    • Jordan Montgomery fans three, gets win over Angels
      Jordan Montgomery allowed three runs over 5 2/3 innings Tuesday in a defeat of the Angels.

      Advice: Montgomery hasn’t done much after signing late, but he was able to take down one of the teams that snubbed him in free agency to even his record at 4-4. He’ll bring a 6.58 ERA into his next start against the White Sox on Sunday. Perhaps he’ll take advantage of another weak lineup then. Rotoworld Tuesday, 11:49 pm
       
    • Rebounds with win
      Stroman (6-2) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing four hits and three walks with one strikeout across 5.2 scoreless innings against Kansas City.

      Advice: After allowing a season-high five runs in his last start, Stroman blanked the Royals on Tuesday. However, he struggled with command, finding the strike zone on just 54 of his 102 pitches while issuing three walks. The 33-year-old has generated five combined strikeouts in his last three starts, a stretch in which he's walked seven batters and hit two more. On the year, Stroman owns a 2.82 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP across 79.2 innings. He's lined up to face the Red Sox at Fenway on Sunday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:01 pm
       
    • Tanner Scott gets two-inning save
      Tanner Scott pitched two scoreless innings, striking out three to secure his eighth save in a 4-2 win over the Mets on Tuesday.

      Advice: Scott was brought in to face the heart of the Mets order in the eighth inning and then stayed in to close out the game after the Marlins gave him an extra run of cushion in the top of the ninth. The left-hander has now walked six batters and struck out eighteen in 15 innings since the start of May. That hasn’t led to many saves with Miami not producing many wins, but Scott has seemed to put his early season control issues behind him. For now. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:58 pm
       
    • Stroman pitches 5 2/3 scoreless innings vs. Royals
      Marcus Stroman pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings and allowed four hits in Tuesday’s win over the Royals.

      Advice: Stroman allowed seven baserunners while striking out just one batter, but the veteran righty did what was needed to stifle a potent Royals lineup on the road. It was a nice bounce back for Stroman, who allowed a season-high five earned runs in his last outing against the Twins, but surrendered just one extra-base hits in this one. Now sitting on a 6-2 record and boasting a 2.82 ERA, Stroman will look to earn his seventh win on Sunday against the Red Sox. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:55 pm
       
    • Jesús Luzardo battles through win over Mets
      Jesús Luzardo allowed two runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings in a win over the Mets on Tuesday.

      Advice: Luzardo had four strikeouts to just one walk while inducing 16 whiffs on 49 swings for a 33 percent whiff rate and 32 percent CSW. He also struggled to command both his slider and changeup on the day, posting sub-40 percent zone rates on both pitches. The left-hander was pulled at 91 pitches with one runner on in the sixth inning. This was an important start for Luzardo’s trade value as the 26th-year-old now has a 5.11 ERA on the season heading into another good matchup against the Nationals this weekend.

    • Strikes out four in loss
      Berrios (5-5) took the loss to the Brewers on Monday, allowing three runs on five hits and one walk with four strikeouts over 5.2 innings.

      Advice: Berrios surrendered solo home runs to Jackson Chourio and Willy Adames in the third and fourth innings then allowed another run on a sacrifice fly by Adames in the sixth. Berrios was bidding for his sixth straight quality start but labored through the sixth and left the game with two outs after throwing 105 pitches in the contest. Despite faltering late, Berrios has now logged a quality start in 11 of 14 outings and owns a 2.93 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 64:22 K:BB this season. He lines up for his second start of the week against the Guardians on Sunday. Rotowire.com Monday, 9:12 pm
       
    • Berrios allows three runs in loss Monday
      Jose Berrios allowed three runs in 5 2/3 innings and took the loss against the Brewers on Monday.

      Advice: Berrios gave up five hits, walked one and struck out four. Two of the five hits he allowed were home runs to Jackson Chourio and Willy Adames. Berrios has a 2.93 ERA on the season, but his xFIP is 4.09. His 88 percent left on base percentage is a giant red flag. It’s unlikely Berrios will continue to be able to get by with an 18 percent strikeout percentage while allowing 1.36 HR/9. The 30-year-old right-hander is set to face the Guardians at home this weekend.

    • Andrés Muñoz’s status to be evaluated daily
      Andrés Muñoz is still dealing with his sore back, according to manager Scott Servais, and could be day-to-day for the foreseeable future.

      Advice: We’re guessing that means Muñoz won’t go tonight after throwing 15 pitches in a scoreless inning Sunday. Ryne Stanek could be the favorite to close tonight. Rotoworld Monday, 4:27 pm
       
    • Report: Yankees might eye lefty relievers
      According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, it “would be ideal” for the Yankees to pursue a “wipeout lefty” before the trade deadline.

      Advice: Rosenthal specifically mentions Marlins’ Tanner Scott or Andrew Nardi and acknowledges that “The acquisition cost for a pre-arbitration reliever such as Nardi...would be considerably higher.” He also mentions that the Yankees would be open to high-strikeout-rate right-handed relievers as well, but a lefty is an ideal fit. This, of course, highlights one of the threats to Tanner Scott’s fantasy value as he would almost certainly lose his closer role if he were traded to the Yankees. You’re unlikely to get much for Scott in a trade in fantasy leagues, but his time as a closer appears to be running out with the trade deadline looming. Rotoworld Monday, 9:17 am
