    • Walks four in no-decision
      Elder didn't factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks against the Guardians. He struck out two.

      Advice: Elder came back to earth after a dominant 2024 debut where he held the Marlins scoreless in 6.2 innings. He walked at least four batters for the ninth time in 42 career appearances but was able to keep Cleveland from notching a single extra-base hit. Elder is tentatively scheduled for a start against the Dodgers in LA on Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:30 pm
       
    • Austin Gomber gives up four runs in loss to Astros
      Austin Gomber yielded four runs in seven innings Sunday to take a loss to the Astros in Mexico City.

      Advice: Considering that the pitching environment in Mexico City is typically significantly worse than in Coors Field, this is a solid enough showing for Gomber. That he has a 4.50 ERA after six starts is a nice surprise, particularly since he seemed totally lost while posting a 9.95 ERA this spring. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:26 pm
       
    • Coughs up three home runs
      Gomber (0-2) yielded four runs on six hits over seven innings Sunday, striking out two and taking a loss against the Astros.

      Advice: While Sunday's contest wasn't at Coors Field, it certainly played like a regular home game for Gomber. Houston took him deep three times, though all were solo shots. On the bright side, he retired 11 of the last 12 batters he faced despite forcing only four swinging strikes on 79 pitches. Gomber will carry a 4.50 ERA into his next outing, which is lined up to be in Pittsburgh next weekend. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:17 pm
       
    • Dane Dunning strikes out 10 in 69-pitch victory
      Dane Dunning yielded two runs — one earned — in 5 1/3 innings and struck out 10 against the Reds in a win Sunday.

      Advice: Dunning threw just 69 pitches, which is the fourth-lowest total in a 10-strikeout game since pitch-count data became complete in 1988. The lowest total is 55 pitches in 3 2/3 innings of relief work by Tyler Alexander in 2020. Norm Charlton struck out 10 in a 67-pitch start in 1989, and Chris Sale fanned 12 on just 68 pitches for the Red Sox six years ago. Dunning moved to 3-2 with a 4.13 ERA. He’ll be a decent play versus the Royals next time out. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:42 pm
       
    • Throws bullpen session
      Javier (neck) threw a bullpen session Sunday, Brian McTaggart of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The right-hander landed on the injured list last Sunday with neck discomfort, but it's encouraging he's back on the mound a week later. Javier will be eligible to be activated during next weekend's three game series versus the Mariners, though it remains to be seen if he's game-ready at that point.

    • Punches out 10 in win
      Dunning (3-2) earned the win after he pitched 5.1 innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits while striking out 10 in Sunday's 4-3 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Dunning was able to get back into the win column for the first time since April 12, recording a season-high 10 punchouts in the process. The right-hander tossed five scoreless frames before ultimately being tagged with a pair of runs, one of which was unearned, in the top of the sixth. Dunning also avoided giving up a home run in the outing, making it his first start in 2024 during which he was able to do so. The 29-year-old now owns a 4.13 ERA, and he's tentatively set to be back on the mound Saturday in Kansas City. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:22 pm
       
    • Elder struggles with command in no decision
      Bryce Elder allowed two runs on four hits with four walks and two strikeouts in a no-decision against the Guardians on Sunday.

      Advice: Elder was not particularly sharp with any of his off-speed pitches and didn’t register a single whiff with his sinker, so it was a tough pairing today. He was able to pound the strike zone with his sinker but he had just a 15 percent whiff rate overall on the day as hitters opted not to chase many of his breaking offerings. His arsenal of pitches remains underwhelming and it’s hard to start him against the Dodgers next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:57 pm
       
    • Rocked in third loss
      Ross (1-3) took the loss Saturday against the Yankees after he gave up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits and three walks in five innings. He struck out five.

      Advice: Ross continued his boom-or-bust tendencies Saturday, as he's given up six earned runs in two starts and three earned runs combined in his other three outings. The veteran right-hander likely has some security in Milwaukee's rotation with Wade Miley (elbow) out for the season and Jakob Junis (shoulder) and DL Hall (knee) also on the shelf, but Ross has a 5.40 ERA and 1.68 WHIP through five starts and is a volatile fantasy option.

    • Surrenders six runs Saturday
      Civale allowed six runs on eight hits and no walks while striking out three batters over 4.1 innings in a no-decision against the White Sox on Saturday.

      Advice: Civale made it through three scoreless frames before serving up an Andrew Benintendi three-run homer in the fourth. The right-hander returned for the fifth frame but gave up three straight hits for another run before departing with one out, and both runners he left on base later came around to score. Civale began the campaign with three quality starts among his first four appearances, but he's fallen off since then, yielding 11 runs across nine innings over his subsequent two starts. He'll try to get back on track in his next start, which is tentatively lined up to be a home outing against the Mets next week. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:23 pm
