  • Mason Miller shuts door on Rays for 11th save
    Mason Miller earned a save by preserving a 3-0 win over the Rays on Tuesday.

    Advice: Miller, who hadn’t pitched in two days, didn’t make it easy on himself. After getting the first two batters out, he allowed a single to Yandy Diaz and walked Brandon Lowe to bring the tying run to the plate before striking out Isaac Paredes to end the game. It was his 11th save of the year to go along with a 1.88 ERA. He has emerged as one of the most dominant relievers in baseball and with the A’s proving to be more competitive than many expected, Miller should easily eclipse the 20-save mark this year if he can stay healthy.

  • Zack Littell takes tough luck loss to A’s
    Zack Littell allowed three runs (none earned) on five hits in seven innings in a loss to the Athletics on Tuesday.

    Advice: Littell also struck out nine and walked just one. A Brandon Lowe fielding error got the sixth inning started, and after a walk, Littell was able to get two outs before giving up a three-run shot to Miguel Andujar. That was the difference in the game. The 28-year-old had a dominant performance from his splitter on Tuesday and rode it to a 31 percent whiff rate and 32 percent CSW overall. He’ll now take a 3.03 ERA into a showdown this weekend with the Orioles where he’ll be a risky option in fantasy leagues. Rotoworld 30 minutes ago

  • Mitch Spence shuts out Rays in win
    Mitch Spence threw 5 1/3 shutout innings, allowing just one hit while striking out four in a win over the Rays.

    Advice: This was just Spence’s third start of the season and the first time he’s thrown at least five innings this season. This feels like a bit of a best-case scenario for the 25-year-old, who had just six whiffs on 44 swings for a 14 percent whiff rate and 23 percent CSW. Spence relies heavily on a slider-cutter combination that he threw 80 percent of the time on Tuesday and kept the Rays from squaring anything up. Even though Spence has a 3.52 ERA on the season, he should not be started against the Braves this weekend. Rotoworld 34 minutes ago

  • Rockies outright Matt Koch to Triple-A
    Rockies sent RHP Matt Koch outright to Triple-A Albuquerque.

    Advice: Koch unsurprisingly went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week by Colorado. The 33-year-old righty could wind up electing free agency, but will likely stick around as extra organizational depth. Rotoworld Today, 5:06 pm
     
  • Returns from COVID-19 IL
    The Yankees reinstated Hamilton from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday.

    Advice: Hamilton landed on the IL on May 20, and he'll now return to the Yankees' bullpen after being out of action for one day more than the seven-day minimum. The 28-year-old sports a 3.18 ERA through 22.2 innings this season, and he figures to slide right back into a high-leverage role now that he's healthy. Rotowire.com Today, 4:52 pm
     
  • Yankees activate Ian Hamilton on Tuesday
    Yankees activated RHP Ian Hamilton from the COVID-19 injured list.

    Advice: Hamilton rejoins New York’s bullpen for Tuesday’s series opener against the Angels following a one-week absence on the COVID-19 injured list. Rotoworld Today, 4:36 pm
     
  • Blake Treinen records first save since 2021
    Blake Treinen tossed a perfect 10th inning on Tuesday against the Mets to record his first save of the season.

    Advice: Treinen was summoned to protect a three-run lead in extra innings during the opening contest of Tuesday’s doubleheader at Citi Field and needed just 13 pitches (nine strikes) to hurl a flawless frame. He struck out Brett Baty, got Tomás Nido to fly out and fanned Francisco Lindor to preserve the victory. It was his first save in the majors since the 2021 campaign. Rotoworld Today, 3:58 pm
     
  • Adam Ottavino blows save Tuesday vs. Dodgers
    Adam Ottavino allowed one run in the ninth inning on Tuesday in a blown save against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Ottavino got the call over Edwin Díaz to protect a one-run lead in the final frame and wound up surrendering three straight hits, including a game-tying hit single to Chris Taylor. The veteran righty managed to wriggle out of the jam without any further damage, but the Mets wound up falling in extra innings. Not great. It’s unclear where manager Carlos Mendoza will go from here, but we’re guessing Díaz will probably wind up getting the next save chance. Rotoworld Today, 3:58 pm
