Remillard was outrighted to the minors last week after he cleared waivers. The 30-year-old doesn’t offer anything for fantasy managers and will continue to be an organizational depth piece for Chicago.

Pallante only gave up four hits in the contest, and he threw 68-of-100 offerings for strikes. Only one hit allowed went for extra bases, and he had the Pittsburgh hitters off-balance throughout the game in a very impressive start for the 25-year-old. Pallante was completely off fantasy radars to begin 2024, but he’s now crafted solid — if unspectacular — stats like a 3.87 ERA and 86/46 K/BB over 109 1/3 innings. You can do worse, that’s for sure.

Skenes was excellent again. His offense was not, as they couldn’t solve Andre Pallante for even a single run of support. The right-hander has not allowed more than two runs in a start since August 10, and he takes his first loss since that start against the Dodgers. This is a loaded NL rookie class, and Skenes has been as good — if not better than — all of them.

Iglesias is in the lineup while Francisco Lindor deals with a back injury. He got a clutch hit with a two-out RBI single in the eighth to tie the game. Iglesias is hitting .323 with three home runs and 24 RBI in 220 at-bats this year.

Irvin gave up four hits, walked one and struck out five. Irvin allowed a double to Tyron Taylor to start the eighth inning. Taylor scored to tie the game on a two-out RBI single by Jose Iglesias after Irvin was already out of the game. He pitched well enough to win, but the Nationals supported him with only one run. Irvin is 10-12 with a 4.07 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 150 strikeouts in 179 1/3 innings on the year. The 27-year-old right-hander is set to face the Cubs on the road this weekend.

The rules are the rules. Even though the Brewers won by four runs, Rea still gets the save because he entered in a save situation and finished the game. The stat might be flawed, folks. Rea has his first and all-but-assuredly last save of the year.

Civale did allow seven hits, but the only run that came across came on solo Brandon Marsh homer in the fifth. The 29-year-old issued one walk and struck out six in a solid outing versus a tough Philadelphia lineup. Civale has not been great nor anything close with Milwaukee, but he’s done just enough to keep his spot in the rotation. He’ll take a 4.48 ERA into a start Saturday versus the Diamondbacks.
