    • Throwing bullpen session
      Harrison (ankle) will throw a bullpen session Friday, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Harrison resumed throwing on flat ground earlier this week and has now been cleared to try things from the bump. It's been more than two weeks since Harrison made a start, so it's likely he'll be asked to go out on a short rehab assignment once he's deemed ready. Rotowire.com Thursday, 11:17 am
       
    • Takes no-decision Monday
      Lorenzen allowed two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out five batters over five-plus innings in a no-decision against Milwaukee on Monday.

      Advice: Lorenzen fared relatively well in the outing, though he was pulled after allowing a leadoff double in the sixth inning having racked up 91 pitches. It was a relatively rare occurrence for the right-hander to get the hook that early -- coming into Monday, he had completed at least six frames in 10 of his 12 starts. Beyond eating up innings, Lorenzen has pitched quite effectively throughout the campaign, accumulating a 3.04 ERA and 1.16 WHIP despite a mediocre 55:31 K:BB through 77 frames.

    • Serves up three long balls in loss
      Munoz (1-3) took the loss against Kansas City on Monday, allowing four runs on six hits and four walks while striking out four batters over six innings.

      Advice: Munoz's command wasn't on point Monday, as he tied a season high with four free passes while serving up three home runs. It was the second straight start in which the right-hander surrendered three long balls, and he's given up multiple homers in five of his seven outings overall on the season. Munoz's horrendous 3.5 HR/9 and poor 4.5 BB/9 has led to a 7.94 FIP, which makes his 5.80 ERA seem fortunate. Rotowire.com Monday, 11:13 pm
       
    • Michael Lorenzen solid for five against Brewers
      Michael Lorenzen yielded two runs in five-plus innings Monday in a no-decision versus the Brewers.

      Advice: Lorenzen and Freddy Peralta pitched to a stalemate in this one. Lorenzen struck out five and walked one while throwing 91 pitches. It’s the seventh straight start in which he’s allowed three runs or fewer, and while he didn’t go deep tonight, he’s completed six innings in five of those outing and 10 of 13 starts for the year.

    • Earns first career win
      Spiers (1-1) yielded three runs on seven hits and a walk over six innings Monday, striking out five and earning a win over the Pirates.

      Advice: Spiers coughed up a run in the third inning and two more in the fifth. He's given up seven runs in 12 innings during his two starts this season, both of which came against Pittsburgh. He's sporting a 3.45 ERA with a 25:6 K:BB through 31.1 frames this season. Spiers is currently in line for a start in St. Louis this weekend. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:31 pm
       
    • Munoz gives up three home runs once again
      Roddery Munoz allowed four runs in six innings and took the loss against the Royals on Monday.

      Advice: Munoz gave up six hits, walked four and struck out four. It was another rough game for Munoz, who allowed six earned runs in his last start as well as three home runs. He only allowed four runs against the Royals, but gave up another three home runs as well as a double by Bobby Witt Jr. He now has a 5.80 ERA and is off the fantasy radar. The 24-year-old right-hander is set to face the Phillies on the road this weekend.

    • Carson Spiers spins six frames to beat Pirates
      Carson Spiers surrendered three runs over six innings on Monday in a win over the Pirates.

      Advice: Spiers appears to be settling in at the highest level as he turned in his third consecutive strong outing in a rematch against the Pirates after a six-inning effort last week in Pittsburgh. He struck out five and only handed out one free pass. We’re not ready to proclaim that he’s a viable mixed-league option at this point, but the results have been there recently as Spiers holds a serviceable 3.45 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 25/6 K/BB ratio across 31 1/3 innings (seven appearances, two starts). There might be some streaming appeal moving forward, but probably not on Saturday against the Cardinals in a challenging road matchup. Rotoworld Monday, 7:17 pm
       
    • So-so in loss
      Povich (0-2) took the loss Monday against Cleveland, yielding three earned runs on seven hits and one walk while striking out five over 5.2 innings.

      Advice: Povich allowed four extra-base hits on the night including a solo home run to Jose Ramirez in the sixth inning. Since a brutal MLB debut on June 6 where he allowed six earned runs, the 24-year-old rookie has pitched to a 2.20 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP in 16.1 innings over his past three starts. It remains to be seen if Povich will hold onto his rotation spot when Dean Kremer (triceps) returns from the IL. With Kremer likely to be activated in early July, Povich should make at least one more start, currently scheduled for this weekend against the Rangers. Rotowire.com Monday, 7:14 pm

    • Cade Povich fans five in loss to Guardians
      Cade Povich was charged with three runs over 5 2/3 innings on Monday in a loss to the Guardians.

      Advice: Povich predictably couldn’t solve Guardians superstar José Ramírez, who tagged him for a run-scoring single in the opening frame, in addition to a go-ahead solo shot in the sixth inning, which was enough to saddle him with the loss in a low-scoring affair at Camden Yards. He struck out five and only issued one walk. The 24-year-old rookie southpaw has absolutely held his own so far in his first taste of the majors with a respectable 4.15 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 14/10 K/BB ratio across 21 2/3 innings (four starts) for Baltimore. He’ll lock horns with the defending World Series champion Rangers on Saturday in his next outing. He’s not exactly a recommended option for fantasy managers in shallow mixed leagues, but he’s definitely worth monitoring over the next few months. Rotoworld Monday, 6:25 pm
