  • Nabs first career win
    Schwellenbach (1-2) earned the win Tuesday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks across six innings against the Tigers. He struck out seven.

    Advice: Schwellenbach logged a second straight quality start and set a career high in strikeouts en route to his first big-league win. The lone run against Schwellenbach came in the sixth inning, when Riley Greene hit a leadoff triple and scored on a Gio Urshela single later in the inning. While Schwellenbach owns a 4.98 ERA through four starts with Atlanta, his ERA is inflated by a six-run shelling at the hands of the the Red Sox on June 5. He's lined up to face the Cardinals in St. Louis on Monday. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Makes impact in return
    Smith served as the designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Mets.

    Advice: Smith returned to the starting lineup Tuesday after battling a hamstring issue since late last week. He was given a soft re-entry as the DH and could return to his normal duties as the fill-in third baseman for the injured Josh Jung (wrist). The surprisingly productive Smith has been a boon to the Rangers' offense which has missed Jung's bat. Smith is batting .298/.386/.451 with five homers, 16 doubles, one triple, 28 RBI and 34 runs scored over 249 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago

  • Randy Arozarena homers Tuesday in loss to Twins
    Randy Arozarena hit a three-run homer on Tuesday in the Rays’ loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Arozarena took Twins ace Pablo López deep with two outs in the opening frame for his 10th big fly of the season. The 29-year-old has started to show some signs of life lately, batting .273 (12-for-44) with two homers over his last 15 games. Rotoworld Today, 3:16 am
     
  • Pablo López hit hard on Tuesday in no-decision
    Pablo López was crushed for five runs over four innings on Tuesday in a no-decision the Rays.

    Advice: The ball was flying on Tuesday night at Target Field as López was tagged for seven hits, including a pair of homers, before a lengthy rain delay brought his outing to a close. He finished with three strikeouts and only issued one walk. The surface results haven’t been inspiring this season, but he still holds a strong 3.47 xFIP, which seems to indicate that he’s been extremely unlucky. He’ll aim to rebound this weekend with a tasty road tilt on Sunday against the Athletics out in Oakland. Rotoworld Today, 3:15 am
     
  • Aaron Civale gives up four runs in no-decision
    Aaron Civale gave up four runs over 3 2/3 innings on Tuesday in a no-decision against the Twins.

    Advice: Civale didn’t end up factoring into the decision as he was long gone before an extended rain delay ground this one to a halt. He managed to keep the ball in the yard, but still surrendered seven hits, and was unable to escape the fourth inning. He finished with five strikeouts and issued a pair of walks. He’ll bring a lackluster 5.42 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 79/22 K/BB ratio across 76 1/3 innings (15 starts) into a road matchup on Sunday against the Pirates. Rotoworld Today, 3:12 am
