Baltimore Orioles closer Craig Kimbrel tossed a scoreless ninth inning to earn his 15th save of the season during Monday's 5-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. He issued one walk while striking out two. The veteran fireballer is now 15-for-18 in save opportunities on the season to go along with a 2.70 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 35.2 K%. He struggled to start the year, but he has now converted eight straight saves since the start of May. Kimbrel is still a top-10 closing option in fantasy on a team that garners plenty of save chances.


New York Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (9-2) hurled seven one-run innings Monday night, allowing five hits with no walks and three strikeouts while picking up his ninth win of the season in a 4-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Rodon has now recorded seven quality starts in a row dating back to May 8. Despite the drop in his strikeout rate, the southpaw has been brilliant this season with a 2.93 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP. Look for him to continue his dominant season in a classic rivalry matchup against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park this weekend.



Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio was 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk during Monday's 3-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. The 20-year-old smoked a Jose Berrios slurve over the left field wall for his seventh homer of the season. It has been a rocky rookie season for Chourio as the highlights have been coupled with prolonged slumps. He is slashing .220/.263/.363 with 22 RBI, 24 runs scored and seven stolen bases across 57 games. The Brewers continue to give him regular playing time which is the only reason to roster him in redraft leagues at this point. He is batting .300 with two homers in June, so maybe a hot streak is around the corner.

Miami Marlins shortstop prospect Javier Sanoja has been a hitting machine at Triple-A Jacksonville, with at least one hit in 16 of his last 18 games and nine multi-hit games in that time frame. In 42 games with Jacksonville this season, the Venezuelan is hitting .317 with two home runs and four stolen bases. Since his promotion to Triple-A, the versatile infielder/outfielder has been on a tear. Sanoja is the No. 17 prospect in the Marlins system and is just 21 years old. The fact that he is at Triple-A at such a young age shows that the Marlins are high on him. He doesn't have much power in his profile but is a plus-hitter who provides help in the other hitting categories. A call-up might not be in the immediate cards, but he is someone to keep an eye on in dynasty leagues.

Detroit Tigers prospect Jace Jung went 2-for-3 with two home runs and three RBI for the Toledo Mud Hens on Tuesday night. Jung hit his 10th and 11th home runs of the season, bringing his RBI total to 40. He is sporting a slash line of .285/.399/.536. The Tigers No. 3 prospect is doing everything he can to prove worthy of a promotion to Detroit. The brother of Texas Rangers third baseman Josh Jung, the younger Jace, should force his way to the big leagues at some point in 2024. He has the bat to be a valuable waiver-wire addition for the rest of the season. Jung is a must-have in dynasty leagues because the sweet-swinging lefty can do a bit of everything at the plate.
