  • PIT Starting Pitcher #57
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Pirates RHP prospect Bubba Chandler struck out six and allowed two runs over four innings on Sunday for Triple-A Indianapolis.
    We’re getting close here. Chandler touched triple digits on four separate occasions with his four-seam fastball and averaged 98.8 mph on the offering. The hard-throwing 22-year-old generated 10 swinging strikes and finished with an elite 42 percent CSW on 52 pitches, throwing 37 strikes. He’s arguably the top pitching prospect in the minor leagues at this stage and should get a chance to contribute for Pittsburgh at some point in the coming weeks.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #96

    Landon Knack allowed four runs on four hits in 3 1/3 innings in a no-decision against the Mets on Thursday.
    Knack also walked five and struck out just one while allowing three home runs. He has a 5.12 ERA on the season and has shown little fantasy value other than pitching for the Dodgers. We’d recommend looking elsewhere in most fantasy formats.
    'Hold on' to Braves' Harris II in fantasy leagues
    Despite Michael Harris II's disappointing numbers thus far, Eric Samulski highlights why fantasy managers should still find a roster spot for the Braves' outfielder.
  • NYM Starting Pitcher #23
    David Peterson allowed three runs on seven hits in seven innings in a no-decision against the Dodgers on Thursday.
    Peterson seemed to be cruising to a win before this Mets bullpen allowed three runs in the eighth inning to cough up the game. The left-hander struck out six on the day while walking two and posting a 29 percent whiff rate and 30 percent CSW. He got plenty of whiffs on his slider, and the four-seamer controlled the zone for much of the day. Peterson has been great this year, with a 2.80 ERA so far. He’s in a good spot against the Nationals next week.
  • BAL Relief Pitcher #43
    Bryan Baker pitched a scoreless ninth inning to earn a save and preserve a 4-3 win over the Mariners on Thursday.
    Baker now has two saves on the season, and both of them have come this week. Felix Bautista was unavailable after throwing 27 pitches in back-to-back appearances in the two previous games, but it’s nice to know that Baker is the clear second option in Baltimore. The Orioles aren’t going to want to tax Bautista too much in his first year back from injury, so if this team starts to string together some wins, Baker could steal a few saves.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #24
    Zach Eflin allowed three runs on eight hits in six innings in a win over the Mariners on Thursday.
    He also struck out seven while walking nobody and registering a 31 percent whiff rate and 34 percent CSW. It was a solid start for Eflin, who got plenty of whiffs on his curve and sweeper, and pounded the zone with his cutter. He’ll be in for a tough test against the Tigers next week, but Eflin could also be an attractive name on the trade market if the Orioles continue to fall out of the playoff picture.
  • SEA Starting Pitcher #22
    Bryan Woo allowed four runs on four hits in six innings in a loss to the Orioles on Thursday.
    He also struck out six and walked two while posting a 29 percent whiff rate and 32 percent CSW. The right-hander had allowed just one run on two hits through the first five innings, but a leadoff walk to Jackson Holliday turned into a two-run homer by Adley Rutschman, and then Gunnar Henderson followed with a solo shot. Woo was able to pitch himself out of the inning, but the damage had been done. He’ll take a 3.07 ERA into a tough start in Arizona next week.
  • SEA Catcher #29
    Cal Raleith went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in a loss to the Orioles on Thursday.
    Raleigh is now up to 24 home runs on the year while slashing .268/.337/.638 and driving in 49 runs. He has been tremendous value for anybody who invested in him as an early-round catcher.
  • BAL Catcher #35
    Adley Rutschman went 3-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, and a run scored in a win over the Mariners on Thursday.
    Rutschman launched a 337-foot home run off Bryan Woo that left the bat at 103.5 mph for his seventh of the season. He also had a 106.6 mph single and a 105.3 mph lineout on the day. The 27-year-old struggled to start the season, but nothing in his underlying metrics suggested he should have been. Since the calendar has flipped to June, Rutschman is 7-for-13 with two home runs, three RBI, and four runs scored. The buy-low window may be closing.
  • BOS Catcher #18
    Red Sox sent C Blake Sabol outright to Triple-A Worcester.
    The 27-year-old had been designated for assignment over the weekend, but he passed through waivers unclaimed and will continue to function as extra depth behind the plate for the Red Sox. Sabol went 2-for-16 (.125) with one RBI and a 7/1 K/BB ratio in his limited action with the big league club.
  • TEX Left Fielder #32
    Evan Carter is not in the Rangers’ starting lineup for Thursday night’s battle against the Rays in Tampa Bay.
    The 22-year-old outfielder will get a breather after starting each of the first two games since returning from the injured list on Tuesday. Alejandro Osuna will draw a start in left field with Wyatt Langford sliding over to cover center field in Carter’s absence.
  • SD 2nd Baseman #4
    Luis Arraez was removed from Thursday’s battle against the Giants due to posterior soreness in his left knee.
    Arraez had been 1-for-3 with a run scored before exiting. Padres’ manager Mike Shildt sounded optimistic about the injury after the game, calling the 28-year-old infielder day-to-day. Don’t be surprised if he gets an extra day off on Friday to be on the safe side, but it sounds like Arraez should be able to avoid a trip to the injured list.
