  • Michael Lorenzen allows five runs in loss to Reds
    Michael Lorenzen allowed five runs with three strikeouts over six innings in a loss against the Reds on Saturday.

    Advice: Lorenzen opened with a clean first inning, but ran into some trouble in the second. He hit the leadoff man, then issued a walk before two hits and a sacrifice fly brought in two runs for the Reds. Cincinnati added a run with a pair of hits in the fourth. A two-run homer by Jonathan India in the seventh would knock Lorenzen from the game at 100 pitches. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
  • Notches eighth save
    Phillips gave up an unearned run on one hit and struck out two Saturday to record his eighth save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The closer's own throwing error with two outs put Davis Schneider aboard and led to Toronto's final run, but Phillips otherwise had little trouble sealing the victory. The right-hander is a perfect 8-for-8 in converting save chances to begin the season, and he's delivered a dazzling 0.77 ERA and 15:4 K:BB through 11.2 innings. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
  • Cole Irvin tosses seven shutout frames in win
    Cole Irvin tossed seven shutout innings with five strikeouts in a win over the Athletics on Saturday.

    Advice: Irvin was outstanding against his former team, tossing seven shutout frames. He threw 63-of-89 pitches for strikes with no walks while striking out five. Irvin scattered four hits and did not allow an Oakland hitter to reach scoring position. The 30-year-old left-hander will take a 3.49 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and an 18/7 K/BB ratio across 28 1/3 innings into a start against the Yankees in Baltimore on Thursday. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago

  • JP Sears surrenders seven runs in loss to Orioles
    JP Sears allowed seven runs with eight strikeouts across 6 1/3 innings in a loss against the Orioles on Saturday.

    Advice: Sears was off to a great start, firing three perfect frames until the Orioles got to him in the fourth, bringing three runs in to score on five hits. Adley Rutchman and Ryan Mountcastle added two more in the fifth, going back-to-back with solo homers. Sears stuck in there to pitch into the seventh, giving up a two-run homer to Gunnar Henderson that would end his day. The 28-year-old right-hander will take a 4.64 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and a 24/11 K/BB ratio across 33 innings into a start against the Marlins in Oakland on Friday. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago

  • Evan Phillips notches eighth save on Saturday
    Evan Phillips allowed one run with two strikeouts in the ninth inning against the Blue Jays on Saturday to earn the save.

    Advice: Phillips was summoned with a three-run lead in the ninth against Toronto. He quickly struck out the first two batters, but put a runner on with a throwing error. A base hit would bring in a run to make it a two-run game, but Phillips would hold on to record the final out and his eighth save of the season. Rotoworld Today, 3:03 pm
  • Tyler Glasnow fans nine in win over Blue Jays
    Tyler Glasnow allowed one run with nine strikeouts over six innings in a win over the Blue Jays on Saturday.

    Advice: Glasnow was outstanding against the Blue Jays. He had allowed just one hit and two walks before starting the seventh inning with a walk and double that put the first run on the board for Toronto. At 95 pitches, Glasnow was visited by manager Dave Roberts and a trainer before coming out of the game. The official word from the team was he was dealing with some cramping. It doesn’t seem like something that should keep him from making his next start, currently scheduled to come next weekend against the Braves in Los Angeles. Rotoworld Today, 3:02 pm

  • Yusei Kikuchi gives up four runs in loss to Dodgers
    Yusei Kikuchi allowed four runs with three strikeouts over six innings in a loss against the Dodgers on Saturday.

    Advice: Kikuchi gave up too much contact that found open field against the Dodgers. He allowed a leadoff triple to Mookie Betts to start the game, who then scored on a sacrifice fly. Four base hits in the second inning would bring in two more runs for Los Angeles. Kikuchi worked around a base hit in the third, then gave up a fourth run on two hits in the fourth. He finished strong with pair of clean innings in the fifth and sixth, striking out three on the day. The 32-year-old left-hander will take a 2.94 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, and a 36/8 K/BB ratio across 33 2/3 innings into a road start against the Nationals on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 2:59 pm
  • MRI comes back clean
    Imaging on Cobb's right shoulder came back negative Saturday, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Cobb was pulled off his throwing progression a few days ago after experiencing soreness in his shoulder, but he doesn't appear to be dealing with any structural damage. The 36-year-old veteran was moved to the 60-day IL last Saturday as he continues to work his way back from an offseason hip procedure, and he's also battled elbow problems during his rehab process. He will be eligible to return beginning May 27, though it's unclear whether or not he will be ready to go by then. Rotowire.com Today, 2:48 pm

  • Exits with cramps
    Glasnow was removed from his start Saturday against the Blue Jays due to cramping in his right hand, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.

    Advice: Glasnow didn't appear to be in significant pain when he was removed during the seventh inning of Saturday's contest, so his removal was likely precautionary. The Dodgers will monitor his situation, but it doesn't seem like the 30-year-old righty is at risk of missing his next start. Glasnow picked up his fifth win of the season Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over six-plus innings while striking out nine. Rotowire.com Today, 2:39 pm
