    • Ben Brown no-hits the Brewers for seven innings
      Ben Brown pitched seven innings of no-hit ball in the Cubs’ win over the Brewers on Tuesday.

      Advice: Brown was excellent in this one. The righty needed just 41 pitches to get through the first four innings and struck out six of the first 12 batters he faced to start the game. His two walks allowed were his lone blemishes on the evening, but Brown has now allowed just two hits in his last 13 innings pitched while boasting a 19/5 K/BB ratio. Brown lowered his ERA to 2.72 on the season but was robbed of his second win after Hector Neris blew a save opportunity in the ninth. Brown will look to continue his hot streak in his next start on Sunday against the Reds. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:58 pm
       
    • Alex Vesia notches six-out save against Mets
      Alex Vesia recorded a six-out save on Tuesday against the Mets.

      Advice: Vesia got the call to protect a three-run lead during the second half of Tuesday’s doubleheader at Citi Field and needed just 30 pitches (16 strikes) to record the final six outs. It was his second save of the season. There won’t be a ton of save chances for the 28-year-old lefty moving forward with closer Evan Phillips likely to return later this week from the injured list.

    • Rockies outright Matt Koch to Triple-A
      Rockies sent RHP Matt Koch outright to Triple-A Albuquerque.

      Advice: Koch unsurprisingly went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week by Colorado. The 33-year-old righty could wind up electing free agency, but will likely stick around as extra organizational depth. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:06 pm

    • Blake Treinen records first save since 2021
      Blake Treinen tossed a perfect 10th inning on Tuesday against the Mets to record his first save of the season.

      Advice: Treinen was summoned to protect a three-run lead in extra innings during the opening contest of Tuesday’s doubleheader at Citi Field and needed just 13 pitches (nine strikes) to hurl a flawless frame. He struck out Brett Baty, got Tomás Nido to fly out and fanned Francisco Lindor to preserve the victory. It was his first save in the majors since the 2021 campaign.

    • Adam Ottavino blows save Tuesday vs. Dodgers
      Adam Ottavino allowed one run in the ninth inning on Tuesday in a blown save against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Ottavino got the call over Edwin Díaz to protect a one-run lead in the final frame and wound up surrendering three straight hits, including a game-tying hit single to Chris Taylor. The veteran righty managed to wriggle out of the jam without any further damage, but the Mets wound up falling in extra innings. Not great. It’s unclear where manager Carlos Mendoza will go from here, but we’re guessing Díaz will probably wind up getting the next save chance. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:58 pm
       
    • Has upcoming bullpen
      Bukauskas (triceps) will throw a bullpen Friday, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

      Advice: Bukauskas was transferred to the 60-day injured list May 10 due a right triceps strain that had originally been classified as a lat strain when he first hit the IL on April 14. If his bullpen session goes well, he could soon progress to what would figure to be a lengthy rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:47 pm

    • Rehab assignment on tap
      Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said Tuesday that a decision on where Gallegos (shoulder) will begin a rehab assignment will be made Wednesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The right-hander threw a live bullpen session over the weekend and had another bullpen session Tuesday, clearing him to begin a minor-league rehab assignment. Gallegos landed on the shelf with a pinched nerve in his shoulder in early May, and he should be able to rejoin the Cardinals after a short stay in the minor leagues.

    • Keynan Middleton (forearm) suffers setback
      Cardinal manager Oliver Marmol told reporters Tuesday that Keynan Middleton is undergoing additional imaging on his right forearm.

      Advice: It’s yet another setback for Middleton, who has yet to throw a pitch this season for St. Louis after signing as a free agent. The 30-year-old righty started a minor league rehab assignment earlier this month, but appears to still be dealing with flexor tendon pain. There is no timetable for his return at the moment.

    • Undergoing imaging
      Middleton (forearm) is getting imaging done and will be checked out by team doctors Tuesday, John Denton of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Middleton reported soreness after making back-to-back rehab appearances at Double-A Springfield and will get evaluated by the team. He's been sidelined since March with a strained right forearm and was close to being activated from the 15-day IL before suffering the setback. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:47 pm
