  • Hit hard in Saturday's loss
    Kikuchi (2-2) took the loss Saturday, giving up four runs on nine hits over six innings as the Blue Jays fell 4-2 to the Dodgers. He struck out three without walking a batter.

    Advice: While the southpaw did manage to keep the ball in the yard, he still gave up some very loud contact, including three extra-base hits and an RBI single by Shohei Ohtani in the second inning that left his bat with a stunning exit velocity of 119.2 mph. Kikuchi saw his quality start streak end at three, but he'll take a strong 2.94 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 36:8 K:BB through 33.2 innings into his next outing, which lines up to come on the road next weekend against the Nationals.

  • Red Sox move Triston Casas to 60-day IL
    Red Sox transferred 1B Triston Casas to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: The team needed to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for the addition of Garrett Cooper, and Casas made logical sense after it was reported that he’s dealing with torn cartilage in his ribs and could be sidelined for up to nine weeks. He won’t be eligible to return until the end of June. Rotoworld 9 minutes ago

  • Steals eighth bag
    Betts went 3-for-5 with a triple, a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The 31-year-old extended his current hitting streak to seven games with his fourth straight multi-hit performance, and he also swiped a bag for the third straight contest. Betts is having a monster start to the season, slashing .391/.489/.661 through 115 plate appearances with six homers, eight steals, 23 RBI and 29 runs, and while it's early, he's firmly on pace for the second 30-30 campaign of his career.

  • Jonathan India homers, drives in four vs. Rangers
    Jonathan India went 4-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in an 8-4 win over the Rangers on Saturday.

    Advice: India saw his season numbers take a decent jump after a four-hit day at the plate. He put the Reds on the board with a base hit in the second inning to drive in a run. India would do the same in the fourth, driving in his second run with a second. And he’d finally send one over the fence with his first homer of the season in the seventh, a two-run shot off Michael Lorenzen. The 27-year-old second baseman is now batting .222/.347/.309 with the one homers, 11 runs scored, and eight RBI across 98 plate appearances. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
     
  • Corey Seager swats second homer on Saturday
    Corey Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo homer on Saturday against the Reds.

    Advice: Seager was originally scheduled to get the day off on Saturday, but was a late addition to the lineup. On his 30th birthday, he swatted a solo homer in the ninth inning, his second of the season. Seager has been off to a relatively cold start, hitting .247/.336/.330 with the two homers, 12 runs scored, and seven RBI across 110 plate appearances. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago

  • Alexis Díaz locks down sixth save on Saturday
    Alexis Díaz recorded two outs in the ninth inning to convert the save against the Rangers on Saturday.

    Advice: The Reds entered the inning with an eight-run lead over the Rangers. Brent Suter nearly let it get away from them, allowing four runs in the frame. Díaz would come in with one out, two runners on, and the tying run on deck. He induced a quick pop out and a groundout to end the game with his sixth save of the season.

  • Hunter Greene blanks Rangers over seven in win
    Hunter Greene tossed seven shutout innings with six strikeouts in a win over the Rangers on Saturday.

    Advice: Greene put together his best start of the season on Saturday, spinning a gem against a tough Rangers lineup. He allowed just two baserunners on the day, walking a batter in the fourth and giving up a double in the fifth. Greene induced just six whiffs, but tossed 63-of-98 pitches for strikes to strike out six. The 24-year-old right-hander ends the day with a 3.63 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and a 42/12 K/BB ratio across 34 2/3 innings. He’ll take on the Orioles in Cincinnati on Friday. Rotoworld 24 minutes ago
     
  • Michael Lorenzen allows five runs in loss to Reds
    Michael Lorenzen allowed five runs with three strikeouts over six innings in a loss against the Reds on Saturday.

    Advice: Lorenzen opened with a clean first inning, but ran into some trouble in the second. He hit the leadoff man, then issued a walk before two hits and a sacrifice fly brought in two runs for the Reds. Cincinnati added a run with a pair of hits in the fourth. A two-run homer by Jonathan India in the seventh would knock Lorenzen from the game at 100 pitches. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
