Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried put forth another solid effort in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Phillies. Fried pitched 6 innings, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks with five strikeouts. The 28-year-old now has a 3.27 ERA with 52 strikeouts and eight walks over nine starts and 55 IP. Even more impressively, two-thirds of those starts have been quality starts. Fried will look to add another one in his next matchup against the Marlins at home.
Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Kyle Gibson threw 106 pitches but turned in a decent outing in Tuesday's 6-5 loss to the Braves. Gibson pitched 5 innings, allowing two runs on seven hits and a walk with eight strikeouts. The 34-year-old is now 3-2 with a 3.94 ERA, 45 strikeouts, and 14 walks over nine starts and 48 IP this season. He isn't the flashiest fantasy player, but he has continued to be a useful back-of-the-rotation option and is just 54-percent rostered. His next matchup will be a tougher matchup at the Mets, but he is a viable streaming option in points leagues.
Atlanta Braves closer Kenley Jansen got bailed out by his offense in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Phillies. Jansen entered to pitch the top of the ninth up 4-3. He got Rhys Hoskins to pop out for the first out, but then walked Alec Bohm and allowed a massive two-run home run to Bryce Harper before getting the final two outs on groundouts. Fortunately for him, the Braves were able to capitalize on a costly error in the bottom half of the inning to win the game 6-5, making Jansen the pitcher of record. The veteran started the season very well but has now allowed earned runs in each of his last three outings and has two blown saves in those games. There isn't really much for fantasy managers to do at this time, as Jansen is the team's clear closer and has a respectable 3.86 ERA. Hopefully, he can get things back on the right track in the coming days.
Minnesota Twins shortstop Carlos Correa continued his hot streak in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Tigers, going 1-for-3 with a double, an RBI, a walk, and a strikeout. Correa has hit .333 with four RBI in his last six games since returning from the injured list with a right middle finger contusion. It would take a lot for fantasy managers to become worried about Correa, but it is encouraging to see him performing well since returning from his injury. Hopefully, this streak will translate into more power production, as Correa has slugged just .391 on the season.
Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Jhoan Duran notched his fourth save of the season in Tuesday's 2-0 win over the Tigers. Duran entered to pitch the ninth inning up by two. He allowed a leadoff single, got the first out on a flyout, hit a batter, and then induced a groundball double play to end the game. The 24-year-old rookie has done a very nice job out of the bullpen for the Twins this season, compiling a 2.53 ERA with 31 strikeouts and three walks over 21 1/3 innings pitched. Emilio Pagan is still first on the team in save opportunities, but it appears that Duran is second in the mix and may still be able to earn a considerable amount of saves given how the Twins use their bullpen. He is currently rostered in 42 percent of leagues and is worth a roster spot in at least deeper roto leagues at this time.
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Patrick Sandoval has had a stellar start to the 2022 season, posting a 3-1 record with a 1.79 ERA and 1.17 WHIP across his first seven starts. The 25-year-old has logged four quality starts over 40 1/3 innings with 38 strikeouts. While the left-hander has issued 17 walks, he has yet to allow a homer during the season, thus limiting any potential damage. Sandoval's start has also been validated by career bests of a 2.56 FIP, 3.00 xERA, and .325 xSLG. The Halo lefty is expected to continue his strong start this weekend at home against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal has had a poor start to the 2022 season, posting a .176/.273/.237 line across 38 games. In 131 at-bats, the two-time All-Star has just four extra-base hits (two doubles and two homers), five runs scored, and nine RBI. Advanced metrics suggest positive regression is on the horizon for the 33-year-old's batting average, with a .235 xBA. However, Grandal's .243 wOBA would be his lowest mark since 2017, hurting his value in OBP leagues. Given the position's lack of depth, fantasy managers should give Grandal a longer leash to see if he reverts to his steady self as June hits.
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Sonny Gray went seven scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts during a 2-0 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday. The 32-year-old allowed just four hits and a walk on 95 pitches. The right-hander's stellar outing was validated by an impressive 37% CSW and has posted a 1.69 ERA in 21 1/3 innings since returning from the injured list in early May. The two-time All-Star will look to keep the momentum going on Sunday at home against the Kansas City Royals.
New York Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton (calf) was removed from Tuesday's game against the Baltimore Orioles due to right calf tightness. The 32-year-old went 0-for-2 with a strikeout before exiting. Estevan Florial replaced Stanton in the seventh inning. He will undergo further evaluation and remains day-to-day. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation as more information should be available after the game. Stanton is slashing .285/.339/.523 with 11 home runs, 35 RBI, and 15 runs scored over 166 plate appearances in 2022. With Joey Gallo already on the COVID-19 IL, Florial should see an uptick in playing time while Stanton is sidelined. Stay tuned for further updates.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Chris Sale (ribs) threw another 15-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday, mixing in sliders, changeups, and fastballs. He is expected to throw 25 pitches in a bullpen session on Friday. If everything goes well during Friday's session, he will throw another bullpen session before progressing to live batting practice. The 33-year-old has been sidelined all season due to a stress fracture in his right rib cage and has no timetable for a return. Sale should continue to be stashed in all league formats after posting a 5-1 with a 3.16 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and a 52:12 K: BB across 42 2/3 innings in 2021.
