  • Picks up first big-league win
    Klein (1-0) struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the win Sunday over the Padres.

    Advice: Klein worked the ninth inning while the Royals were down 3-1, and they rallied for a walk-off win in their half of the frame. The rookie right-hander has displayed some promise with five strikeouts over his first three innings in the majors, though he's also allowed two runs and four hits. Klein figures to operate in a low-leverage role as long as he's on the Royals' 26-man roster. He's pitched to a 1.93 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 23:14 K:BB over 23.1 innings at Triple-A Omaha this season, showing significant growth from 2023. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:31 pm
     
  • Consecutive starts behind plate
    Caratini went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Sunday against the Twins.

    Advice: Caratini drew consecutive starts behind the plate for the first time this season and has now started three of Houston's last four games. He has only two hits in that span, though both have left the yard. It's unlikely that Caratini's playing time outlook will change in the long term, though Yainer Diaz hit just .200/.213/.259 across 88 plate appearances in May. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:06 pm
     
  • Delivers game-winning hit
    Siri went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Sunday against the Orioles.

    Advice: Siri made his lone hit of the day count, as he delivered a two-RBI double in the eighth inning to account for the game-winning runs. He briefly lost playing time when Josh Lowe (oblique) was on the field, but Siri has now started eight of the Rays' last nine games and has gone 7-for-27 with seven RBI, four runs scored, two home runs and a stolen base in that span.

  • Solid after slow start
    Rogers (1-7) took the loss Sunday against Texas, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out three.

    Advice: After a three-start hiatus from the loss column, Rogers fell to his seventh loss of the season Sunday -- tied for the third most in baseball. The southpaw yielded four hits and three runs in the first inning before settling in and keeping the Rangers off the scoreboard until a sixth-inning homer by Adolis Garcia. Rogers owns a 5.68 ERA with a 47:27 K:BB across 57.0 innings this season. He's tentatively scheduled for a Saturday start against the Guardians. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:32 pm
     
  • Another two-hit day
    Vogelbach went 2-for-4 with a two-RBI double during Sunday's 5-4 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: Vogelbach generated his second consecutive multi-hit game Sunday and logged his first game of the season driving in more than one batter. Since starting the season 4-for-37 at the dish, Vogelbach is 9-for-20 (.450) with three doubles, a solo homer and five total RBI. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:17 pm
     
  • Snaps out of slump
    Tellez went 3-for-4 with a two-RBI double and two RBI singles during Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Tellez hadn't logged an RBI since May 5 and had driven in three batters since April 4. He bested that total just on Sunday, plating all four of the Pirates' runs and reaching safely in four of his five plate appearances. Prior to Sunday's contest, Tellez had generated four hits in 40 at-bats with one walk. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:11 pm
     
  • Homers in consecutive games
    Schmitt went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 7-5 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: With Marco Luciano (hamstring) landing on the injured list Friday, Schmitt has a chance to make shortstop his own in June. This was Schmitt's second game in a row in the lineup -- he started versus right-hander Cody Poteet on Saturday and stayed in the starting nine versus southpaw Nestor Cortes on Sunday. Through eight games this season, Schmitt has two homers, five RBI and two runs scored over 30 plate appearances. Brett Wisely has also been an option at shortstop lately, and both Schmitt and Wisely offer utility upside if the Giants opt to get creative with their lineup decisions.

  • Sent back to Triple-A
    Atlanta optioned Tromp to Triple-A Gwinnett following Sunday's 3-1 win over the Athletics.

    Advice: Tromp has seen limited usage as the No. 2 catcher behind Travis d'Arnaud for much of the season. He recently dropped to third on the depth chart behind Sean Murphy and d'Arnaud and hadn't played at all since Murphy was reinstated from the injured list Monday. The 29-year-old will now head back to Gwinnett to get regular playing time, with Atlanta set to announce a replacement for him on the 26-man active roster prior to Tuesday's series opener in Boston.

  • Trevor Rogers goes six innings in loss to Rangers
    Trevor Rogers allowed four runs on six hits in six innings in a loss to the Rangers on Sunday.

    Advice: It wasn’t an awful outing for Rogers, who allowed three runs on four hits in the first inning before settling down. He threw four straight scoreless innings, allowing just one hit, before giving up a solo home run to Adolis Garcia in the sixth inning. On the day, Rogers had 12 whiffs on 44 swings for a 27 percent whiff rate and 23 percent CSW. The left-hander has a 5.68 ERA on the year but could be an interesting streamer in deeper leagues against the Guardians next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:34 pm
