    • DJ Herz hit hard in loss to Padres on Wednesday
      DJ Herz was hit hard in a losing effort against the Padres on Wednesday afternoon, surrendering four runs on six hits in just 3 1/3 innings of work.

      Advice: The left-hander also issued a pair of free passes while recording only one strikeout in the ballgame. Kyle Higashioka tagged him for a two-run blast to open the scoring in the second inning, then the Padres scratched out another pair of runs while chasing Herz in the fourth inning. The 23-year-old hurler got three swings and misses on 66 pitches on the day, posting an uninspiring CSW of 23 percent. He’ll try to improve upon his 5.48 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 27/7 K/BB ratio (21 1/3 innings) when he takes on the Mets at home on Tuesday. Rotoworld Today, 3:43 pm

    • Beginning rehab assignment
      Priester (lat) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Indianapolis on Wednesday, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Priester has been on the injured list since June 6, but he has been given the green light to test his injured lat in a competitive setting. The Pirates haven't specified how many rehab outings the 24-year-old will need, but it's likely he returns from the IL before the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Today, 3:35 pm
       
    • Rough return to majors
      Ashcraft (4-4) took the loss Wednesday as the Reds were downed 6-1 by the Pirates, surrendering six runs on nine hits and a walk over 5.1 innings. He struck out three.

      Advice: Making his first start in the big leagues since June 5, Ashcraft served up a solo shot to Rowdy Tellez in the fourth inning and a two-run blast to Andrew McCutchen in the fifth. The right-hander has been touched up for 11 long balls in 67.2 innings with Cincinnati this season, helping to fuel his 5.45 ERA. It's not clear how long Nick Lodolo will be sidelined with a blister, but the Reds don't seem to have a better option for his rotation spot. Assuming he gets another start, Ashcraft's homer issues will make him a very risky fantasy play in his next outing, which lines up to come on the road early next week in Yankee Stadium.

    • Called up for Game 2 start
      Atlanta appointed Elder as the 27th man for Wednesday's doubleheader, and he'll start Game 2 against the Cardinals.

      Advice: The right-hander was previously announced as the starter for Wednesday's nightcap, and he's now officially been added to the roster. Elder has struggled in his five starts for Atlanta this season with a 6.46 ERA, 1.94 WHIP and 19:11 K:BB across 23.2 innings. He'll likely be sent back to Triple-A Gwinnett following the contest.

    • Brady Singer settles for no-decision vs. Marlins
      Brady Singer allowed one run over 7 1/3 innings on Wednesday in a no-decision against the Marlins.

      Advice: Singer surrendered a run-scoring single to Nick Fortes in the second inning, which represented the lone tally against him in this one. Unfortunately, Kansas City’s offense didn’t respond with any run support until after his exit from the contest when they put up five runs in the eighth inning. The 27-year-old righty finished with five strikeouts and only issued one walk in his longest outing of the year so far. He’ll bring a strong 3.12 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 85/26 K/BB ratio across 89 1/3 innings (16 starts) into a home matchup on Tuesday against the Rays. Rotoworld Today, 2:23 pm
       
    • Spencer Arrighett whiffs 10 in seven-inning gem
      Spencer Arrighetti struck out 10 over seven shutout innings on Wednesday in a win over the Rockies.

      Advice: Arrighetti put together the strongest outing of his rookie campaign yet on Wednesday afternoon at Minute Maid Park, scattering three hits over seven scoreless frames, while recording his first-ever double-digit strikeout performance. The 24-year-old top pitching prospect generated 13 swinging strikes and finished with a near-elite 39 percent CSW. It’s notable that this unexpectedly brilliant effort comes after he was torched by the White Sox and Tigers, respectively, in his previous two outings. There’s definitely some streaming appeal here for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues, but he’s been the quintessential boom-or-bust dice roll over the last few weeks. He’ll square off against the struggling Blue Jays on Tuesday in his next outing. Rotoworld Today, 1:59 pm
       
    • Ryan Feltner gives up four runs in loss to Astros
      Ryan Feltner allowed four runs over six innings on Wednesday in a loss to the Astros.

      Advice: Feltner managed to hang in there into the middle innings, limiting Houston’s formidable lineup to just a pair of run-scoring singles, until the metaphorical wheels came off in the seventh inning. He was lifted after giving up back-to-back singles to open the frame, but reliever Tyler Kinley allowed both of those inherited runners to eventually cross the plate. He finished with two strikeouts and only handed out one free pass. He’ll bring an inflated 6.02 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 75/23 K/BB ratio across 86 2/3 innings (16 starts) into a home matchup on Wednesday against the Brewers. Rotoworld Today, 1:58 pm
       
    • Graham Ashcraft allows two homers in loss to Pirates
      Graham Ashcraft was lit up for six runs over 5 1/3 innings on Wednesday in a loss to the Pirates.

      Advice: Ashcraft’s struggles with keeping the ball in the yard persisted in this one as he surrendered nine hits, including a pair of homers. He was in the contest early before giving up a solo shot to Rowdy Tellez, a two-run blast to Andrew McCutchen and was charged with a couple additional runs when reliever Justin Wilson coughed up a two-run double to Jason Delay following his departure. The 26-year-old righty has been hit hard in 13 starts this season with an inflated 5.45 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 52/22 K/BB ratio across 67 2/3 innings of work. He’s not a recommended fantasy option if the Reds elect to hand him the ball on Tuesday against the Yankees. Rotoworld Today, 1:42 pm
       
    • Cruises through latest rehab start
      Gray (elbow) struck out four and allowed one run on four hits and zero walks over six innings in his rehab start Tuesday with Triple-A Rochester.

      Advice: Gray held Indianapolis scoreless through five frames before letting in a run in the sixth, but the right-hander still delivered the lengthiest and best of his four rehab starts since starting his minor-league assignment June 9. He covered 73 pitches in Tuesday's outing, a workload that should put him in line to handle a traditional starter's role when he returns from the 15-day injured list. Gray appears likely to rejoin the Washington rotation Monday or Tuesday against the Mets, as the Nationals are listing Patrick Corbin as the starter for Sunday's series finale in Tampa Bay, per Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com.
