  • Lands another save
    Thielbar earned the save Monday against the White Sox, allowing one hit and one walk with two strikeouts over a scoreless inning.

    Advice: Theilbar followed both Griffin Jax and Brock Stewart for his second save in as many appearances. However, with Jhoan Duran (oblique) expected to be activated Tuesday after an IL stint, Thielbar will likely return to a middle relief role. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Out again Monday
    Stephenson (hand) didn't play in Monday's 5-2 victory over the Padres.

    Advice: Stephenson has now missed two consecutive matchups after being struck on the right hand by a pitch Saturday against the Rangers. Luke Maile drew the start behind the dish Monday and could continue to see playing time until Stephenson is cleared to return. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Swats another homer
    Jansen went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 6-5 win over the Royals.

    Advice: Jansen tagged Jonathan Bowlan for a solo homer in the third inning, marking the catcher's second home run in the last three games. After missing the first few weeks of the season with an injury, Jansen is slashing .269/.387/.615 with a 12.9 percent strikeout rate in 31 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Sent for precautionary MRI
    Encarnacion-Strand (hand) underwent a precautionary MRI on Monday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

    Advice: Encarnacion-Strand has been held out of each of his club's last two games while dealing with soreness in his left hand, and the team sent him for further imaging Monday to make sure he's not dealing with anything serious. "He's feeling better, but we're just making sure," said manager David Bell. Encarnacion-Strand will continue to be considered day-to-day heading into Tuesday. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Delivers first homer of 2024
    Fermin went 2-for-3 with a solo home run during Monday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Fermin started behind the dish due to Salvador Perez getting the day off. Fermin notched his second multi-hit game of the campaign and his eighth-inning solo home run off Erik Swanson marked Fermin's 10th career long ball. In 47 plate appearances, Fermin is slashing .227/.277/.318 and is striking out at a 10.6 percent clip. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Jo Adell homers from two hole in Angels’ win
    Jo Adell hit his fourth homer Monday as the Angels edged the Phillies 6-5.

    Advice: Adell was moved into the second spot in the lineup tonight, and while we’re not sure that’s exactly the right spot for an awful baserunner who strikes out a whole lot, it’s closer to where he belongs than where he was batting previously. Adell remains a flawed player, but he definitely seems to have made some gains again this year after also showing signs of progress last season. Whether he’s a long-term asset in mixed leagues remains to be seen, but he’s worth using right now. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago

  • Griffin Canning gives up four runs to Phillies
    Griffin Canning yielded four runs and five walks in five innings Monday against the Phillies.

    Advice: Canning managed just one strikeout and four missed swings tonight. There still might be some hope for him if he recovers the two mph he’s lost since last season, but he’s not a very good bet at the moment. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
     
  • Carlos Estévez gives up run, earns save anyway
    Carlos Estévez got a save despite allowing a run in the ninth Monday against the Phillies.

    Advice: Estévez gave up a single, a double and a sac fly before finishing off the Phillies tonight. His stuff is worse than it was last year, and we wouldn’t expect much help in ERA and WHIP here. Still, with Robert Stephenson down for the year and José Soriano in the rotation, his closing gig is very secure. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
     
  • Nick Castellanos goes 0-for-4 in loss to Angels
    Nick Castellanos went 0-for-4 in the loss to the Angels on Monday.

    Advice: While Castellanos’s track record certainly suggests that he will hit, this has been awfully ugly; he’s batting just .173/.242/.218 through 120 plate appearances. The only players with worse OPSs currently qualified for the batting title are rookie second basemen (Colt Keith and Enmanuel Valdez). Castellanos has always been worse than most in recognizing what pitches to swing at, but his natural talent at putting bat to ball has made up for it. That could be changing at age 32, and the Phillies might have to consider an upgrade in right field at some point. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago
