    • Trevor Richards strikes out four in short outing
      Trevor Richards pitched two scoreless innings while striking out four in Tuesday’s loss to the Orioles.

      Advice: Richards made his first start of the season after making his first 25 appearances out of the bullpen. Operating as more of an “opener” than a starter in this one, his 40 pitches and four strikeouts were both new highs for him on the young season. Richards needed 12 pitches to retire Ryan Mountcastle in the first innings, which significantly drove up his pitch count on the day, but he was flawless through his two innings of work. It seems unlikely that he would make another spot start, but if he does, it could come on Sunday against the Athletics. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
       
    • Jack Suwinski homers in win over Dodgers
      Jack Suwinski hit a solo home run in a win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

      Advice: Suwinski was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis earlier in the day and responded with the only run of the game when he blasted a 375-foot home run off Tyler Glasnow in his first at-bat. He also struck out in his other two at-bats, and that’s a perfect encapsulation of Suwinski as a hitter. The 25-year-old had struggled to a .174/.268/.297 slash line before being demoted and was attempting to change his approach by being more aggressive in the zone to combat his high called-strike rate from 2023. There is clear fantasy upside here if Suwinski can make contact more consistently. Rotoworld 29 minutes ago
       
    • Starting Wednesday
      Sandlin will start Wednesday's game against the Royals, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Logan Allen had been in line to start Wednesday's contest, but the Guardians will instead make him available out of the bullpen while Sandlin handles the first inning or two. The 27-year-old right-hander owns a 2.77 ERA and 0.77 WHIP through 26 innings on the season and will be making the first start of his professional career Wednesday.

    • David Peterson holds Nationals to two runs in win
      David Peterson pitched 6 2/3 innings of two-run ball for the victory as the Mets topped the Nationals 6-3 on Tuesday.

      Advice: Peterson has been known to walk a few, but the Nationals decided to be particularly aggressive at the plate tonight, allowing the left-hander to get 20 outs on just 81 pitches. All five hits he gave up were singles, and the second run he allowed was the product of a Joey Gallo grounder hitting first base and bouncing a mile into the air. Pete Alonso would have made the play otherwise, and Peterson probably would have gotten through seven having surrendered just one run. Peterson has a 3.09 ERA in two starts since coming off the IL. We wouldn’t totally trust him as a mixed-league starter, but he’s not a bad play with the Marlins on the docket next week. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago
       
    • DJ Herz takes loss to Mets in major league debut
      DJ Herz yielded four runs in four-plus innings to take a loss to the Mets in his major league debut Tuesday.

      Advice: Herz got through three innings scoreless, but control became a problem in the fourth, and after he threw a couple of pitches to the backstop, the Mets started teeing off on him. The hope was that Herz would remain in the rotation until Trevor Williams returns, but the short outing might mean that the Nationals will send him down for a fresh arm. Rotoworld 39 minutes ago

    • Keibert Ruiz goes 0-for-4 against Mets
      Keibert Ruiz went 0-for-4 in the loss to the Mets on Tuesday.

      Advice: We wonder how Riley Adams feels about being back in Triple-A while performing better than Ruiz both offensively and defensively these last two seasons. The 0-for tonight leaves Ruiz at .199/.239/.288 for 2024. He has to be better than this offensively, but the Nationals seem to be at a complete loss for ideas to improve his defense.

    • Spencer Arrighetti gets quick hook Tuesday vs. Cards
      Spencer Arrighetti left Tuesday’s start against the Cardinals after allowing one run over three innings.

      Advice: The hits keep on coming for Houston. On the heels of his strongest outing of the season, Arrighetti was lifted to open the fourth inning after throwing just 64 pitches a couple frames after being struck in the left leg by a 103-mph line-drive. There should be an update on the 24-year-old’s status soon. It’s possible his early exit was merely for precautionary reasons, but he’ll presumably undergo some additional testing to rule out anything serious. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
       
    • Exits after HBP
      Murphy was removed from Tuesday's game against the Red Sox after getting hit in the elbow by a pitch, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Murphy took a 92-mph fastball off the inner part of his right elbow, which had already exhibited significant swelling by the time he reached first base. Atlanta will take him into the clubhouse for a closer look and should have more information on his status in the near future, but it's possible the 29-year-old backstop sits out until the swelling goes down.

    • Sean Murphy leaves game following hit by pitch
      Sean Murphy left Tuesday’s game against the Red Sox after being hit by a pitch.

      Advice: Murphy appeared to get hit in the elbow area by a ninth-inning offering from Red Sox reliever Chase Anderson and was immediately lifted for a pinch runner. There should be an update on his status shortly after this one goes final at Fenway Park. Rotoworld 50 minutes ago
