    • Andre Pallante allows five runs, still gets win
      Andre Pallante was charged with five runs over 5 1/3 innings on Thursday in a win over the Giants.

      Advice: Pallante drew the starting assignment for Thursday’s contest at historic Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama and gave the Cardinals some much-needed length in this outing, working into the sixth inning. He struck out five and also issued three walks. Of the seven hits he allowed, the costliest was a three-run shot to Heliot Ramos in the third inning, which accounted for most of the damage against him. He’ll take the ball on Wednesday against the Braves his next time out. Rotoworld Today, 7:55 pm

    • Elects free agency
      Tinoco elected free agency after being outrighted by the Rangers on Thursday.

      Advice: Tinoco had his contract selected May 23 but allowed nine earned runs across 10 innings and was designated for assignment Sunday. He was more effective with the Rangers in 2023, so he may be able to find a role with another club relatively quickly. Rotowire.com Today, 7:33 pm
       
    • Yankees option Ron Marinaccio to Triple-A
      Yankees optioned RHP Ron Marinaccio to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

      Advice: No surprise here as the Yankees are going to bring up some extra relief depth ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Braves after getting battered for 17 runs during Thursday’s series finale against the division-rival Orioles. Rotoworld Today, 6:32 pm
       
    • Back to minors
      Marinaccio was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

      Advice: The Yankees' bullpen was forced to cover 6.2 innings in Thursday's loss to the Orioles and will need at least one fresh arm for their weekend series against Atlanta. Marinaccio will head back to the minors as a result, though he also surrendered four earned runs across 6.1 innings in his latest stint in the majors. Rotowire.com Today, 6:26 pm
       
    • Marlins release veteran reliever Burch Smith
      Marlins released RHP Burch Smith.

      Advice: Smith passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment last week and the two sides have agreed to part ways. The 34-year-old journeyman reliever posted a respectable 4.25 ERA, 1.61 WHIP and 23/9 K/BB ratio across 29 2/3 innings (25 appearances) this season for Miami. He should be able to latch on somewhere else as extra organizational relief depth. Rotoworld Today, 5:49 pm
       
    • Jesus Tinoco elects free agency
      Rangers RHP Jesus Tinoco has elected free agency.

      Advice: Tinoco refused an outright minor league assignment to Triple-A Round Rock and will test the free agent waters instead. The 29-year-old righty posted a lackluster 8.10 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 9/7 K/BB ratio across 10 innings (nine appearances) this season for the defending World Series champions.

    • Stratton picks up fourth save Thursday
      Chris Stratton picked up the save against the Athletics on Thursday.

      Advice: Stratton’s save was his fourth of the year. James McArthur is still in the late inning mix for the Royals, but he entered in the seventh inning of a tie game. McArthur has only one save this month, but has finished four games. Rotoworld Today, 3:50 pm
       
    • Blach allows 10 hits, five runs in loss Thursday
      Ty Blach allowed five runs in four innings and took the loss against the Dodgers on Thursday.



      Advice: Blach gave up 10 hits, walked one and struck out two. He continues to give up hits in bunches as he’s now allowed 35 hits over his last four starts. Blach’s ERA is up to 5.13 on the season and he remains off the fantasy radar. The 33-year-old left-hander is set to face the Astros on the road next week.

    • Chris Flexen pitches well, but bullpen blows lead
      Chris Flexen held the Astros to just one run over six innings, but didn’t factor in the decision Thursday.

      Advice: Flexen pitched well, the White Sox bullpen did not. He scattered five hits while striking out six against three walks. The 29-year-old left the game with a 3-1 lead, but Chicago’s beleaguered relievers gave up the lead quickly after. Flexen gets the Dodgers next week. No thank you. Rotoworld Today, 2:04 pm
