battling illness
      Manager Bob Melvin said after Tuesday's game that Hicks has been sick for the past several days, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: While Hicks' illness didn't prevent him from starting Tuesday, it did play a factor in his removal after just 4.2 innings and caused his velocity to be down a tick. The 27-year-old righty allowed three earned runs on five hits and a walk while striking out five batters, and he was hit with his third loss of the year. Assuming he's able to shake off his illness, Hicks is lined up to start again on the road Monday against the Cubs. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:38 pm

    • Jordan Hicks lifted in fifth versus Astros
      Jordan Hicks yielded three runs in 4 2/3 innings Tuesday in a loss to the Astros.

      Advice: Hicks didn’t have his usual velocity tonight, averaging 93.0 mph with his sinker. That’s down 1.9 mph from his season average and 3.2 mph from his start six days ago. Last time this happened, it was blamed on an illness, and Hicks’ velocity returned to normal his next time out. We’ll have to wait and see what the reasoning is this time. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:26 pm

    • Strong again Tuesday
      Kikuchi (4-5) allowed three hits and four walks while striking out five over five shutout innings to earn the win over the Brewers on Tuesday.

      Advice: Kikuchi's four walks ran up his pitch count quickly, but it was an otherwise strong performance. This was just the second time in his last 11 outings that he's walked multiple batters. The southpaw has won his last two starts and now has a 3.26 ERA on the year with a 1.23 WHIP and 76:19 K:BB through 77.1 innings over 14 starts. Kikuchi's next start is projected to be at home versus the Red Sox. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 8:10 pm

    • Yusei Kikuchi blanks Brewers, whiffs five in win
      Yusei Kikuchi struck out five over five shutout innings on Tuesday in a win over the Brewers.

      Advice: Kikuchi also walked four batters and needed 97 pitches to get through his five frames, but he kept the Brewers off the board, and has now allowed one earned run in his last 11 innings of work. Despite a 4-5 record, Kikuchi is now sitting on a 3.26 ERA and has allowed three earned runs or fewer in all but three of his starts. He’ll look to pick up his fifth win on Monday against the Red Sox. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:01 pm

    • Jesús Luzardo battles through win over Mets
      Jesús Luzardo allowed two runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings in a win over the Mets on Tuesday.

      Advice: Luzardo had four strikeouts to just one walk while inducing 16 whiffs on 49 swings for a 33 percent whiff rate and 32 percent CSW. He also struggled to command both his slider and changeup on the day, posting sub-40 percent zone rates on both pitches. The left-hander was pulled at 91 pitches with one runner on in the sixth inning. This was an important start for Luzardo’s trade value as the 26th-year-old now has a 5.11 ERA on the season heading into another good matchup against the Nationals this weekend.

    • Resumes throwing off mound
      Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said Tuesday that Senga (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Sunday and will throw another one Wednesday, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.

      Advice: It's the first time Senga has thrown from the bump since he had to be shut down due to right triceps tightness. The hurler originally landed on the injured list due to a shoulder injury and is not expected back until after the All-Star break. Senga will need multiple rehab starts before returning, but it's not clear when he might be ready to pitch in games. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:17 pm
