  • Joe Ryan strikes out eight in win against Astros
    Joe Ryan allowed three runs with eight strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings in a win over the Astros on Saturday.

    Advice: Ryan pitched two clean frames before a pair of doubles brought a run in to score for Houston in the third. Jon Singleton then hit a two-run homer in the fourth. Ryan worked into the sixth before leaving with the bases loaded and two outs. He struck out eight on the day. The 28-year-old right-hander will take a 3.29 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and a 118/16 K/BB ratio across 109 1/3 innings into a start against the Giants in San Francisco on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 1:52 pm
     
  • Resting versus lefty
    Lowe isn't in the Rays' lineup for Saturday's game versus the Rangers, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: After going 1-for-4 with a walk during Friday's series opener, Lowe will retreat to the dugout to begin Saturday's game as left-hander Andrew Heaney starts on the bump for Texas. Amed Rosario will fill the vacancy in the lineup, batting third while serving as the DH. Rotowire.com Today, 11:04 am
     
  • Unlikely to play in All-Star Game
    Padres manager Mike Shildt said Friday that Tatis (quadriceps) isn't likely to be able to play in the All-Star Game, Bernie Wilson of the Associated Press reports.

    Advice: Tatis was voted into the Midsummer Classic as a starter in the outfield alongside teammate Jurickson Profar, but it appears the former will need to sit out the contest. This isn't a surprising development, as Tatis had previously indicated that he could remain on the injured list until after the All-Star break. Tatis' election to the All-Star Game came as a result of a strong first half of the campaign during which he's slashed .279/.354/.468 with 14 homers, 36 RBI, 50 runs and eight stolen bases over 80 contests.

  • Gleyber Torres out Saturday with groin injury
    Gleyber Torres (groin) is absent from the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Torres could be available off the bench on Saturday afternoon following an early exit from Friday’s game against the Red Sox due to right groin tightness after legging out a fourth-inning infield single. The 27-year-old infielder has been playing through a lingering minor groin issue for the last few weeks. It’ll be Oswaldo Cabrera at the keystone in his absence. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 7:15 am

  • Sitting Saturday
    Torres (groin) isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Torres made an early exit from Friday's game due to groin tightness. Although he won't start Saturday, the Yankees are hopeful that the 27-year-old could be available off the bench, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Oswaldo Cabrera will get the nod at the keystone and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Today, 7:11 am

  • Fighting slump
    Candelario went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Friday's 5-4 loss to Detroit.

    Advice: The steal was the fourth of the season for Candelario, who swiped a career-high eight bags in 2023. The corner infielder/designated hitter, who reversed a season-opening slump in June, is back on the skids. Candelario is 3-for-28 with a 30-percent strikeout rate over the last seven games.

  • Makes seventh straight start
    Suarez started at third base and went 1-for-3 in Friday's 10-8 loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Suarez, whose job was in jeopardy three weeks ago, has resumed his role as the team's everyday third baseman since the Diamondbacks sent Blaze Alexander back to Triple-A Reno. Suarez has started seven consecutive games and is 7-for-22 (.318) over that time, raising his season average above .200. Rotowire.com Today, 5:45 am
     
  • Shane Baz takes loss to Rangers in 2024 debut
    Shane Baz took a loss after allowing three runs in six innings Friday against the Rangers in his 2024 debut.

    Advice: Baz allowed four singles and one double in the third, resulting in all three runs. He gave up just two additional hits and wound up with six strikeouts and one walk in the quality start. Unfortunately, quality starts aren’t enough for Rays pitchers this season, as the offense has proven incapable of scoring consistently. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:22 pm
     
  • Secures 14th save
    Munoz pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Friday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: This was Munoz's first save since June 18 -- he blew a save June 24, which was his only opportunity over his last five appearances. The right-hander has seen the most high-leverage spots rather than being strictly confined to the ninth inning. He faced the 9-1-2 hitters Friday to earn his 14th save in 16 chances this year. Munoz has added a 1.54 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 43:14 K:BB across 35 innings while adding six holds. With Munoz's usage being more flexible, Ryne Stanek has forced his way into the closer conversation, though the Mariners' recent poor play hasn't led to many save chances for either reliever.
