  • Luis García gets save in win over Rangers
    Luis García pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings of relief to pick up the save in a 4-1 win over the Rangers.

    Advice: With Carlos Estevez having thrown 24 pitches on Saturday, Ron Washington opted to keep García in the game after he recorded the final out of the eighth. García rewarded him by claiming his second save of the season. This is not a changing of the guard at closer, so we wouldn’t be spending any FAAB money here. Rotoworld Today, 2:40 pm
     
  • JP Sears chased in fifth inning
    JP Sears allowed four earned runs in 4 ⅓ innings on Sunday in a loss. He struck out four, walked two, and the Royals had five hits off him.

    Advice: The Royals were all over Sears on Sunday hitting four of their first five balls in play at least 95 MPH. He had been pitched well in May, but faltered in this one leaving too many balls in the heart of the zone. Rotoworld Today, 2:37 pm
     
  • José Soriano stymies Rangers in win on Sunday
    José Soriano allowed one run on five hits in 7 2/3 innings in a win over the Rangers.

    Advice: Soriano also walked just two and struck out five on the day. The only major blemish for the 25-year-old was a solo home run to Corey Seager in the fourth inning. It certainly wasn’t a dominant effort as he posted a fine 18 percent whiff rate and 25 percent CSW and allowed eight hard-hit baseballs, but he was able to work out of damage and that’s all that matters at the end of the day. He’ll now carry a 3.30 ERA into a matchup against the Guardians and is a fine streaming option for that one. Rotoworld Today, 2:31 pm

  • Lorenzen let down by bullpen against Angels
    Michael Lorenzen allowed two runs on three hits in 6 1/3 innings in a loss to the Angels on Sunday.

    Advice: Lorenzen had allowed just two hits in six shutout innings before allowing a lead-off double and a walk to start the seventh. He was able to strike out his last batter, so he left the Rangers with first and second and one out. The Angels would score four runs in that inning with two of them being charged to Lorenzen. The right-hander posted a solid 21 percent whiff rate and mediocre 24 percent CSW while allowing an average exit velocity of just 76 mph. He deserved better and will hope for more help next week against the Twins. Rotoworld Today, 2:28 pm
     
  • Hits open market
    Garrett cleared outright waivers Sunday and elected free agency.

    Advice: The veteran left-hander was designated for assignment by the Angels on Wednesday, and he'll head to the open market rather than report to Triple-A Salt Lake. Garrett made just six appearances for the Halos and gave up three earned runs with an 11:5 K:BB over 5.1 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 2:22 pm
     
  • Aaron Nola goes seven in victory over Nationals
    Aaron Nola lasted seven innings and allowed three runs Sunday in beating the Nationals.

    Advice: A strong followup to his shutout of the Mets. Nola gave up just two hits, which were homers to Eddie Rosario and Jesse Winker. He’s completed seven innings in five of his last seven starts, and he’s 6-2 with a 3.05 ERA for the season. Rotoworld Today, 2:20 pm

  • Promoted, starting Sunday
    Knack was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City and is starting Sunday against the Reds.

    Advice: The right-hander spent nearly the past three weeks in the minors but will rejoin the Dodgers for Sunday's series finale. Knack has a 2.81 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 11:5 K:BB across 16 innings through three big-league starts this season, and he could be headed back to Triple-A after the contest. Rotowire.com Today, 10:12 am

  • Landon Knack up from Triple-A for start vs. Reds
    Dodgers recalled RHP Landon Knack from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

    Advice: Knack is up to make a start against the Reds on Sunday. The right-hander will likely be sent down after the contest, but he does offer a smidgen of fantasy upside for those looking for a streamer. Rotoworld Today, 10:02 am

  • Ryan Pressly (finger) throwing bullpen Sunday
    Ryan Pressly (finger) is throwing a bullpen session before Sunday’s game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Pressly has been unavailable due to a finger issue, but the right-hander could be available in the late innings for Houston if the bullpen session goes well. He should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 9:21 am
