  • Up to 15 saves
    Clase earned the save in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Mets, working around a hit in a scoreless ninth inning.

    Advice: Clase's now pitched three consecutive days while locking down saves in back-to-back outings. He'd allow a one-out single to Francisco Lindor on Tuesday before inducing a game-ending double play off the bat of Pete Alonso. Clase lowered his ERA to a pristine 0.36 with a 0.59 WHIP and 24:2 K:BB across 25.1 innings while converting a league-leading 15 saves in 18 opportunities. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Joe Ryan tosses seven scoreless to beat Nats
    Joe Ryan struck out six over seven shutout innings on Tuesday in a win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Ryan’s velocity was up across the board as his four-seam fastball had a little bit of extra life on it, which led to an impressive eight swinging strikes and a near-elite 39 percent CSW. He limited Washington’s lineup to just three hits and a pair of walks over seven stellar frames. The 27-year-old righty will bring a strong 3.15 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 64/9 K/BB ratio across 60 innings (10 starts) into a home outing on Monday against the division-rival Royals.

  • Patrick Corbin lit up for eight runs in loss
    Patrick Corbin was obliterated for a season-high eight runs over six innings on Tuesday in a loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Corbin was shelled for a staggering nine hits, including three homers, by Minnesota’s suddenly surging offense. He struck out three and also issued three walks. The 34-year-old lefty had been pitching well of late until this disastrous outing. He’s been off the fantasy radar for a few years at this point and there’s been zero indication that’s going to change. He’ll face the Braves on Monday his next time out.

  • Excels in first Double-A start
    Bubic (elbow) struck out three and allowed one hit and zero walks over three scoreless innings in his rehab start Sunday for Double-A Northwest Arkansas.

    Advice: After a trio of abbreviated rehab outings in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League, Bubic shifted his assignment to the Double-A level over the weekend and was unfazed by higher-caliber competition. He needed just 36 pitches to retire nine batters, doing so while allowing just one baserunner. Bubic's 30-day rehab window will come to a close in the first week of June, but the Royals haven't yet decided what role he'll fill once he's activated from the 60-day injured list. While he looks as though he'll get stretched out for starting duty in the minors, Bubic could have to settle for a long-relief role upon his activation if No. 5 starter Alec Marsh continues to thrive at the back end of the Kansas City rotation.

  • Report: Nick Nastrini coming back up this week
    The Chicago Sun-Times’ Daryl Van Schouwen reports Nick Nastrini will be recalled to start this week for the White Sox.

    Advice: Nastrini was roughed up for six runs (five earned) over three innings back on April 21 and has allowed eight runs (seven earned) with an 8/7 K/BB ratio across eight innings (two starts) this season in the big leagues. The 24-year-old rookie is talented and offers some intrigue, but hasn’t proven he can be trusted for fantasy purposes yet. Rotoworld Today, 5:12 pm
     
  • Cleared to play catch
    Matz (back) was cleared to resume playing catch Tuesday, Lynn Worthy of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

    Advice: Matz has been shut down from throwing since receiving a second pain-killing injection in his lower back May 12. The Cardinals haven't set a return timeline for the 32-year-old lefty, though a clearer picture may emerge once he gets back to throwing off a mound. Rotowire.com Today, 5:10 pm

  • Steven Matz (back) set to resume throwing
    Steven Matz (back) has been cleared to resume throwing.

    Advice: Matz was shut down from throwing earlier this month with a lower back strain that required an injection to address the pain and inflammation. The 32-year-old southpaw isn’t close to returning to the Cardinals’ starting rotation at the moment, but it’s a step in the right direction that he’s been cleared to resume a throwing program.

  • Joe Boyle (back) to make rehab start this week
    Joe Boyle (back) will make a minor league rehab start this week for Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: It’s unclear how many rehab outings Boyle will require at this juncture, but he’s working his way back from a back strain that sent him to the injured list earlier this month. The 24-year-old righty hasn’t really solved his omnipresent control issues to the point that he’ll be an effective and impactful contributor for fantasy managers. Rotoworld Today, 5:05 pm

  • Luis Medina (knee) to make rehab start Wednesday
    Luis Medina (knee) will make a minor league rehab start on Wednesday for Triple-A Las Vegas.

    Advice: Medina is eligible to return from the injured list next week as he makes his way back from a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his right knee that he suffered back in early March. The 25-year-old could rejoin Oakland’s starting rotation mix in early June. Rotoworld Today, 5:04 pm
