  • Medina allows four runs in loss to Twins Thursday
    Luis Medina allowed four runs in five innings and took the loss against the Twins on Thursday.

    Advice: Medina gave up eight hits, walked one and struck out three. He’s 0-2 with a 5.87 ERA in three starts with Oakland this year. Medina is off the fantasy radar. The 25-year-old right-hander is set to face the Royals at home next week.

  • Scott blows second save against Mets Thursday
    Tanner Scott allowed two runs and blew the save against the Mets on Thursday.

    Advice: Scott came into the ninth inning with a one-run lead on the road. He walked Francisco Lindor before striking out Brandon Nimmo. Then J.D. Martinez got him for a walk-off two-run home run. It was just his second blown save of the season. His last blown save was on April 14th against Atlanta. Scott’s ERA is now 1.93. He has eight saves and five wins with the Marlins this year.

  • Pirates outright Ben Heller to Triple-A
    Pirates sent RHP Ben Heller outright to Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: Heller passed through waivers unclaimed and will presumably stick around with Pittsburgh as emergency organizational relief depth. The 32-year-old righty has been torched for a staggering 12 runs (11 earned) over two innings of work in a pair of relief outings this season for the Pirates. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:39 pm
     
  • Andrew Kittredge gets first save for Cardinals
    Andrew Kittredge recorded his first save as a Cardinal by pitching a scoreless ninth Thursday versus the Pirates.

    Advice: Ryan Helsley had this one off after throwing 39 pitches the previous two days, and Kittredge got the nod over Jojo Romero in his place. Kittredge has a 3.60 ERA in 30 innings out of the St. Louis bullpen. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:57 pm
     
  • Bounces back
    Kopech struck out two and walked one without allowing a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday against the Mariners.

    Advice: Kopech imploded to allow three earned runs and blow a lead in an appearance Monday, but he managed to bounce back in this outing. He entered the game with the score tied at 1-1 and turned in just his third scoreless effort in his last five appearances. Kopech remains the White Sox's primary closer, though his last save came on May 15. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:43 am
     
  • Impressively strikes out side
    Robertson earned his 13th hold in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers. He struck out all three batters faced in the eighth inning.

    Advice: The Rangers were nursing a 3-1 lead when Robertson entered to start the eighth, and the right-hander was impressive, striking out Mookie Betts, Shohei Ohtani and Freddie Freeman (all swinging). The 39-year-old Robertson has a 3.30 ERA and 1.03 WHIP with 43 strikeouts over 30 innings as he continues to operate as the setup man to closer Kirby Yates. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:40 am
     
  • Receives injection for back
    Munoz had an MRI and bone scan on his back come back clean, but he received an injection Tuesday to address the lingering soreness, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Advice: The right-hander last pitched Sunday in Kansas City and has made just two appearances in June while battling through the back issue. Munoz hasn't officially been declared unavailable, but the Mariners may try to stay away from him for another day or two as he recovers. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:10 pm
     
  • Nails down eighth save
    Scott struck out three over two perfect innings Tuesday to record his eighth save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Mets.

    Advice: The lefty fired 22 of 31 pitches for strikes in perhaps his most impressive performance of the season. Scott hasn't allowed a run since the beginning of May and seems to have solved the control issues that plagued him early in the year -- over his 13-appearance scoreless streak he has a 0.73 WHIP and 18:6 K:BB through 15 innings, recording four wins, four saves and a hold.

  • Tanner Scott gets two-inning save
    Tanner Scott pitched two scoreless innings, striking out three to secure his eighth save in a 4-2 win over the Mets on Tuesday.

    Advice: Scott was brought in to face the heart of the Mets order in the eighth inning and then stayed in to close out the game after the Marlins gave him an extra run of cushion in the top of the ninth. The left-hander has now walked six batters and struck out eighteen in 15 innings since the start of May. That hasn’t led to many saves with Miami not producing many wins, but Scott has seemed to put his early season control issues behind him. For now. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:58 pm
