    • Camilo Doval closes out Giants on Saturday night
      Camilo Doval slammed the door on the Giants on Saturday night, working a scoreless ninth inning to protect a three-run advantage.

      Advice: The 27-year-old closer got Brendan Rodgers on a called third strike to start the inning, then plunked Kris Bryant to put a man on base. Things got a bit more interesting as Elias Diaz singled to bring the tying run to the plate, but he rallied to get Michael Toglia to bounce into a double play to end it. Doval secured his 19th save of the season for his efforts. His WHIP is still sky-high at 1.60, but Doval remains one of the most dominant closers in all of baseball when he’s going right.

    • Marcus Semien triples, scores twice vs. Blue Jays
      Marcus Semien went 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored against the Blue Jays on Saturday.

      Advice: Semien led off the first inning with a triple off Kevin Gausman and scored on a wild pitch to put the Rangers on the board. He later drew a walk in the third and scored on a double by Wyatt Langford. The 33-year-old second baseman is hitting .246/.319/.407 with 15 homers, 70 runs scored, 53 RBI, and three steals across 464 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 2:42 pm
       
    • Knee infection due to bug bite
      Pepiot told reporters Saturday that he spent 60 hours in the hospital to treat an infection in his right knee due to a bug bite, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

      Advice: Pepiot was placed on the 15-day injured list Sunday due to a right knee infection, though the details of that injury didn't surface until Saturday. He told reporters that the bug bite caused his knee to swell up "like the size of a softball... I couldn't put any weight on my leg." Pepiot is slated to throw up to 25 pitches off the mound Saturday, and how his knee reacts after the session will determine whether the 26-year-old right-hander will need to go on a rehab assignment. Pepiot holds a 6-5 record over his 17 starts this season with a 3.92 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 94:31 K:BB across 87.1 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 11:55 am

    • Ryan Pepiot (knee) throwing bullpen on Saturday
      Ryan Pepiot (knee) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday.

      Advice: Pepiot told Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Florida that the right knee infection that sent him to the injured list last weekend was the result of a bug bite, likely a spider, which caused his knee to swell to “the size of a softball.” Yikes. The 26-year-old right-hander, who spent over two days in the hospital receiving treatment, is probably going to need at least one minor league rehab start before returning to Tampa Bay’s starting rotation mix in early August.

    • Swats 13th homer
      Burger went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Brewers.

      Advice: The slugger took Freddy Peralta deep in the first inning, helping the Marlins jump out to a 3-0 lead they never relinquished. Burger entered July with a disappointing ,601 OPS, but his bat has heated up with the weather -- in 19 games this month he's slashing .278/.333/.569 with six of his 13 homers on the season.

    • Gets little help in loss
      Stone (9-4) took the loss Friday as the Dodgers fell 5-0 to the Astros, giving up four runs on nine hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out three.

      Advice: The Los Angeles offense couldn't get anything going against Framber Valdez and the Houston bullpen, but Stone didn't help his cause by serving up long balls to Alex Bregman and Jon Singleton. The right-hander managed to last six innings for the first time in four July starts, but his 6.27 ERA, 1.93 WHIP and 12:5 K:BB through 18.2 innings on the month are still rough. His spot in the rotation is safe for now, but once Walker Buehler (hip) is ready to return, Stone could be fighting for one job with River Ryan and Justin Wrobleski, and that's before considering any trade deadline additions for the team. Stone is scheduled to make his next start on the road next weekend in Oakland. Rotowire.com Today, 6:38 am
       
    • Logs pinch-hit RBI
      Abreu entered Friday's game as a pinch hitter and went 1-for-1 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in a 9-7 win over the Yankees.

      Advice: Abreu was one of several Boston batters to come up with a key hit late that turned New York's 7-4 lead into a Red Sox win. He doubled in a run as a pinch hitter for Tyler O'Neill in the eighth inning and scored one batter later on Masataka Yoshida's two-run single. An inning earlier, Ceddanne Rafaela hit a two-run blast to shift momentum. Abreu is strictly a platoon player and is batting .281 with an .863 OPS against righties. He should return to the starting lineup Saturday against right-hander Marcus Stroman. Rotowire.com Today, 6:06 am

    • Nearing return to mound work
      Pepiot (knee) plans to throw off a mound either Saturday or early next week, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Pepiot suffered a knee infection in the latter portions of the All-Star break and was briefly in the hospital for treatment. He's feeling much better and seems to be on track for a quick return from the injured list, though the team has not committed to activating him immediately when eligible. Rotowire.com Today, 6:03 am

    • Another sim game scheduled
      Kelly (shoulder) is scheduled to throw a simulated game Sunday, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Kelly, who tossed a two-inning sim game Thursday, is slowly ramping up for a potential return in the first half of August. It's been a long slog for the right-hander, who landed on the injured list in April. A rehab assignment is certain; the only question being the number of starts Kelly will need.
