  • Goes seven innings in second win
    Stone (2-1) earned the win Friday against the Blue Jays, allowing one run on two hits and two walks over seven innings. He struck out two.

    Advice: Stone was impressive Friday, holding Toronto to one run on Danny Jansen's fourth-inning homer while the Dodgers' offense provided plenty of support in the eventual 12-2 victory. The 25-year-old right-hander's held opponents to two runs or fewer in each of his last three outings, lowering his ERA to 4.68 with a 1.44 WHIP and 18:12 K:BB across five starts (25 innings) this season. He's currently slated for a tough home matchup versus Atlanta in his next outing. Rotowire.com 1 minute ago
     
  • Knocks grand slam
    Haniger went 1-for-4 with a grand slam in Friday's win over Arizona.

    Advice: Haniger's grand slam in the sixth inning gave the Mariners enough cushion to pull away with a victory. It was his fourth homer of the season and first since April 15, snapping a seven-game drought. The veteran outfielder is 3-for-25 (.120) with 11 strikeouts and no walks over his last six contests. On the year, Haniger is slashing .244/.306/.422 through 98 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago

  • Mitch Haniger hits grand slam in victory over ARI
    Mitch Haniger hit a grand slam in the Mariners’ 6-1 win over the Diamondbacks on Friday.

    Advice: Haniger broke open the game with a grand slam to turn a 2-1 lead into a 6-1 cushion. The 33-year-old veteran has driven in 18 runs with the salami over 26 games — putting him at a triple-digit pace — and he’s swatted four homers on the young campaign. There will always be health concerns with Haniger, but he can be an effective option when he’s on the field. Rotoworld 6 minutes ago

  • Emerson Hancock holds D-Backs to one run over six
    Emerson Hancock gave up just two hits and one run in six innings to pick up a win over the Diamondbacks on Friday.

    Advice: Hancock walked two, but he was able to erase any threats with four strikeouts and three double plays. It’s another strong start for the 24-year-old, and outside of one disaster against the Brewers, he’s been an effective option. The question is whether he’s been effective enough to hold off Bryan Woo (elbow), who isn’t far away from returning. He’ll definitely be back on the mound Wednesday against Atlanta.

  • Rough night vs. LA
    Bassitt (2-4) took the loss Friday against the Dodgers, allowing seven runs on nine hits and three walks over 2.2 innings. He struck out four.

    Advice: Bassitt allowed a solo home run to Shohei Ohtani in the first inning before imploding in the third, where he allowed another six runs on six hits, with the big blow coming on a Max Muncy three-run homer. It's been a rocky start to the year for the 35-year-old Bassitt -- his ERA is up to 5.64 with a 1.85 WHIP and 30:17 K:BB across six starts (30.1 innings). He'll look to right the ship in his next outing, currently slated for next week against Kansas City. Rotowire.com 8 minutes ago
     
  • Picks up win
    Hancock (3-2) yielded a run on two hits and two walks over six innings Friday, striking out four and earning a win over Arizona.

    Advice: Hancock turned in five scoreless frames before a solo shot by Kevin Newman in the sixth inning finally put the Diamondbacks on the board. Hancock has now turned in three consecutive quality starts; during that stretch, he's allowed just four earned runs over 18 innings, lowering his season ERA to 5.06 through 26.2 innings. Hancock is currently lined up for a tough home matchup with Atlanta next week. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago

  • Solid against Baltimore
    Stripling did not factor into the decision Friday against the Orioles, allowing two runs on six hits while striking out three over 5.2 innings.

    Advice: Stripling was sharp against a hot Orioles offense, eventually winding up with a no-decision to end a stretch of five straight losses to open the year. The veteran right-hander lowered his ERA to 4.98 with a 1.49 WHIP and 25:8 K:BB through six starts (34.1 innings) this season. Stripling will look for his first win in his next start, currently slated for next week against the Pirates. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Zac Gallen leaves start with hamstring tightness
    Zac Gallen was pulled from Friday evening’s start against the Mariners mid at-bat in the sixth inning due to tightness in his right hamstring.

    Advice: With as bad as it looked initially on the field, it’s actually encouraging that it’s not an elbow, shoulder or oblique issue that the 28-year-old right-hander is dealing with. The severity of the injury still isn’t known, but there’s a possibility that he may not even require a trip to the injured list. A lot will probably depend on how he wakes up feeling on Saturday, but for now fantasy managers and Diamondbacks’ fans can breathe a sigh of relief. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
