    • Gives up two homers in loss
      Brown (1-3) went four innings, allowing three runs on three hits while striking out three in Saturday's loss to the Reds.

      Advice: Brown gave up multiple home runs in a game for the first time in his young career. Jeimer Candelario took him deep in the first inning and then T.J. Friedl got him for the go-ahead homer in the third. The rookie right-hander has now given up eight runs in his last two starts after a stellar showing of seven no-hit innings vs the Brewers on May 28th. Brown will take a 3.58 ERA into his next start, currently slated vs the Cardinals on Friday. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago

    • Pilfers two bags in loss
      Duran went 0-for-3 with two walks and two stolen bases in Saturday's 6-1 loss to the White Sox.

      Advice: The 27-year-old did his job as the leadoff man, but the hitters in the three spots behind him in the order went a combined 0-for-11 on the afternoon. Duran came into this series in Chicago having failed to steal a bag in 14 straight games, but he's swiped three in the last two contests to give him 14 on the season. He's also slashing .263/.331/.451 on the year with five homers, 27 RBI and 39 runs in 65 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 6:06 pm
       
    • Stumbles against ChiSox
      Bello (6-3) took the loss Saturday as the Red Sox fell 6-1 to the White Sox, giving up five runs on nine hits and three walks over 4.2 innings. He struck out two.

      Advice: Only two of the hits off the right-hander went for extra bases, but one of those was a grand slam by Gavin Sheets in the fifth inning. Bello has been tagged for at least three runs in five straight starts, a stretch in which he's stumbled to a 6.75 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 24:12 K:BB over 26.2 innings. He'll look to turn things around in his next outing, which is scheduled to come at home next weekend against the Yankees. Rotowire.com Today, 6:01 pm
       
    • Bello gives up five runs, grand slam Saturday
      Brayan Bello allowed five runs in 4 2/3 innings and took the loss against the White Sox on Saturday.

      Advice: Bello gave up nine hits, walked three and struck out two. Things came apart for Bello in the fifth inning when he walked two batters with two outs to load the bases before Gavin Sheets took him deep for a grand slam. Understandably frustrated, Bello slammed his glove in the dugout after he was removed from the game. That’s been the tale of Bello’s season so far as he has just a 70 percent left on base percentage. His ERA is inflated at 4.78 while his xFIP paints a different picture at 3.66. The 25-year-old right-hander is set to face the Yankees at home next week. Rotoworld Today, 5:09 pm
       
    • Takes loss versus Royals
      Castillo (5-7) took the loss to the Royals on Saturday, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk while striking out four over five innings.

      Advice: Castillo had a tough outing as he gave up a season-high five runs in his seventh loss of the season. His offense gave him the lead two separate times Saturday, but he gave it back each time as he snapped a streak of 10 straight starts allowing two earned runs or fewer. Castillo remains one of the more consistent and durable starters in baseball, he's gone at least five innings in all of his 14 starts and will take a 3.35 ERA into his next outing.

    • Brown allows three runs in four innings Saturday
      Ben Brown allowed three runs in four innings and took the loss against the Reds on Saturday.



      Advice: Brown gave up three hits, walked one and struck out three. He allowed five runs in his last start, which was also against the Reds. Brown has completed five innings in only three of his eight starts for the Cubs this year. He’s still looking for his first win as a starting pitcher. Outside of his performance on May 28th against the Brewers when he went seven innings, allowed no runs and recorded 10 strikeouts, Brown’s been fairly pedestrian when starting. The 24-year-old right-hander is tentatively scheduled to face the Cardinals at home next week.

    • Luis Castillo struggles in loss to Royals
      Luis Castillo gave up five runs over five innings while allowing four strikeouts against the Royals on Saturday in a loss.

      Advice: Castillo allowed six hits and issued a walk while striking out four. It was easily his worst start since April, as the 31-year-old had gone 10 straight starts while allowing no more than three runs, and only one of those outings saw him give up more than two. It happens. Castillo still has a healthy 3.35 ERA on the season over 14 efforts, and he gets to face the lowly White Sox next week. Rotoworld Today, 3:34 pm
       
    • Sitting down Saturday
      Haniger isn't in the Mariners' lineup Saturday versus the Royals.

      Advice: Haniger will get a breather Saturday after going 1-for-4 with three RBI and a run scored during Friday's loss. Mitch Garver will instead serve as Seattle's DH and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 1:04 pm
       
    • Andrés Muñoz available in relief this weekend
      Andrés Muñoz (back) is available for Saturday’s game against the Royals.

      Advice: Muñoz has been dealing with a back strain that he tweaked during an on-field collision earlier this week and appears ready to return this weekend after getting through a couple bullpen sessions without any issues. Rotoworld Today, 11:56 am
