  • No mound progression yet
    Whitlock (oblique) has not thrown off a mound yet in his recovery, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Whitlock has been on the 15-day injured list with an oblique injury since April 17, but he doesn't appear to be nearing a return quite yet. Manager Alex Cora said Sunday that the right-hander is "feeling better" but he "still feels it" in regards to his left oblique strain, barring the 27-year-old from progressing with any mound work. Chase Anderson was asked to start Thursday against the Guardians and with Whitlock still unavailable, Anderson could stay in the rotation for the time being. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

  • Pitches into ninth versus Tampa Bay
    Fedde (2-0) earned the win after he pitched 8.1 innings, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out nine batters in Sunday's 4-2 victory over the Rays.

    Advice: Fedde tossed three scoreless innings before he surrendered a solo homer to Isaac Paredes in the top of the fourth frame. He later allowed another run in the top of the ninth when attempting to finish off the complete game, exiting with a runner on second and one out in the final inning. The 31-year-old has now recorded back-to-back quality starts while he's given up just three total runs over 22 innings in his last three outings. Fedde will carry a 2.60 ERA into his next projected start Friday in St. Louis. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Marcus Stroman can’t survive fifth versus Brewers
    Marcus Stroman yielded four runs and five walks in four-plus innings Sunday against the Brewers.

    Advice: Stroman kept pitching out of trouble early, but the fifth started with a walk, an infield single, an RBI double, a three-run homer and another walk before he was finally pulled. In all, Stroman allowed six hits, walked five and hit a batter. He seems pretty lucky to have a 3.69 ERA through six starts. Last year, he had a 3.95 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP with just nine homers allowed in 136 2/3 innings. His WHIP is 1.43 at the moment, and he’s given up five homers in 31 2/3 innings.

  • Tobias Myers gives up two homers to Yankees
    Making his second big-league start, Tobias Myers gave up four runs in five innings Sunday against the Yankees.

    Advice: Myers struck out five and walked none, but homers from Aaron Judge and Anthony Volpe did him in. It’s likely that he’ll remain in the Brewers rotation for now and make a third start next weekend versus the Cubs. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago
     
  • Struggles early against Texas
    Abbott (1-3) was tagged with the loss after he pitched 5.1 innings, allowing four runs on six hits while striking out seven in Sunday's 4-3 defeat to the Rangers.

    Advice: Abbott struggled early, surrendering a pair of two-run home runs in the first inning, including an inside-the-park homer to Wyatt Langford, which gave the Rangers a 4-0 lead. The left-hander was able to settle down after the difficult first frame, tossing 4.1 scoreless innings to end his outing. Abbott entered Sunday having given up two or fewer runs in each of his five starts in 2024, but he'll now carry a 3.27 ERA into his next projected start Saturday at home versus the Orioles.

  • Garrett Whitlock (oblique) not throwing off mound
    Red Sox’ manager Alex Cora told reporters on Sunday that Garrett Whitlock (oblique) has yet to be cleared to throw off of a mound.

    Advice: Cora noted that Whitlock is still feeling his oblique issue a bit, and while he has been playing catch, he’s not quite ready for a throwing progression. There remains no clear timetable for his return to the Red Sox’ rotation. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago

  • Bello expected back “sooner rather than later”
    Red Sox’ skipper Alex Cora told reporters on Sunday that Brayan Bello (lat) is making great progress in his recovery and is expected back “sooner rather than later”.

    Advice: That certainly qualifies as an encouraging update for the injured right-hander. It’s unclear if Bello will require a minor league rehab start or not before rejoining the Red Sox rotation, but it’s sounding like he could be ready to be activated from the injured list when first eligible, or shortly after.

  • José Quintana gets through eight against Cardinals
    José Quintana surrendered only run and three hits over eight innings Sunday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Quintana hadn’t lasted longer than 5 2/3 innings in any of his five starts this season before getting through eight against the feeble Cardinals today. This lowers his ERA to 3.48, but we wouldn’t trust him as a mixed-league guy right now. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago
     
  • Lance Lynn holds Mets to one run in no-decision
    Lance Lynn allowed one run over five innings Sunday in a no-decision versus the Mets.

    Advice: Lynn struck out three and walked three today. He has a 2.64 ERA, but he’s doing it with his worst strikeout rate since 2017 and his highest walk rate since 2018. Odds are that he’s going to have some difficulties going forward. Rotoworld 58 minutes ago
