  • Suffers second loss
    Slaten (2-2) was charged with Saturday's loss to the Cardinals. He allowed five runs (four earned) on five hits while striking out one over one inning.

    Advice: Slaten handed back momentum a half inning after Boston tied the game, 2-2, in the top of the eighth. As sharp as Slaten was during April (0.52 ERA), he's been ineffective in May (10.80). The right-hander, who has two losses and a blown save in the last five appearances, has given up nine runs (eight earned) on 13 hits over 6.2 innings this month. Rotowire.com Today, 7:27 am
     
  • Earns win in extras
    Rodriguez (1-0) picked up Saturday's win in extra innings over the Angels. He walked one and struck out one over two scoreless innings.

    Advice: The Rangers received seven innings of one-run ball out of the bullpen, including the final two from Rodriguez. The right-hander has put together six scoreless frames over his last two outings. Rotowire.com Today, 6:55 am
     
  • Set to rejoin rotation
    Snell (thigh) is expected to be activated from the 15-day injured list and make his next start for the Giants, likely Wednesday against the Pirates, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: The veteran left-hander made his second rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, and he's apparently ready to rejoin the Giants after he struck out 10 over five scoreless frames. Snell didn't give up a run across his two rehab outings, which is an encouraging development after he posted an 11.57 ERA in his first three MLB starts of the campaign after signing late in spring training.

  • Dominant in first win
    Buehler (1-1) earned the win over the Reds on Saturday, striking out seven over six shutout innings while allowing three hits.

    Advice: Buehler looked like his old self for the first time since returning from the injured list, allowing just one single over the first four innings and one extra-base hit on the night while posting a season-high seven strikeouts. The right-hander hadn't gone more than four innings in either of his previous two starts to open the campaign and had also allowed at least one home run in each of those outings. However, Buehler might have found his groove Saturday as he managed to get through six frames on just 78 pitches while also allowing just three hits, which marked a season low.

  • Allows three runs in loss
    Ashcraft (3-3) was tagged with the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing three runs on three hits and three walks over five innings while striking out five.

    Advice: Ashcraft retired nine of the first 10 batters he faced in the contest but struggled with his command throughout, needing 44 pitches to get through the first two innings. The Dodgers would finally get to him in the fourth after the right-hander walked two of the first three batters to open the frame, eventually leading to two runs coming home for Los Angeles. It marked the third consecutive start in which Ashcraft has allowed three runs and the third time in a row that he's failed to make it through six innings. Additionally, he's now walked three batters in three straight outings and hasn't won a start since April 20 against the Angels (span of five starts). Rotowire.com Today, 6:26 am
     
  • Throws three relief innings
    Spiers allowed one run on three hits while striking out three over three relief innings in Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: Spiers was called up from Triple-A Louisville on Friday after the Reds added Justin Wilson (shoulder) to the injured list. A starter in the minors, Spiers' length came in handy for the Reds, whose offense showed little pushback or comeback potential against Los Angeles right-hander Walker Buehler.

  • Excels in low-leverage role
    Martinez allowed one hit and one walk over a scoreless third of an inning in Saturday's 8-3 loss to Detroit.

    Advice: Martinez has been effective in a low-leverage role out of the bullpen, allowing just one run with 16 strikeouts over 13 innings (0.69 ERA). He's managed to work around 10 walks, which is something that could turn against him at some point, but the right-hander's splitter (46.9 whiff percentage) and slider (50 percent) have been untouchable.
