    • Notches 24th save
      Clase pitched a scoreless inning, allowing a hit and walk while striking out a batter on his way to a save in Sunday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Clase was called upon to protect a 6-5 lead in the top of the ninth inning, working around a pair of baserunners for his 24th save of the season. The right-hander is as elite as it gets at closer, going 24-for-27 on save opportunities in 2024, while he has now converted his last 11 chances. On the season, Clase owns a microscopic 0.72 ERA and 0.64 WHIP with 38 strikeouts over 37.1 innings in 38 appearances out of Cleveland's bullpen. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:01 pm
       
    • Cubs recall Luke Little from Triple-A on Sunday
      Cubs recalled RHP Luke Little from Triple-A Iowa.

      Advice: The 23-year-old hurler took the place of the injured Mark Leiter Jr. (forearm) in the Cubs’ bullpen. Little had just been optioned to Triple-A Iowa on Saturday, but he’s able to return a day later with Leiter hitting the injured list. Little has done a solid job in his time with the Cubs this season, registering a 4.35 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and a 20/17 K/BB ratio over 20 2/3 innings in 23 appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:54 pm
       
    • Cubs place Mark Leiter Jr. (forearm) on 15-day IL
      Cubs placed RHP Mark Leiter Jr. on the 15-day injured list with a right forearm strain.

      Advice: The move occurred before Sunday night’s battle against the Mets. It’s a brutal blow to the Cubs’ bullpen as the 33-year-old hurler has been a key cog in their late inning mix and had been extremely adept at stranding inherited runners this season. Luke Little was recalled from Triple-A Iowa to take his place in the Cubs’ bullpen. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:52 pm
       
    • Tosses four innings
      Tyler allowed two runs on three hits and three walks over four innings in a no-decision Sunday. He struck out two during the win over Seattle.

      Advice: Tyler made his first career MLB start and first MLB appearance since April 26. He worked three scoreless frames before coughing up a two-run homer to Luke Raley in the fourth inning. Tyler threw just 36 of 65 pitches for strikes. Due to several injuries to Miami's pitching staff, he could draw another start with the big club. As of now, Tyler would currently be lined up to start in Philadelphia. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:48 pm
       
    • Yields five runs in loss
      King (5-5) allowed five runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out eight over six innings to take the loss Sunday versus the Brewers.

      Advice: King had given up a total of five runs across his previous five outings, but he had just one win in that span despite a 34:9 K:BB over 26.2 innings. He wasn't as good Sunday, as the Brewers pieced together a two-out rally in the second inning that accounted for four of the five runs on his line. King is now at a 3.75 ERA with a 1.29 WHIP and 109:38 K:BB through 93.2 innings over 17 appearances (16 starts) this season. The right-hander is projected to make his next start at Boston.

    • Escapes with save
      Scott allowed two hits and a walk in a scoreless inning Sunday, striking out one and earning a save over the Mariners.

      Advice: Scott loaded the bases with two outs but managed to finish off the 6-4 win unscathed. He tossed 16 of 22 pitches for strikes and notched his first save since Jun 11. He blew his last save chance June 13 but has since turned in five straight scoreless innings. Scott has nine saves with a 1.64 ERA and a 35:23 K:BB through 33 innings.

    • Javier Assad gives up four runs in loss to Mets
      Javier Assad wasn’t at his best in Sunday’s loss to the Mets, surrendering four runs on seven hits across his 4 1/3 innings of work.

      Advice: Assad walked one batter on the evening and did not record a single strikeout. Most of the damage done against him came via the long ball, as Francisco Lindor crushed a two-run homer in the third inning and Brandon Nimmo followed with a solo shot. The Mets also scratched out a run while chasing Assad in the fifth. Assad got just three swings and misses on 90 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 26 percent. He’ll attempt to bounce back as he carries a 3.04 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and a 79/33 K/BB ratio (83 innings) into Friday’s battle against the Brewers in Milwaukee. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:21 pm
       
    • Scoreless outing as opener
      Kelly allowed a hit over 2.2 shutout innings as the opener during Sunday's win over the Reds. He struck out three batters.

      Advice: Boston used eight pitchers in the victory, and Kelly set the tone early with a strong performance. He's given up just one run over his last 11.2 innings, lowering his season ERA to 1.59 through 28.1 frames. Kelly is 2-1 with four holds this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:14 pm
       
    • Ejected, faces 10-game ban
      Diaz was ejected from Sunday's game against the Cubs for the use of an illegal substance following an inspection from the crew chief, Pat Ragazzo of SI.com reports.

      Advice: Diaz failed the "sticky substance" check upon entering the game in the bottom of the ninth inning with the Mets up 5-2. If MLB concurs with the crew chief's assessment, Diaz will receive an automatic 10-game suspension, so the Mets may be without their closer for some time. Expect a decision on a suspension to be announced before the Mets' next game Tuesday versus the Yankees. Reed Garrett and Adam Ottavino would likely be first in line for saves should Diaz receive a 10-game ban and choose not to appeal. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:13 pm
