  • 36-31-3 5th Place
    • Dominates Rays
      Houck (4-5) yielded two hits and a walk over seven shutout frames Monday, striking out five and earning a win over Tampa Bay.

      Advice: Houck was terrific Monday and didn't let any baserunners reach scoring position. It was his fourth scoreless start of the year, dropping his season ERA to 1.94 through 65 frames. Houck entered Monday's start on a four-game losing streak over his previous five starts. However, he registered an impressive 2.87 ERA during that span. Houck's next start is projected to be at home against the Brewers this weekend. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:58 pm
       
    • Ejected from series opener
      Marte was ejected from Monday's game against the Guardians after arguing a called third strike, SportsNet New York reports.

      Advice: Marte didn't agree with a called strike three to end the top half of the fourth inning, and he was ejected while walking out to his position in the bottom half of the frame. Tyrone Taylor replaced Marte in right field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:38 pm
       
    • Tanner Houck spins seven scoreless to beat Rays
      Tanner Houck fired seven shutout innings on Monday in a win over the Rays.

      Advice: Houck authored another brilliant performance, scattering just two hits and one walk over seven nearly-flawless frames. He finished with five strikeouts and allowed just six batted balls with an exit velocity over 92 mph in this one. He’ll carry a sparkling 1.94 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 62/12 K/BB ratio across 65 innings (10 starts) into a home tilt on Sunday against the Brewers. The 27-year-old righty has been an unexpected revelation this season for fantasy managers, allowing three earned runs or fewer in nine of his 10 starts so far. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:27 pm
       
    • Starling Marte tossed for arguing third strike
      Starling Marte was ejected from Monday’s game in the fourth inning for arguing balls and strikes.

      Advice: Marte couldn’t let it go after being (correctly) called out to end the top of the fourth and was tossed as he was beginning to walk out to right field for the bottom of the inning. Tyrone Taylor replaced him versus the Guardians. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:08 pm
       
    • Tigers undecided on when to activate Kenta Maeda
      The Tigers have yet to make a decision on whether they’ll activate Kenta Maeda to start this week.

      Advice: Maeda allowed one run and struck out six in three-plus innings for Triple-A Toledo in his rehab start Sunday. He’s expected to get another shot in the Detroit rotation, but the Tigers could ask him to make one more rehab start and use Matt Manning again this week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:06 pm
       
    • Goes three innings in rehab start
      Maeda (illness) allowed one run and struck out six over three innings in a rehab start with Triple-A Toledo on Sunday.

      Advice: He threw 53 pitches in the outing. Maeda will throw a bullpen session either Tuesday or Wednesday, per Chris McCosky of The Detroit News, and a decision as to whether he'll require another rehab start has not yet been made. It's possible he could rejoin the Tigers' rotation as soon as Friday versus the Blue Jays, but more should be known about his status in the coming days. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:05 pm
       
    • Sitting again Monday
      Garver is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Yankees.

      Advice: Garver returned to action Friday after missing a couple games due to back spasms, but he now finds himself on the bench for a second straight contest. Mitch Haniger will serve as the designated hitter while Luke Raley receives a start in the outfield. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:30 pm
       
    • Mitch Garver out of lineup for second straight day
      Mitch Garver is sitting again Monday, with Mariners manager Scott Servais saying he plans to mix in his lefty bats more frequently.

      Advice: Servais said Garver, Mitch Haniger and Ty France could all sit occasionally with Dominic Canzone and Luke Raley both playing against righties. Garver has been the worst performer of the trio so far this season, so he’s sat on consecutive days. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:19 pm
       
    • Jordan Westburg hitting cleanup for Orioles
      Jordan Westburg is hitting cleanup for the Orioles on Monday against the Cardinals.

      Advice: With right-hander Sonny Gray on the mound, Ryan Mountcastle is on the bench, which will allow Westburg to slide into the clean-up spot. Westburg has worked to corral his chase rate, which had led to a 22.4 percent strikeout rate in May and a .281/.333/.526 slash line. Now that he’s making better swing decisions, the full-on breakout appears to be on. Ryan O’Hearn is starting at first base and Anthony Santander will hit 5th at designated hitter.
