  • Trevor Richards goes two scoreless as opener
    Trevor Richards tossed 2 1/3 scoreless innings with one strikeout in a no-decision against the Guardians on Saturday.

    Advice: Richards took the mound as the opener in Saturday’s contest against the Guardians. He tossed a scoreless first inning, working around a leadoff single in the second, and recorded the first out in the third before he was replaced at 31 pitches. The 31-year-old right-hander has been excellent out of the bullpen for Toronto, posting a 3.09 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and a 34/15 K/BB ratio across 35 innings. Rotoworld Today, 2:37 pm

  • Andre Pallante gives up two runs in brief outing
    Andre Pallante was charged with two runs (one earned) over 3 1/3 innings on Saturday in a loss to the Cubs.

    Advice: Pallante turned in a perfect opening frame before engineering a masterful escape after giving up back-to-back hits to open the second inning. He got into trouble in the fourth inning after giving up consecutive hits to open the frame and was lifted for reliever Chris Roycroft after striking out Ian Happ and wound up being charged with a pair of runs following his departure. He struck out four and didn’t hand out a free pass. The 25-year-old righty figures to continue operating in a swingman-type role for the Cardinals moving forward. Rotoworld Today, 1:50 pm

    Advice: The 29-year-old hurler was jettisoned off of the Brewers’ 40-man roster earlier in the week, but he passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra bullpen depth for the team at the Triple-A level. Rotoworld Today, 1:35 pm
