  • Stuck with loss in quality start
    Steele (0-3) took the loss Friday, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over seven innings as the Cubs were downed 3-2 by the Reds. He struck out seven.

    Advice: The southpaw pitched well in his second quality start of the season, generating 30 called or swinging strikes among his 90 pitches, but a lack of run support kept him out of the win column once again. Steele appears to be rounding into form after missing all of April with a hamstring strain, and over his last three starts he sports a 1.89 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 20:6 K:BB through 19 innings. He'll look for that first victory of 2024 in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next week in Tampa Bay. Rotowire.com 36 minutes ago
  • Agustin Ramirez socks three homers Friday at AA
    Yankees C prospect Agustin Ramirez walloped three homers on Friday for Double-A Somerset.

    Advice: Ramirez went 3-for-5 with six RBI on Friday evening as he’s up to 15 homers this season across just 49 games. The 22-year-old backstop has put together an extremely impressive breakthrough this year in the upper minors, batting .273/.372/.536 with 15 homers and 12 steals already. The biggest question for New York is how everything shakes out long-term with fellow top catching Ben Rice already at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago
  • Inefficient in no-decision
    Poteet came away with a no-decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-innings loss to the Dodgers, allowing two hits and three walks over 4.2 scoreless innings. He struck out one.

    Advice: The 29-year-old right-hander kept a dangerous offense off the board, but he needed 84 pitches (50 strikes) to record only 14 outs, and the Yankees' bullpen eventually faltered in the 11th inning. Poteet has a 1.72 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 11:4 K:BB through 15.2 innings over his three big-league starts this season, but with Gerrit Cole (elbow) set to make his second rehab start Sunday, his time in the New York rotation is running short. Poteet should make at least one more start, which lines up to come on the road next week in Kansas City. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago

    New Player Note
  • Logs first MLB hit
    Dunn started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Dunn legged out a double for his first hit in the majors then scored what turned out to be the winning run. He's started in left field twice -- both against left-handers -- since having his contract selected from Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
  • Collects first save
    Ramirez recorded his first save of the season in Friday's 2-1 win over the Yankees, giving up one unearned run on one hit in the 11th inning. He struck out two.

    Advice: The journeyman right-hander is already on his third team of 2024, but with Evan Phillips having thrown 31 pitches the night before and both Daniel Hudson and Blake Treinen having been deployed earlier in Friday's contest, Ramirez got the call in a high-leverage spot and delivered. He did allow the phantom runner to score on a one-out single by Aaron Judge, but Ramirez then struck out Giancarlo Stanton before Anthony Rizzo popped out to end the game. In nine innings for the Dodgers, the 29-year-old has a solid 3.00 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 5:2 K:BB, but he's highly unlikely to become a regular part of the late-inning mix. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
  • Up as 27th man
    The Mets recalled Baty from Triple-A Syracuse on Saturday.

    Advice: Baty will likely serve as a backup during New York's two-game series against the Phillies in London. He figures to head back to Triple-A once the Mets return to the States, where he'll begin taking reps at second base for the first time in his career. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
  • Knocks in two in win
    Stephenson started at catcher, batted fifth and went 1-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 3-2 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Stephenson, who had his hand checked out after getting hit by a pitch Thursday, was back in the starting lineup Friday at his usual catching position. He delivered a two-out, two-run double in the fourth inning to give the Reds a 2-0 lead. The double extended Stephenson's hit streak to eight games, during which he's 12-for-31 (.387) with five RBI and eight runs. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
  • Blanks Yanks in no-decision
    Yamamoto came away with a no-decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-innings win over the Yankees, allowing two hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

    Advice: The 25-year-old right-hander was brilliant in his longest scoreless outing in MLB so far, generating 33 called or swinging strikes among his season-high 106 pitches, but neither offense was able to put runs on the board until the 11th inning. Yamamoto will take a 3.00 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 83:16 K:BB through 72 innings into his next start, which lines up to come at home next weekend against the Royals. Rotowire.com 52 minutes ago
  • Teoscar Hernández delivers in 11th in Dodgers’ win
    Teoscar Hernández went 2-for-4 and doubled in two runs in the 11th to propel the Dodgers past the Yankees 2-1 on Friday.

    Advice: It was a scoreless game until Hernández delivered the contest’s first big hit off Ian Hamilton in the 11th. It actually gave him his first multi-RBI game since May 14. He was often leading the league in RBI for the first month and a half, but he came into this one having driven in a total of three runs in last 20 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:55 pm
