    • Earns 18th save
      Munoz walked one batter in a scoreless inning and picked up a save against the White Sox on Sunday.

      Advice: Munoz struggled with his command a bit after Saturday's four-out save; he threw 11 of 20 pitches for strikes but still finished off the 6-3 win. He extended his scoreless streak to 10.1 innings and is now 18 for 21 in save chances this season. Munoz lowered his ERA to 1.28 alongside a 51:19 K:BB through 42.1 frames.

    • Tanner Houck posts quality start in loss on Sunday
      Tanner Houck posted a quality start in Sunday night’s loss to the Yankees, surrendering four runs (three earned) on five hits over his six innings of work.

      Advice: Houck also issued four walks on the evening while recording only two strikeouts. The Yankees jumped on him right out of the gate in this one, as Aaron Judge smacked an RBI single and Gleyber Torres added a two-run knock in the opening inning. Houck settled in nicely afterwards though, allowing just an unearned run in the fourth the rest of the way. He got six whiffs on 97 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 20 percent. The 28-year-old hurler will look to bounce back as he brings a 2.79 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and a 116/33 K/BB ratio (129 innings) into Saturday’s showdown against the Rangers in Arlington.

    • Smith has a combo meal in loss to Blue Jays
      Josh Smith went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a stolen base in a loss to the Blue Jays on Sunday.

      Advice: Smith’s home run was a 404-foot shot at 101.8 mph for his 11th of the season. His steal was also his seventh of the year to go along with a .282/.379/.452 slash line. The 26-year-old is enjoying a breakout season and has single-handedly won the 2021 trade that sent Joey Gallo to the Yankees for Smith, Ezequiel Duran, 2B/OF Trevor Hauver, and RHP Glenn Otto. The Rangers will find a way to keep him in the lineup even when Josh Jung returns. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:42 pm

    • Bogaerts homers in loss
      Xander Bogaerts went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Orioles on Sunday.

      Advice: Bogey has been on fire since coming off the IL, but this is his first home run since fracturing his shoulder, which is good to see. He didn’t get cheated either with a 400-foot shot that left the bat at 106.2 mph. He still has yet to steal a base since coming back from his injury and that was a huge part of his fantasy success last year, so managers should keep an eye on that going forward.

    • Stays hot Sunday
      Diaz went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-2 loss to the Dodgers.

      Advice: Diaz accounted for the Astros' lone scoring play, taking reliever Alex Vesia deep in the sixth inning. Diaz has hit safely in seven of his last nine games, going 11-for-33 (.333) with four extra-base hits and eight RBI in that span. The catcher has a .288/.313/.427 slash line with nine homers, 57 RBI, 44 runs scored, 17 doubles, three triples and one stolen base over 94 contests this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:53 pm

    • Not progressing
      Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Muncy's rehab progress from a strained right oblique has been "stagnant," Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Muncy was shut down from swinging for much of mid-July due to lingering soreness, and the third baseman is again feeling discomfort despite recent medical imaging coming back clean. The 33-year-old remains without a clear timeline for his return, but it seems as though he won't be rejoining the Dodgers in the near future. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:19 pm

    • Andrés Muñoz earns 18th save
      Andrés Muñoz worked around a walk in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save against the White Sox on Sunday.

      Advice: Muñoz battled through increasing rain to lock down this save. His velocity was down a few ticks across the board, but that can likely be attributed to the wet conditions he was pitching in. There’s some fear Yimi García siphons off some save chances from Muñoz as Ryne Stanek did at times this year, but it hasn’t happened yet as Muñoz grabbed saves in back-to-back games to close out this weekend series.

    • On bench Sunday
      Gurriel is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Pirates.

      Advice: Gurriel is hitting .256 with a .618 OPS in 18 games during July and will take a seat for Sunday's series finale versus Pittsburgh. Jake McCarthy will receive a start in left field and bat fifth for Arizona. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:06 pm
       
    • Picks up save No. 20
      Fairbanks notched his 20th save of the season Sunday against the Reds, allowing one hit while striking out one batter in a scoreless ninth inning.

      Advice: Fairbanks has converted his last 10 save opportunities and is now 20-for-22 on the season. Since his last blown save June 20, the 30-year-old has pitched to a 2.25 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 8:4 K:BB in 12 innings. With fellow reliever Jason Adam being traded to the Padres, Fairbanks should see the vast majority of save chances for the Rays moving forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:57 am
