Player Notes

  • Quality start in no-decision
    Webb did not factor into the decision in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Cubs, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over seven innings. He struck out five.

    Advice: Webb collected his third consecutive quality start and 12th of the season with a solid 101-pitch outing. The San Francisco ace's only blemish of the game came in the second inning when he allowed a 401-foot two-run home run to Dansby Swanson. With this outing, Webb pushed his ERA down to 2.99 over 99.1 innings this year. He'll look to eclipse the 100-inning threshold for the fourth consecutive season in his next start, currently slated come against the Cardinals on the road. Rotowire.com Today, 8:09 pm
  • Jonathan Cannon barely misses shutout in first win
    Jonathan Cannon shut out the Astros for 8 2/3 innings, striking out four, in a 2-0 win for the White Sox on Tuesday.

    Advice: That’ll do. It’s the first major league victory for Cannon, who came in with a 4.56 ERA in four starts and one relief appearance. Facing a lineup missing Yordan Alvarez and Kyle Tucker, Cannon gave up seven hits tonight, but just one went for extra bases. He walked only one before coming out with two on in a 2-0 game in the ninth. There doesn’t seem like a ton of upside here, but between the sinker, sweeper and cutter, Cannon has the potential to last as a major league starter. He’s still a weak bet for fantasy purposes while pitching for one of the league’s worst teams. Rotoworld Today, 8:04 pm
  • John Brebbia notches one-out save
    John Brebbia got one out in the ninth for his second save Tuesday against the Astros.

    Advice: Jonathan Cannon nearly had the shutout, but after two reached with two outs in a 2-0 game in the ninth, the White Sox had to go to the pen. Brebbia was the choice, which was kind of surprising since Michael Kopech hadn’t worked in five days. He got Victor Caratini to ground out and lowered his ERA to 5.81. Rotoworld Today, 8:04 pm
  • Framber Valdez surrenders two runs in loss
    Framber Valdez pitched six innings of two-run ball Tuesday in a loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: Valdez allowed just two hits, but he walked five batters, which fueled the rallies in the third and fifth innings. Valdez worked out of big jams to limit the White Sox to single runs both innings, but the Astros offense did nothing to back him tonight. Rotoworld Today, 8:04 pm
  • Jake Meyers goes 0-for-3 in loss to White Sox
    Jake Meyers went 0-for-3 in the loss to the White Sox on Tuesday.

    Advice: It’s a fourth straight hitless game for Meyers, who is in a 10-for-65 slump that has dropped his OPS from .898 to .713. The good news for Meyers is that with José Abreu gone and Chas McCormick still in the doghouse, there isn’t much of a playing time crunch in Houston right now. That’ll change if McCormick picks it up or maybe if Joey Loperfido is given a chance later this month. Rotoworld Today, 8:04 pm
  • Imaging comes back negative
    Judge said Tuesday that X-rays and CT scans on his left hand came back negative, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Judge had to leave Tuesday's game against Baltimore after taking a fastball off his hand, but he now appears to have avoided a significant injury. The 32-year-old slugger also said he aims to return without missing any games, though he is dealing with a bit of swelling which could sideline him for a day or two, per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News.

  • Jansen picks up 13th save in win over Blue Jays
    Kenley Jansen pitched a scoreless ninth in Tuesday’s win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Jansen has now picked up saves in back-to-back days and has recorded four saves in the month of June. The hard-throwing righty has allowed one run in his last 6 1/3 innings pitched while striking out eight batters to just one walk. Rotoworld Today, 7:48 pm
  • Rafaela has three-hit night in win over Blue Jays
    Ceddanne Rafaela went 3-for-4 and a double and one RBI in Tuesday’s win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The Red Sox’s No. 9 hitter came up big on Tuesday as his third hit drove in the go-ahead run to complete the comeback over the Jays. Rafaela has been hot of late, hitting in seven straight games while going 16-for-26 over that span. He’s slashing a solid .377/.406/.475 in June but continues to strike out at a high rate (32.8 percent) when he’s not getting on base. We’ll see how long this hot-hitting continues for the young centerfielder. Rotoworld Today, 7:44 pm
  • Ernie Clement drives in two in loss to Red Sox
    Ernie Clement went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Red Sox.

    Advice: Clement doubled in the second inning to score Justin Turner and Addison Barger, giving the Jays an early 2-1 lead. Clement has now hit safely in three straight games and has four RBI to his name over that stretch. Clement is batting a blistering .429 in the month of June with six RBI and six extra-base hits.
