  • Locks down 12th save
    Iglesias struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Iglesias has converted his last four save chances since a blown save May 3 versus the Dodgers. He's allowed two runs on five hits and two walks over his last six innings, so it hasn't been the smoothest of stretches for the veteran closer. On the year, he's 12-for-14 in save chances with a 2.33 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 14:5 K:BB over 19.1 innings. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Takes no-decision
    Montas allowed four runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out three over six innings in a no-decision versus the Padres on Thursday.

    Advice: Montas has allowed 12 runs (11 earned) across 15.2 innings over his last three starts, though he's avoided taking a loss in any of those games. The Padres got to him early Thursday before he bounced back and finished strong. The right-hander is at a 4.61 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 28:16 K:BB over 41 innings across nine starts this season. Montas is projected to make his next start at home versus the Cardinals. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago

  • Collects 14th save
    Suarez walked one and struck out one in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning win over the Reds.

    Advice: Suarez had no trouble locking down the save in the 10th inning after the Padres pulled ahead. The right-hander has still allowed just one run all season, and that was March 28 versus the Giants. His scoreless streak is at 20 innings, and he has a 0.40 ERA, 0.67 WHIP and 21:5 K:BB over 22.1 innings with 14 saves and one hold on the year as one of baseball's top closers.

  • Padres transfer Luis Patiño to 60-day IL
    Padres transferred RHP Luis Patiño to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: The procedural move was made earlier this week to open up a spot on San Diego’s 40-man roster. The 24-year-old former top prospect underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery earlier this month. Rotoworld Today, 5:19 pm
     
  • Rangers option Cole Winn to Triple-A
    Rangers optioned RHP Cole Winn to Triple-A Round Rock.

    Advice: Winn was shipped back to the minors earlier this week by the Rangers with Dane Dunning returning from the injured list. The 24-year-old righty struggled in 11 relief appearances after being called up back in mid-April. Rotoworld Today, 5:15 pm

  • Jalen Beeks blows another save Thursday
    Jalen Beeks blew his second save in as many days against the Athletics on Thursday.

    Advice: Beeks started the ninth inning with a one-run lead and immediately gave it up by allowing a home run to Athletics outfield Daz Cameron. He’s now converted just four of his seven opportunities for saves. The 30-year-old left-hander’s grip on the closer role in Colorado seems tenuous at best. Rotoworld Today, 4:02 pm
     
  • Twins option Caleb Boushley to Triple-A
    Twins optioned RHP Caleb Boushley to Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: Boushley heads back to the minors ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Rangers. The 30-year-old righty made just one relief appearance in his brief stint with the Twins. Rotoworld Today, 3:48 pm
     
  • Takes sixth loss
    Heaney (0-6) took the loss Thursday against the Phillies, allowing four runs (three earned) on nine hits and two walks over 3.1 innings. He struck out one.

    Advice: Heaney held the Phillies scoreless until J.T. Realmuto's leadoff homer in the third inning before they'd tack on three more runs in the fourth. It was ultimately another tough outing for the left-hander, who's failed to make it out of the fourth inning in consecutive starts. Heaney's ERA sits at 4.69 with a 1.38 WHIP and 45:13 K:BB across 10 starts (48 innings) this season. He'll be looking for his first win in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week against Arizona. Rotowire.com Today, 3:09 pm

  • Earns fourth save
    Hoffman picked up the save in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Rangers, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

    Advice: Jose Alvarado pitched the eighth inning Thursday, leaving the ninth to Hoffman who'd set down the Rangers in order for his fourth save of the year. The Phillies continue to utilize a high-leverage approach to their bullpen, which has resulted in save opportunities for Hoffman when Alvarado is needed earlier in games. The 31-year-old right-hander has been excellent this year, posting a 1.25 ERA with a 1.02 WHIP and 29:7 K:BB across 21.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 3:03 pm
