  • Montas allows two in six innings in no-decision
    Frankie Montas allowed two runs in six innings and got a no-decision against the Red Sox on Saturday.

    Advice: Montas gave up five hits, walked one and struck out four. He was in line for the win until the Reds bullpen gave up the lead in the eighth inning. Montas has now won just one of his last 12 starts, though he was able to post his fourth quality start of the season. His ERA is now 4.48 on the year. The 31-year-old right-hander is set to face the Cardinals on the road next weekend.

  • Kyle Tyler tabbed to start for Marlins on Sunday
    Kyle Tyler will be promoted from Triple-A Jacksonville on Sunday to start for the Marlins in their series finale against the Mariners.

    Advice: The Marlins have dealt with an absolutely unrealistic amount of injuries in their starting rotation this season, and with Braxton Garrett getting scratched from his scheduled start on Sunday they really don’t have anywhere else to turn. Tyler, 27, has made eight career appearances at the big-league level — all of them out of the bullpen. At Triple-A Jacksonville this season he has registered a 2.80 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and a 35/18 K/BB ratio across 45 innings in 10 appearances (eight starts). He can safely be avoided for fantasy purposes.

  • Lively allows two runs, gets seventh win Saturday
    Ben Lively allowed two runs in 5 2/3 innings and got the win in the Guardians’ 6-3 victory over the Blue Jays on Saturday.



    Advice: Lively gave up three hits, walked two and struck out four. He’s now won five of his last seven starts and has seven wins overall on the season. His ERA is 3.03. Not bad for a waiver wire pickup. The 32-year-old right-hander is set to face the Royals on the road next weekend.

  • Set for first career start
    The Marlins plan to call up Tyler from Triple-A Jacksonville to start Sunday's game against the Mariners, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Tyler will make a spot start Sunday in place of Braxton Garrett, who was scratched from his start this weekend with left elbow discomfort. Tyler's only appearance this season with Miami came April 26, when he allowed run on one hit across two innings before being designated for assignment. He cleared waivers and remained in the organization as a full-time member of the rotation at Jacksonville, with whom he's accrued a 2.25 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 29:16 K:BB in 40 innings since the beginning of May.

  • Henry hammered for six runs against Phillies
    Tommy Henry allowed six runs in 3 2/3 innings and took the loss against the Phillies on Saturday.



    Advice: Henry gave up six hits, walked two and struck out two. He allowed two runs in the first inning on a Bryce Harper RBI single and Nick Castellanos sacrifice fly. Henry allowed back-to-back home runs to Harper and Alec Bohm in the third inning. His ERA is now up to 7.04 with a SO:BB of 30:18 in seven starts. The 26-year-old left-hander is set to face the Athletics at home next weekend if he isn’t optioned to Triple-A before then.

  • JP Sears roughed up for eight runs in 1 1/3 innings
    JP Sears was shellacked for eight runs in just 1 1/3 innings to pick up a loss Saturday to the Twins.

    Advice: Oof magoof. Sears gave up nine hits to the Twins on Sunday as well, but that was over 4 1/3 innings. Eight of the runs came in the second frame in a start that showed what can happen when Sears doesn’t have his best command. The poor results of the last two outings have seen his ERA balloon to 5.04, but he’ll get a chance to turn it around next weekend against the Diamondbacks. Rotoworld Today, 3:41 pm

  • Shaun Anderson gives up six in spot start vs. M’s
    Shaun Anderson gave up six runs in 3 2/3 innings in a loss to the Mariners on Saturday.

    Advice: Anderson gave up nine hits without issuing a walk and striking out three. He pitched a clean second frame, but he gave up two in the first and another four in the third before leaving. The right-hander has an ERA of 12.46 in his limited action, so even if he gets another start, fantasy managers should look almost literally anywhere else before considering him as a streamer.

  • Aroldis Chapman picks up second save of 2024
    Aroldis Chapman picked up a save against the Rays on Saturday despite allowing a run in his inning of work.

    Advice: It’s just the second save of the season for Chapman. The 36-year-old southpaw allowed an RBI double to Yandy Diaz, but it came with the Pirates holding a two-run cushion. Chapman isn’t likely to see many save chances as long as he’s behind David Bednar. Rotoworld Today, 3:16 pm
     
  • Jameson Taillon fans 10 in dominant win over Mets
    Jameson Taillon recorded 10 strikeouts and allowed one run over six innings on Saturday in a win over the Mets.

    Advice: Taillon was staked to a five-run cushion by the outset of the second inning and was able to cruise to his fourth victory of the season, setting a new season-high in the strikeout department in the process. A fifth-inning solo shot by Mets emerging star Francisco Alvarez was the lone blemish over six stellar frames as he induced 15 swinging strikes and finished with a robust 34 percent CSW. The 32-year-old righty has allowed two earned runs or fewer, while also completing six innings, in each of his las three starts dating back to June 11. He’ll bring a solid 2.90 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 53/16 K/BB ratio across 68 1/3 innings (12 starts) into a road tilt on Thursday against the Giants at pitcher-friendly Oracle Park. Rotoworld Today, 2:16 pm
