    • Takes loss Sunday
      Priester (0-5) took the loss Sunday against Toronto, allowing four runs on eight hits and no walks across 4.2 innings. He struck out three.

      Advice: After a roughly two-week stint at Triple-A Indianapolis, Priester was called up to fill Martin Perez's (groin) spot in the Pirates' rotation. While the 24-year-old didn't surrender a homer or a walk, he yielded four runs for a third time this season. Although Perez is set to miss at least two more starts, it's unclear if Priester did enough Sunday to be kept around. If Priester is awarded another start, it would likely come Saturday against the Twins at PNC Park. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:00 pm
       
    • Handed loss Sunday
      Tate (2-1) allowed two runs on four hits and struck out one over 1.1 innings to take the loss and a blown save Sunday versus the Rays.

      Advice: Tate ran into trouble in the eighth inning and ultimately gave up a two-run double to Jose Siri. This left Tate with the loss while also ending his 10-inning scoreless streak at the major-league level. The right-hander has a 2.79 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB over 19.1 innings this season. While he doesn't have a save or a hold in 2024, he should continue to be an option for occasional high-leverage spots. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:47 pm
       
    • Provides lone run
      Gelof went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Sunday's 3-1 loss to Atlanta.

      Advice: Gelof put up the A's only tally Sunday, swatting a game-tying homer off Dylan Lee in the seventh inning. The long ball was Gelof's fourth of the season, and his first since April 22. The second baseman finishes the three-game series with Atlanta 3-for-11 (.273) with three extra-base hits, two RBI and three runs. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:40 pm
       
    • Earns two-inning save
      Paredes allowed a hit over two scoreless frames and picked up a save over the White Sox on Sunday.

      Advice: Paredes needed only 13 pitches to quickly roll through two shutout innings. It was his first career MLB save and he's turned in seven scoreless innings with Milwaukee since being recalled from Triple-A Nashville on May 24. Paredes followed Kevin Herget's two shutout frames after Freddy Peralta threw five innings in his start. The Brewers made a conscious effort to save the bullpen after Saturday's win that involved several usual late-inning arms, including Trevor Megill, Hoby Milner and Elvis Peguero.

    • Escapes with no-decision
      Walker allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out five over five innings in a no-decision versus the Cardinals on Sunday.

      Advice: Walker served up two-run home runs to Nolan Gorman and Alec Burleson, but the Phillies were able to match the Cardinals through five innings. This was the second time this year Walker's allowed multiple homers, and he's also issued multiple walks in four straight outings. He's at a 5.73 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and 30:15 K:BB over 37.2 innings across seven starts this season. The right-hander's next start is projected to be versus the Mets in the London Series, though it's possible the Phillies could shuffle their rotation given their three off days for travel surrounding the overseas journey. Staff ace Zack Wheeler would be on regular rest for that two-game set after pitching Monday versus the Brewers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:34 pm
       
    • Blows save, takes loss
      Diekman (1-2) took the loss and blew his second save of the season Sunday against Arizona, giving up two earned runs on two hits in 0.1 innings.

      Advice: Diekman came on in the ninth inning to preserve a one-run Mets lead. He allowed a leadoff double before surrendering the game-winning two-run home run to Ketel Marte. The Mets bullpen has been a disaster recently -- presumptive closer Reed Garrett gave up two home runs Friday and Adam Ottavino yielded four earned runs in his last appearance. Reed Garrett remains the most likely candidate for upcoming save opportunities, but the pecking order will be difficult to predict with the Mets bullpen in flux.

    • Taijuan Walker struggles again in no-decision
      Taijuan Walker struggled again in a no-decision against the Cardinals on Sunday night, giving up four runs on five hits over his five innings of work.

      Advice: The 31-year-old hurler punched out five batters on the night while issuing three free passes. He couldn’t keep the ball in the yard in this one, as Walker served up two-run homers to Nolan Gorman in the opening inning and Alec Burleson in the fourth. Walker generated 11 swings and misses on 93 pitches on the night, registering a CSW of 30 percent. He now holds an underwhelming 5.73 ERA, 1.59 WHIP and a 30/15 K/BB ratio over 37 2/3 innings through his first seven starts on the season. He’ll do battle against the Mets in London on Sunday where he is not a recommended streaming option. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:16 pm
       
    • Quinn Priester hit hard, loses again
      Quinn Priester allowed four earned runs in 4 2/3 innings on Sunday against the Blue Jays. He struck out three and surrendered eight hits in a loss.

      Advice: Nothing Priester did fooled the Blue Jays in this one as they had 12 hard-hit balls and were on everything. Priester is yet to be effective as a major league pitcher and will need to find some way to complement his fantastic slider in order to do so. The loss was his fifth of the season without a win.

    • Enoli Paredes gets first save of the season
      Enoli Paredes recorded the save on Sunday after throwing two scoreless innings in a win over the White Sox.

      Advice: Paredes threw the eighth inning when the score was 4-3 Milwaukee, but the Brewers tacked on two additional runs in the bottom of the 8th, so Pat Murphy decided to keep Paredes in to finish the job. It was his first save of the season, and he should not be considered a threat to Trevor Megill’s job. However, Paredes was outstanding in Triple-A and has yet to allow a run since being recalled, so he could be a solid ratio asset in deeper fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:01 pm
