    • Generates another quality start
      Kirby didn't factor into the decision Sunday against the Blue Jays, allowing three runs on seven hits and a walk over six-plus innings. He struck out eight.

      Advice: Kirby posted a sixth straight quality start and left the contest having allowed just one run. However, he left a pair of runners on the basepaths, both of which came in to score on a George Springer home run to finalize Kirby's earned run total at three. Kirby is tied for the 10th most quality starts in baseball and ranks top-10 in innings pitched with 111.2. He owns a 3.39 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP along with an outstanding 109:11 K:BB on the year. He's scheduled to face the Angels next weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 12:51 am
       
    • Keeps raking
      Witt went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Sunday's 10-1 win over Colorado.

      Advice: Witt clubbed his 15th home run of the season, taking Ty Blach yard for a three-run homer in the ninth inning. The 24-year-old shortstop was named an AL All-Star reserve and has shown exactly why he's deserving of the honor lately, batting 12-for-23 with three homers and nine runs scored across his last seven games Rotowire.com Today, 12:44 am
       
    • Turns in quality start
      Cannon allowed a run on three hits and four walks over six innings in a no-decision Sunday. He struck out three in the loss against Miami.

      Advice: Cannon kept the Marlins off the board until the fourth inning when he coughed up an RBI double to Vidal Brujan. Cannon hadn't walked more than two batters in any MLB appearance this season prior to Sunday's outing. He issued only three free passes over his previous 25.1 frames. Despite the shaky command, he bounced back after giving up 11 runs (eight earned) over his previous two starts. Cannon lowered his ERA to 4.20 with a 35:11 K:BB through 45 innings. He's currently lined up for a home start against the Pirates next weekend. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:16 pm
       
    • George Kirby posts quality start in no-decision
      George Kirby logged a quality start in a no-decision against the Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon, giving up three runs on seven hits over his six-plus frames.

      Advice: The right-hander racked up eight strikeouts on the day while allowing only one base on balls. The Jays scratched out a run against him in the fourth inning on a sacrifice fly by Alejandro Kirk. Kirby then allowed a pair of singles to start the seventh inning before turning the ball over to the bullpen — and both runs ultimately scored. The 26-year-old hurler got 16 swings and misses on 93 pitches in the contest — 10 of those on his heater — while posting a strong CSW of 33 percent. He’ll look to finish his first half strong as he brings a 3.39 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and a 109/11 K/BB ratio (111 2/3 innings) into Saturday’s showdown against the Angels in Los Angeles.

    • Bobby Witt Jr. headlines A.L. All-Star reserves
      Bobby Witt Jr. was named to his first American League All-Star team on Sunday.

      Advice: It’s the first of what should be many All-Star nominations for the 24-year-old superstar shortstop. Witt has been outstanding this season, slashing .324/.372/.564 with 15 homers, 61 RBI, 72 runs scored and 22 stolen bases. He’ll be joined on the American League squad by fellow reserves Salvador Perez, Carlos Correa, Rafael Devers, Marcus Semien, Kyle Tucker, Josh Naylor, Isaac Paredes, Jarren Duran, Riley Greene and David Fry.

    • Bobby Witt Jr. goes 3-for-5, hits three-run homer
      Bobby Witt Jr. went 3-for-5 with a three-run homer as the Royals crushed the Rockies 10-1 on Sunday.

      Advice: Witt slumped just a bit over the second half of June, but he’s now collected 15 hits, including three homers, in his last seven games, pushing his OPS back up to .936. He’s second in the majors with a .324 average and tied for second with 72 runs scored. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:46 pm
       
    • Cannon solid in no-decision
      Jonathan Cannon allowed one run on three hits in six innings in a no-decision against the Marlins.

      Advice: Cannon walked four and struck out three on the day while allowing just one extra-base hit. The 23-year-old didn’t miss many bats on the day with just six whiffs on 33 swings for an 18 percent whiff rate and 22 percent CSW. He’ll have to hope that’s enough to keep him in the rotation when Mike Clevinger comes back. As of now, Cannon lines up for a strong start against the Pirates next week. He has a 4.20 ERA on the year and has only had one bad performance; it just happened to be one that torpedoed his ratios. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:01 pm
       
    • On bench again Sunday
      Schneider is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

      Advice: It's the second straight game on the bench for Schneider after he started the previous three games. The 25-year-old hasn't produced much at the plate recently and has gone 3-for-29 with 12 strikeouts in his last 12 contests. Daulton Varsho is manning left field Sunday while Kevin Kiermaier starts in center. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:07 pm
       
    • Could be activated Tuesday
      Phillies manager Rob Thomson said Sunday that Harper (hamstring) is "in play" to be activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Tuesday's game against the Dodgers, Todd Zolecki of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: While Thomson confirmed that Kyle Schwarber (groin) will be back with the big club Tuesday, the skipper was less certain that Harper will be ready to go for the start of the three-game series with the NL West leaders. On a positive note, Harper ran on the field for a second straight day Sunday, with Zolecki relaying that the first baseman appeared to be moving at close to 100 percent intensity. Harper has been on the IL since June 28 with a left hamstring strain, with his absence opening up regular playing time at first base for Kody Clemens against right-handed pitching.
