  • Padres transfer Luis Patiño to 60-day IL
    Padres transferred RHP Luis Patiño to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: The procedural move was made earlier this week to open up a spot on San Diego’s 40-man roster. The 24-year-old former top prospect underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery earlier this month. Rotoworld 13 minutes ago
     
  • Rangers option Cole Winn to Triple-A
    Rangers optioned RHP Cole Winn to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: Winn was shipped back to the minors earlier this week by the Rangers with Dane Dunning returning from the injured list. The 24-year-old righty struggled in 11 relief appearances after being called up back in mid-April. Rotoworld 17 minutes ago

  • Jalen Beeks blows another save Thursday
    Jalen Beeks blew his second save in as many days against the Athletics on Thursday.

    Advice: Beeks started the ninth inning with a one-run lead and immediately gave it up by allowing a home run to Athletics outfield Daz Cameron. He’s now converted just four of his seven opportunities for saves. The 30-year-old left-hander’s grip on the closer role in Colorado seems tenuous at best. Rotoworld Today, 4:02 pm
     
  • Twins option Caleb Boushley to Triple-A
    Twins optioned RHP Caleb Boushley to Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: Boushley heads back to the minors ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Rangers. The 30-year-old righty made just one relief appearance in his brief stint with the Twins. Rotoworld Today, 3:48 pm
     
  • Takes sixth loss
    Heaney (0-6) took the loss Thursday against the Phillies, allowing four runs (three earned) on nine hits and two walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out one.

    Advice: Heaney held the Phillies scoreless until J.T. Realmuto's leadoff homer in the third inning before they'd tack on three more runs in the fourth. It was ultimately another tough outing for the left-hander, who's failed to make it out of the fourth inning in consecutive starts. Heaney's ERA sits at 4.69 with a 1.38 WHIP and 45:13 K:BB across 10 starts (48 innings) this season. He'll be looking for his first win in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week against Arizona. Rotowire.com Today, 3:09 pm

  • Earns fourth save
    Hoffman picked up the save in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Rangers, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

    Advice: Jose Alvarado pitched the eighth inning Thursday, leaving the ninth to Hoffman who'd set down the Rangers in order for his fourth save of the year. The Phillies continue to utilize a high-leverage approach to their bullpen, which has resulted in save opportunities for Hoffman when Alvarado is needed earlier in games. The 31-year-old right-hander has been excellent this year, posting a 1.25 ERA with a 1.02 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB across 21.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 3:03 pm
     
  • Rebounds for 14th save
    Holmes earned the save in Thursday's 5-0 win over Seattle, allowing two hits while striking out a pair in 1.1 innings.

    Advice: Holmes came on in relief in the eighth after Nick Burdi loaded the bases. He'd induce a grounder off the bat of Luke Raley for the final out before working around a pair of singles in the ninth to earn his 14th save. It's a nice bounce-back effort from Holmes, after he allowed four runs in a blown save against Seattle on Monday, the first four runs he's allowed this season. Overall, the 31-year-old right-hander sports a 1.64 ERA with a 1.23 WHIP and 25:6 K:BB across 22 innings this year. Rotowire.com Today, 2:46 pm
     
  • Raisel Iglesias fans two Thursday for 12th save
    Raisel Iglesias fired a perfect ninth inning on Thursday against the Cubs to collect his 12th save of the season.

    Advice: Iglesias received the call to protect a three-run lead in the final frame and required just 12 pitches (nine strikes) to end it. The 34-year-old veteran stopper has been one of the top closers in the entire fantasy landscape this season, converting 12 of 14 save chances to accompany a solid 2.33 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 14/5 K/BB ratio ac ross 19 1/3 innings (20 appearances).

  • Ben Brown tosses four scoreless frames vs. Braves
    Ben Brown tossed four shutout innings on Thursday in a no-decision against the Braves.

    Advice: Brown took the ball on Thursday afternoon at Wrigley Field for a spot start in place of veteran Kyle Hendricks and finished with six strikeouts over four scoreless frames. The 24-year-old righty allowed just one hit and a pair of walks as he induced 10 swinging strikes, with nine of them coming on his curveball, and finished with a pedestrian 27 percent CSW. He’s pitched extremely well this season with a 3.20 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 45/15 K/BB ratio across 39 1/3 innings (12 appearances, five starts). He’ll presumably take the ball on Tuesday against the division-rival Brewers and is worthy of a speculative roster spot in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld Today, 2:40 pm
