  • Brewers recall Tobias Myers from Triple-A
    Brewers recalled RHP Tobias Myers from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Myers has a 5.40 ERA in six starts and one relief appearance for the Brewers this season. He’ll be available to go long in relief if Aaron Ashby struggles today. Depending on what happens there, he could stick around and make a start next week. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
     
  • Pops fifth homer
    Renfroe went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 8-5 loss to the Guardians.

    Advice: Renfroe has quietly started to turn things around, going 13-for-49 (.265) with two homers, five doubles and eight RBI over his last 15 contests. That's a vast improvement over the first quarter-plus of the season, though he's still at an ugly .179/.256/.327 slash line through 172 plate appearances. Renfroe has added five homers, 21 RBI, 21 runs scored, one stolen base and eight doubles over 51 contests. He sat out both games over the weekend with Nelson Velazquez and Adam Frazier each getting a turn in right field, but Renfroe remains the Royals' primary right fielder.

  • Brewers recall Aaron Ashby to start Wednesday
    Brewers recalled LHP Aaron Ashby from Triple-A Nashville.

    Advice: Ashby is coming off easily his best outing of the year, in which he pitched seven scoreless innings and struck out five against Memphis. That left him with a 6.80 ERA and a 43/38 K/BB in 42 2/3 innings for Nashville. He’ll make his second major league start of the year today against the Phillies. The first, in early April, saw him give up eight runs — four earned — in 3 2/3 innings against the Reds. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago
     
  • Takes first loss
    Long (0-1) allowed two unearned runs on one hit and one walks while striking out one over two-thirds of an inning to take the loss Tuesday versus the Guardians.

    Advice: Long put two runners on base before giving way to Angel Zerpa in the seventh inning. A Bobby Witt error would allow three runs to score, including the two on Long's line that sent him to the loss. He still hasn't given up an earned run over 5.1 innings this season, and he's generally pitched well with a 5:1 K:BB in a low-leverage role since he was brought up to the majors May 20. Long has previous experience as a starter, but none of his six big-league appearances this year have exceeded one inning. He went longer than an inning in eight of his 15 outings for Triple-A Omaha prior to his call-up, so he could still be called on to provide length out of the bullpen.

  • Late addition to lineup
    Meyers has been added to the lineup and will start in center field and bat cleanup Wednesday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Meyers had been scheduled to receive the day off, but with Alex Bregman (hand) scratched from the lineup, the Astros had an opening. With Meyers filling his usual spot in center field, Mauricio Dubon will shift from center to cover third base for Bregman. Rotowire.com 41 minutes ago
     
  • Hits game-tying homer
    Freeman went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Royals.

    Advice: Freeman's homer tied the game at 5-5 in the seventh inning. He hit eighth Tuesday, the lowest he's been in the order since May 9, though it was expected he'd see less time in the top-third of the lineup following Steven Kwan's return from a hamstring injury. Freeman is batting a respectable .256 over his last 20 games, though his season average remains at .219 with a .666 OPS, five homers, 24 RBI, 33 runs scored and eight stolen bases through 54 contests.

  • Collects 15th hold
    Barlow pitched a perfect inning to earn a hold in Tuesday's 8-5 win over the Royals.

    Advice: Barlow has given up six runs over his last seven innings, but he's also picked up seven holds over nine appearances in that span. He's been a little shaky all season, as evidenced by a middling 3.91 ERA to go with a 1.34 WHIP and 34:12 K:BB through 25.1 innings, but Barlow still leads the Guardians with 15 holds. He's maintained a setup role while adding one save and a 2-2 record, though Cade Smith and Hunter Gaddis have been more reliable parts of the bridge to closer Emmanuel Clase.

  • Secures another win
    Smith (3-0) allowed one hit over 1.2 scoreless innings to earn the win over the Royals on Tuesday. He did not strike out or walk a batter.

    Advice: Smith entered the game while the Guardians were down 5-3, but they put together a rally in the seventh inning to put him in line for the win. During his 10.1-inning scoreless streak, Smith has two wins, one save, four holds and a 14:1 K:BB. That impressive stretch has helped him get into the high-leverage mix. He's been fantastic in his first big-league season with a 1.67 ERA, 0.89 WHIP And 38:7 K:BB over 27 innings, though he's unlikely to be anything more than a setup man with Emmanuel Clase entrenched as the closer.

  • Collects second hold
    Nunez struck out one in 1.1 perfect innings of relief Tuesday to record his second hold of the season in a win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Making his eighth career MLB appearance, the right-hander provided the Mets' beleaguered bullpen with some crucial high-leverage help. Nunez is in his third stint this year on the big-league roster, but he might stick around for good this time around -- through 11.2 innings he sports a 2.31 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 19:3 K:BB. With Edwin Diaz (shoulder) still sidelined and Reed Garrett, Adam Ottavino and Jake Diekman all struggling, it's not out of the question that Nunez will get added to the saves mix in the short term.
