    • Secures fourth save
      Neris worked around two walks to pitch a clean ninth inning and record the save in Monday's 3-1 win over the Mets. He struck out two.

      Advice: Neris put a few runners on base, but he got out of trouble to secure his fourth save of the season. All of those saves have come in the last nine days, which coincides with Adbert Alzolay getting removed from the closer's role. The more success Neris has moving forward, the firmer his grip will get on the job, which will only increase his fantasy value. The veteran is the top Chicago reliever to target at the moment.

    • Héctor Neris notches fourth save Monday vs. Mets
      Héctor Neris tossed a scoreless ninth inning on Monday against the Mets to record his fourth save of the season.

      Advice: Neris continues to tighten his hold on Chicago’s closing role, converting four of his five save chances, including three in the last week alone since Adbert Alzolay was removed from the late-inning mix. The 34-year-old righty has allowed just one run over his last seven appearances since April 13. At this point, he should be rostered in all fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Today, 6:27 pm
       
    • Brandon Lowe (oblique) undergoes MRI
      Rays manager Kevin Cash told reporters that Brandon Lowe got “pretty good” results on the MRI on his oblique.

      Advice: “We’ll just kind of take it day to day, Cash told reporters. Ok. Lowe has been out of the lineup since early in April with the strain, and it doesn’t sound like there’s a concrete timetable for when the infielder will return. Curtis Mead will continue to see the majority of time at second base while Lowe is on the shelf. Rotoworld Today, 4:00 pm

    • Two hit in win
      Lowe went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Lowe, batting third in the order for the fifth straight game, singled in the first inning and scored on Adolis Garcia's two-run home run. The first baseman has reached base safely in all eight games since returning from a season-opening stint on the injured list due to an oblique injury. Lowe is batting .310/.375/.448 with two extra-base hits, one RBI and five runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 5:21 am
       
    • Wyatt Langford’s first homer is inside-the-parker
      Wyatt Langford made his first career homer an inside-the-parker Sunday in the Rangers’ 4-3 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Langford’s shot to right-center would have been a traditional homer in six ballparks. In Texas, it bounced off a fortunately angled wall and shot far into right field, allowing Langford to score without a play. Langford is batting .248/.325/.327 with 11 RBI through 27 games. It’s not quite what people expected after his huge spring, but he also hasn’t seemed overmatched in the least. He’ll continue improving from here. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:42 pm
       
    • Secures first major-league homer
      Langford went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Langford entered Sunday homerless through his first 26 major-league contests, but that came to an end in quite the unique fashion. With one on and two out in the top of the first, the outfielder launched a high flyball to right center field, which ricocheted off the wall and rolled away from right fielder Jake Fraley, allowing Langford to round the bases for an inside-the-park home run. Langford, who picked up his first RBI since April 18, is now batting .248 with 11 RBI, 13 runs and a stolen base over 101 at-bats in 27 games this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:33 pm
       
    • Earns league-leading ninth save
      Foley allowed one hit and one walk over one scoreless frame to earn the save Sunday against the Royals. He struck out two.

      Advice: Foley kept things interesting by allowing the first two batters he faced to reach but induced a groundout followed by two strikeouts to join four other relievers with his league-leading ninth save in as many opportunities. The Tigers' closer lowered his ERA to 1.38 with a 1.23 WHIP and 13 strikeouts across 13 innings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:32 pm

    • Jason Foley escapes with save on Sunday
      Jason Foley pitched around two baserunners to earn a save in the Tigers’ 4-1 win over the Royals on Sunday.

      Advice: Foley was called on to protect the three-run lead and immediately walked a batter and allowed a single. However, he was able to pitch himself out of trouble with a ground out and back-to-back strikeouts. The right-hander now has a 1.38 ERA and nine saves on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:52 pm

    • Receives Sunday off
      McCutchen is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

      Advice: McCutchen started the previous three games and will head to the bench after going 1-for-12 with two walks and five strikeouts. Edward Olivares will bat fifth as the designated hitter Sunday for the Pirates. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:26 pm
