    • Locks down save Sunday
      Ginkel pitched a perfect ninth in Sunday's 3-2 win over the Mariners to earn his fifth save of the year. He struck out one.

      Advice: Ginkel made quick work of the Mariners' hitters, needing only nine pitches to get three outs. He began by striking out Jorge Polanco and got the next two batters out on weak contact to shut the door. Ginkel has stepped up well in the closer role with Paul Sewald (oblique) on the mend, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 13:3 K:BB in 12 innings. Sewald recently suffered a minor setback in his recovery, meaning Ginkel will have the closer job for a little while longer. Rotowire.com Today, 3:00 am
       
    • Little run support Sunday
      Gilbert did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks. He allowed two runs on four hits and a walk while striking out nine in 6.1 innings.

      Advice: Gilbert allowed an early solo home run to Christian Walker in the second. He was then able to keep the Diamondbacks off the scoreboard until Eugenio Suarez doubled home another run in the seventh to even things up at 2-2, ultimately knocking Gilbert from the game and spoiling his chance at a win. Still, it was another excellent outing from the 27-year-old. His nine strikeouts were a season-high and he's managed to go at least six innings and all but one start so far. Gilbert now owns a sparkling 2.03 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 44:9 K:BB in 40 innings and lines up to face the Astros on the road next weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 2:43 am
       
    • John Means looks sharp in latest rehab start
      John Means (elbow) looked sharp in his final minor league rehab start at Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday, allowing just one hit over seven scoreless innings.

      Advice: The left-hander piled up eight strikeouts on the day and issued just one base on balls. Means fired 61 of his 95 pitches for strikes in the contest. While the Orioles have yet to officially announce any changes to their rotation, it’s anticipated that Means will replace Albert Suarez to start against the Reds in Cincinnati on Friday. It’s a difficult first start back to trust for fantasy managers, but he’s worthy of a stash in deeper mixed leagues where he may still be available. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:52 pm

    • Cruises to ninth save
      Finnegan walked one in a scoreless ninth to pick up the save during Sunday's 12-9 victory over the Marlins. He struck out one.

      Advice: Finnegan needed 21 pitches to finish the game but kept Miami off the scoreboard to match the league lead with his ninth save in 10 opportunities. He lowered his ERA to 2.19 with a 0.97 WHIP and 11 strikeouts over 12.1 innings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:55 pm
       
    • Jose Altuve hits seventh homer in Astros’ victory
      Jose Altuve went 2-for-4 with a homer, a walk and three runs scored as the Astros topped the Rockies 8-2 in Mexico City on Sunday.

      Advice: Altuve’s homer projected at 438 feet, his longest blast since Oct. 7, 2020. He hadn’t hit a ball farther than 404 feet this season, though that hadn’t stopped him from amassing six homers coming into the day. He’s batting .342/.414/.596 in 128 plate appearances.

    • Kevin Ginkel locks down fifth save on Sunday
      Kevin Ginkel locked down his fifth save of the season on Sunday, working a scoreless ninth inning to preserve a one-run lead against the Mariners.

      Advice: Ginkel made it look awfully easy in this one, getting Jorge Polanco on a called third strike, Ty France on a bouncer back to the mound and Mitch Garver on a fly ball to left to end it. He has done a nice job in the absence of closer Paul Sewald, compiling a 3.00 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and a 13/3 K/BB ratio over 12 innings while converting five of his first seven save chances. Sewald suffered a minor setback over the weekend, meaning Ginkel should continue to function in the team’s closer role for at least another week — possibly longer.

    • Goes deep, swipes bag
      Altuve went 2-for-4 with a solo homer, three runs scored, a walk and a steal in Sunday's win over Colorado.

      Advice: Altuve singled and scored after swiping third base in the first inning. He then drilled a solo shot in the third. The star infielder had been in a short slump recently, going 6-for-30 (.200) with one extra-base hit over his previous seven games. Still, he's sporting a strong .342/.414/.596 slash line with four steals, 15 extra-base hits and 21 runs scored through 28 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:02 pm
       
    • Logan Gilbert fans nine in no-decision on Sunday
      Logan Gilbert pitched well in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks on Sunday afternoon, racking up nine strikeouts across 6 1/3 innings of two-run baseball.

      Advice: The 26-year-old right-hander scattered just four hits and one walk on the day. He served up a solo homer to Christian Walker in the second inning, then kept the Diamondbacks off the board until Eugenio Suarez chased him with a run-scoring double in the seventh inning. Gilbert got 16 swings and misses on 97 pitches on the night, registering an elite CSW of 34 percent. He’ll try to get back in the win column as he carries a stellar 2.03 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 44/9 K/BB ratio (40 innings) into Saturday’s matchup against the Astros in Houston.

    • Kirby Yates picks up fifth save versus Reds
      Kirby Yates turned in a scoreless ninth against the Reds for his fifth save on Sunday.

      Advice: Yates gave up a single and a walk, but he was able to strike out Jeimer Candelario and get a lineout to third from Luke Maile to end the game. He still hasn’t allowed a run in 12 innings this year. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:42 pm
