  • Clayton Kershaw tabbed for one more simulated game
    Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) is scheduled to throw one more three-inning simulated game before beginning a minor league rehab assignment.

    Advice: Kershaw threw a two-inning simulated game at Single-A Rancho Cucamonga on Friday without any issue, touching 90 mph during the session. If all goes well with his next simulated game, he would then be cleared to start a minor league rehab assignment. He still looks to be on track for a return around the All-Star break.

  • Sharp in return
    Gray allowed one hit and one walk while striking out four over 2.1 scoreless innings in Saturday's 3-1 loss to the Giants.

    Advice: Gray appeared in relief of Andrew Heaney on Saturday in his first appearance since May 21, after he was placed on the IL with a groin strain. The right-hander certainly looked healthy, as he struck out four of the nine batters he faced. Overall, Gray is 2-2 with a 2.12 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 60:18 K:BB across 59.1 innings this year. He's currently scheduled to rejoin the rotation next week on the road versus the Dodgers. Rotowire.com Today, 4:46 pm
     
  • Feltner strikes out seven against Cardinals
    Ryan Feltner allowed four runs (none earned) in 5 1/3 innings and got a no-decision in the Rockies’ 6-5 victory over the Cardinals on Saturday.

    Advice: Feltner gave up two hits, walked one and struck out seven. Back-to-back errors in the sixth inning led to four runs for the Cardinals. Feltner was actually pretty good in this one, but of course the Rockies comeback came after he was already out of the game and he’s still stuck on one win this season. The 27-year-old right-hander will take a 5.74 ERA into his next matchup against the Pirates at home next week. Rotoworld Today, 4:41 pm
     
  • Falls to San Francisco
    Heaney (2-7) took the loss Saturday against the Giants, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk over 5.2 innings. He struck out five.

    Advice: All three of the runs charged to Heaney came off the bat of Heliot Ramos -- the outfielder opened the scoring with a double in the first inning before adding a two-run homer in the third. The 33-year-old Heaney had earned wins in his previous two appearances (one in relief), delivering 8.1 scoreless innings in that span. Overall, he sports a 4.06 ERA with a 1.27 WHIP and 58:15 K:BB across 62 innings this season. Heaney is currently lined up for a road start next week in Seattle, though he could find himself back in the bullpen with Jon Gray returning from the IL. Rotowire.com Today, 4:40 pm

  • Gibson allows three in no-decision Saturday
    Kyle Gibson allowed three runs in six innings and got a no-decision against the Rockies on Saturday.

    Advice: Gibson gave up eight hits, walked two and struck out seven. He was in line for the win before the Rockies scored three runs against the Cardinals bullpen in the seventh inning. The Cardinals bullpen also cost him a win in his last start. Gibson has been consistently good lately as he’s allowed more than three runs in only one of his last 10 starts. The 36-year-old right-hander is set to face the Cubs on the road next week.

  • Freddy Peralta struggles with command Saturday
    Freddy Peralta struggled with his command in a no-decision against the Tigers on Saturday afternoon, giving up four runs (three earned) on four hits and five walks in just 3 1/3 innings of work.

    Advice: The right-hander struck out three batters on the day. He had to really labor to get 10 outs in the ballgame, needing 94 pitches (56 strikes) to do so. Most of the damage came during a three-run uprising in the second inning as Carson Kelly and Mark Canha contributed run-scoring singles. Peralta got just five swings and misses in the contest, posting an underwhelming CSW of only 24 percent. He’ll attempt to bounce back as he carries a 3.95 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and a 92/26 K/BB ratio (70 2/3 innings) into Friday’s matchup against the Reds. Rotoworld Today, 4:24 pm
     
  • Casey Mize suffers fourth defeat on Saturday
    Casey Mize suffered his fourth defeat of the season on Saturday, giving up five runs (three earned) on eight hits over 5 1/3 innings against the Brewers.

    Advice: The 27-year-old hurler also issued a pair of walks on the day while recording only one strikeout. The Brewers scratched out a run against him in the opening inning then tacked on two more in the third on a sacrifice fly and an RBI ground out. He then exited with two men on and one out in the fifth inning — and both inherited runners ultimately came around to score. Mize impossibly got just one swing and miss on 97 pitches in the ballgame, registering a CSW of 26 percent. Now 1-4 on the season, he’ll tote a 4.73 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and a 39/18 K/BB ratio (59 innings) into Friday’s matchup against the Astros in Houston. Rotoworld Today, 4:24 pm

  • Kevin Gausman whiffs ten in complete game shutout
    Kevin Gausman struck out ten in a complete-game shutout of the Athletics on Saturday for the win.

    Advice: Gausman was outstanding on Saturday, shutting out the A’s in a complete game, his first of his 12-year career. He scattered five hits and walked one batter while striking out ten on 17 whiffs. The 33-year-old right-hander will take a 4.00 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and a 69/16 K/BB ratio across 69 2/3 innings into a start against the Guardians in Toronto on Friday. Rotoworld Today, 4:20 pm
     
  • Luis Medina gives up six runs in loss to Blue Jays
    Luis Medina surrendered six runs with one strikeout over 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday.

    Advice: Medina struggled to find the zone in the opening frame, walking the bases loaded before Danny Jansen brought a run in on a sacrifice fly. He was able to escape the inning with just the one run scored and tossed three more scoreless innings until he unraveled in the fifth. Kevin Kiermaier led off with a solo homer before three doubles, a walk, and a base hit made it six runs on Medina. He’d be pulled with two outs in the inning, ending his day with a 5.23 ERA,, 1.35 WHIP, and a 7/7 K/BB ratio across 10 1/3 innings. He’s currently in line for a matchup against the Twins in Minnesota on Thursday. Rotoworld Today, 4:19 pm
