    • Kyle Finnegan nets 13th save on Tuesday
      Kyle Finnegan tossed a scoreless ninth inning on Tuesday against the White Sox to collect his 13th save of the season.

      Advice: Finnegan’s streak of 11 consecutive hitless innings came to a close when he gave up a one-out single to Andrew Benintendi. Yet, he managed to scatter a pair of hits in the frame, thanks to a couple ground outs and a strikeout of Nicky Lopez to end the contest, preserving a three-run lead in the opening contest of Tuesday’s doubleheader. He’s converted 13 of 14 save chances this season to go along with a 1.56 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 17/8 K/BB ratio across 17 1/3 innings (18 appearances). He’s been one of the best closers in baseball for fantasy purposes so far. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
    • Chris Flexen gives up three runs in no-decision
      Chris Flexen allowed three runs over 4 2/3 innings on Tuesday in a no-decision against the Nationals.

      Advice: Flexen was staked to an early lead, and carried a shutout into the fifth inning, before the Nationals struck for three runs and chased him from the contest in the process. He struck out five and only issued one walk. The 29-year-old righty will bring a 4.46 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 30/14 K/BB ratio across 40 1/3 innings (nine appearances, seven starts) into a tough road tilt on Sunday against the Yankees.
