    • Nursing bruised hip
      Olson has been diagnosed with a bruised right hip after being struck by a comebacker during Monday's start against Kansas City.

      Advice: Olson appears to have escaped with a minor injury, though the team will closely monitor him over the next few days. His next start tentatively lines up for Saturday against the Blue Jays, and the club should have clarity on his upcoming availability later in the week. Rotowire.com Today, 6:12 pm
       
    • Ben Lively strikes out seven to defeat Mets
      Ben Lively allowed one run over 5 2/3 innings on Monday in a win over the Mets.

      Advice: Lively’s unexpected hot start continued in this one as he allowed three earned runs or fewer for the seventh consecutive start since making his season debut back on April 17. He matched a season-high with seven strikeouts and didn’t hand out a free pass. A third-inning solo shot by light-hitting backstop Tomás Nido represented the lone tally against him in this one. He’ll bring a strong 2.84 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 38/12 K/BB ratio across 38 innings (seven starts) into a favorable road matchup on Sunday against the Angels. Rotoworld Today, 6:02 pm

    • Tylor Megill fans seven in loss to Guardians
      Tylor Megill was charged with three runs (two earned) over five innings on Monday in a loss to the Guardians.

      Advice: Megill notched seven strikeouts and only issued a pair of walks. The 28-year-old righty got into trouble right away in his return from the injured list following a seven-week absence, coughing up a two-run single to David Fry in the opening frame. He managed to settle in afterwards, limiting Cleveland to just one run over his final four innings of work. He induced 13 swinging strikes and finished with a pedestrian 26 percent CSW. He’ll face the Dodgers on Monday at Citi Field in his next outing. Rotoworld Today, 6:02 pm
       
    • Reese Olson exits after taking liner to hip
      Reese Olson left Monday’s game in the third inning after taking a liner off his hip.

      Advice: Beau Breiske replaced him versus the Royals. Olson gave up two runs — one earned — and five hits in 2 2/3 innings, putting him in line for the loss. If he needs to skip his next start, the Tigers could slot Kenta Maeda into his spot. Rotoworld Today, 6:01 pm
       
    • Vasquez posts quality start Monday
      Randy Vasquez allowed three runs in six innings and took the loss against the Braves on Monday.



      Advice: Vasquez, who was acquired from the Yankees in the Juan Soto trade, really battled in this start. Despite allowing 10 hits and having an elevated pitch count in the early innings, he still managed to put up a quality start in a tough matchup against Atlanta on the road. This was also the longest start of Vasquez’ career. He lowered his ERA to 5.82 in five starts this year, though his xFIP is much lower at 4.45. It’s something for Vasquez to potentially build on even though he’s not usable in fantasy at the moment. The 25-year-old right-hander is scheduled to face the Yankees at home on Saturday.

    • Designated for assignment
      Salazar was designated for assignment by the Dodgers on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Salazar was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday and he'll now be placed on waivers after being dropped from the Dodgers' 40-man roster. If he goes unclaimed, he'll likely remain with Oklahoma City. The Dodgers acquired reliever Yohan Ramirez via trade from the Mets on Monday and he'll replace Salazar on the 40-man roster and join Los Angeles ahead of their three-game series with the Diamondbacks.

    • Demoted to Triple-A
      Knack was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City on Monday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Knack filled in admirably Sunday in a spot start against the Reds, surrendering one run on three hits and one walk while fanning five over 4.2 innings. He'll be moved back to the minors to make room for Yohan Ramirez, who was acquired in a trade from the Mets earlier in the day. Rotowire.com Today, 5:42 pm
       
    • Leaves start early
      Olson exited Monday's start against the Royals after being struck by a line drive in his right hip, Chris McCosky of The Detroit News reports. He surrendered two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out two over 2.2 innings before departing.

      Advice: Olson was forced to leave the game after being hit by a comebacker that registered at 102 mph off the bat, though he did attempt to fire a few warmup pitches before the training staff walked him off the field, per Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Beau Brieske entered the game to replace Olson in the bottom of the third inning. Rotowire.com Today, 5:32 pm
       
    • Sent to Triple-A
      Mastrobuoni was optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Monday, per MLB's transaction log.

      Advice: Mastrobuoni went 0-for-10 at the dish over his last three games, and he'll be demoted to the minors now that Dansby Swanson (knee) is ready to be activated from the 10-day IL and Luiz Vasquez is ready to get a shot with the big-league club. Mastrobuoni will likely be seen again in the majors this season considering his versatility. Rotowire.com Today, 5:12 pm
