  • Breaks homer drought
    Freeman went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Toronto.

    Advice: Freeman homered for the second time all season -- his first round-tripper since March 28 -- and extended his hit streak to eight games. He's logged at least one RBI in seven of those contests (11 total) with a .444 batting average. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago
     
  • Perfect for fourth save
    Romano earned the save Sunday against the Dodgers, striking out two over a perfect ninth inning.

    Advice: Romano converted on his fourth straight save attempt to start the campaign, pitching his second perfect inning in six appearances. After missing the first few weeks of the season with an elbow injury, Romano has shown no rust, owning a 3.18 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP through 5.2 frames. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Cruises to ninth save
    Finnegan walked one in a scoreless ninth to pick up the save during Sunday's 12-9 victory over the Marlins. He struck out one.

    Advice: Finnegan needed 21 pitches to finish the game but kept things clean to match the league-lead with his ninth save in 10 opportunities. He lowered his ERA to 2.19 with a 0.97 WHIP and 11 strikeouts over 12.1 innings. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Shuts down Dodgers
    Gausman (1-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on five hits and no walks across seven innings against the Dodgers. He struck out five.

    Advice: The lone run against Gausman came in the sixth inning on a homer by Freddie Freeman. After allowing 12 earned runs in his first three starts (9.1 innings), Gausman has rounded into form with just two earned runs allowed since (18.2 innings). He'll look to keep the ball rolling during a weekend road series against the Nationals. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Roughed up in no-decision
    Weathers did not factor into the decision during Sunday's 12-9 loss to the Nationals, allowing six runs on five hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out three.

    Advice: Weathers also hit three batters, allowing a total of 11 batters to reach base during his four-inning performance. The Marlins jumped out to an early 7-0 lead, which Weathers hung on to maintain through three innings, but a five-run fourth followed by beginning the fifth with his third hit batsman led to his removal from the game as the Nationals overtook the Marlins for good during that frame. Weathers entered the contest with a 3.16 ERA but saw that number balloon to 4.55 by the end of his outing. He'll look to rebound in a favorable matchup, tentatively scheduled to take place next weekend when the Marlins travel to Oakland to take on the A's. Rotowire.com 18 minutes ago
     
  • Struggles as starter
    Grove (0-1) took the loss Sunday, allowing three runs on four hits and no walks against the Blue Jays. He struck out three.

    Advice: Grove led off a bullpen game for the Dodgers and was promptly pulled after a three-run second inning. During the frame, Grove allowed three hits -- including a double to Justin Turner and a solo homer to Alejandro Kirk -- and hit Cavan Biggio with a pitch. Although Grove owns a 6.88 ERA, Sunday's outing marked his first runs allowed since April 5 (7.1 innings). Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago

  • Suffers hand injury in win
    Yoshida exited Sunday's 6-5 win over the Cubs in the sixth inning due to a left hand injury, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Yoshida jammed his left hand on a groundout in his first at-bat in the bottom of the first inning, ultimately leaving the game after the top of the sixth inning. Considering the outfielder was able remain in the game as long as he did and even record a hit in his second at-bat, it's possible that the injury is minor. The team will determine if he needs x-rays during Monday's off day and he can be considered day-to-day for the time being. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

  • Takes extra-inning loss
    Clase (1-1) took the loss Sunday against Atlanta, allowing one unearned run on one hit in 0.1 innings of work.

    Advice: After striking out Ozzie Albies to open up the bottom half of the 10th frame, Clase surrendered a walk-off base hit to Austin Riley to bring home the designated runner. The outing snapped a streak of six consecutive scoreless appearances (six innings) and three straight perfect innings. Still, Clase is tied for the sixth most saves in baseball (8).

  • Encarnacion-Strand (hand) held out of Reds lineup
    Christian Encarnacion-Strand was held out of the Reds’ starting lineup on Sunday after taking a pitch off of his hand during Saturday’s game.

    Advice: Fortunately, X-rays came back negative for any fractures and Encarnacion-Strand isn’t expected to be shelved for long. He should be considered day-to-day heading into next week. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
