  • Trevor Megill takes blown save Monday vs. Marlins
    Trevor Megill allowed one run in the ninth inning on Monday against the Marlins in a blown save.

    Advice: Megill got the call to protect a one-run lead in the ninth inning and wound up surrendering a game-tying single to Otto Lopez with two outs in the frame. It was only his first blown save of the season in seven opportunities. The 30-year-old righty figures to continue serving as Milwaukee’s primary stopper until Devin Williams is ready to return sometime around midseason. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
     
  • Ryan Weathers strikes out eight in no-decision
    Ryan Weathers struck out eight and was charged with two runs (one earned) over seven innings on Monday in a no-decision against the Brewers.

    Advice: Weathers generated 14 swinging strikes, including seven on his changeup alone, and finished with a robust 34 percent CSW. The 24-year-old lefty has pitched extremely well this season, allowing three earned runs or fewer in nine of his 10 starts.

He’ll bring a solid 3.49 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 46/19 K/BB ratio across 56 2/3 innings (10 starts) into a road titlt on Sunday against the Diamondbacks. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
     
  • Dominates Rays
    Houck (4-5) yielded two hits and a walk over seven shutout frames Monday, striking out five and earning a win over Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Houck was terrific Monday and didn't let any baserunners reach scoring position. It was his fourth scoreless start of the year, dropping his season ERA to 1.94 through 65 frames. Houck entered Monday's start on a four-game losing streak over his previous five starts. However, he registered an impressive 2.87 ERA during that span. Houck's next start is projected to be at home against the Brewers this weekend. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
     
  • Joe Ross likely to land on IL with strained back
    Joe Ross will likely require an IL stint after leaving Monday’s game with a back strain.

    Advice: It appears that the Brewers are invested in giving Bradley Blalock a look as a reliever, so Tobias Myers might be the choice to step in for Ross. Blalock would be more interesting, though. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago

    Advice: Holmes hadn’t allowed an earned run all season. He entered with a 4-1 lead against the Mariners. After a Josh Rojas ground to begin the ninth inning, the floodgates opened.

Mitch Haniger singled to center to make it 4-3. Dylan Moore walked. Dominic Canzone hit a sacrifice fly to tie the game and Ty France singled on a ground ball to give the Mariners the lead.

  • Gilbert gets quality start and no-decision Monday

    Advice: Gilbert recorded only one strikeout and allowed eight hits and a walk. He battled in a tough matchup against the Yankees on the road. This was his lowest strikeout total of the season by far, but otherwise Gilbert has been fairly consistent. He’s had eight quality starts in 10 tries this season.

  • Stroman allows one run in no-decision
    Marcus Stroman allowed one run in 7 ⅓ innings, struck out six and got a no-decision in the Yankees’ 5-4 loss to the Mariners on Monday.



    Advice: Stroman was in line for his fourth of the season, but the bullpen was unable to hold the lead. He began the eighth inning by striking out Dylan Moore before allowing a solo home run to Dominic Canzone as the only run he allowed all night. Yankees manager Aaron Boone then removed Stroman for Luke Weaver. Stroman lowered his ERA to 3.05 on the season with his fourth quality start in 10 tries. The 33-year-old right-hander is scheduled to face the Padres on the road on Saturday.

  • Mitchell Parker fans seven in victory over Twins
    Mitchell Parker surrendered three runs over six innings on Monday in a win over the Twins.

    Advice: Parker fell behind early when Kyle Farmer connected for an RBI single in the second inning, but managed to keep Minnesota’s lineup scoreless until a sixth-inning homer by Carlos Correa. He generated 13 swinging strikes and finished with a solid 32 percent CSW. The 24-year-old southpaw has alllowed three earned runs or fewer in seven straight starts to open his career, quickly emerging as an interesting streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues.

  • Pablo López crushed for seven runs Monday in loss
    Pablo López was torched for a season-high seven runs over five innings on Monday in a loss to the Nationals.

    Advice: López coughed up early homers to Luis García Jr. and Jesse Winker before things came completely unraveled in the fifth inning when he surrendered run-scoring singles to Jacob Young, Joey Meneses and Garcia. He struck out five and only handed out one free pass.
