  • Expected to require surgery
    Whitlock has damage in his left UCL and will likely need surgery, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: Whitlock was shut down from throwing after he reported soreness in his right elbow Wednesday, and after further evaluation, it's been discovered that he has ligament damage. The right-hander will see a doctor in Birmingham later in the week, as he could be in the process of seeking a second opinion before electing surgery. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
  • Reese Olson has right hip contusion
    Reese Olson was diagnosed with a right hip contusion after leaving Monday’s game.

    Advice: Olson was hurt when he was hit by a Michael Massey lineup. How he feels tomorrow could determine whether an IL stint is required. Rotoworld 18 minutes ago
  • Elbow surgery a possibility for Garrett Whitlock
    Garrett Whitlock has UCL damage in his elbow and will receive a second opinion later this week.

    Advice: Unfortunate, but it did seem like was coming. Assuming that Whitlock has surgery, he’ll almost certainly miss the rest of the season, and his return next year might come as a reliever. Rotoworld 19 minutes ago
  • Nursing bruised hip
    Olson has been diagnosed with a bruised right hip after being struck by a comebacker during Monday's start against Kansas City.

    Advice: Olson appears to have escaped with a minor injury, though the team will closely monitor him over the next few days. His next start tentatively lines up for Saturday against the Blue Jays, and the club should have clarity on his upcoming availability later in the week. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
  • David Fry drives in two, steals base in win
    David Fry delivered a two-run single and also stole a base on Monday, leading the Guardians to a 3-1 victory over the Mets.

    Advice: Fry kicked off the scoring with a two-run single off Mets starter Tylor Megill in the opening frame. He also walked and stole a base -- his third theft of the season -- in the fourth inning as well. The unheralded 28-year-old is off to a strong start this year, batting .329 (26-for-79) with four homers, 16 RBI and three steals in 32 contests. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago

  • Emmanuel Clase lowers ERA to 0.37 on Monday
    Emmanuel Clase tossed a perfect ninth inning on Monday against the Mets to record his league-leading 14th save of the season.

    Advice: Clase was summoned to protect a two-run lead in the final frame and needed just 12 pitches (seven strikes) to end the contest. The 26-year-old elite stopper has converted a major league-leading 14 of 17 save opportunities to go along with a microscopic 0.37 ERA, 0.58 WHIP and 24/2 K/BB ratio across 24 1/3 innings (25 appearances). He hasn’t allowed an earned run since April 14. Rotoworld 34 minutes ago
  • Ben Lively strikes out seven to defeat Mets
    Ben Lively allowed one run over 5 2/3 innings on Monday in a win over the Mets.

    Advice: Lively’s unexpected hot start continued in this one as he allowed three earned runs or fewer for the seventh consecutive start since making his season debut back on April 17. He matched a season-high with seven strikeouts and didn’t hand out a free pass. A third-inning solo shot by light-hitting backstop Tomás Nido represented the lone tally against him in this one. He’ll bring a strong 2.84 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 38/12 K/BB ratio across 38 innings (seven starts) into a favorable road matchup on Sunday against the Angels. Rotoworld 34 minutes ago

  • Tylor Megill fans seven in loss to Guardians
    Tylor Megill was charged with three runs (two earned) over five innings on Monday in a loss to the Guardians.

    Advice: Megill notched seven strikeouts and only issued a pair of walks. The 28-year-old righty got into trouble right away in his return from the injured list following a seven-week absence, coughing up a two-run single to David Fry in the opening frame. He managed to settle in afterwards, limiting Cleveland to just one run over his final four innings of work. He induced 13 swinging strikes and finished with a pedestrian 26 percent CSW. He’ll face the Dodgers on Monday at Citi Field in his next outing. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago
  • Reese Olson exits after taking liner to hip
    Reese Olson left Monday’s game in the third inning after taking a liner off his hip.

    Advice: Beau Breiske replaced him versus the Royals. Olson gave up two runs — one earned — and five hits in 2 2/3 innings, putting him in line for the loss. If he needs to skip his next start, the Tigers could slot Kenta Maeda into his spot. Rotoworld 36 minutes ago
