  • Perfect for fourth save
    Romano earned the save Sunday against the Dodgers, striking out two over a perfect ninth inning.

    Advice: Romano converted on his fourth straight save attempt to start the campaign, pitching his second perfect inning in six appearances. After missing the first few weeks of the season with an elbow injury, Romano has shown no rust, owning a 3.18 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP through 5.2 frames. Rotowire.com Today, 7:57 pm
     
  • Cruises to ninth save
    Finnegan walked one in a scoreless ninth to pick up the save during Sunday's 12-9 victory over the Marlins. He struck out one.

    Advice: Finnegan needed 21 pitches to finish the game but kept things clean to match the league-lead with his ninth save in 10 opportunities. He lowered his ERA to 2.19 with a 0.97 WHIP and 11 strikeouts over 12.1 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 7:55 pm
     
  • Shuts down Dodgers
    Gausman (1-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and no walks across seven innings against the Dodgers. He struck out five.

    Advice: The lone run against Gausman came in the sixth inning on a homer by Freddie Freeman. After allowing 12 earned runs in his first three starts (9.1 innings), Gausman has rounded into form with just two earned runs allowed since (18.2 innings). He'll look to keep the ball rolling during a weekend road series against the Nationals. Rotowire.com Today, 7:54 pm
     
  • Roughed up in no-decision
    Weathers did not factor into the decision during Sunday's 12-9 loss to the Nationals, allowing six runs on five hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out three.

    Advice: Weathers also hit three batters, allowing a total of 11 batters to reach base during his four-inning performance. The Marlins jumped out to an early 7-0 lead, which Weathers hung on to maintain through three innings, but a five-run fourth followed by beginning the fifth with his third hit batsman led to his removal from the game as the Nationals overtook the Marlins for good during that frame. Weathers entered the contest with a 3.16 ERA but saw that number balloon to 4.55 by the end of his outing. He'll look to rebound in a favorable matchup, tentatively scheduled to take place next weekend when the Marlins travel to Oakland to take on the A's. Rotowire.com Today, 7:49 pm
     
  • Struggles as starter
    Grove (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks against the Blue Jays. He struck out three.

    Advice: Grove led off a bullpen game for the Dodgers and was promptly pulled after a three-run second inning. During the frame, Grove allowed three hits -- including a double to Justin Turner and a solo homer to Alejandro Kirk -- and hit Cavan Biggio with a pitch. Although Grove owns a 6.88 ERA, Sunday's outing marked his first runs allowed since April 5 (7.1 innings). Rotowire.com Today, 7:49 pm

  • Suffers hand injury in win
    Yoshida exited Sunday's 6-5 win over the Cubs in the sixth inning due to a left hand injury, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Yoshida jammed his left hand on a groundout in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning, ultimately leaving the game after the top of the sixth inning. Considering the outfielder was able remain in the game as long as he did and even record a hit in his second at-bat, it's possible that the injury is minor. The team will determine if he needs x-rays during Monday's off day and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being. Rotowire.com Today, 7:47 pm

  • Kyle Finnegan locks down 9th save of season
    Kyle Finnegan closed down the Nationals’ 12-9 win over the Marlins on Sunday.

    Advice: It never seems to come easy for Finnegan, who also walked a hitter on Sunday and threw just 56 percent of his pitches for strikes. However, the Marlins weren’t able to mount much of a challenge and he now has a 2.19 ERA to go along with nine saves. Who knows how long it will last, but it’s hard to argue with the current production. Rotoworld Today, 2:44 pm
     
  • Senzel homers twice in win over Marlins
    Nick Senzel went 2-for-6 with two home runs and five RBI in a win over the Marlins on Sunday.

    Advice: Those were Senzel’s first two home runs of the season, but both were well-struck, traveling over 400 feet each time. The 28-year-old is not known for having big-time power and is slashing just .222/.263/.639 on the season with nine RBI, so this was likely just a one-off great day. However, he is playing most days for the Nationals and could be on the radar in the deepest formats. Rotoworld Today, 2:42 pm

  • Young has three hits, two SB in win over Miami
    Jacob Young with 3-for-5 with three RBI, two runs scored, and two steals in a win over the Marlins on Sunday.

    Advice: Young now has 10 steals and a .333/.375/.400 slash line since becoming the regular center fielder. He hits 9th in the lineup and doesn’t bring much power to the table, so it’s hard to get overly excited, but he’s a great source of speed while he’s hitting like this. If you need steals, he could be a sneaky waiver add. Rotoworld Today, 2:38 pm
