  • MJ Melendez singles in Royals’ loss to Twins
    MJ Melendez went 1-for-3 with a single on Monday in the Royals’ loss to the Twins.

    Advice: It’s been a struggle this season at the dish for Melendez as he’s batting just .179 (27-for-151) with four homers and two steals through 47 games. Perhaps the biggest concern here is that he hasn’t connected for a home run since back on April 19. Rotoworld Monday, 1:41 pm
     
  • Pops 11th homer Sunday
    Langeliers went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a loss to the Astros on Sunday.

    Advice: Langeliers got to closer Josh Hader in the ninth, slugging a 411-foot shot to center for the Athletics' second and final run of the day. The blast was Langeliers' 11th of the season, and with 20 of his 34 hits now having gone for extra bases, the backstop boasts a .491 slugging percentage that helps make up for his paltry .214 average and .281 on-base percentage.

  • Converts 17th save
    Clase allowed a hit in a scoreless inning and earned a save over the Angels on Sunday.

    Advice: Clase worked around a two-out single to close out the 5-4 victory and pick up his 17th save of the year. He's gone 20.1 straight innings without allowing an earned run and he's converted 13 of his last 14 save chances. Clase's ERA is down to a ridiculous 0.33 with a 26:2 K:BB through 27.1 frames.

  • Working way out of slump
    Bregman went 2-for-4 with a walk Sunday against the Athletics.

    Advice: Bregman has slumped for significant periods of the season and Sunday's performance was his first multi-hit game in his last eight starts. He's been unlucky to the tune of a .217 BABIP across 216 plate appearances on the campaign, though Bregman's struggles to make consistent quality contact make him susceptible to these results.

  • Picks up ninth save
    Jansen pitched a flawless ninth inning and picked up the save Sunday against Milwaukee. He struck out two.

    Advice: Jansen notched his ninth save of the season, preserving a 2-1 Boston lead in the ninth inning. The right-hander continues to have a firm grip on the Boston closer role, as no other Boston reliever has registered more than two saves this season. The 36-year-old veteran is now 9-for-10 in save chances this season with a 3.06 ERA. Rotowire.com Sunday, 5:53 pm
     
  • Kenley Jansen perfect in earning ninth save
    Kenley Jansen pitched a perfect ninth, striking out two, for a save Sunday against the Brewers.

    Advice: Jansen’s save was his ninth in 10 chances. He’ll be a trade candidate this summer and there’s the chance he’ll go to a team that won’t employ him as a closer, but he’s a top-15 reliever for now. Rotoworld Sunday, 5:18 pm
     
  • Clase slams the door for 17th save
    Emmanuel Clase pitched a scoreless ninth inning to close out a 5-4 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Clase allowed a two-out single but no other damage as he earned his 17th save of the season. The right-hander now has a 0.33 ERA and has been far-and-away the best closer in baseball so far in 2024. Rotoworld Sunday, 4:57 pm
