  • Gore allows five runs in no-decision Saturday
    Mackenzie Gore allowed five runs in 3 1/3 innings and got a no-decision in the Nationals’ 14-6 victory over the Cardinals on Saturday.

    Advice: Gore gave up six hits, walked five and struck out five. The Nationals led 9-0 after two innings and Gore still couldn’t complete the necessary five innings to get the win. He’s allowed five runs in two of his last three starts and has a 3.83 ERA on the year. The 25-year-old left-hander is set to face the Mets on the road next week.

  • Greene blanks DET over seven with seven strikeouts
    Hunter Greene blanked the Tigers for seven innings but didn’t qualify for a decision Saturday.

    Advice: Greene was outstanding. His bullpen was not. The right-hander left with a 2-0 lead but the Tigers pounced on the Cincinnati reliers to prevent him from picking up his deserved win. It was one of the most efficient outings for the 24-year-old that saw him throw 63-of-104 pitches for strikes while allowing just three hits. Greene has special talent, it’s just a matter of finding that efficiency on a more consistent basis. He’ll get the Rockies at home before the break. Rotoworld Today, 4:03 pm
     
  • Garrett Crochet goes four innings in start vs. MIA
    Garrett Crochet allows three runs in four innings against the Marlins on Saturday.

    Advice: Much has been made of Crochet being on a limited pitch count in his first year as a starter, but he likely wouldn’t have gone deep even without said limit. On top of giving up his three runs, he needed 93 pitches to get through those four innings while walking three and striking out five. Crochet has been a heck of a find in 2024, but there’s likely to be an awful lot of three-to-five inning starts in the second half of the campaign. Keep that risk in mind.

  • Diaz has three hits, three-run home run in loss
    Yandy Diaz went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double, and a three-run home run against the Rangers on Saturday.

    Advice: Diaz’ home run was his eighth of the season. His three-run shot in the seventh inning off Jacob Latz put the Rays on top 3-2. Diaz is hitting just .270 on the season, but has picked it up lately. He’s 42-for-133 (.315) over his last 31 games. Rotoworld Today, 3:48 pm
     
  • Jo Adell slugs solo homer in win over Cubs
    Jo Adell with 1-for-3 with a solo homer, two runs scored, and a walk against the Cubs on Saturday.

    Advice: Adell drew a walk in the second inning and scored on a base hit by Keston Hiura. He then extended the Angels lead with a solo homer off Drew Smyly in the fifth. The 25-year-old outfielder is up to 14 homers while slashing .186/.251/.397 with 37 RBI and ten steals across 268 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 1:57 pm

  • White Sox plan to limit Garrett Crochet’s workload
    White Sox manager Pedro Grifol told reporters Saturday that Garrett Crochet will likely have a limited pitch count in his final start prior to the All-Star break.

    Advice: Crochet has been the biggest name floated as a possible trade candidate in the coming weeks and it’s going to take a considerable haul to meet Chicago’s asking price. The 25-year-old southpaw has managed to stay healthy and finally put everything together in a stellar first-half breakthrough, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that the White Sox are going to limit his workload leading up to the trade deadline in a few weeks.

  • Picks up 14th steal
    Henderson went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

    Advice: Henderson has usually made an impact with power, but he flashed his speed Friday. He stole third base and scored on an error following his leadoff single in the first inning. The shortstop is 16-for-46 (.348) over his last 11 games, lifting his season slash line to .288/.379/.599 through 87 contests. He's added 27 home runs, 14 steals, 60 RBI, 76 runs scored, 18 doubles and four triples. Rotowire.com Today, 10:40 am
     
  • Clubs 22nd homer
    Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Friday's loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: The veteran slugger got hold of a 98.4 mph two-seamer from Jose Alvarado in the eighth inning, driving it 409 feet over the fence in right field. Ozuna snapped an 11-game homer drought with the blast -- tied for his longest dry spell of the year -- and while he has slowed down after a blistering start to the season, he's still slashing .296/.377/.560 through 86 contests with 22 homers and 70 RBI, with the latter mark tying him for the NL lead with Alec Bohm.

  • Belts clutch homer Friday
    Profar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Friday's 10-8 win against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Profar's long ball was a big one, as it knotted up the score in the bottom of the ninth after Arizona had taken the lead with a six-run top of the frame. It also gave the outfielder two consecutive contests with a homer following a 19-game stretch during which he went deep just once. Profar is in the midst of his best big-league campaign, slashing .316/.409/.490 with 13 home runs, 57 RBI, 51 runs and five stolen bases over 364 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 7:20 am
