  • CWS Starting Pitcher #77
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Chris Flexen allowed two runs on six hits over six innings in a no-decision against the Red Sox on Sunday.
    Flexen struck out six and walked one while posting a 26 percent whiff rate and 25 percent CSW on the day. Nothing was over-powering here, but Flexen missed bats with his curve and was yet another pitcher to simply challenge the Red Sox with fastballs and win. Oh, Flexen throws 91.8 mph. He’s lined up to face the Athletics and Angels in his next two starts, so could be worth an add in deeper formats.
  • TEX Starting Pitcher #17

    Nathan Eovaldi allowed just two hits and one walk over five shutout innings with five strikeouts in a 6-0 win over the Orioles on Wednesday.
    Eovaldi was back to his usual tricks in this one after a rough return from the injured list last time out. He forced multiple swings-and-misses with his fastball, cutter, and splitter and the Orioles were never able to get anything going against him. However, he was only able to work up to 72 pitches in this outing. The Rangers are continuing to limit Eovaldi’s workload after he spent a month on the IL and returned to the team without going out on a rehab assignment. Expect him to stay around this 75-pitch limit next time out against the Angels.

    Eric Samulski breaks down the impacts of Kerry Carpenter's injury for the Detroit Tigers, highlighting which players fan can expect to step up and how the team will rotate its DH spot.
  • TEX Shortstop #2
    Marcus Semien went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run on Wednesday against the Orioles.
    It feels like Semien has finally turned a corner. With this home run, he now has five since the beginning of June and a 1.012 OPS over his last 30 games. While second base is a complete wasteland at the moment, now is the time to trust Semien once again.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #19
    Tomoyuki Sugano allowed 10 hits and six runs with one walk and five strikeouts over 4 2/3 innings in a loss against the Rangers on Wednesday.
    The Rangers absolutely teed off on Sugano after they went around their order one time. Marcus Semien got the party started with a three-run homer in the third inning. They rallied for two more in the fourth and Corey Seager crushed a 420 foot home run in the fifth. Sugano was mercifully pulled from the game soon thereafter and has now allowed 13 earned runs over his past two starts. After a strong start to the season, he now has a 4.44 ERA after it sat at 3.04 less than a month ago. He’s scheduled to face the Mets next time out in his last start before the All-Star break.
  • TOR 3rd Baseman #47
    Addison Barger had a three-run homer in the first and an RBI single in the eighth to help the Blue Jays hold off the Yankees 11-9 on Wednesday.
    The Jays scored seven runs in the first and led 8-0 after four, only to watch the Yankees come all of the way back and tie the game at 9-9 in the top of the eighth. Barger’s fourth RBI came as part of a two-run bottom of the eighth in which the go-ahead run scored on a wild pitch. Barger now has 10 homers and an .818 OPS in 229 plate appearances this season. He had seven homers and a .601 OPS in 225 plate appearances as a rookie last year.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #17
    Handed an 8-0 lead, José Berríos couldn’t secure a win against the Yankees on Wednesday, giving up six runs in 4 1/3 innings.
    All of the runs scored in the fifth, which started with four straight singles prior to a long 391-foot double from Aaron Judge. After a Cody Bellinger lineout, Giancarlo Stanton hit a three-run homer to end Berríos’s night. Berríos’s last seven starts have seen him given up zero runs three times, one run twice and six runs twice. He’ll probably bounce back next time out against the White Sox.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher #23
    Jeff Hoffman threw a scoreless ninth with a two-run lead for his 20th save Wednesday against the Yankees.
    It was a wild game, but Hoffman avoided a dramatic ninth, giving up only a soft single to Trent Grisham before getting Ben Rice to pop out to end it. Hoffman is the fourth pitcher to reach 20 saves this season, joining Josh Hader, Robert Suarez and Carlos Estévez.
  • NYY Starting Pitcher #98
    Will Warren was lit up for eight runs in four innings by the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
    The Jays had seven runs before Warren got his second out in the first inning, so it’s really rather impressive that he got through four like he did. He didn’t have much luck early, either; while he did give up two homers, he also surrendered four singles on non-hard-hit balls in the first. A nine-pitch walk to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was awfully rough, too. Warren has been good enough recently that it’s worth sticking with him for his upcoming matchup against the Mariners.
  • NYY Relief Pitcher #38
    After being brought into a tie game in the eighth, Devin Williams gave up two runs in an inning to take a loss to the Blue Jays on Wednesday.
    Williams walked George Springer with one out, intentionally walked Vladimir Guerrero Jr. with a 1-0 count after Springer stole second, got a long flyout that allowed both runners to advance, threw a wild pitch to score Springer and then gave up a clean single to Addison Barger that plated Vlad. It’s a bad result, but it doesn’t give away all of the ground Williams has made up these last two months. He hadn’t allowed a run since May 27, and he has only one blown save on the season. He’s still pretty clearly the Yankees’ primary closer for now.
  • TOR Left Fielder #36
    Davis Schneider hit a pair of homers Wednesday to knock in three runs against the Yankees.
    Schneider was in the lineup against a right-hander for just the fourth time this season and came through nicely, homering off Will Warren in the first and lefty reliever Tim Hill in the seventh. They were his second and third homers in 71 plate appearances this season. He’s batting .228/.380/.421 while mostly playing versus southpaws.
  • NYY Right Fielder #27
    Giancarlo Stanton’s first homer of the year was a three-run shot off the Jays’ José Berríos on Wednesday.
    Stanton hit a ball 415 feet off Berríos in the fifth. It was his 430th career homer, leaving him one behind Cal Ripken Jr. for 50th place all-time. Stanton also had a walk tonight, leaving him at .244/.346/.333 in 13 games since returning from his elbow injuries.
