  • One hit in return
    Doyle went 1-for-3 Monday against the Padres.

    Advice: Doyle missed one game due to a chest injury, though his absence turned out to be short-lived. He hit seventh in the order and now has at least one hit in five of his last six starts. Overall, Doyle has maintained an impressive .291 batting average across 84 plate appearances, though he's still striking out at a 31 percent clip. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Takes loss in ugly outing
    Mears (0-2) allowed two earned runs on three hits and a walk while striking out one to take the loss Monday against the Padres.

    Advice: Mears was on the mound for the second consecutive day, this time in the eighth inning with the task of keeping the score knotted at 1-1. He got two outs across the first three batters he faced but then allowed a double and a pair of singles to account for the damage and take his second loss of the season. Mears has looked to be in the mix for saves and has been used in high-leverage spots early on this season, though this outing won't help his case. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Yields one run in five frames
    Gomber tossed five innings, allowing one run on four hits and three walks while striking out two batters in a no-decision against San Diego on Monday.

    Advice: Gomber induced just seven swinging strikes among his 95 pitches and punched out only two Padres, but he kept Colorado in the game despite allowing at least one baserunner in each of his five frames. The southpaw got only one run of support from the Rockies' offense, though that was enough for him to avoid taking the loss. Gomber has given up three or fewer runs in each of his past four starts, but he remains stuck on zero wins this season. Rotowire.com 19 minutes ago
     
  • Claims eighth save Monday
    Suarez earned a save against the Rockies on Monday, giving up two hits in a scoreless inning of work.

    Advice: Suarez entered in the ninth inning with San Diego up by two runs and found himself in some trouble when two of the first three batters he faced notched a hit. However, the right-hander got Ryan McMahon to ground into a game-ending double play to escape the jam without a run charged to his ledger. Suarez has now competed eight straight scoreless appearances, and he's given up just one run over 10.2 frames on the season. With eight saves, he is tied with Clay Holmes for first in the majors in that category. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
     
  • Fans eight in victory Monday
    Cease (3-1) earned the win over Colorado on Monday, allowing one run on one hit and no walks while striking out eight batters over seven innings.

    Advice: Cease dominated the Rockies' lineup, yielding just one hit -- a fourth-inning Charlie Blackmon leadoff double that Colorado converted into its only run. The veteran hurler has notched a win in each of his past three starts, giving up just two earned runs and five hits while striking out 22 batters over 19 frames during that stretch. Cease's lack of free passes Monday was also a positive development after he had issued multiple walks in each of his first four starts of the campaign, including five in his previous outing. Cease's season ERA now sits at a sterling 1.82, which is tied for 10th in MLB among qualified starters. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
     
  • Suárez shuts down Angels for first win since 2016
    Albert Suárez blanked the Angels for 5 2/3 innings in the Orioles’ 4-2 victory Monday.

    Advice: Suárez won for the first time since June 23, 2016, when he outpitched the Pirates’ Jon Niese in a 5-3 victory for the Giants. It’s so long ago that no member of either team’s starting lineup is currently active in the majors (although both Starling Marte and Brandon Crawford did appear off the bench that day). Suárez got 16 missed swings tonight, half of them coming on his 94-mph fastball. He’s not guaranteed much additional time in the rotation with Kyle Bradish due back soon, but he should be a nice play if he gets to face the A’s on Sunday. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
     
  • Kimbrel overtakes Billy Wagner with 423rd save
    Craig Kimbrel moved past Billy Wagner on the all-time saves list with a scoreless ninth Monday against the Angels.

    Advice: This was a classic post-peak Kimbrel outing; he hit Jo Adell with an 0-2 pitch, gave up a soft single and then walked a batter for the first time this year to load the bases with one out. At that point, he got Nolan Schanuel to pop out and struck out Mike Trout on four fastballs. His 423rd save leaves him alone in seventh place on the all-time list. His next will tie John Franco for sixth, and after that, he’ll keep battling it out with Kenley Jansen, who is two saves ahead of him at 425. Both should also pass Francisco Rodríguez at 437 this year. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
     
  • Reid Detmers goes seven innings in loss
    Reid Detmers lost to the Orioles after allowing four runs in seven innings on Monday.

    Advice: Starts like this still seem like progress for Detmers, who completed six innings in only 10 of his 28 outings last season. He’s already done so in three out of five this year, and he still hasn’t topped 100 pitches in the process. The loss leaves him 3-1 with a 2.12 ERA. He has a favorable matchup against the Twins coming this weekend. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago

  • Colton Cowser gets start versus lefty, homers
    Colton Cowser homered in a second straight game Monday against the Angels.

    Advice: Since the Orioles were facing a lefty, Cowser might have been on the bench for this one had Austin Hays been healthy. As is, he made his second start versus a southpaw and hit his second homer off one when he took Reid Detmers deep in the seventh. He’s at .364/.400/.800 for the season. Rotoworld 46 minutes ago
