Detmers gave up four hits, walked four and struck out three. He continues to struggle as he’s now allowed at least four runs in seven of his last eight starts. Detmers hasn’t won a game since winning his first three starts of the season. His ERA is now the worst it’s been all year at 6.14. The 24-year-old left-hander is set to face the Astros at home next week, but he’s best left on the bench until further notice.

Angels’ skipper Ron Washington had said that Neto would play nine innings at shortstop there next week, but it looks like he may be a bit ahead of schedule. The final hurdle for Neto to clear is playing nine innings at shortstop in consecutive games, which sounds like it could happen early next week. His return is imminent.

Strider made it through his side session without any issues on Sunday, so as long as he continues to feel good over the next couple of days it sounds like the Braves’ ace will make his season debut on Wednesday. Fantasy managers in weekly leagues can finally rejoice and insert Strider into lineups for next week.

Walker needed 18 pitches to navigate the frame, but he didn’t allow a single baserunner and now has four saves on the season for the Giants.

We knew that Lee was a pretty solid player despite his injury-shortened 2024 season, but the power he’s put on display recently has been a surprise. The 26-year-old laced a 406-foot home run at 103.2 mph off the bat in the fourth inning and then followed that up with a slightly less impressive 363-foot home run at 94.5 mph off the bat. He now has three home runs and 11 RBI on the season, and while the power might not stick, the batting average should, and his spot in the middle of the order will give him solid counting stat upside. You should be feeling pretty good about yourself if you picked him up on waiver wires.

It didn’t sound good when news broke that Steele was seeking a second opinion on Friday and now the unfortunate news hits that he’ll go under the knife and miss the rest of the season. It’s unclear if he’ll undergo the traditional Tommy John procedure or the internal brace procedure, so it’s tough to speculate on just how long he’ll be shelved for. It’s a very tough break for fantasy managers in redraft leagues who now need to cut bait with someone who was drafted to be a staple in their starting rotation.
