  • Lackluster start in Colorado
    Herz allowed four runs (three earned) on seven hits over 3.2 innings in a no-decision Friday. He struck out five during the win over the Rockies.

    Advice: All four runs against Herz came on three homers as he stumbled in his first appearance at Coors Field. Entering Friday's start, he'd given up only one long ball through 14.1 innings to begin his MLB career. Herz fired a 13-strikeout quality start against Miami on June 15 but has totaled just 12 innings in his other three outings. He's sporting a 4.50 ERA with a strong 26:5 K:BB through 18 innings. Herz is currently in line for a start in San Diego next week. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
     
  • Hammered for eight runs
    Hudson (2-10) allowed eight runs on 11 hits and two walks over three-plus innings while taking a loss against the Nationals on Friday.

    Advice: Hudson kept Washington scoreless for two innings before an ugly five-run third inning. The Nationals piled on four more runs in the fourth, with three of them being charged to Hudson. He's lost three straight starts while posting a 7.20 ERA during that stretch, bumping his season ERA to 5.63 through 76.2 frames. Friday's performance was his shortest outing of the year and the most runs he's allowed in a start. Hudson's next matchup is expected to be on the road against the White Sox.

  • DJ Herz gives up three homers in start vs. Rockies
    DJ Herz didn’t factor into the decision after allowing four runs — three earned — in 3 2/3 innings against the Rockies.

    Advice: Herz was able to strike out five in the start, which is good. He also gave up seven hits with three of them homers, which is not. The left-hander was dominant against the Marlins with 13 punchouts Saturday, but while the swing-and-miss ability was still apparent, the lack of ideal command was as well. He’s a very risky starter against the Padres next week. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago
     
  • Dakota Hudson roughed up for eight runs
    Dakota Hudson allowed eight runs in just three innings while picking up a loss to the Nationals on Friday.

    Advice: Not ideal. Hudson allowed 11 hits in the loss — two of those homers — and he didn’t pick up a single strikeout. The 29-year-old has mostly been effective in 2024, and he’s earned his 2-10 record over the first half of 2024. The only good news for Hudson going forward is his next start comes against the White Sox. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago

  • Patrick Sandoval exits game with forearm tightness
    Patrick Sandoval was removed from Friday night’s start against the Dodgers in the third inning due to left forearm tightness.

    Advice: Sandoval delivered a pitch to Shohei Ohtani and immediately knew something was wrong and signaled for the training staff. He’ll almost assuredly undergo an MRI exam to determine the severity of the issue, but it’s likely that a lengthy stint on the injury list is upcoming. The Angels should have a better idea of his status on Saturday. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago
     
  • Dealing with forearm issue
    Sandoval exited Friday's start against the Dodgers with left forearm tightness.

    Advice: Sandoval was pulled abruptly in the third inning after issuing a walk to Shohei Ohtani. A timeline for Sandoval's return isn't available, but it would come as a significant surprise if he doesn't land on the injured list. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
