  • J.P. Feyereisen records save for Dodgers
    J.P. Feyereisen earned his first career save by pitching a scoreless 10th with a two-run lead against the Giants on Monday.

    Advice: Feyereisen is far from the Dodgers’ most trusted reliever at the moment, but there wasn’t much available after the Dodgers used their top four options in the sixth through the ninth tonight. To his credit, Feyereisen did just fine, even preventing the automatic runner from scoring. He’s given up six runs and amassed a 7/5 K/BB ratio in seven innings this season.

  • Jordan Hicks strong for six against Dodgers
    Jordan Hicks pitched five innings of two-run ball before being lifted against the Dodgers on Monday.

    Advice: Walks have been a problem for Hicks of late, but he issued none against a patient Dodgers lineup tonight. He struck out four, and he went a sixth straight start without giving a homer. His ERA stands at 2.44 after nine starts. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:42 pm
     
  • Umimpressive in no-decision
    Liberatore allowed four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out one batter over 3.1 innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Monday.

    Advice: Liberatore hurled two scoreless frames before the Angels tagged him for four runs in the third, with the final two tallies coming on a Kevin Pillar two-run homer. The southpaw departed in line for the loss, but St. Louis' offense eventually heated up to take him off the hook. This was Liberatore's second start of the season, and it came primarily as a result of Steven Matz landing on the injured list due to a back injury. Matz isn't expected back soon, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Cardinals put Liberatore back in the bullpen given his poor results Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:35 pm
     
  • Gives up five runs in loss
    Vasquez (0-2) allowed five runs on eight hits and a walk while failing to strike out a batter over 3.2 innings, taking the loss Monday versus the Rockies.

    Advice: Vasquez gave up four of those runs in the fourth inning and was ultimately relieved by Adrian Morejon. Aside from his start versus the Cubs last Tuesday, Vasquez has posted mostly mediocre outings at the major-league level this year. He's at a 6.32 ERA, 1.79 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB through 15.2 innings across four starts. If Joe Musgrove (elbow) returns from the injured list when first eligible Friday, Vasquez could lose his place on the 26-man roster. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:26 pm
     
  • Secures another save
    Beeks walked three batters in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Monday's 5-4 win over the Padres.

    Advice: Beeks has earned a save in four of his last five appearances, including three saves in the last four days. The southpaw has permitted multiple baserunners in back-to-back games, but he continues to dance around trouble. Beeks has four saves, one hold, a 2.21 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP over 20.1 innings this season. He's also sporting a 14:11 K:BB, which casts serious doubt on how long he'll be able to find success in high-leverage situations. Justin Lawrence, who doesn't have a save in May, worked a two-inning assignment and picked up a hold Monday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:19 pm
     
  • Picks up first win
    Hudson (1-6) allowed three runs on three hits and three walks while striking out three over 5.2 innings to earn the win Monday over the Padres.

    Advice: Hudson lost six of his first seven starts with the Rockies, but he was able to get in the win column Monday. While this was a road start, he gave up multiple home runs for the first time this year -- Xander Bogaerts tagged him for a solo shot in the second inning and Jurickson Profar added a two-run blast in the sixth. Hudson is now at a 6.13 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 23:25 K:BB through 39.2 innings this season. He's projected to make his next start on the road in San Francisco. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:16 pm
     
  • Takes seventh loss
    Stripling (1-7) took the loss against Houston on Monday, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and two walks while striking out one batter over five innings.

    Advice: Stripling was efficient in the outing, needing just 52 pitches to get through five frames. However, he was pulled before the sixth inning despite the low pitch count and despite retiring the final five batters he faced, and a fourth-inning solo homer he served up to Alex Bregman ended up being the deciding factor in sending him to his MLB-high seventh loss. Stripling at least managed to improve from a horrific outing his previous trip to the mound, when he gave up 11 runs (five earned) over 1.2 innings against Texas.

  • Alexis Díaz blows save, gets loss vs. Diamondbacks
    Alexis Díaz blew a save while picking up a loss Monday by allowing two runs and getting just one out Monday against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: The Díaz experience in 2024 has been interesting, to say the least, and probably is too kind of a description. The right-hander threw 9-of-21 pitches for strikes while issuing a pair of walks, and he gave up a two-run single to blow his second save and pick up his second loss. It seems likely that Díaz will remain the closer, but this does not look like the strong option that he was in 2023. Not yet, anyway. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:06 pm
     
  • Dakota Hudson gives up two homers, wins anyway
    Dakota Hudson notched his first win Monday after allowing three runs in 5 2/3 innings against the Padres.

    Advice: Hudson had a 3/3 K/BB ratio and gave up two homers, but he’s now on the board after going 0-6 in his first seven starts. The win was his first since he allowed five runs in five innings against the Braves while pitching for the Cardinals last Sept. 6. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:52 pm
