  • Crochet throws six scoreless innings vs. Blue Jays
    Garrett Crochet pitched six scoreless innings while striking out four in the White Sox’ win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: You couldn’t have asked for a much better outing out of Crochet. While it wasn’t a dominating performance, the lefty held the Blue Jays’ lineup to just two hits, while walking only one batter. Crochet continues to be one of the few bright spots for the White Sox, as he’s now won five games on the season and is sporting an era of 3.75. Crochet will look to earn his sixth win in his next start, which is scheduled for Sunday against the Orioles. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:31 pm
  • Zack Littell strikes out seven in loss to Red Sox
    Zack Littell allowed two earned runs over 5 2/3 innings in Tuesday’s loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Littell was pulled with two outs in the sixth inning, which came after a solo homer by Jarren Durran. The veteran righty was solid for much of the afternoon, allowing just three hits and one walk while striking out seven batters. Littell wasn’t in line for the win after leaving with the game tied but he will have a chance to earn his third win of the season in his next start on Tuesday against the Athletics.

  • Criswell allows two earned runs in win over Rays
    Cooper Criswell allowed two earned runs over 5 1/3 innings in the Red Sox win over the Rays.

    Advice: Criswell was solid in this one, and as now allowed three earned runs or less in each of his eight starts this season. Criswell ran into trouble in the first inning when he allowed three hits to his first four batters faced, with the third hit being a two-RBI single from Isaac Paredes. It was the only two runs Criswell would allow, as he was able to settle and allowed just two hits the rest of the way. Criswell will make his next start on Monday against the Orioles.

  • Allows run but converts save
    Estevez allowed a run on two hits and a walk without striking out a batter over one inning, earning the save in Monday's 9-7 win over the Astros.

    Advice: Estevez's last two outings came in non-save situations after he blew a save May 10 versus the Royals. The closer is now 7-for-10 in save chances this season, though there are some warning signs reemerging after he struggled late in 2023. He's now at a 5.17 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 17:2 K:BB through 15.2 innings this season. As long as the walk rate stays down, Estevez should be able to right the ship, but he's allowed multiple baserunners in six of his last 10 outings. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:19 pm
  • Carlos Estévez records save after allowing run
    Carlos Estévez picked up his seventh save despite giving up a run in the ninth Monday against the Astros.

    Advice: Estévez gave up two hits and a walk after the outstanding fortune of Jo Adell denying Yainer Diaz a possible homer or at least a double to begin the inning. Estévez is sporting a 5.17 ERA through 15 2/3 innings this season, and he’s lucky that neither Robert Stephenson (out for the season) or José Soriano (in the rotation) is currently an alternative in the closer’s role for the Angels.

  • Notches ninth save
    Munoz allowed a hit in a scoreless inning against the Yankees on Monday. He struck out two and earned a save.

    Advice: Munoz worked around a one-out single by Juan Soto to finish off the 5-4 victory. Since blowing a save in Colorado on April 21, Munoz has converted his last seven chances, allowing just one run over 13 innings during that span. His ERA is down to 1.77 with a 28:7 K:BB through 20.1 frames. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:16 pm
  • Yankees bring up Clayton Andrews from AAA
    Yankees selected the contract of LHP Clayton Andrews from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Advice: Andrews has allowed 11 runs on eight hits in 15 innings while striking out 18 but walking 12. The Yankees put him on waivers in April but he went unclaimed. He was promoted after Ian Hamilton was placed on the COVID-19 IL. Rotoworld Monday, 12:23 pm
  • Back in big leagues
    The Yankees selected Andrews' contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

    Advice: Andrews was scrubbed from the Yankees' 40-man roster last month but has worked his way back onto it and is back in the majors after holding a 3.97 ERA and 16:6 K:BB over his last 11.1 innings with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He'll operate in low-leverage spots. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:47 am
  • Nails down save No. 8
    Munoz allowed a run but hung on to notch his eighth save of the season in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Orioles.

    Advice: Gunnar Henderson made things interesting with a two-out, solo home run, but Munoz quickly bounced back and sat down Adley Rutschman swinging to end it. Henderson's long ball represents the only run Munoz has allowed over his last 10 appearances, and he boasts a 15:1 K:BB over 12 innings during that span. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:23 pm
