  • Lit up during no-decision
    Corbin did not factor into the decision during Sunday's win over the Marlins, allowing seven runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out four.

    Advice: Corbin labored through 93 pitches in just four innings, digging his own grave by starting just eight of 22 batters with a first pitch strike. The veteran southpaw shut down a potent Dodgers lineup during his last start but couldn't carry the momentum into this matchup with the Marlins, allowing all seven runs during the first two innings. Following the rough start, Corbin did face the minimum through his final two innings, providing a bit of a silver lining over the bad start and allowing the Nationals an opportunity to come all the way back and secure the victory. Corbin's next start is tentatively scheduled to take place during a home set next weekend against the Blue Jays. Rotowire.com 17 minutes ago
     
  • Kevin Pillar elects to explore free agent market
    Kevin Pillar has elected free agency.

    Advice: The 35-year-old outfielder had been designated for assignment by the White Sox on Friday. He passed through waivers unclaimed, but rather than accepting his outright assignment to Triple-A Charlotte, he opted to peddle his wares on the free agent market. It wouldn’t be terribly surprising to see him wind up back with the Braves on a minor league pact. Rotoworld 22 minutes ago

  • Three-run homer in loss
    Bauers went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 15-5 loss to the Yankees.

He also added a double and a single in the contest, securing his second straight multi-hit performance in a game he started. Bauers is now batting .214 with two home runs, 12 RBI, eight runs scored and a stolen base over 56 at-bats in 18 games this season. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago

  • Blasts game-winning dinger
    McCann went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run during Sunday's 7-6 win over the Orioles.

    Advice: McCann's second career dinger came off Baltimore closer Craig Kimbrel in the ninth and served as the game-winner. The backup catcher has not seen many opportunities this season, accumulating only 16 at-bats thus far, but has collected two hits and a homer in two of his last three starts.

  • Earns first career save
    Erceg tossed one flawless inning, striking out two to earn the save during Sunday's 7-6 win over the Orioles.

    Advice: Erceg was called upon to close the door for his first career save after the A's commandeered the lead in the top of the ninth. The A's regular closer, Mason Miller, has been a revelation in end-game situations for Oakland but was rested for a second game in a row, affording the rare save opportunity for Erceg.
