  • Michael Kopech allows unearned run in loss to MIL
    Michael Kopech allowed an unearned run while striking out two and picking up a loss Saturday to the Brewers.

    Advice: The run doesn’t get charged to Kopech because it was the “zombie runner” that was placed on second base to begin the bottom of the 10th. He still gets the loss with Willy Adames singling in William Contreras to give the Brewers a win and the White Sox their 10th straight loss. Rotoworld Today, 5:19 pm
     
  • Willy Adames singles home game-winner in extras
    Willy Adames drove in three runs including the game-winner in the 10th to give the Brewers a 4-3 win over the White Sox on Saturday.

    Advice: Adames had three hits in the contest, and the biggest was a game-winning infield single off Michael Kopech in the bottom of the 10th. Adames has been an RBI machine throughout the year, and is already up to 42 on the season. He’s also added nine homers and eight steals, so it’s fair to say Adames has been more fantasy helper than hurter so far in 2024. Rotoworld Today, 5:18 pm

  • Robert Gasser gives up two homers, three runs
    Robert Gasser gave up three runs in five innings while not factoring into the decision Saturday against the White Sox.

    Advice: Gasser gave up seven hits — two of those homers — while striking out three and not issuing a walk. It’s a bit of a disappointing effort considering how bad Chicago’s lineup is, but credit to the 25-year-old for limiting the damage to just the roundtrippers. He’ll have a chance to lower his 2.57 ERA against the Tigers next weekend. Rotoworld Today, 5:18 pm
     
  • Garrett Crochet strikes out eight in no-decision
    Garrett Crochet held the Brewers to one run over six innings while striking out eight Saturday in a no-decision versus the White sox.

    Advice: Crochet scattered five hits with one walk. The left-hander continues to impress even while playing for arguably the worst team in baseball, and he’s struck out 19 over his last two outings while allowing just three runs over 12 innings. Any question that Crochet has the stuff to succeed as a starter was pretty silly, but it should have been answered now. The questions of whether he can handle the modern rigors remain in doubt, but right now, Crochet is an excellent fantasy option even if the wins won’t come. A chance to impress is scheduled over the weekend against the Red Sox. Rotoworld Today, 5:18 pm
     
  • Stumbles vs. Oakland
    Sale allowed eight runs on nine hits and a walk over four innings against the A's on Saturday. He struck out four.

    Advice: It was a rough day for Sale, who allowed six runs in his first two innings before Brent Rooker added two more with a home run in the fourth. Sale hadn't allowed more than one run in six straight starts prior to Saturday while recording eight or more strikeouts in each of his last five outings. Overall, the veteran left-hander is 8-1 on the season with a 3.06 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 82:10 K:BB across 67.2 innings. Sale will look to right the ship in his next start, currently scheduled for next week in Washington. Rotowire.com Today, 5:14 pm

  • Robbie Grossman drives in pair with two hits
    Robbie Grossman went 2-for-4 with two RBI in a victory over the Marlins on Saturday.

    Advice: Grossman also drew a walk. The left-handed hitter had been really struggling since coming over to the Rangers with just two hits since May 8, but he was able to match that total while bringing home a couple of runners Saturday. Rotoworld Today, 5:11 pm
     
  • Corey Seager reaches four times in rout of Marlins
    Corey Seager went 3-for-5 with a walk in a win for the Rangers over the Marlins on Saturday.

    Advice: Seager doubled, singled twice and got on via the aforementioned free pass for a four-reach day. The 30-year-old now has a 14-game hitting streak, and a line of .235/.314/.333 has improved to .270/.362/.485 during that streak. The struggles are over, folks. Rotoworld Today, 5:10 pm
     
  • Wyatt Langford drives in pair against Marlins
    Wyatt Langford drove in two runs in a victory over the Marlins for the Rangers on Saturday.

    Advice: Langford’s RBI came in garbage time, as he drove in a pair of runs to make it 7-0 in the ninth inning. Still counts. He also struck out three times, but since returning from the injured list Tuesday, Langford has picked up a pair of multi-hit games while driving in three runs. Rotoworld Today, 5:09 pm
     
  • Ryan Weathers whiffs 11 in loss to Rangers
    Ryan Weathers struck out 11 but allowed four runs over six innings in a loss to the Rangers on Saturday.

    Advice: The 11 strikeouts are a season-high for Weathers, and it’s the second time he’s reached double digits in 2024. The punchouts are nice, but he also allowed nine hits and four runs, so this was a mixed effort at best from the 24-year-old. Still, it’s nice to see some flashes of what Made Weathers the seventh pick of the 2018 MLB Draft. Rotoworld Today, 5:08 pm
