  • Opening Saturday
    McGough will serve as Arizona's opening pitcher for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

    Advice: Saturday will mark McGough's second time serving as Arizona's opener, and he's once again expected to work in front of Tommy Henry, who is likely to operate as a bulk reliever. McGough owns a 5.85 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across 20 innings this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:43 pm
     
  • Ryne Stanek works around double for save
    Ryne Stanek allowed one hit and no runs while picking up a save Friday against the Rangers.

    Advice: Andres Munoz worked the eighth inning, so the Mariners turned to Stanek for the save chance. He did allow a double to Wyatt Langford, but he was able to work around it while procuring his sixth save of 2024. Munoz is going to get most of the chances, but those desperate for saves might wanna look Stanek’s way. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:39 pm
     
  • Earns 10th save
    Jansen earned a save against the Phillies on Wednesday, allowing one run on one hit and a walk with one strikeout.

    Advice: Tasked with protecting a three-run lead in the ninth inning, Jansen allowed Bryce Harper to score after a leadoff double but was able to lock up his first save since May 26. While it was a long stretch between save chances, Jansen is now 10-for-11 on the season and has not blown a save since April 16. He currently owns a 2.91 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 30:11 K:BB in 21.2 innings. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:56 pm
     
  • Kenley Jansen notches first save of June
    Kenley Jansen recorded his 10th save after allowing one run in the ninth Wednesday against the Phillies.

    Advice: A softly hit double, a balk and a sac fly produced the run. Fortunately, Jansen entered with a three-run cushion, and he recorded his first save since May 26. It’s not at all his fault; the Red Sox just aren’t generating many save chances these days. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:37 pm
     
  • Next start pushed back
    Manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that Yamamoto's next start will be pushed back from Thursday against the Rangers in Los Angeles to Saturday's home game versus Kansas City, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    Advice: The Dodgers haven't announced a replacement starter for Thursday's contest, but they will give the rookie right-hander an extra couple of days to rest up after he threw a season-high 106 pitches across seven scoreless innings during his last outing against the Yankees on June 7. The 25-year-old has put up a 2.50 ERA and 1.11 WHIP alongside a 22:5 K:BB across 18 innings over his last three starts. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:38 pm
     
  • Collects save Tuesday
    Stanek pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Stanek earned the win Monday after the Mariners won in walk-off fashion, and he was able to protect a lead Tuesday. The right-hander has pitched back-to-back days twice in the last week, while Andres Munoz, who recently dealt with a back injury, has taken the mound just once in that span. Stanek has had mixed results as a setup man in 2024, posting a 4.21 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 28:10 K:BB over 25.2 innings while adding five saves, 10 holds and two blown saves.

  • Ryne Stanek earns fifth save for Mariners
    Ryne Stanek notched his fifth save with a perfect ninth versus the White Sox on Tuesday.

    Advice: Andrés Muñoz (back) was obviously unavailable again tonight. The Mariners are calling Muñoz day-to-day, but if that changes, Stanek will be worth using in mixed leagues. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:53 pm
     
  • Bounces back with win Monday
    Stanek (4-1) got the win over the White Sox on Monday, allowing two hits and recording three strikeouts over a scoreless ninth inning.

    Advice: Stanek got a couple of days to rest his arm and clear his head after taking a loss against the Royals in a 24-pitch outing Saturday, and the veteran was able to bounce back during a laborious but successful ninth inning. The right-hander worked around a pair of singles he allowed to Oscar Colas and Nicky Lopez by recording swinging strikeouts of Korey Lee, Corey Julks and Luis Robert. Stanek then became the pitcher of record when Cal Raleigh slugged a walk-off grand slam in the home half of the final frame, capping off the reliever's sixth scoreless effort in the last seven outings with a victory.

  • Erick Fedde excels for seven before pen implodes
    Erick Fedde surrendered one run in seven-plus innings Monday in a no-decision against the Mariners.

    Advice: It would have been seven scoreless innings for Fedde had he been pulled then, but Pedro Grifol thought he was the best choice to start the eighth. Grifol then quickly changed his mind after a leadoff homer. Fedde was pulled from a 4-1 game at that point, only to sit and watch as the White Sox bullpen blew the game. With a 3.10 ERA through 14 starts, Fedde is counting the days until he’s traded to a major league team. Rotoworld Monday, 10:44 pm
