Hunter Brown

HOU Starting Pitcher #58

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Hunter Brown (elbow) allowed one run on three hits in 4 1/3 innings for Triple-A Sugar Land on Thursday.

He struck out four and walked one while throwing 38 of his 57 pitches for strikes. He touched 98.9 mph during the outing and had 10 whiffs, including five on his four-seam fastball. It’s likely that the right-hander will need one more rehab start before returning in line with his mid-June timeline from weeks ago.
Dylan Cease

TOR Starting Pitcher #84

Dylan Cease (hamstring) allowed five runs on six hits in four innings for Triple-A Buffalo on Thursday.

The veteran also struck out six and walked one while throwing 50 of his 75 pitches for strikes and hitting 99 mph on the radar gun. The results clearly aren’t great, but Cease had solid command and showed his usual velocity, and those are the main concerns. He should be able to rejoin the Blue Jays rotation next week and be up over 80 pitches in that outing.
Mick Abel

MIN Starting Pitcher #20

Mick Abel (elbow) touched 97 mph on the radar gun during a 37-pitch live batting practice session on Thursday.

The 24-year-old has been sidelined since April 20th with elbow inflammation, but he described his outing on Thursday as “free and easy” and claims his body feels great. While there is no timeline for his return, it seems like he could begin a rehab assignment next week and potentially return to the Twins’ rotation before the end of June.
Jake Bennett

BOS Starting Pitcher #64

MLB.com’s Ian Browne mentioned that Jake Bennett is “a strong candidate” to be recalled by the Red Sox to replace Brayan Bello in the rotation.

The Red Sox will add reliever Joe La Sorsa for the weekend, but they will need a fifth starter on Tuesday, and Bennett is the leading candidate for the job. Bennett was solid in two starts for the Red Sox earlier this season, but has gone down to Triple-A and dominated since then. On the season, Bennett has a 1.60 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and 41/9 K/BB ratio in 39 1/3 innings at Triple-A this season. He is unlikely to replicate those strikeout numbers in the big leagues, but he could be a solid streaming option due to his deep arsenal and solid command.
Spencer Jones

NYY Right Fielder #78

YES Network’s Jack Curry reported that the Yankees will call up Spencer Jones with Aaron Judge (ribs) headed to the injured list.

Jones was demoted back on May 21st after hitting .167 (4-for-24) with 12 strikeouts in 27 plate appearances. With Jasson Dominguez also beginning a rehab assignment on Friday, Jones doesn’t need to be a target in many fantasy leagues.
Ketel Marte

AZ 2nd Baseman #4

Ketel Marte ripped a 431-foot homer off Tanner Scott in the bottom of the ninth to give the D-backs a 3-2 win over the Dodgers on Thursday.

Marte just crushed a 97-mph fastball, showing off 84.9 mph of bat speed in the process. That’s the 14th-highest bat speed on a homer this year, and Marte also checks in at No. 7 on that list at 86.1 mph (Nick Kurtz tops the list at 87.7 mph, followed by James Wood at 87.5 mph and Oneil Cruz at both 87.1 mph and 87.0 mph). Marte has 11 homers and 37 RBI through 58 games and still figures to do a little better going forward.
Max Muncy

LAD 3rd Baseman #13

Max Muncy was removed from Thursday’s game against the Diamondbacks after a collision with Ildemaro Vargas at first base.

Muncy was hustling in an attempt to beat out an infield single when he and Vargas were involved in a nasty head-on collision at the first base bag. The Dodgers announced that Muncy was pulled due to shortness of breath and will undergo evaluation for a potential concussion. He’ll continue to be evaluated but his availability for the weekend is certainly in doubt at the moment.
Jared Jones

PIT Starting Pitcher #17

Jared Jones was brilliant during Thursday night’s victory over the Astros, firing five innings of scoreless baseball with four strikeouts.

Jones scattered four hits and a pair of walks on the evening. The Astros put pressure on him in the opening inning by putting the first two runners on, but Jones battled back to strike out each of the next three hitters in order to quell that threat. From there, he was on cruise control over the next four innings, needing just 74 pitches (44 strikes) to complete five innings. Jones got 12 whiffs on the night — six of those on his slider — while posting a CSW of 27 percent. He’ll look to replicate this terrific effort as he does battle against the Dodgers on Wednesday.
Pete Crow-Armstrong

CHC Center Fielder #4

Pete Crow-Armstrong had a solo homer in the sixth and a game-winning single in the ninth as the Cubs beat the A’s 7-6 on Thursday.

The Cubs’ season seemed to be at another low point after Crow-Armstrong lost a fly to center in the sky in the top of the sixth, giving Shea Langeliers an inside-the-park two-run homer. PCA did come right back with a solo shot in the bottom of the inning, but the game seemed out of reach until the ninth, when the Cubs amassed seven hits and four runs to walk it off. The homer off J.T. Ginn was Crow-Armstrong’s ninth of the season and 50th as a major leaguer. He also collected his 13th stolen base tonight.
Shea Langeliers

ATH Catcher #23

Shea Langeliers had two homers, including an inside-the-parker on a ball lost in the sky, in the loss to the Cubs on Thursday.

The first homer was a 369-foot fly to right-center that would have left 10 ballparks. The second should have been a routine fly to deep center. Pete Crow-Armstrong, though, lost it almost immediately and just stood rooted to his spot instead of backing up and at least hoping the ball would fall in front of him and he could prevent a run. It’s Langeliers’ ninth career multihomer game and third of this season. He had been quiet of late, hitting .145/.254/.290 with three RBI in his previous 16 games.
