    • Blows save chance Thursday
      Kopech (2-6) blew a save but earned the win over the Mariners on Thursday, allowing one run on one hit while striking out two batters over one inning.

      Advice: Kopech was summoned in the ninth inning to try to protect a one-run Chicago lead but served up a one-out, game-tying solo shot to Julio Rodriguez. To his credit, Kopech bounced back to retire the next two batters and send the game to extra frames, and he was credited with a win as a result of the White Sox pushing past a run in the 10th. Kopech hasn't been very effective in a closing role for Chicago -- he hasn't notched a save since May 15 and is just 5-for-9 in save opportunities this season. He has a 4.91 ERA and 1.50 WHIP over 29.1 innings, though his 13.2 K/9 is characteristic of what most teams look for from a closer. Rotowire.com Today, 1:08 am
       
    • Produces both of team's two runs
      Soderstrom went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Twins on Thursday.

      Advice: Soderstrom got Oakland off to a strong start with a two-run blast in the second inning, but the team was unable to add any additional scores thereafter. The long ball gave the suddenly hot first baseman three homers over his past four games and extended his hitting streak to five contests. Soderstrom is slashing .353/.450/.882 with six RBI, five runs and a 3:2 BB:K over that stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 12:55 am
       
    • Michael Kopech blows save, gets win
      Michael Kopech blew a save but picked up a win while allowing a run over an inning of work against the Mariners on Thursday.

      Advice: Kopech gets the win despite allowing a game-tying homer to Julio Rodriguez with two outs in the ninth. The win stat has zero flaws and anyone who suggests otherwise is providing falsehoods. Kopech continues to show the stuff to miss bats, but the command leaves way too much to be desired to completely trust. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:23 pm
       
    • Soderstrom blasts fourth home run Thursday
      Tyler Soderstrom went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Twins on Thursday.

      Advice: Soderstrom took Joe Ryan out in the second inning for a two-run home run when Ryan hung a splitter. It was his fourth home run of the season. Soderstrom once again started at first base. Fantasy managers will have to wait for him to get more starts at catcher so he could gain some fantasy relevancy. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:51 pm
       
    • Jacob Young goes 0-for-3 in loss to Tigers
      Jacob Young finished 0-for-3 against the Tigers on Thursday and is 2-for-23 in his last seven games.

      Advice: Young did have two hard-hit balls today, which is notable considering that his 25% hard-hit rate is among the lowest in the majors. Power isn’t at all Young’s game, but it’s disturbing that his OBP has collapsed. He’s hit .217 and walked just three times in 99 plate appearances since May 10. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:28 pm

    • Randy Arozarena (hamstring) rejoins Rays lineup
      Randy Arozarena (hamstring) is back in the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Cubs.

      Advice: Arozarena is playing left field and batting second against the Cubs after being held out of the lineup for the last two games of the series due to right hamstring tightness. He was able to pinch-hit each of the last two nights and remained in to play left field last night. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:54 pm
       
    • Returns to Tampa Bay lineup
      Arozarena (hamstring) will start in left field and bat second in Thursday's game versus the Cubs.

      Advice: Arozarena missed the previous two contests with right hamstring tightness but is feeling well enough to give it a go in this one. The 29-year-old will bring a disappointing .599 OPS into play Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:19 pm
       
    • Bounces back
      Kopech struck out two and walked one without allowing a hit in a scoreless ninth inning Wednesday against the Mariners.

      Advice: Kopech imploded to allow three earned runs and blow a lead in an appearance Monday, but he managed to bounce back in this outing. He entered the game with the score tied at 1-1 and turned in just his third scoreless effort in his last five appearances. Kopech remains the White Sox's primary closer, though his last save came on May 15. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:43 am
       
    • Sharp in third straight win
      Irvin (5-5) picked up the win Wednesday, allowing one run on six hits and a walk over six innings in a 7-5 victory over the Tigers. He struck out five.

      Advice: The right-hander continues his breakout campaign, winning his third straight trip to the mound while delivering his fifth consecutive quality start. Irvin boasts a 3.00 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 69:15 K:BB through 81 innings on the season, and he'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which lines up to come at home early next week against the Diamondbacks.
