Drew Pomeranz

LAA Relief Pitcher #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Drew Pomeranz gave up two homers to take a blown save in the seventh inning Monday against the White Sox.

The first was a three-run shot from Munetaka Murakami, but since both runners were inherited, Pomeranz was charged with only two earned runs. Still, he’s now given up three homers in two days, which won’t help his chances for picking up saves in a wide-open Angels bullpen. He has an 8.74 ERA in 11 1/3 innings, and while it’d make sense for the Halos to stick with him, there’s the chance they’ll give him the Jordan Romano treatment.

Andrew Vaughn

MIL 1st Baseman #28

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Andrew Vaughn went 4-for-6 with a homer, two doubles and four RBI as the Brewers bested the A’s 15-14 in 12 innings on Monday.

Vaughn is sitting against the majority of righties while waiting for an opening in Milwaukee, but he’s batting an exceptional .364/.417/.557 with 17 RBI in 96 plate appearances when he gets to play. Tonight’s game was the first of his career with three extra-base hits and 10th with four RBI. He’d be a fine mixed-league first baseman as a regular, but things still need to work themselves out for that to happen.

Kyle Harrison

MIL Starting Pitcher #52

Kyle Harrison was lit up for eight runs in 2 1/3 innings by the A’s in Las Vegas on Monday.

Harrison has been brilliant in major league parks, but Shea Langeliers, Tyler Soderstrom and Zack Gelof all took him deep in Las Vegas tonight, and his ERA jumped from 1.57 to 2.72 as a result. There are unlikely to be any lingering effects, and he’s a fine play at home against the Phillies on Sunday.

Chad Patrick

MIL Starting Pitcher #39

Chad Patrick worked a scoreless bottom of the 12th for his third save on Monday.

This one should have been over in 10 and earned Aaron Ashby his 10th victory in relief, but Las Vegas Ballpark said no to that, as Ashby gave up two homers in his second inning of work. Abner Uribe then worked a scoreless 11th for the win, and Patrick notched his 12th save. Trevor Megill will likely be back in the closer’s role on Tuesday.

Jeffrey Springs

ATH Starting Pitcher #59

Jeffrey Springs gave up five runs in five innings Monday against the Brewers.

Springs allowed a pair of homers and six other hard-hit balls in an outing that might have been a little better in neutral park, but probably not by overly much. He should fare better against the Rockies on Sunday, but he’s not a mixed-league option at the moment.

Hogan Harris

ATH Relief Pitcher #36

Hogan Harris took a blown save after giving up two runs in 1 2/3 innings Monday against the Brewers.

Harris entered with a 10-8 lead in the eighth and immediately got a double play ball to escape a jam. However, he went on to allow two runs in the ninth to take a blown save. Nothing that happens in Vegas this week should be taken too seriously, so we’re not going to ding Harris for giving up two runs in what turned out to be a 15-14 loss. He still looks like the favorite for saves in Sacramento.

Nick Kurtz

ATH 1st Baseman #16

Nick Kurtz went 3-for-6 with two homers, three RBI and a walk versus the Brewers on Monday.

Kurtz homered in the sixth and 10th innings before the A’s eventually fell in 12. The walk was an intentional pass in the final inning of the contest. Kurtz now has 14 homers and is tied for third in the majors with 48 RBI. He’s first with a .434 OBP ahead of Yordan Alvarez at .427 and Shohei Ohtani at .417.

Tyler Soderstrom

ATH Left Fielder #21

Tyler Soderstrom went 3-for-4 with two homers, four RBI and two walks against the Brewers on Monday.

A series in Las Vegas was just what the doctor ordered for Soderstrom, who hasn’t had much luck while already playing his home games in a very friendly ballpark for offense. He hit homers on 99- and 104-mph flies tonight, bringing his season total to 10. He’s 19-for-47 with five homers and 11 walks in his last 14 games, raising his OPS from .655 to .790.

Josh Hader

HOU Relief Pitcher #71

Josh Hader struck out all three batters he faced in the ninth and was credited with the win after the Astros held off the Angels 5-4 in 10 innings on Monday.

The go-ahead run scored on a popup behind second after Jose Altuve tagged from third and Logan O’Hoppe whiffed on the throw home. Hader got five missed swings on his 12 pitches in a tie game tonight. In three appearances since coming off the IL, he has one win, one save and seven strikeouts in three hitless innings.

Spencer Arrighetti

HOU Starting Pitcher #41

Spencer Arrighetti allowed three runs in six innings and struck out seven against the Angels on Monday.

The runs all came in the second inning, when Arrighetti hit a batter and issued two of his four walks. It’s the sixth time in 10 starts this season that he’s walked four batters. He’s an incredible 7-1 with a 2.21 ERA anyway, but there isn’t much reason to think he’ll be a top starter going forward, given that he’s always been wild and that he’s just average in terms or recording strikeouts. He’ll face the Royals next.

Bryan Abreu

HOU Relief Pitcher #52

Bryan Abreu protected a one-run lead in the 10th for his fourth save Monday against the Angels.

This likely would have been a blown save, but the antsy Angels just couldn’t resist sending automatic runner Mike Trout home on Jose Siri’s single to open the bottom of the 10th. Trout was thrown out, and Abreu then struck out Jo Adell before Denzer Guzman’s liner to center, which surely would have been a sac fly with one out, was caught to end the game. It’s Abreu’s fourth save, but he isn’t in line for many more with Josh Hader back.
