  • Promotion could be coming
    Vespi will travel with the Orioles to Toronto for their upcoming series against the Blue Jays, Matt Weyrich of The Baltimore Sun reports.

    Advice: Vespi hasn't officially been promoted yet, but it seems the move is imminent. The left-handed reliever has made one appearance with the Orioles this season, tossing a scoreless frame last month. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
     
  • Takes first loss Sunday
    Adams (0-1) took the loss against Atlanta on Sunday, allowing an earned run on two hits and two walks over one inning. He struck out two.

    Advice: Adams' eventful inning saw him sandwich swinging strikeouts of Ozzie Albies and Orlando Arcia around a walk and a pair of doubles, including Sean Murphy's go-ahead RBI two-bagger. The right-hander saw his streak of seven consecutive scoreless appearances snapped with that hit, but he retains an impressive 2.70 ERA alongside 14 holds over 28 appearances.

  • Retires all six batters
    Martinez (2-0) did not allow a hit or walk while striking out three over two scoreless innings to earn the win over the Mets on Sunday.

    Advice: Martinez retired all six batters faced, including the eighth inning when he struck out the top of New York's batting order. It was a good series for Martinez, who threw five scoreless innings total, including a bullpen-saving three innings Thursday when starter Zac Gallen was removed just six pitches into the game. Martinez has not allowed a run in the last 14.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 5:17 am
     
  • Picks up first big-league win
    Klein (1-0) struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the win Sunday over the Padres.

    Advice: Klein worked the ninth inning while the Royals were down 3-1, and they rallied for a walk-off win in their half of the frame. The rookie right-hander has displayed some promise with five strikeouts over his first three innings in the majors, though he's also allowed two runs and four hits. Klein figures to operate in a low-leverage role as long as he's on the Royals' 26-man roster. He's pitched to a 1.93 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 23:14 K:BB over 23.1 innings at Triple-A Omaha this season, showing significant growth from 2023. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:31 pm
     
  • Takes another loss
    Pressly (0-3) allowed an earned run on one hit and one walk across one inning to take the loss Sunday against the Twins.

    Advice: Pressly allowed a leadoff walk, which ultimately became the game-winning run for the Twins. He took his second loss in his last three appearances, and Pressly has allowed three earned runs in that span. Though he has had stretches of effectiveness this season, he now owns a 5.06 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 21.1 innings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:18 pm
     
  • Stumps Marlins
    Heaney (2-6) picked up the win Sunday against Miami, allowing four hits and no walks across six scoreless innings. He struck out seven.

    Advice: Heaney generated his second consecutive win Sunday and turned in his first scoreless outing of 2024 as a starter. The lefty has settled in after stumbling to a 6.26 ERA over five starts in April, owning a 2.43 ERA and 31 strikeouts across 33.1 innings since May 1. Heaney is tentatively scheduled for a home start against the Giants next Sunday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:41 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
     
  • 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.

  • 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. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:29 pm
