  • Mets option LHP Josh Walker to Triple-A
    Mets optioned LHP Josh Walker to Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: Walker is going to be an up-and-down option for the Mets all year. The 29-year-old southpaw will head back to Triple-A for now with southpaw Danny Young being recalled from Syracuse to take his place on the active roster. Rotoworld Today, 7:31 am
     
  • Takes another no-decision
    Mize didn't factor in the decision Saturday versus Kansas City after he allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits and no walks across five innings. He struck out two.

    Advice: The 26-year-old was in line for his first loss of the season as exited with the Tigers trailing 3-1 through six innings, but the offense got him off the hook for the loss with a five-run seventh. Mize missed all of last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, but he's pitched well early in 2024 with a 3.08 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB over 26.1 innings. He's yet to allow more than three runs in any of his five starts. Rotowire.com Today, 7:29 am
     
  • Solid in no-decision
    Singer didn't factor in the decision Saturday at Detroit after he allowed one run on four hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.

    Advice: The right-hander gave up a run on a walk and a triple during the second inning but blanked the Tigers in his other four frames. Despite the strong run prevention, it was the third straight start with three walks for Singer, who generated just eight swings-and-misses Saturday. The 27-year-old has enjoyed a strong first month of the season with a 2.62 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 34:13 K:BB across 34.1 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 7:23 am
     
  • Secures fourth save
    Munoz earned the save over the Diamondbacks on Saturday, pitching a perfect ninth inning while striking out one.

    Advice: Munoz entered the game with a two-run lead in the ninth and went 1-2-3 through the heart of Arizona's lineup to secure his fourth save of the season. The right-handed reliever has now converted his last two save attempts after being tagged with the loss in extras against the Rockies a week ago and has not allowed a baserunner over that brief stretch.

  • Another strong outing
    Cecconi (1-1) took the loss Saturday against the Mariners, allowing one run on three hits and one walk while striking out eight over six innings.

    Advice: Cecconi stifled Seattle's lineup for most of the contest, retiring 11 of the first 12 batters he faced, with seven of those batters going down on strikes. The 24-year-old right-hander would still get tagged with the loss after allowing an RBI single in the fifth, though he's now worked six solid innings in each of his first two starts to open the campaign. Cecconi's only surrendered three runs over that stretch while posting an 11:1 K:BB. Rotowire.com Today, 7:09 am
     
  • Holds on for eighth save
    Foley allowed two runs on three hits and no walks during the ninth inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-5 win against the Royals.

    Advice: The right-hander was staked a three-run lead and needed all of it as he surrendered his first earned runs of the campaign Saturday. Foley remains perfect in eight save chances this season and has a 1.50 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB across 12 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 7:09 am
     
  • Red Sox designate Joely Rodriguez for assignment
    Red Sox designated LHP Joely Rodriguez for assignment.

    Advice: Rodriguez is removed from both the active and 40-man roster to make room for Naoyuki Uwasawa. The left-hander did not pitch well in his 11 appearances for Boston with a 6.55 ERA and 1.55 WHIP over 11 frames. If he goes unclaimed, Rodriguez will have the option to either report to Triple-A Worcester or elect free agency. Rotoworld Today, 7:04 am
     
  • Career-high 12 strikeouts
    Kirby (3-2) earned the win over the Diamondbacks on Saturday, hurling seven shutout innings while allowing two hits and two walks. He struck out 12.

    Advice: Kirby wasn't playing around Saturday, fanning six of the first eight batters he faced en route to recording a career-high 12 strikeouts on the night. The right-hander has now hurled 12 shutout innings over his last two starts while Saturday also marked the second time this season in which he's allowed only two hits. Kirby carries a 30:2 K:BB through five starts this month and has won his last two decisions. Rotowire.com Today, 7:01 am
     
  • Pushed off 40-man roster
    The Red Sox designated Rodriguez for assignment Sunday.

    Advice: Boston recalled right-hander Naoyuki Uwasawa from Triple-A Worcester in a corresponding move, but because Rodriguez doesn't have any minor-league options remaining, he was moved off the 40-man roster to make room on the 26-man active roster for Uwasawa. The lefty reliever has a decent track record at the big-league level, but he struggled in his 11 appearances with Boston so far this season, logging a 6.55 ERA, 1.55 WHIP and 11:2 K:BB in 11 innings. It's unclear if Rodriguez will be a sought-after commodity on the waiver wire, despite being on an affordable one-year, $1.5 million contract this season. Rotowire.com Today, 6:41 am
