    • Yusei Kikuchi falls apart in fifth inning Sunday
      Yusei Kikuchi completely fell apart in the fifth inning on Sunday, giving up seven runs on six hits and three walks over 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Kikuchi cruised into the fifth inning on Sunday with a comfortable 7-0 lead, but things got much tighter after Kikuchi allowed a single, two walks and then a one-out grand slam to Ketel Marte. Jays’ manager John Schneider stuck with him, as he allowed a walk to Gabriel Moreno and a single to Lourdes Gurriel Jr. before punching out Christian Walker for the second out. He then allowed an RBI single to Randal Grichuk and plunked Jake McCarthy before mercifully being removed — and both inherited runners went on to score. Kikuchi heads into the All-Star break with a 4-8 record, 4.42 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and a 117/26 K/BB ratio over 106 innings through his first 20 starts. He looked like a much better trade chip prior to Sunday’s disastrous fifth inning. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
       
    • Launches two homers in win
      Morel went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Cardinals.

      Advice: Morel hit a two-run blast in the sixth inning and a solo shot in the eighth to pad the Cubs' lead in the contest. This was his first multi-hit effort since June 22, though he's hit safely in 10 of 12 games in July, batting .229 (11-for-48) for the month. Overall, Morel has 18 long balls, 50 RBI, 42 runs scored and seven stolen bases through 96 contests, though he's slashing a light .202/.303/.387 on the year. Rotowire.com 54 minutes ago

    • Morel homers twice in win over Cardinals
      Christopher Morel went 2-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI in an 8-3 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

      Advice: Morel took Miles Mikolas deep in the sixth inning and then Andrew Kittredge yard in the eighth. He now has 18 RBI and 50 RBI on the season, which has allowed him to remain fantasy-relevant despite having a .202/.303/.387 slash line. Morel is a below-average defender and will likely never hit for a high batting average, so there remains the risk that the Cubs will eventually see him as a part-time player; however, his immense power and speed upside will always intrigue fantasy managers if you can withstand his poor average.

    • Can't escape fifth inning
      Kremer did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over 4.2 innings against the Yankees. He struck out four.

      Advice: Kremer entered the fifth inning in relatively good shape with a 2-1 lead but allowed a leadoff homer to Trent Grisham, then allowed two more batters to reach base, including a two-out walk to Aaron Judge that spelled the end to his day. Sunday represented Kremer's third start since returning from a triceps issue and he's been held to 83-85 pitches while failing to make it past the fifth in any of those outings. He'll enter the All-Star break with a 4.38 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 64 strikeouts over 63.2 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 2:07 pm
       
    • Lively pitches well in loss
      Ben Lively allowed two runs on three hits in 5 1/3 innings in a loss to the Rays on Sunday.

      Advice: Lively struck out seven and walked two on the day while inducing nine whiffs on 35 swings for a 26 percent whiff rate and 34 percent CSW. Unfortunately, he allowed solo home runs to Jose Siri and Brandon Lowe, and that was the difference. Lively has been a tremendous surprise for the Guardians, carrying a 3.58 ERA into the second half of the season. As of now, he’s scheduled to start on Saturday against the Padres next week.

    • Kremer takes no-decision Sunday against Orioles
      Dean Kremer didn’t factor into the decision after allowing two runs over 4 2/3 innings against the Yankees on Sunday.



      Advice: It was Trent Grisham — of all people — who did all of the damage against Kremer, plating a run with a single in the second before adding a solo homer in the fifth. Kremer allowed four hits and two walks while hitting a batter (Aaron Judge) and striking out four. The 28-year-old impressed in his return from the injured list on July 3, but he’s been spotty in his last two starts. Consider him a matchup play in fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Today, 12:16 pm
       
    • Hitting bench Sunday
      Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: After starting in six of the Royals' last seven contests, Garcia will get a breather Sunday in the club's final game before the All-Star break. Utility man Adam Frazier will enter the lineup in Garcia's stead, occupying third base and batting leadoff. Rotowire.com Today, 8:41 am

    • Time in Milwaukee over
      The Brewers designated Keuchel for assignment Sunday, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

      Advice: Keuchel's run with Milwaukee ends after just four starts, over which he compiled a 5.40 ERA, 1.86 WHIP and 11:8 K:BB in 16.2 innings. The 36-year-old southpaw will most likely clear waivers, though it's unclear if he'll be willing to report to the Brewers' Triple-A affiliate in Nashville thereafter, as he could prefer to elect free agency and explore his options on the open market. The Brewers won't need another No. 5 starter to replace Keuchel until July 24, at which time Joe Ross (back) might be ready to return from the 60-day injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 8:23 am
       
    • Brewers designate Dallas Keuchel for assignment
      Brewers designated LHP Dallas Keuchel for assignment.

      Advice: Keuchel was ineffective after being acquired from the Mariners in a trade with a 5.40 ERA over his 16 2/3 innings, and he allowed three runs over three frames against the Nationals on Saturday. He’ll hit the waiver wire, and he can either elect free agency or report to Triple-A if he isn’t claimed or traded. Rotoworld Today, 8:07 am
