  • Johan Rojas has three hits, homer to lead Phillies
    Johan Rojas went 3-for-5 with a homer, stolen base and two RBI on Friday night, leading the Phillies to an 8-2 victory over the Marlins in Miami.

    Advice: Rojas plated Edmundo Sosa with a run-scoring single off of Trevor Rogers in the second inning that extended the Phillies’ lead to 2-0. He then clobbered a 388-foot (100.6 mph EV) solo shot off of Eli Villalobos in the seventh inning that made it 7-0. With his three-hit attack, the 23-year-old is now hitting .234/.281/.336 with a pair of homers, 10 RBI and eight stolen bases. Rotoworld 4 minutes ago
     
  • Nick Castellanos goes deep in victory over Marlins
    Nick Castellanos clubbed his third home run of the season on Friday night as the Phillies crushed the Marlins in Miami.

    Advice: Castellanos opened the scoring in the contest with his 400-foot (104.4 mph EV) solo shot off of Trevor Rogers in the second inning. That would be his only hit in five at-bats on the night. For the season, the 32-year-old slugger is hitting an underwhelming .207/.268/.303 with just three homers and 13 RBI.

  • Ranger Suárez dominates again in win over Marlins
    Ranger Suárez delivered yet another dominant performance in Friday night’s victory over the Marlins, racking up nine strikeouts over seven innings of shutout baseball.

    Advice: The 28-year-old southpaw scattered just three hits on the evening while issuing two free passes. While two of the three hits that he allowed were doubles, the Marlins never seriously threatened against him. Suárez got nine swings and misses on 97 pitches on the night, posting an elite CSW of 36 percent. He now sits at 7-0 on the season with an impeccable 1.50 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and a 55/8 K/BB ratio over 54 innings through his first eight starts. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling when he takes the mound against the Mets on Wednesday night. Rotoworld 4 minutes ago
     
  • Josh Bell plates two as Marlins fall to Phillies
    Josh Bell doubled and drove in a pair of runs on Friday night as the Marlins were crushed by the Phillies in Miami.

    Advice: Bell did his best to avoid a shutout at least, smacking a two-run double off of Giovanny Soto in the eighth inning that pulled the Marlins to within six runs at 8-2. He finished the night 1-for-3 plus a walk and is now hitting a putrid .204/.295/.313 with four homers and 15 RBI on the season. Rotoworld 5 minutes ago

  • Trevor Rogers demolished in loss to Phillies
    Trevor Rogers was demolished in Friday night’s loss to the Phillies, giving up five runs (four earned) on nine hits in just 3 1/3 innings of work.

    Advice: Woof. Rogers struck out three and walked two during the abbreviated outing. The Phillies scored twice in the second inning — including a solo blast by Nick Castellanos — then really broke it open by scoring three more runs while chasing Rogers in the fourth inning. The 26-year-old southpaw got nine swings and misses on 81 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 27 percent. He’ll attempt to improve upon his grotesque 6.57 ERA and 1.86 WHIP when he takes on the struggling offense of the Tigers on Wednesday in Detroit. It’s the classic, stoppable force meets moveable object scenario. Something has to give. Rotoworld 5 minutes ago
     
  • Joe Ryan keeps Blue Jays quiet in victory
    Joe Ryan pitched seven innings of one-run ball Friday in the Twins’ 3-2 defeat of the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The lone run was a 365-foot homer from Isiah Kiner-Falefa. The ball barely rated as hard hit, leaving his bat at 95.5 mph, and was a homer in only 11 ballparks. It’s Ryan’s fourth straight quality start, and he still hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in a game this season. Alas, the win tonight was only his second. Ryan will face the Yankees next.

  • Jhoan Duran gets hold against Blue Jays
    Jhoan Duran pitched a hitless eighth against the Blue Jays for his third hold Friday.

    Advice: Everything seemed great when Duran notched saves in his first two appearances back from the IL, but he’s been asked to pitch the eighth in three of four outings since. It’s strictly a leverage thing, but it’s annoying for us fantasy leaguers. Duran has been practically perfect since being activated, allowing a total of two hits in six scoreless innings.

  • Griffin Jax earns fifth save for Twins
    Griffin Jax recorded his fifth save despite giving up a run in the ninth to the Blue Jays on Friday.

    Advice: The Twins again opted to give Jhoan Duran what looked like the tougher assignment in the eighth. Jax came in with a two-run lead in the ninth and allowed a walk and two singles before finishing off the Blue Jays. He’s going to retain some value in deeper mixed leagues if the Twins keep using Duran like this. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
     
  • Yusei Kikuchi goes eight in tough loss to Twins
    Yusei Kikuchi took a tough loss Friday after limiting the Twins to two runs over eight innings.

    Advice: Kikuchi allowed four hits, walked none and struck out three. He currently has a 5.1 K:BB ratio (46/9 in 47 2/3 IP). He came in at 2.4 in his first four years in MLB before finishing at 3.8 in his breakthrough 2023 campaign. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
