    • Picks up win
      Manaea (3-1) earned the win Sunday against Miami, allowing two runs on five hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out four.

      Advice: Manaea allowed three or fewer runs for his sixth straight appearance, but he did yield his second homer of the campaign when Dane Myers hit a two-run blast in the second inning. Although Manaea hasn't gone deeper than six innings this year, he owns a solid 3.11 ERA with 41 strikeouts across 46.1 innings. He's on track for a home start against the Giants next Sunday.

    • Sean Manaea wins, strikes out four
      Sean Manaea allowed two earned runs across five innings on Sunday. He struck out four, walked one, and got the win.

      Advice: This was a very Manaea start, going five frames, missing bats, and limiting damage. He’s been very solid this season with a 3.11 ERA and three wins in nine starts. Walks have been an issue for him, but not on Sunday. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:02 pm
       
    • Shut down from throwing
      Bradford (ribs) said Sunday he's been shut down from throwing since he's not recovering as quickly as expected, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The left-hander apparently wasn't experiencing any pain since recently starting up a throwing program, but his recovery also wasn't moving forward. It's unclear when Bradford is expected to restart the throwing program, and he should be considered out indefinitely until his status is updated. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:52 pm

    • Quality in no-decision
      Manaea did not factor into the decision Monday against the Phillies, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out six.

      Advice: With his effort Monday night, Manaea secured his second straight quality start of six innings, lowering his season ERA to 3.05 over 41.1 innings. Even more encouragingly, the Mets lefty issued only one walk for his second consecutive start after issuing multiple free passes in all his previous six starts. He is slated to face the Marlins on the road in his next start this weekend. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:07 pm
       
    • Sean Manaea tosses six frames against Phillies
      Sean Manaea surrendered one run over six innings on Monday in a no-decision against the Phillies.

      Advice: Manaea coughed up a run in the opening frame, but managed to keep the Phillies scoreless over his final five innings of work. He struck out six and only issued one walk. The 32-year-old lefty has allowed three earned runs or fewer in seven of his eight starts to kick off his Mets debut. He’ll bring a strong 3.05 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 37/20 K/BB ratio across 41 1/3 innings (eight starts) into an extremely favorable road matchup on Saturday against the last-place Marlins.

    • Notches 10th save Monday
      Foley pitched a clean ninth inning with two strikeouts to record the save in Monday's 6-5 win over the Marlins.

      Advice: Foley has emerged in a crowded bullpen as the preferred closing option, and he's looked good so far, converting 10 out of 11 save chances and posting a solid 2.20 ERA. The righty came into the season with just seven career saves at the MLB level, and it's no guarantee he holds onto the job all year with other capable candidates on the roster. However, Foley is the top Detroit reliever to target for the moment, and he should deliver good fantasy value if he keeps pitching like this. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:12 pm
       
    • Jason Foley fans two on Monday for 10th save
      Jason Foley tossed a perfect ninth inning on Monday against the Marlins to collect his 10th save of the season.

      Advice: Foley got the call to protect a one-run margin in the final frame and required just 15 pitches (nine strikes) to end it. He struck out Tristan Gray and Jazz Chisholm Jr. to kick things off before getting Bryan De La Cruz to ground out to end the contest. He’s converted 10 of 11 save chances to go along with a 2.20 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 15/6 K/BB ratio across 16 1/3 innings (18 appearances). Rotoworld Monday, 6:50 pm
       
    • Throws Monday, but far off return
      Bradford (ribs) played catch Monday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

      Advice: According to MLB.com, manager Bruce Bochy said Friday that Bradford could be cleared to begin throwing off a mound at some point later on this week during the Rangers' six-game homestand. Bradford was originally placed on the 15-day injured list April 14 with lower-back soreness, but follow-up tests revealed that the southpaw had a "very small" stress fracture on the 12th rib on the right side of his body. Bochy said that the Rangers are expecting Bradford to be sidelined for another month, which would put him in line for a return around the middle of June. Bradford went 3-0 with a 1.40 ERA in three starts prior to landing on the IL, but the Rangers may not have a rotation spot available for him once he's healthy. Rotowire.com Monday, 5:06 pm
