    • Collects win Tuesday
      Hader (2-3) allowed a walk and struck out three over two scoreless and hitless innings to earn the extra-inning win over the Athletics on Tuesday.

      Advice: After starter Ronel Blanco was ejected for the alleged use of a foreign substance, this became a bit of a bullpen game for the Astros as they looked to protect a 1-0 lead. Ryan Pressly couldn't maintain the lead in the eighth inning, but Hader pitched well in the ninth and 10th, and he got the win after Victor Caratini delivered a walk-off hit as a pinch hitter. Hader's active 4.1-inning scoreless streak is his longest of the season. He's now at a 4.74 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 30:9 K:BB with five saves in six chances over 19 innings this season.

    • JP Sears allows one earned run vs. Astros
      JP Sears allowed one earned run and five hits over five innings in Tuesday’s loss to the Astros.

      Advice: Sears only struck out two batters in this one, but he did a good job of limiting baserunners for much of the evening. His lone blemish on the night came in the second inning on an Alex Bregman home run, but Sears was once again solid for the A’s. He’s now allowed one run or less in five outings this season and is sitting on a 3.96 ERA heading into his next start, which is scheduled for Sunday against the Royals. Rotoworld 12 minutes ago

    • Adolis Garcia homers in two-hit night vs. CLE
      Adolis Garcia went 2-for-4 with a home run and two runs scored in Tuesday’s loss to the Guardians.

      Advice: Garcia’s ninth homer of the season came on a solo blast off Cleveland’s Ben Lively. It was the first homer of the month for Garcia, who has cooled off in a big way after a strong April. Garcia entered the day slashing .154/.193/.173 in the month of May and has become difficult to trust in fantasy as a result. Managers who are unwilling to bench him will have to hope he comes out of this slump sooner rather than later. Hopefully, Tuesday’s two-hit night is a step in the right direction.

    • Leiter lit up for 6 ER in 1 2/3 IP vs. Guardians
      Jack Leiter allowed six earned runs over 1 2/3 innings in Tuesday’s loss to the Guardians.

      Advice: It was another rough outing for Leiter, whose ERA now sits at 16.39 through three career starts. Baseballs No. 6 ranked prospect made it through the first inning unscathed despite a few eratic pitches but was lit for six runs in the second inning, with Josh Naylor’s three-run bomb putting the finishing touches on a disastrous inning for the young righty. Assuming he’s still with the big league club next week, Leiter’s next outing is scheduled for Tuesday against the Phillies, which could make for another challenging start. Rotoworld 16 minutes ago

    • Josh Naylor’s 3-run homer leads Guardians to win
      Josh Naylor went 1-for-3 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Rangers.

      Advice: Naylor capped off a six-run second inning for the Guardians when he smacked a three-run homer off Jack Leiter to give the Guardians a 6-1 lead. Naylor has now homered four times this month and has hit 12 on the season while also driving in 33 runs. He’s pacing toward a career year if he can continue his strong start. He’s cooled off a bit, slashing .239/.352/.587 this month, but continues to be an imposing threat in the middle of the order.

    • Bo Naylor drives in two in win over Rangers
      Bo Naylor went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Rangers.

      Advice: Naylor doubled in the second inning to score Estevan Florial and Kyle Manzanardo, giving the Guardians their first runs of the day and an early 2-0 lead. He would later score on a single by Andrés Giménez to push the lead to 3-0. Naylor’s hit ended a three-game hitless streak as the catcher has struggled out of the gate to start the year. Naylor entered the day batting .175 with three homers and nine RBI over 33 games. He remains well off the fantasy radar at this time. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
       
    • Ben Lively strikes out five in win over Rangers
      Ben Lively allowed five hits and three earned runs over five innings in Tuesday’s win over the Rangers.

      Advice: Lively’s three earned runs all came on solo blasts from Adolis Garcia, Corey Seager, and Nathaniel Lowe. While it wasn’t an ideal way to get through an otherwise strong outing, the veteran righty did about as well as one could hope for against a strong Rangers lineup. He ran into a bit of trouble in the fourth inning, loading the bases after a single and two walked batters, but was able to strike out Marcus Semien to end the inning. Lively earned his second win of the season in this outing and will look to pick up his third on Monday against the Mets. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago

    • Back in minors
      The Nationals returned Rutledge to Triple-A Rochester after Tuesday's doubleheader against the White Sox.

      Advice: Rutledge pitched one inning during the nightcap in what was his season debut, allowing one earned run on two hits while striking out one batter. He holds a 6.33 ERA and 1.63 WHIP through 27 innings across seven starts in the minors, and he would likely need to show significant improvement before he draws consideration for an extended stint in the big leagues.

    • Elias Díaz leaves game with left hand soreness
      Elias Díaz was removed from Tuesday’s game against the Padres due to left hand soreness.

      Advice: It doesn’t sound like a serious concern, but we’ll have to wait and see. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
