    • Better against Yankees
      Gausman did not factor into the decision Wednesday against the Yankees, allowing a run on four hits and three walks over five innings. He struck out six.

      Advice: It was certainly a step in the right direction for Gausman, who'd allowed 11 runs over just four innings in his previous two outings. The right-hander held New York scoreless until Juan Soto's two-out RBI double in the fifth inning. Overall, Gausman is 0-2 on the year with a still-rough 8.16 ERA, 1.74 WHIP and 16:5 K:BB across four starts (14.1 innings). He'll look to build on Wednesday's effort in his next outing, currently scheduled for early next week in Kansas City. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
    • Two hits, homer
      Wong went 2-for-3 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Guardians.

      Advice: Wong clubbed a home run for a second-consecutive contest, bringing his season total to three -- each of which came in the past five games. He's also notched multiple hits in three consecutive contests and is slugging .676 with a 1.048 OPS in 35 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
    • Outdueled in 2024 debut
      Lively (0-1) took the loss Wednesday, allowing two runs on three hits and one walk with seven strikeouts over five innings against Boston.

      Advice: Although Lively was excellent in his first start of the campaign, he wasn't as good as Tanner Houck -- who pitched a complete-game shutout -- and was stuck with the loss. Lively ran into a bit of trouble in the third and fourth innings, bringing in Pablo Reyes on a balk in the third before surrendering a solo homer to Connor Wong in the fourth. With Gavin Williams (elbow) set to miss at least one more trip around the rotation, Lively should receive some opportunities to build on Wednesday's performance. His first chance to do so is set to come Tuesday in a rematch with the Red Sox. Rotowire.com 26 minutes ago

    • Twirls complete-game shutout
      Houck (3-1) earned the win Wednesday, allowing three hits and no walks with nine strikeouts over nine scoreless innings against Cleveland.

      Advice: Houck was absurdly efficient in his first-career complete-game shutout, needing just 94 pitches (69 strikes) to finish nine frames. He hasn't allowed a run in three of his four starts this season and has punched out seven or more in all but one start. He boasts a 1.35 ERA with a 28:2 K:BB over 26.2 innings in 2024, a massive jump from his 5.01 ERA from a season ago. Houck is tentatively scheduled for a rematch with the Guardians on Tuesday.

    • Breaks out of slump
      Tovar went 3-for-5 with two runs batted in and a run scored during Wednesday's loss to the Phillies.

      Advice: Tovar entered the game 1-for-14 (.071) over his last four games but snapped the cold spell with his seventh multi-hit performance of the campaign. While he's striking out at an alarming 31.3 percent clip, Tovar ranks top-three on the Rockies in hits (22), RBI (10) and runs scored (nine) while slashing .306/.363/.486. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
    • Out for season
      Stephenson will miss the entire 2024 season due to an elbow injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports,

      Advice: The Angels will announce more details regarding Stephenson's injury Thursday, but his elbow issue is apparently significant enough to rule him out for the remainder of the year. The 31-year-old righty had been on a rehab assignment at Triple-A Salt Lake but was removed from his appearance Saturday after facing just one batter. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago
    • Robert Stephenson (elbow) to miss full 2024 season
      The Angels announced on Wednesday that right-hander Robert Stephenson will miss the entire 2024 season due to an elbow injury.

      Advice: Well that was unexpected. Stephenson had been rehabbing a shoulder injury but was pulled from his latest outing on Saturday after facing just one hitter. The Angels will have another announcement on Thursday where they’ll provide further detail and a potential timeline for Stephenson’s return. The job security for incumbent closer Carlos Estevez looks a bit stronger based on this development. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago
    • Continues hot streak
      Turner went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and an additional run scored during Wednesday's 7-6 win over Colorado.

      Advice: Turner went back-to-back with Kyle Schwarber in the first inning for solo home runs off Ryan Feltner, marking the shortstop's second long ball of 2024. He's been on a tear during the Phillies last two series, going 12-for-29 (.413) at the plate with six extra-base hits and seven runs scored over seven games. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago

    • Clubs pair of homers
      Schwarber went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a solo home run during Wednesday's 7-6 win over the Rockies.

      Advice: Schwarber notched his first multi-HR game of the season -- a feat he accomplished thrice in the 2023 regular season -- with the solo homer coming off Ryan Feltner in the first inning and the two-run shot coming at the expense of Peter Lambert in the sixth. The outing came off the back of three straight games without a hit (0-for-11), pushing Schwarber out of the mini-slump. Rotowire.com 57 minutes ago
