    • Tanner Houck erratic, pulled in fourth inning
      Tanner Houck allowed three runs, one earned, over 3 1/3 innings on Friday against the Yankees. He walked four batters and struck out just one in a no-decision.

      Advice: A 45 minute rain delay early in this game made this start a bit wonky. Houck cruised through the first two innings before the storm and lost his touch afterwards. The three runs off him came on a fielder’s choice with an error, walk, and ground out. It’s been a rough few weeks for Houck relative to his early-season prowess, but this outing was more weird than outright bad. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:05 pm
       
    • Snags eighth save
      Beeks earned the save in Friday's 4-2 win over the Royals, pitching an inning with one strikeout and allowing two hits.

      Advice: The southpaw reliever entered in the ninth and looked to be in danger after he allowed two straight singles to lead off the frame. However, Beeks recovered by retiring the next three batters to work out of the jam, securing his 13th career save. The 30-year-old has collected the last two Colorado saves and produced four straight outings without allowing an earned run over 5.1 innings. He now sports a 4.09 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 34:17 K:BB across 44 innings this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:02 pm
       
    • Reese Olson racks up eight strikeouts in victory
      Reese Olson delivered a dominant performance in Friday night’s victory over the Reds, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits over his 5 2/3 innings of work.

      Advice: The right-hander piled up eight strikeouts on the night while issuing a pair of free passes. He served up a long solo homer to Spencer Steer in the fifth inning, then the Reds scratched out an unearned run while chasing Olson in the sixth inning. The 24-year-old right-hander generated 16 swings and misses on 88 pitches on the night — nine on his changeup — while posting a strong CSW of 34 percent. Now 3-8 on the season, Olson will carry a 3.22 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and an 89/28 K/BB ratio (95 innings) into his final start of the first half on Wednesday against the Guardians.

    • Carson Spiers allows three homers in loss Friday
      Carson Spiers was hit hard in a losing effort against the Tigers on Friday night, giving up four runs on eight hits over his 4 2/3 innings of work.

      Advice: The 26-year-old right-hander also issued a pair of walks on the night while striking out three. Spiers’ main problem in the contest was keeping the ball in the yard, as he served up solo homers to Parker Meadows and Colt Keith in the third inning and a two-run shot to Keith in the fifth inning. Spiers generated just four swings and misses on 89 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 20 percent. He now holds a 3.64 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and a 32/9 K/BB ratio over 42 innings in nine appearances (four starts) on the season. He’ll do battle against the Rockies on Wednesday in his final start of the first half of the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:34 pm
       
    • Michael Kopech slams door on Marlins on Friday
      Michael Kopech slammed the door on the Marlins on Friday night, navigating a tumultuous ninth inning to preserve a one-run victory.

      Advice: The 28-year-old hurler picked up his eighth save of the season for his efforts. As always, it wasn’t easy for Kopech, as he allowed a leadoff walk to Xavier Edwards to bring the tying run to the plate. He battled back though to get Vidal Brujan to bounce into a fielder’s choice and Nick Gordon on a called third strike before allowing a single to Jazz Chisholm Jr. and an RBI single to Bryan De La Cruz. Not to worry though, as he bore down to get Josh Bell on a ground ball to first base to end it. Kopech now sports a 4.58 ERA on the season to go with eight saves in 12 chances.

    • Drew Thorpe strikes out five in win over Marlins
      Drew Thorpe was terrific in Friday night’s victory over the Marlins in Miami, surrendering just one run on three hits over his 6 1/3 innings of work.

      Advice: The rookie right-hander punched out five batters on the night while issuing a pair of free passes. He held the Marlins scoreless through the first six frames, but returned for the seventh where he allowed a one-out double to Dane Myers before turning the ball over to the bullpen — and he ultimately scored. Thorpe generated 10 swings and misses on 90 pitches on the night — nine of those on his changeup — while posting an underwhelming CSW of 21 percent. He’ll see if he can replicate this success as he carries a 3-1 record, 3.38 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and an 18/14 K/BB ratio (26 2/3 innings) into his final start of the first half on Wednesday against the Twins.

    • Roddery Muñoz decent in bulk role on Friday night
      Roddery Muñoz pitched decently in a bulk role against the White Sox on Friday night, giving up two runs on four hits over his four innings of work.

      Advice: The right-hander also issued four walks on the evening while striking out two. The damage that was done against him came on run-scoring doubles by Martin Maldonado in the fourth inning and Nicky Lopez in the fifth. Muñoz got six swings and misses on 87 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of only 22 percent. He now holds a 5.48 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and a 40/24 K/BB ratio over 44 1/3 innings on the season. It’s unclear if he’ll be used as a true starter or behind and opener once again on Wednesday against the Astros in Houston. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:10 pm
       
    • Set to start Saturday
      Hancock, who is with the Mariners' taxi squad, is slated to start Saturday against the Blue Jays, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: In his last start in the majors, Hancock allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out one over seven innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on June 13. He has a 4.79 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over eight major-league starts this season. Hancock's spot start Saturday gives the Mariners' rotation extra rest while Bryan Woo (hamstring) begins his rehab assignment with High-A Everett over the weekend.

    • Emerson Hancock to start for Mariners on Saturday
      Emerson Hancock will be recalled from Triple-A Tacoma to start for the Mariners on Saturday against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Hancock is already with the team on their taxi squad, but he’ll officially get the call prior to Saturday’s game. The 25-year-old right-hander has already made eight starts for the M’s this season, posting a 4.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and a 24/13 K/BB ratio over 41 1/3 innings. The Blue Jays’ offense as a whole has been better of late though, so it’s no longer the strong streaming target that it was earlier in the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:29 pm
