  • Angels' Carlos Estevez: Has nightmare ninth

    Estevez (0-1) blew the save and took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on three hits with two strikeouts over two-thirds of an inning against Philadelphia.

    Each of the three hits against Estevez went for extra bases, with Nick Castellanos hitting a solo homer and Johan Rojas bringing in Bryson Stott -- who reached on a ground-rule double -- on a two-run homer to give the Phillies the lead. Estevez has now surrendered one or more runs in three of his last four appearances, a stretch that ballooned his ERA from 0.00 to 6.23 and resulted in a pair of blown saves. While his closing job seems to be safe for now, Matt Moore and Luis Garcia would be the names to know if Estevez begins to cede ninth-inning work.

  • Tyler Anderson SP | LAA

    Angels' Tyler Anderson: Locks down quality start

    Anderson didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks over six innings against Philadelphia. He struck out six.

    Anderson secured his fourth quality start of the campaign Tuesday and logged at least six K's for a second consecutive outing. All of the damage against Anderson came in the second inning when Kyle Schwarber launched a three-run homer. Although Anderson has surrendered five home runs in his last four starts, he still owns a solid 3.63 ERA with 19 strikeouts during that stretch.

  • Royals' James McArthur: Up to seven saves

    McArthur picked up the save in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jays, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning.

    McArthur improved to 7-for-8 in save chances this season while extending his scoreless-inning streak to 10.2. The 27-year-old right-hander lowered his ERA to 2.63 with a 1.17 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB across 12 appearances (13.2 innings) this year.

  • J.J. Bleday LF | CIN

    Athletics' JJ Bleday: Swats two homers

    Bleday went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and a solo shot during Tuesday's 5-2 win over Pittsburgh.

    Bleday went yard twice for the first time in his career Tuesday, tagging Mitch Keller for a solo shot in the fifth and Josh Fleming for a two-run homer in the seventh for his second and third long balls of the campaign. The contest was Bleday's first multi-hit game since April 14. However, he's racked up an extra-base hit in seven of his last nine contests with six walks and five strikeouts during that stretch.

  • Jose Berrios SP | TOR

    Blue Jays' Jose Berrios: Hard-luck loss Tuesday

    Berrios (4-2) took the loss Tuesday against the Royals, allowing two runs on five hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out three.

    Berrios was solid Tuesday, holding the Royals to two runs on a Michael Massey homer in the second inning en route to a sixth quality start in seven outings this year. However, the 29-year-old Berrios was ultimately stuck with a second straight loss to Kansas City as the Blue Jays could only muster a lone run off Cole Ragans. Berrios lowered his ERA to an excellent 1.44 with a 1.01 WHIP and 31:13 K:BB through 43.2 innings this season. He'll look to get back in the win column in his next start, currently lined up for next week in Philadelphia.

  • Alex Wood RP | ATH

    Athletics' Alex Wood: Iffy against Pirates

    Wood didn't factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks over four innings against Pittsburgh. He struck out four.

    Although Wood was charged with only two runs allowed, his start shouldn't spark much optimism for fantasy managers. He walked four batters for the second time this season and surrendered a home run to Connor Joe in the first frame to mark his fifth straight start allowing a long ball. While he's yielded four or more runs three times this season, he's held opponents to two or fewer in three starts as well, leaving his overall ERA at 6.32. He's lined up to make his next start Monday against the Rangers.

  • Mason Miller RP | SD

    Athletics' Mason Miller: Lights out for eighth save

    Miller picked up the save Tuesday against Oakland, striking out three during a perfect ninth inning.

    Miller capped off April with yet another dominant display, punching out all three batters he faced. He appeared in 11 games during the month, allowing four hits and three walks with 30 strikeouts over 12.1 scoreless innings. He's also converted all eight of his save chances in 2024, giving him the sixth-most saves in MLB.

  • Astros' Victor Caratini: Hits pinch-hit walk-off

    Caratini went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run during Tuesday's 10-9 extra-inning win over the Guardians.

    Caratini pinch-hit for Jake Meyers in the 10th frame and delivered the game-winning home run. The long ball was his second of the campaign and marked his third straight game scoring a run. While Caratini is slashing .314/.368/.571 with eight runs scored and eight RBI in 38 at-bats, he's been overshadowed by starting catcher Yainer Diaz, who has also been excellent at the plate.

  • Josh Naylor 1B | SEA

    Guardians' Josh Naylor: Swats three-run homer

    Naylor went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional run scored during Tuesday's 10-9 loss to the Astros.

    Naylor launched his seventh home run of the campaign and scored multiple times for the second time this season. Even with Naylor's long ball, he's batting 3-for-22 (.136) over his last six games. However, he's added a pair of stolen bases and has struck out four times to three walks during that stretch.

  • Matt Manning SP | PHI

    Tigers' Matt Manning: Returns to Toledo

    The Tigers returned Manning to Triple-A Toledo after Tuesday's win over St. Louis.

    Manning allowed four runs in 4.2 innings and walked away with a no-decision during his third start of the year. The 26-year-old righty has often been the Tigers' first choice to come up from the minors for spot starts, and there's a good chance he gets a few more opportunities to pitch in the big leagues as the season goes on.
