    • Belts big long ball
      Goodman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Thursday in a 10-9 victory versus San Diego.

      Advice: Goodman's eighth-inning, three-run blast was enormous not only in terms of distance (it traveled an estimated 448 feet) but also in terms of impact, as it brought the Rockies to within two runs in what was to become a successful late comeback. The homer was Goodman's first hit in six at-bats since being promoted from Triple-A on Wednesday. The 2021 fourth-round draft pick had seven long balls through 91 plate appearances in the minors prior to the call-up and knocked 34 home runs over 106 minor-league contests last year, so his potential for big-league power is intriguing, especially given his home field.

    • Clubs first homer of 2024
      France went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: Although France boasts a quality .266 batting average through 22 games, he's been a non-factor in the power department, waiting until his 84th plate appearance to notch his first home run of the campaign. The long ball came in the first inning off Andrew Heaney and plated Julio Rodriguez. His ISO has dropped from .116 to .088 while his strikeout rate sits at 21.8 percent after posting a K-rate lower than 18 percent in three straight seasons. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

    • Can't escape third inning Thursday
      Vasquez allowed four runs on six hits and two walks while striking out two batters over 2.2 innings in a no-decision against Colorado on Thursday.

      Advice: Vasquez got another start with Yu Darvish (neck) on the injured list, though he didn't fare well in the Colorado altitude. The Padres staked him to an early 4-1 lead, but the right-hander allowed the Rockies to pull even in the third and was lifted after retiring only two batters in the frame. Vasquez was much better in his first start of the campaign against the Blue Jays on April 20, and Coors Field has a history of demolishing pitcher stat lines, so the right-hander may still get another turn in the rotation if Darvish isn't ready to return when first eligible.

    • Perfect for save No. 3
      Munoz pitched a perfect ninth inning against the Rangers to earn a save.

      Advice: Munoz picked up his first save since April 6, making quick work of Wyatt Langford, Travis Jankowski and Jonah Heim to close out the Mariners' win. He's now 3-for-4 in save chances this season and Thursday's outing could give him more leeway with Ryne Stanek breathing down his back for save chances. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
    • Goes six innings in loss
      Heaney (0-3) took the loss Thursday, allowing four runs on five hits and no walks over six innings against the Mariners. He struck out seven.

      Advice: Although Heaney only gave up five hits, three went for extra bases, including two-run home runs to Luis Urias and Ty France. Heaney's now surrendered multiple long balls in back-to-back starts. While Thursday's start marked Heaney's first time pitching into the sixth, he's allowed multiple runs in all but one outing this year. He's tentatively scheduled for a matchup with the Nationals on Wednesday. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

    • Collects save No. 2
      Lawrence earned a save against the Padres on Thursday, striking out one batter in a perfect inning of work.

      Advice: Lawrence notched his first save of the season Tuesday in his ninth appearance of the campaign, and it didn't take him long to build upon that with another save two days later. After giving up five runs (four earned) in his second outing of the season April 5, the right-hander has yielded just two earned runs over eight outings covering 8.1 frames since. Given that he's logged back-to-back saves for Colorado and has two of the three saves overall on the campaign for the club, Lawrence appears to be strengthening his hold on the team's primary closer role.

    • Another strong start
      Castill0 (2-4) picked up the win Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over six innings against the Rangers. He struck out six.

      Advice: Castillo had issues keeping the ball inside the park Thursday, allowing solo home runs to Nathaniel Lowe and Josh Smith in the first and fourth innings, respectively. He's now allowed a long ball in four of his six starts this season but has churned out three straight quality starts. During that stretch, Castillo owns a 1.89 ERA and a 24:3 K:BB across 19.0 innings. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
    • Roughed up but avoids loss
      Hudson pitched 3.1 innings, allowing six runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four batters in a no-decision against San Diego on Thursday.

      Advice: Three of the six hits Hudson gave up went for extra-bases, including a two-run homer by Ha-Seong Kim in the third inning. The right-handed hurler didn't help his cause in issuing four free passes, and he's had control issues of late with 12 walks over his past 13.1 frames. Despite the messy stat line, Hudson managed to avoid taking the loss in a game he started for the first time this season as a result of a late Rockies rally. However, Hudson's season ERA now sits at 6.57, making him an undesirable arm in almost all fantasy formats. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago

    • Scoreless streak continues
      Stewart allowed one hit and one walk while striking out two over a scoreless inning in Thursday's 6-3 victory over the White Sox.

      Advice: Stewart has thrown 11.1 scoreless innings to begin the season with a 15:6 K:BB ratio. He hasn't finished any games or had any save chances with Jhoan Duran injured as he's been used primarily in the eighth inning. However, he's amassed six holds. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
