    • Paul Skenes strikes out seven in MLB debut
      Paul Skenes gave up three runs over four-plus innings with seven strikeouts in a no-decision against the Cubs on Saturday.

      Advice: Skenes allowed six hits while issuing two walks and throwing 54-of-84 pitches for strikes. Of those 84 offerings, 17 of them were clocked above 100 mph. The top pitching prospect in baseball held the Cubs scoreless for the first three innings, but he allowed a solo homer in the fourth to Nico Hoerner, and two more runs were charged to the 21-year-old in the fifth after he left without recording an out in that inning. A bit of a disappointing result, but anyone who watched Skenes pitch Saturday saw the makings of a frontline starter. He’ll face the Cubs again in Chicago on Thursday.

    • Tarik Skubal fans seven in victory over Astros
      Tarik Skubal delivered another strong performance in Saturday’s victory over the Astros, striking out seven batters over 6 1/3 innings of two-run ball.

      Advice: The Tigers’ ace allowed seven hits and a pair of walks on the evening. The only damage done against him came in the fourth inning, on run-scoring singles by Alex Bregman and Yainer Diaz. Aside from that, Skubal was in complete control. The flame-throwing 27-year-old southpaw generated 15 swings and misses on 97 pitches on the night — six on his changeup — while posting a strong CSW of 34 percent. He has been as good as advertised this season, posting a 5-0 record, 2.02 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and a 60/8 K/BB ratio across 49 innings through his first eight starts. He’ll look to keep the good times rolling when he squares off against the Diamondbacks in Arizona on Friday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:53 pm

    • Gunnar Henderson homer helps O’s top D-Backs
      Gunnar Henderson homered in a victory over the Diamondbacks on Saturday in 11 innings.

      Advice: Henderson hit a solo blast of Ryne Nelson in the fifth inning. That’s the 12th homer for the second-year shortstop, and he’s driven in 27 runs over the Orioles’ first 37 games of the year. Henderson has played at a star level for much of 2024, and there’s plenty of reason to believe there’ll be way more good than bad for the infielder for the rest of the season and beyond.

    • Evan Carter scratched Saturday with back stiffness
      Evan Carter was scratched from the Rangers’ starting lineup on Saturday due to stiffness in his lower back.

      Advice: He probably sustained the injury sitting on the bench three times during the week against left-handers instead of actually being on the field. The Rangers are going to take every possible precaution here, so it’s possible that he’ll be held out of Sunday’s lineup as well — causing him to miss the entire three-game weekend set against the Rockies.

    • Dealing with stiff back
      Carter is sitting Saturday against the Rockies due to lower-back stiffness, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Carter has a history of lower-back issues, so the Rangers are acting cautiously, per Grant. Travis Jankowski is getting the start in left field and batting seventh. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:25 pm

    • Sitting Saturday
      Carter is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: Despite the Rockies sending out right-hander Ryan Feltner, the lefty-hitting Carter will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout. Carter has gone 7-for-34 with five runs and four RBI while posting a 35.1 percent strikeout rate in May. Travis Jankowski will start in left field and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:23 pm

    • Getting Saturday off
      Tucker is not in the Astros' starting lineup for Satuday's game against the Tigers, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

      Advice: Tucker has gone deep in four of his last five games, and his 12 home runs on the season are tied with Atlanta's Marcell Ozuna for most in the majors. Joey Loperfido will start in right field Saturday and bat ninth against Detroit southpaw Tarik Skubal. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:49 pm

    • Kyle Tucker gets rare day off Saturday vs. Tigers
      Kyle Tucker is not in the Astros lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Tigers.

      Advice: It’s Tucker’s first day off this season. The 27-year-old fantasy superstar clobbered his 12th round-tripper of the season during Friday’s series-opening win over the Tigers. He holds a career-best .965 OPS with a league-leading 12 homers through 38 contests. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:32 pm

    • Set for big-league debut
      Skenes' contract was purchased from Triple-A Indianapolis ahead of his big-league debut Saturday against the Cubs.

      Advice: Skenes is the best pitching prospect to come along in over a decade, and his big-league debut is as highly anticipated as any pitching prospect's debut in recent memory. The big 6-foot-6 righty not only had the best statistical performance of any starter in the minors this year, but he has the best pure stuff as well. Skenes logged a 0.99 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, a 42.9 percent strikeout rate and a 7.6 percent walk rate in 27.1 innings at Triple-A. He has averaged just under five innings per start over his last three starts, but after throwing 129.1 innings in 2023, he should be able to push toward 160 total innings this year with good health.
