  • Peterson wins third consecutive start Monday
    David Peterson allowed two runs in six innings and got the win in the Mets’ 14-2 victory over the Rangers on Monday.



    Advice: Peterson gave up four hits, walked three and struck out six. He’s now won three consecutive starts and the six strikeouts were a season-high. A former first round pick by the Mets in 2017, Peterson is once again getting a chance in the Mets’ rotation and seems to be making the most of it. He struggled with a 5.03 ERA in 27 appearances last year, but his 3.59 xFIP suggested he wasn’t quite that bad. He now has a 3.97 ERA in four starts this year. The 28-year-old left-hander is set to face the Cubs on the road this weekend.

  • Gives up season-high six runs
    Vasquez (1-4) gave up six runs in 4.1 innings of work. He gave up 12 hits, walked two, and struck out two in Monday's loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Vasquez was knocked around by the Phillies on Monday; the 12 hits allowed were a career-high for the righty. The home runs he allowed to Kyle Schwarber and Alec Bohm did most of the damage, but Vasquez was in trouble the whole outing. The 25-year-old has now given up at least three runs in seven of his nine starts this season and saw his ERA climb to 5.70. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
     
  • Randy Vásquez allows six runs in loss to Phillies
    Randy Vásquez was lit up for six runs over 4 1/3 innings on Monday in a loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Vásquez was tagged for an astounding 12 hits, including a pair of homers, and was saddled with his fourth loss of the year. He struck out two and also issued a pair of walks. The 25-year-old righty is not a recommended fantasy option when he takes the ball on Saturday against the Brewers. Rotoworld Today, 6:32 pm
     
  • Expected to join team in San Diego
    Junis (shoulder) is expected to join the Brewers during their four-game road series against the Padres beginning Thursday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: Junis will meet the team in San Diego barring any discomfort from his sim game in Arizona on Monday according to manager Pat Murphy. The 31-year-old has been on the injured list since April 6 with a right shoulder impingement and a subsequent head injury, but he now appears to be on the cusp of a return to the major-league roster. It's unclear if Junis will be asked to step into the starting rotation upon his activation from the 60-day IL, but he'll likely be back in the rotation sooner rather than later.

  • Jakob Junis (shoulder, head) likely to come off IL
    Jakob Junis will likely come off the injured list and pitch for the Brewers this weekend.

    Advice: Junis, coming back from shoulder and head injuries, didn’t impress in his second rehab start June 8, but instead of having him do another one, he’s been pitching sim games with the Brewers. It’s unclear whether he’ll start against the Padres this weekend or pitch in relief initially. Rotoworld Today, 5:18 pm

  • Chase Silseth (elbow) to make third rehab start
    Rather than rejoin the rotation, Chase Silseth will make a third rehab start on Friday.

    Advice: Giving up three runs in five innings for Triple-A Salt Lake on Sunday wasn’t good enough to get Silseth back to the majors just yet. The Angels have off Thursday and Sunday this week, so there’s little harm in keeping Silseth down for now. If he pitches well Friday, he’ll probably be added to the rotation next week. Silseth has been out since early April with elbow inflammation. Rotoworld Today, 5:12 pm

  • Set for another rehab start
    Silseth (elbow) will make another rehab start with Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday against Reno, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Silseth is set for a fifth rehab start and third with Salt Lake. The 24-year-old has been on the injured list since April 8 due right elbow inflammation, but he appears to be closing in on a return to the major-league roster. Through two starts at Triple-A, Silseth has struggled a little, surrendering nine runs on 11 hits and eight walks while striking out seven batters over 7.2 innings. He'll look to put together a more successful outing Friday versus Reno. Rotowire.com Today, 5:03 pm

  • Set to start Monday
    Plesac will draw the start Monday versus the Brewers.

    Advice: Plesac will replace Jose Soriano (abdomen) on the mound after Soriano was a late scratch with lower abdominal pain Monday. Plesac had his contract selected by Los Angeles on Monday and he'll now get his first chance to start a major-league contest in 2024. The right-hander has produced a 5.42 ERA and 1.43 WHIP with 51 strikeouts over 74.2 innings in 13 starts with Triple-A Salt Lake this season. Rotowire.com Today, 4:30 pm
     
  • Asymptomatic but still shut down
    Weathers (finger) is asymptomatic but has yet to resume a throwing program, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The left-hander has been out since early June with a left index finger strain. Weathers will be reevaluated early next week, so while he is feeling better, it appears he won't be cleared to throw for at least another week. He'll need to ramp things back up at that point, so a return before the end of June looks to be out of the question. Rotowire.com Today, 3:04 pm
