    • Keeps rolling with seventh save
      Phillips earned a save against the Nationals on Thursday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning of work.

      Advice: Phillips didn't have any trouble protecting Los Angeles' one-run ninth-inning lead, striking out the first two batters he faced before inducing a game-ending groundout. The right-hander has yielded just one earned run over 10.2 innings on the season, giving him a minuscule 0.84 ERA. Phillips has converted all seven of his save chances as he continues to build his case as one of the league's most reliable closers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:24 pm
       
    • Freddie Freeman scalds RBI double in Dodgers’ win
      Freddie Freeman went 2-for-3 with an RBI double on Thursday, lifting the Dodgers to a 2-1 victory over the Nationals.

      Advice: Freeman has flown a bit under the radar with Mookie Betts and Shohei Ohtani justifiably stealing the early-season spotlight. However, his latest multi-hit performance puts his batting average back above the .300 mark for the first time this season. The 34-year-old fantasy stalwart has shown zero signs of slowing down at this stage of his career and remains an elite four-category contributor also capable of chipping in the occasional stolen base.

    • Evan Phillips nets seventh save Thursday vs. Nats
      Evan Phillips struck out two in a perfect ninth inning on Thursday against the Nationals to record his seventh save of the season.

      Advice: Phillips was called upon to guard a one-run lead in the ninth inning and needed just 14 pitches (10 strikes) to slam the door for the second time in the brief three-game series. The 29-year-old righty has converted each of his seven save opportunities this season to go along with a microscopic 0.84 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 13/4 K/BB ratio across 10 2/3 innings (11 appearances).

    • Mariners place J.P. Crawford (oblique) on 10-day IL
      Mariners placed SS J.P. Crawford on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 24, with a right oblique strain.

      Advice: Crawford was pulled from the starting lineup on Wednesday after he experienced discomfort in warmups and now will be sidelined for at least the next week or so. The 29-year-old was starting to get in a rhythm at the plate going 7-for-21 (.333 AVG) with four RBI in his past five games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:21 am
       
    • Headed to IL with oblique strain
      The Mariners placed Crawford on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 right oblique strain.

      Advice: Crawford was a late scratch from the lineup ahead of Wednesday's loss to the Rangers, and subsequent testing revealed that he was dealing with an oblique strain. Grade 1 is the least severe type of strain, so it's possible that Crawford's stint on the IL won't be a lengthy one. Dylan Moore will make his second straight start at shortstop Thursday and is expected to serve as the primary replacement for Crawford during his upcoming absence.

    • Held out again Thursday
      Crawford (oblique) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Rangers.

      Advice: Crawford had to be scratched from Wednesday's lineup with right oblique soreness and now will miss a second straight start. Infielder Leonardo Rivas has joined the Mariners on their taxi squad, per Shannon Drayer of Seattle Sports 710 AM, so it would appear possible that Crawford will require a stint on the injured list. Dylan Moore is handling shortstop Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:29 am
       
    • Back in action Thursday
      Raleigh (mouth) will start at catcher and bat third in Thursday's game versus the Rangers.

      Advice: Raleigh missed Wednesday's 5-1 loss following a dental procedure, but he'll be back in action for Thursday's series finale. The switch-hitting catcher enters play Thursday having slugged home runs in four of his last five games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:22 am
       
    • Ends homer drought
      Arozarena went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Tigers.

      Advice: Arozarena went deep in his first plate appearance of the game, snapping a 19-start homeless drought. He struck out in his remaining three at-bats and has now punched out three times in three of his last five contests. Arozarena has gotten off to a poor start to the season, highlighted by a .158 average and a 29.1 percent strikeout rate. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:53 am
       
    • Blasts seventh homer
      Ward went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's loss to the Orioles.

      Advice: Ward followed up Mike Trout's solo homer in the bottom of the sixth with a two-run shot of his own just two batters later, bringing the Angels back within three runs of Baltimore. The outfielder now has five homers and 19 RBI in April, though he's gone just 4-for-26 (.153) at the plate over his last seven games. He's also failed to register multiple hits in any game over that stretch. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:42 am
