Jairo Iriarte Racks Up 13 K's In Double-A

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Jairo Iriarte suffered his third loss of the season in a strong outing for Double-A Birmingham on Sunday. The 22-year-old fireballer tossed seven frames and allowed four hits, three runs, one walk and recorded a career-high 13 strikeouts. Iriarte was one of the prospects the White Sox received for starting pitcher Dylan Cease this offseason and he has performed very well thus far for Birmingham. In eight starts, Iriarte is 1-3 with a 2.89 ERA and 56 strikeouts in 43 2/3 innings. The stuff is there for Iriarte, but he needs to control his command better to make it to the next level as he already has piled up 22 walks this season. Iriarte has a bright future ahead of him if he can control his walks and is a name to monitor in dynasty leagues as he could potentially make his debut with the White Sox this summer or next season.

Brice Turang Tallies Three Hits, Swipes Bag

Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang went 3-for-5 with a stolen base in Sunday's 9-4 loss to the Houston Astros. Turang added a double, a run, and two RBI to secure a solid overall day at the dish. The 24-year-old has been leading off for the Brewers for the last few weeks and has looked solid in the role so far. While he may not help fantasy managers in the home run and RBI categories, he can be a solid contributor of AVG, runs, and steals and should be owned in most leagues for that reason.

Jhoan Duran Takes Loss On Sunday

Minnesota Twins closer Jhoan Duran took the loss in Sunday's 5-2 defeat against the Cleveland Guardians, allowing a walk-off three-run homer to Will Brennan in the ninth inning. Duran was tasked with keeping the game tied and giving Minnesota a chance to win it in extras, but after two walks (one intentional) the 26-year-old served up a curveball that Brennan sent deep. Interestingly, Duran said after the game that he wanted to throw a fastball but was told not to. Regardless of the poor outing and postgame comments, Duran remains a solid fantasy option for saves and should continue to be the Twins' highest-leverage option out of the bullpen.

Chris Paddack Bounces Back With Eight Strong Frames

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Chris Paddack had a strong start on Sunday, tossing eight innings of two-run ball in a 5-2 loss to the Cleveland Guardians. Paddack allowed just three hits while showing excellent command, walking none and striking out six. The only damage done to Paddack was a two-run blast off the bat of Andres Gimenez in the first inning. It was a very good sign to see the 28-year-old bounce back from a tough outing against the Yankees last time out, and fantasy managers who held onto Paddack should feel better about his outlook. That said, the righty is still a fringey option in standard leagues and should be left for streaming for now until he can show more consistency. He is a good deep league option, though.

Yu Darvish Brilliant Again On Sunday Night Baseball

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish was nearly unhittable on Sunday, throwing seven shutout innings of two-hit ball in a 9-1 win over the Atlanta Braves. This marks back-to-back Sunday Night Baseball victories for Darvish, who posted an eerily similar line last week against the Dodgers. In both outings he went seven innings and allowed zero runs, two hits, and a walk. The only difference is that he managed two more strikeouts in this one, totaling nine compared to seven last week. The dominant performance lowered his ERA to 2.08 and his WHIP to 0.90. He should be an easy start in all fantasy leagues after stellar outings against two of the best offenses in baseball and his streak of not allowing an earned run reaching 26 IP.
