    • Ben Brown allows three runs in loss to Red Sox
      Ben Brown allowed three runs with four strikeouts across 3 2/3 innings in a loss against the Red Sox on Saturday.

      Advice: Brown got a spot start for the Cubs with Kyle Hendricks on the injured list. He served up a two-run homer to Tyler O’Neil in the first inning. Two hits and a sacrifice fly brought one more run in for the Red Sox in the fourth inning before Brown was pulled with two outs at 61 pitches. He struck out four. The 24-year-old right-hander holds a 4.30 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and a 22/6 K/BB ratio across 23 innings. Another start in the rotation could come next Thursday against the Mets in New York.

    • Notches eighth save
      Phillips gave up an unearned run on one hit and struck out two Saturday to record his eighth save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: The closer's own throwing error with two outs put Davis Schneider aboard and led to Toronto's final run, but Phillips otherwise had little trouble sealing the victory. The right-hander is a perfect 8-for-8 in converting save chances to begin the season, and he's delivered a dazzling 0.77 ERA and 15:4 K:BB through 11.2 innings. Rotowire.com 53 minutes ago
       
    • Evan Phillips notches eighth save on Saturday
      Evan Phillips allowed one run with two strikeouts in the ninth inning against the Blue Jays on Saturday to earn the save.

      Advice: Phillips was summoned with a three-run lead in the ninth against Toronto. He quickly struck out the first two batters, but put a runner on with a throwing error. A base hit would bring in a run to make it a two-run game, but Phillips would hold on to record the final out and his eighth save of the season. Rotoworld Today, 3:03 pm
       
    • Framber Valdez to go 70-75 pitches on Sunday
      Astros’ manager Joe Espada told reporters on Saturday that Framber Valdez is expected to throw around 70-75 pitches in Sunday’s start against the Rockies.

      Advice: It’s no surprise that Valdez would be a bit limited in his first start back from the injured list, so fantasy managers need to be aware that he may not stick around long enough to earn a victory. That — and the high run-scoring environment in Mexico City — may mean it’s best to leave Valdez on the bench before inserting him back into lineups for next week. Rotoworld Today, 1:57 pm

    • Taken off IL
      The Astros removed Valdez (elbow) from the 15-day injured list Saturday, per the MLB transaction log.

      Advice: Valdez is set to start in Sunday's game against the Rockies as part of a two-game series in Mexico City. The 30-year-old southpaw landed on the Astros' 15-day IL on April 9 due to left elbow inflammation. Valdez threw a 40-pitch bullpen session Wednesday, and he will likely be on a pitch count over his first few outings. Rotowire.com Today, 11:23 am

    • Astros activate Framber Valdez for Sunday return
      Astros activated LHP Framber Valdez from the 15-day injured list.

      Advice: It’s merely a procedural move as Valdez was set to rejoin Houston’s starting rotation to take the ball during Sunday’s series finale in Mexico City against the Rockies. The combination of some likely have some workload restrictions and Mexico City’s extremely hitter-friendly offensive environment make him a risky proposition for fantasy managers right out of the gate.

    • Launches second homer
      Arcia went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 6-2 win over the Guardians.

      Advice: The shortstop crushed a Pedro Avila two-seamer over the fence in left-center field, giving Atlanta its last offense of the night in the eighth inning. Arcia has both his homers on the year in the last nine games, and he's slashing .311/.340/.478 through 97 plate appearances with nine RBI and 12 runs as he proves his 2023 resurgence was no fluke.

    • Snaps slump, logs steal
      Steer went 1-for-2 with two walks and a stolen base in Friday's 2-1 loss to the Rangers.

      Advice: Steer snapped an 0-for-18 skid in the third inning then stole his sixth base in 26 games and is on pace to surpass the 15 steals he had in 2023. That's the good fantasy news. On the other side, that hitless run came at the tail end of a 5-for-40 (.125) stretch with no extra-base hits and one RBI over 11 games. Rotowire.com Today, 6:58 am

    • Drives in run in Mets debut
      Martinez went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: He also struck out twice, but Martinez made a quick impact in his debut for the Mets, chasing Miles Mikolas from the game in the sixth inning with a run-scoring double. Martinez posted big numbers in only 113 games for the Dodgers last year, slashing .271/.321/.572 with 33 homers and 103 RBI, and once he's shaken off his rust the 36-year-old should be a potent addition to the middle of the New York batting order.
