  • Struggles continue in no-decision
    Canning did not factor into the decision in a win over the Tigers on Saturday, allowing five runs (four earned) on six hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out four.

    Advice: Canning got himself into trouble out of the gate after giving up singles to two of the first two batters he faced, eventually leading to one run coming home for Detroit in the first. He would find himself in a similar situation in the fourth, surrendering back-to-back singles to open the frame before allowing two more runs to come across. The right-hander still managed to get through six innings for the fifth time in his last six starts, though he's now allowed four earned runs in three of his last four. Canning has also been tagged for at least one home run in four consecutive outings and has posted five or more strikeouts only one time in six starts this month. Rotowire.com Today, 6:51 am
     
  • Set for second start Tuesday
    Keuchel is listed as the Brewers' scheduled starter for Tuesday's game against the Rockies at Coors Field.

    Advice: Keuchel endured a rocky Milwaukee debut this past Wednesday against Texas, covering four innings and striking out four while allowing five earned runs on eight hits -- including two home runs -- and one walk. Don't look for the veteran southpaw's fortunes to improve much as he makes his second turn through the Milwaukee rotation in Colorado, one of the most unforgiving environments for pitchers.

  • Slugs 26th homer in win
    Ohtani went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Giants while also drawing two walks.

    Advice: Ohtani took Spencer Howard deep in the top of the third to give the Dodgers a 2-1 lead and later came around to score for a second time in the 11th after drawing a leadoff walk. The slugger is now up to 12 homers in the month of June, with nine of them coming over his last 12 games. Ohtani has also scored two runs in two of his last three games and has drawn at least one walk in eight straight. Rotowire.com Today, 6:28 am
     
  • Pitches well in no-decision
    Olson allowed two runs on five hits across six innings and did not factor into the decision in Saturday's contest against the Angels. He walked three and struck out nine.

    Advice: The nine strikeouts are a new season high, though the three walks also matched a season high, as Olson was a bit all over the place Saturday. He still managed a solid outing overall despite missing out on his third win of the year. The righty's 2-8 record isn't fitting of his 3.32 ERA and 1.20 WHIP across 89.1 innings this season. Olson will look for a little better luck and some more run support in his next scheduled start, which is penciled in for Friday against the Reds. Rotowire.com Today, 6:01 am
     
  • Rehab assignment coming
    Mahle (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Mahle is scheduled to throw a bullpen session a Camden Yards this weekend, per Texas manager Bruce Bochy, prior to joining Round Rock. If all goes well, the right-hander could be part of the Rangers' rotation by the beginning of August. Mahle is working his way back from Tommy John surgery he underwent last May.

  • Griffin Canning gives up five runs in no-decision
    Griffin Canning was charged with five runs (four earned) over six innings on Saturday in a no-decision against the Tigers.

    Advice: Canning surrendered six hits, including a two-run homer to light-hitting backstop Jake Rogers in the sixth inning, which put him on the hook for a potential loss until the Angels’ offense bailed him out in the late innings. He struck out four and also issued a pair of walks. The 28-year-old righty has shown some flashes of fantasy upside over the last few years, but hasn’t quite put it all together. He’ll bring a pedestrian 4.71 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 63/32 K/BB ratio across 93 2/3 innings (17 starts) into a challenging road matchup on Friday against the Cubs. Rotoworld Today, 3:32 am
     
  • Reese Olson strikes out nine Saturday vs. Angels
    Reese Olson struck out nine and allowed two runs over six innings on Saturday in a no-decision against the Angels.

    Advice: Olson gave up a pair of early runs in the third inning on a wild pitch and a run-scoring ground out from Willie Calhoun, but managed to escape the frame without any further damage. The 24-year-old righty went on to silence Los Angeles’ lineup, generating 15 swinging strikes — including 10 on his slider alone — into the middle innings before Detroit’s bullpen wound up surrendering a late lead. He’ll been on a roll lately, allowing two earned runs or fewer in three consecutive starts since June 17. He’ll bring a 3.32 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 81/26 K/BB ratio across 89 1/3 innings (16 starts) into a road matchup on Saturday against the Reds in his penultimate outing prior to the All-Star break.
