    Simeon Woods Richardson allowed three hits while striking out five over six innings in Tuesday’s loss to the Phillies
    Woods Richardson went toe-to-toe with Phillies starter Zack Wheeler all night. The righty allowed just four baserunners on the evening and didn’t allow a run to a potent Phillies lineup. The Phillies scattered three singles across the six frames Woods Richardson pitched as they were held in check all night in an old-fashioned pitcher’s duel. Woods Richardson has allowed two runs or less in each of his last three starts and lowered his ERA on the season to 3.27 in this one. His efforts weren’t enough to earn him the win, but he’ll look to repeat this solid outing on Monday when he’s slated to start against the Tigers.

    José Berríos cruised through six innings Monday against the White Sox, allowing one run and two hits in his fifth win of the year.
    Berríos excelled even though his velocity was down about 1.5 mph tonight. Between that and the early hook after 72 pitches, we wouldn’t be surprised to learn that he was under the weather or something. It’s the sixth time in eight starts that Berríos has allowed one or no runs. Unfortunately, he did give up six in the other two, but even so, his ERA has declined from 4.22 to 3.53 during the stretch. He’ll face the A’s in his final start of the first half.
    Why Henriquez and Gelof are waiver wire targets
    Eric Samulski claims that Marlins' Ronny Henriquez and Athletics' Zack Gelof are two potential waiver wire targets, explaining why each could be added to any league type.
  • CWS Starting Pitcher #59
    Sean Burke was tagged for six runs and three homers in five innings by the Blue Jays on Monday.
    Burke had his best velocity of the season in his previous two outings, but pitching on four days’ rest tonight for the first time since May 11, his stuff wasn’t as good, and he induced just three missed swings in the 85-pitch outing. It’s the first time this season that he’s given up three homers, and he dropped to 4-8 with a 4.40 ERA. The White Sox have no off days this week, so barring a change, Burke is due to pitch again Saturday against the Guardians.
  • CWS Right Fielder #18
    Mike Tauchman went 3-for-5 with a double and two RBI against the Blue Jays on Monday.
    Martín Pérez, Josh Rojas and Tauchman were the White Sox’s three biggest offseason signings, added to provide some leadership for a young team but mostly in the hopes of returning a prospect at the deadline. That dream is dead in the case of Pérez and on life support when it comes to Rojas, but Tauchman should get the team something; he’s hit .299/.382/.458 in 165 plate appearances while healthy.
  • STL Starting Pitcher #54
    Sonny Gray will start on Tuesday against the Nationals.
    The Cardinals are altering their rotation plans this week to get Gray an extra start before the All-Star break instead of giving Andre Pallante the ball for Sunday’s first-half finale against Atlanta. It’s a nice break for fantasy managers as Gray ends up with a two-start week instead of just one outing prior to the Midsummer Classic.
  • KC Shortstop #7
    Bobby Witt Jr. went 2-for-3 with a homer and three RBI in the Royals’ 9-3 rout of the Pirates on Monday.
    Witt has hit in 11 straight games after slumping during the middle of June. He’s back up to .296/.346/.503 for the season now. He also scored twice tonight, making this just the third time all year that he’s had multiple runs and multiple RBI in the same game for a cruddy Royals offense. He had 11 such games last year.
  • KC Starting Pitcher #65
    Noah Cameron limited the Pirates to two runs and three hits over seven innings in a victory Monday.
    The Royals had lost Cameron’s previous six starts, though that says a lot more about their offense than his pitching; he threw scoreless ball in three of those games. Cameron got to face a Royals-like offense tonight, as the Pirates had Ke’Bryan Hayes batting fifth and Jared Triolo starting at first base. Cameron wound up striking out seven and walking one while completing seven innings for the first time. He’s 3-4 with a 2.56 ERA, and he’s set to get the Mets on the final day before the break.
  • PIT Starting Pitcher #45
    Andrew Heaney was pulled after allowing four runs in three innings Monday against the Royals.
    Heaney’s velocity has been down all year, but at least he’s been consistent; he’d averaged in between 89.8 and 90.5 mph with his fastball every start until tonight, when he was down to 89.5 mph despite not pitching very deep into the game. His slider was actually down 1.8 mph from his season average. It seems like bad news for a pitcher the Pirates are certainly planning to trade later this month. Heaney dropped to 4-8 with a 4.41 ERA. He’ll likely face the Twins on Sunday.
  • KC Catcher #13
    Salvador Perez contributed a homer and an RBI double Monday in the win over the Pirates.
    Perez also homered Sunday against the D-backs. He’s batting .263 with seven homers and 23 RBI in his last 26 games, taking his OPS from .608 to .686. That .686 is the highest he’s been since the fifth game of the season.
  • ARI 2nd Baseman #4
    Ketel Marte was scratched from Monday’s lineup with right groin tightness.
    It sounds like a precautionary decision since Marte was in Arizona’s original lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Padres. The 31-year-old All-Star second baseman is day-to-day for now. It’ll be Blaze Alexander taking over at the keystone on Monday night in his absence. It doesn’t sound like a massive concern, but fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status over the remainder of the week.
  • DET 3rd Baseman #33
    Colt Keith went 3-for-4 with a solo homer on Monday, leading the Tigers to a 5-1 victory over the Rays.
    Keith capped off an impressive three-hit performance with a solo shot to right field — his seventh round-tripper of the season — against Rays reliever Paul Gercase in the seventh inning. He’s been on a tear leading up to next week’s All-Star break, hitting .321 (17-for-53) with three homers and seven RBI over his last 15 games.
