    • Zac Gallen strikes out 10 in loss to Tigers
      Zac Gallen pitched well in a losing effort against the Tigers on Saturday night, racking up 10 strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings of three-run baseball.

      Advice: The 28-year-old right-hander scattered seven hits on the night and didn’t allow a base on balls. He had kept the Tigers off the board completely through the first six innings, but the wheels fell off in the seventh. After allowing a leadoff double to Gio Urshela, he struck out the next two hitters before allowing an RBI double to Javier Báez and an RBI single to Carson Kelly before turning the ball over to the bullpen — who would allow the inherited runner to score as well. Gallen generated a whopping 20 swings and misses in the ballgame — 12 of those on his knuckle curve — while posting an elite CSW of 40 percent. He’ll bring a 3.02 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 55/14 K/BB ratio (50 2/3 innings) into Friday’s showdown against the Marlins. Rotoworld Today, 8:04 pm

    • José Ureña gives up one run against Angels
      José Ureña went six innings while allowing just a run against the Angels on Saturday.

      Advice: Ureña has more than held his own as a starter thus far for the Rangers, and while he hasn’t exactly faced the cream of the crop, he’s yet to allow more than two runs in his three starts. The right-hander walked one, struck out three and allowed just four hits, but didn’t qualify for a decision with Patrick Sandoval equaling his one-run effort. He does have a tough scheduled matchup for Thursday, however, against the Phillies. Rotoworld Today, 8:01 pm

    • Patrick Sandoval goes six strong against Rangers
      Patrick Sandoval allowed just a run over six innings while not factoring into the decision Saturday against the Rangers.

      Advice: Sandoval did walk three and threw just 56-of-99 pitches for strikes, but he also allowed only three hits while picking up five strikeouts. It’s the second time in three starts that the southpaw has allowed no more than a run, and it’s helped lower what was a 6.75 ERA on April 20 to 4.85. He’ll have a chance to lower it again Friday against Cleveland. Rotoworld Today, 8:01 pm
    • 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 in setting 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 Today, 7:23 pm
    • Dazzles in return from injured list
      Rodriguez didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Mariners, yielding just one hit and three walks over six shutout innings. He recorded seven strikeouts.

      Advice: Rodriguez missed a little more than two weeks with right shoulder inflammation and made his return Saturday without going out on a rehab assignment first. He certainly showed that he didn't need one, as didn't give up his first and only hit on the night until there was one out in the sixth inning (and even that was just an infield single). Rodriguez was limited to just 82 pitches in his first start back, but he still managed to complete six frames because he was so efficient. The righty displayed his normal velocity and induced 13 swinging strikes on his 82 pitches. Rodriguez missed out on a win after the Orioles' bullpen struggled, but he looked as good as his fantasy managers could have hoped for. Rotowire.com Today, 7:16 pm
    • Mikolas allows one over five in start vs. Red Sox
      Miles Mikolas only allowed one run over five innings against the Red Sox on Saturday, but he didn’t factor into the decision.

      Advice: Mikolas allowed just two hits in the start, with one of those being a homer to Rafael Devers. The right-hander also walked one and struck out four in one of his best outings of the 2024 campaign. That’s a bit of faint praise considering he came into this start with a 6.19 ERA, but, it is what it is. The Cubs are next for Mikolas. Rotoworld Today, 7:08 pm
    • Kutter Crawford allows one run in no-decision
      Kutter Crawford only allowed one run over 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Cardinals on Saturday.

      Advice: Crawford pitched well, but so did his pitching counterpart Miles Mikolas, so there’s no W for the 28-year-old. Crawford bounced back nicely from a shaky start against the Ray on Monday, and in the process he lowers his ERA to a strong 2.17. There was reason to believe Crawford could help fantasy rosters, but no one could have seen this coming. Rotoworld Today, 7:08 pm
    • McArthur picks up 11th save Saturday
      James McArthur allowed two hits, struck out two and picked up his 11th save against the Athletics on Saturday.

      Advice: McArthur allowed back-to-back singles to start the ninth inning before getting Abraham Toro to line out and striking out JJ Bleday. He then struck out Brent Rooker with the game on the line. McArthur’s ERA is 4.35, but he continues to rack up the saves for Royals and fantasy managers. Rotoworld Today, 6:56 pm
    • Mixed bag in no-decision
      Castillo did not factor into the decision Saturday in Baltimore, permitting two runs on four hits and four walks over six innings. He struck out two.

      Advice: The four walks were a season high and the two strikeouts were by far a season low for Castillo. He still managed a seven straight quality start, though, keeping his team in it before the Mariners' offense rallied late. It's the first no-decision of the season for Castillo, who is just 4-5 in spite of a 3.28 ERA, including a 2.01 mark across his last seven outings. Rotowire.com Today, 6:55 pm
