  • Falls just short of five frames
    Wilson allowed two runs on five hits and one walk while striking out three batters over 4.2 innings in a no-decision against Houston on Saturday.

    Advice: Wilson was given a 4-1 lead going into the bottom of the fifth inning, but he was pulled after giving up a one-out solo homer to Jake Meyers and a two-out single to Jose Altuve. The hook eliminated the right-hander's chance to qualify for the win, and it marked the second straight outing in which he's failed to go five frames. Still, Wilson has given up a tolerable four runs across 8.2 innings during those two contests, and he's recorded a 2.79 ERA across 38.2 innings on the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:30 pm
     
  • Pitches well in no-decision
    Mikolas allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out four over five innings in a no-decision versus the Red Sox on Saturday.

    Advice: Mikolas threw just 79 pitches (54 strikes), so it's possible manager Oliver Marmol didn't want the right-hander to go through the order a third time in a close game. The lone run on Mikolas' line was a solo home run by Rafael Devers in the fourth inning. Mikolas has allowed three runs or fewer in six of his outings this season, but he's given up five or more runs in his other four starts. He's at a 5.77 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 39:11 K:BB through 53 innings overall. The veteran is projected for a home start versus the rival Cubs his next time out. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:29 pm
     
  • Bullpen session on tap
    Boyle (back) is slated to throw a "two-up" bullpen session Sunday, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The right-hander will take an important step in his recovery with the session, which will see Boyle participate in separate throwing sessions with rest periods in between. If Boyle proves capable of tolerating the activity well, he could potentially be activated when first eligible Tuesday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:22 pm
     
  • Takes third straight loss
    Stripling (1-8) allowed four runs on nine hits and struck out two without walking a batter over five-plus innings, taking the loss Saturday versus the Royals.

    Advice: Stripling has lost three straight starts, though he kept the ball in the yard and didn't walk a batter for the first time in that span. The veteran right-hander gave up two runs in the first inning and then ran into trouble again in the fifth and the sixth. Stripling has a 5.19 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 32:12 K:BB over 52 innings across 10 starts this season. The Athletics' rotation has been hammered with injuries, so he's at little risk of slipping out of a starting role any time soon. Stripling is projected to make his next start at home versus the Astros. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:19 pm
     
  • Strikes out 10 in win
    Lugo (7-1) earned the win Saturday over the Athletics, allowing two runs on six hits and a walk while striking out 10 over 5.2 innings.

    Advice: Lugo was able to limit the damage to a two-run home run by Seth Brown in the second inning. This was Lugo's second straight start with double-digit strikeouts, though he came up one out short of a fifth straight quality start. The right-hander is now at a 1.79 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 58:13 K:BB through 65.1 innings over 10 starts this season. He's projected to make his next start on the road against the Rays.

  • Surrenders five runs in loss
    Ober (4-2) took the loss against Cleveland on Saturday, allowing five runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four batters over four innings.

    Advice: A first-inning, two-run home run by Jose Ramirez set the tone for Cleveland's offense, which ended up scoring in all but one of the four frames during which Ober toed the rubber. The right-handed hurler needed 91 pitches to get 12 outs and finished with his shortest outing since his disastrous eight-run, 1.1-inning loss in his first start of the campaign. Ober had rebounded impressively from that blowup prior to Saturday, posting a 2.16 ERA and 0.67 WHIP over his subsequent seven starts. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:54 pm
     
  • José Ureña gives up one run against Angels
    José Ureña went six innings while allowing just a run against the Angels on Saturday.

    Advice: Ureña has more than held his own as a starter thus far for the Rangers, and while he hasn’t exactly faced the cream of the crop, he’s yet to allow more than two runs in his three starts. The right-hander walked one, struck out three and allowed just four hits, but didn’t qualify for a decision with Patrick Sandoval equaling his one-run effort. He does have a tough scheduled matchup for Thursday, however, against the Phillies. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:01 pm
     
  • Patrick Sandoval goes six strong against Rangers
    Patrick Sandoval allowed just a run over six innings while not factoring into the decision Saturday against the Rangers.

    Advice: Sandoval did walk three and threw just 56-of-99 pitches for strikes, but he also allowed only three hits while picking up five strikeouts. It’s the second time in three starts that the southpaw has allowed no more than a run, and it’s helped lower what was a 6.75 ERA on April 20 to 4.85. He’ll have a chance to lower it again Friday against Cleveland. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:01 pm
     
  • Mikolas allows one over five in start vs. Red Sox
    Miles Mikolas only allowed one run over five innings against the Red Sox on Saturday, but he didn’t factor into the decision.

    Advice: Mikolas allowed just two hits in the start, with one of those being a homer to Rafael Devers. The right-hander also walked one and struck out four in one of his best outings of the 2024 campaign. That’s a bit of faint praise considering he came into this start with a 6.19 ERA, but, it is what it is. The Cubs are next for Mikolas. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:08 pm
