  • Picks up save No. 3
    Stanek earned the save in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Astros after pitching a perfect ninth and striking out two.

    Advice: Stanek got the call for the save opportunity with Andres Munoz unavailable having worked the previous two days. The former Astro would go on to strike out Alex Bregman and Jake Meyers before getting Jon Singleton to fly out to end the game. It was Stanek's third save of the year and his first since April 12 and he's now struck out six batters over his last three innings. For the year, the 32-year-old owns a 4.26 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB in 19 innings. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
     
  • Stays consistent versus Astros
    Castillo did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Astros, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out six in six innings.

    Advice: Castillo remains winless over his last three starts but has consistently been putting up solid results. He's now two earned runs or fewer in nine straight starts dating back to April 14 and eight of those starts have gone at least six innings. His lone mistake on the evening was serving up a two-run homer to Alex Bregman in the fourth to give the Astros a 2-1 lead. He's now given up five home runs over his last four starts. Castillo owns a 3.28 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 75:19 K:BB in 71.1 innings and will face the Angels at home his next time on the mound. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Swipes first bag, knocks in run
    Wong went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and an RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Orioles.

    Advice: Wong swiped his first bag of the season in the fifth inning then produced an insurance run with an eighth-inning single. The catcher, who batted .235 last season, continued a breakout at the dish in 2024 and is batting .324 with an .836 .OPS. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Nabs stolen base Tuesday
    Rojas went 2-for-4 with an RBI double, a steal and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Astros.

    Advice: Rojas singled, stole and scored off the bat of Julio Rodriguez in the first inning to give Seattle an early lead. The Mariners would then rally in the eighth, beginning with an RBI-double from Rojas who then came around to score once more thanks to Rodriguez. Tuesday was Rojas' first multi-hit game and first stolen base since May 10 while his late RBI knock was just his third since May 7. He's cooled off considerably this month, hitting .152 since May 11. For the year, Rojas is slashing .287/.350/.427 with 12 extra base hits, 10 RBI, 16 runs, five steals and a 14:31 BB:K in 157 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 16 minutes ago

  • Pivotal hold in win
    Bernardino allowed one walk and struck out four over two scoreless innings to pick up a hold in Tuesday's 8-3 win over Baltimore.

    Advice: The game was still tight when Bernardino extricated himself and starter Brayan Bello from a bases-loaded, none-out predicament in the sixth inning. After he loaded the bases with a walk to the first batter faced, the left-hander got a strikeout, a groundout to the pitcher and another strikeout to preserve Boston's 4-3 lead. Bernardino then pitched a perfect seventh inning before Boston's bats piled on insurance runs. It was a masterful performance from Bernardino, who has a 0.78 ERA and 0.83 WHIP over 20 appearances (23 innings). Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Bullpen spoils win Tuesday
    Brown did not factor into the decision Tuesday against the Mariners, allowing one run on four hits and no walks while striking out nine in six innings.

    Advice: Brown had arguably his best performance of the season, tossing his third quality start while setting a new season-high with nine punchouts. The Mariners scratched across a run on him in the first inning, and from there he was dominant, allowing just one runner to reach scoring position while retiring the final 11 he faced in order. Tuesday was also just the second time this season he went without walking a batter. It was certainly an encouraging outing after it's been a mixed bag of results all year from the 25-year-old, who now owns a 6.39 ERA, 1.64 WHIP and 53:24 K:BB in 49.1 innings. Brown will look to pick up a win over the weekend when the Astros host Minnesota. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Swipes bag in loss
    Alvarez went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: Alvarez was just one of two Astros to have more than one hit on the evening and he recorded his second steal of the year in the sixth. Alvarez now has four multi-hit efforts in his last eight games and nine total for the month of May. For the season, the 27-year-old is slashing .269/.347/.447 with nine homers, 22 RBI, 27 runs and a 23:41 BB:K in 236 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Clubs homer in loss
    Benson went 1-for-1 with a walk and a solo home run Tuesday's 7-1 loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Benson produced Cincinnati's lone run, taking a Kyle Gibson four-seamer over the fence to lead off the bottom of the sixth inning. It was the eighth homer of the season for Benson, who also provides fantasy value with eight steals. He was eventually removed for a pinch hitter when a lefty reliever entered, which has been the case in his last four starts. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Leaves yard Tuesday
    Bregman went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Mariners.

    Advice: Bregman provided the Astros' lone run support with a two-run blast to left in the fourth off Luis Castillo. It was his first home run since May 14 and just his third extra base hit since then. Despite multi-hit efforts in two of his last three games, Bregman is still hitting just .147 over his last eight games. His struggles have persisted throughout the season thus far, with the 30-year-old now slashing .212/.277/.335 with five homers, 23 RBI, 15 runs and a 19:30 BB:K in 224 plate appearances.
