Welcome to the TheFantasyFix.com’s nightly fantasy baseball recap, where you’ll find updates on bullpen usage, lineup construction, injuries, and transactions. No matter the format, we got you covered with everything you need to know to help you win your league.

What’s not mentioned below: It took the Tampa Bay Rays and the Philadelhpia Phillies 10 innings to decide a winner, with the game ending on a pinch hit RBI single off the bat of Odubel Herrera. Jake Odorizzi did not factor into the decision for the Rays, though he tossed five solid innings of two run ball with five strikeouts. The Washington Nationals plated three runs in the eighth inning to lift them over the New York Mets, 4-3. Mets’ rookie Noah Syndergaard went just five innings, giving up one run and striking out four, though he walked five batters. Giants’ starter Matt Cain held the Padres to just one run in his six innings of work to take home his second win of the season. Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt both went deep the San Francisco in the win. Julio Teheran struck out 11 over seven innings, though he took the loss in the Dodgers’ 3-1 win over the Atlanta Braves. Cody Anderson got tagged for four runs on ten hits in his start today against the Milwaukee Brewers, though the Indians were able to come out on top, 7-5. Michael Brantley went 4-5 with a home run and four runs batted in. The Texas Rangers and Colorado Rockies combined for 18 runs at Coors Field (as we would expect) in the Rangers 10-8 win. Rougned Odor went 3-4 with a home run and four runs scored in the win, as he continues to rake and see his batting average rise, now sitting at .268. Lance Lynn struck out eight over six innings of work, though he did not factor into the decision in the Cardinals 3-2 win over the Chicago White Sox. Yadier Molina went 3-4 with three runs batted in for the Cards in the win. Mike Moustakas and Eric Hosmer both went deep for the Royals as they beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 5-1. Edinson Volquez struck out eight batters over 7.2 innings of one run ball; Kansas City has won four of their last five games. Collin McHugh improved to 11-5 following his start tonight, allowing two runs over seven innings in the Astros’ 4-2 win over the Boston Red Sox. The Sox have dropped seven straight games.

IF YOU ONLY READ ONE THING…

Cincinnati Reds’ starter Mike Leake’s name has been mentioned all season in trade rumors, and while he is very likely to get moved before the trade deadline, his start tonight did nothing but raise his stock. Leake spun eight innings of one run ball against the Chicago Cubs and their high-powered offense in game one of their double header, allowing just four base runners and striking out six. Leake is a free agent after the season, and while he isn’t the starter that Cole Hamels are Johnny Cueto are, he has still drawn some interest given the fact that he won’t cost an arm and a leg to require, and he could be a solid middle of the rotation starter for a contender in need of rotation depth (Royals?).

Joey Votto reached base nine times in today’s doubleheader, including a 3-4 outing in game one, blasting his 17^th home run of the season while also scoring three runs. Here’s a fun fact: Votto reached base as many times as the Yankees did tonight! Third baseman Todd Frazier went 3-5 with two runs batted in and two runs scored in the win, bringing his RBI total up to 63 on the year. Kyle Hendricks took the loss for the Cubs, allowing five runs over six innings of work, though he did strike out nine batters. The rough start brought his ERA up to 3.66 on the year. Rookie Kyle Schwarber continued to thrive today since being called up, going 2-3 with an RBI and a stolen base (No, seriously). Chicago took game two of the doubleheader thanks to the pinch-hit RBI single off the bat of Taylor Teagarden, handing Aroldis Chapman his fourth loss of the season.

Tony Cingrani was on the hill for the Reds, though he lasted just 2.2 innings, giving up five runs on six hits while striking out three. At this point, I don’t think there is any doubt that Cingrani’s future is in the bullpen, as he struggles each time he gets the nod to start. Cingrani could benefit from a change of scenery, though it might just be wiser for the Reds to try him in the pen. I’ve always been a fan of Cingrani, and I think that he could be a nice replacement in the ninth inning if the team ships of closer Aroldis Chapman. Kris Bryant (2) and Anthony Rizzo both collected stolen bases for the Cubbies in the win, while Jason Motte shut the door in the ninth to earn his sixth save.

JUST AS WE EXPECTED…

Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira both went deep for the New York Yankees to help lift them over the Baltimore Orioles, 4-3. The home run was A-Rod’s 20^th of the season, a number he hasn’t reached since 2010, his age 33/34 season. It has been talked about all season, but it is truly remarkable to see what A-rod continues to do this season, despite missing all of 2014 and turning 40 years old on Monday. Nonetheless, his offensive production this year is one of the main reasons why the Yankees are sitting comfortably atop the AL East. Ivan Nova took home his second win of the year after tossing six innings of two run ball, walking three and striking out three. Nova avoided trouble throughout the game and was able to limit the O’s to just the two runs, a very encouraging sign for the Yankees considering this was just his fifth start since returning to the mound following Tommy John surgery. Nova’s resurgence has seemingly taken the Yankees off the market for a starting pitcher, though that could change quickly if one of their pitchers goes down, like the injury prone Michael Pineda or Masahiro Tanaka.

Kevin Gausman took the loss for the Orioles, as he let up four runs across six innings of work with two walks and four strikeouts. The former first round pick has been jerked around all season between the bullpen, the starting rotation, and Triple-A, but ESPN’s Buster Olney tweeted today that the O’s will consider including Gausman in a trade this summer if the deal is right. If he does get dealt, the change of scenery could be extremely beneficial for the right-hander and fantasy owners. Orioles’ first baseman Chris David hit a ninth inning solo home run off Yankees’ closer Andrew Miller, though that was the only blip in the ninth inning for the southpaw as he earned his 22^nd save of the year.

BUT WE DIDN’T SEE THIS COMING…

Welcome back to .500, the Detroit Tigers! The team exploded for nine runs, eight of them coming in the third inning, en route to a 9-4 victory at home against the Seattle Mariners. Mike Montgomery had what was hands down his worst start of the year, allowing eight runs (six earned) across just 2.2 innings of work, while walking five batters. Nick Castellanos provided the brunt of the damage in the inning thanks to his grand slam off Montgomery, his eighth home run of the season. Ian Kinsler had a big day as well, collecting four hits in five at-bats with an RBI and two runs scored. There has been plently of talk about the Tigers selling off pieces before the trade deadline, though I don’t completely buy into it. While it would be the route that I would take if I ran the team (though I don’t, with good reason), I expect them to keep the gang together and try to hang around until Miguel Cabrera comes back. It’s easy to see a lengthy rebuild in their future, as they have a lot of money tied up to veterans and a completely depleted farm season. That being said, I expect the team to give it one more shot before they officially start to tear things down.

Nelson Cruz drove in three of the Mariners’ four runs in the loss, going 3-5 with two home runs. Cruz hasn’t skipped a beat this season, as his 24 home runs are right in line with where we would expect him to be, especially playing in that ballpark. Speaking of selling at the deadline, these Mariners (the same I picked to lose in the World Series to the Dodgers) are now nine games below .500 and 11 games out of first place in the AL West.

RUMORS & TRANSACTIONS

We keep inching closer and closer to the trade deadline, and with each day that passes, we continue to learn more about players that could possibly be on the move by the end of the month. Today, Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reported several stories, including that Rangers’ starting pitcher Yovani Gallardo will likely be on the move prior to the deadline. While the Rangers have consistently been linked to fellow starting pitcher Cole Hamels, the club isn’t opposed to trading talent while also acquiring talent. Gallardo is a free agent after the season, and he has been riding on a lot of luck thus far this season, so it makes sense for the Rangers to at least entertain offers on the 29-year-old.

The St. Louis Caridnals are “looking at” Marlins’ reliever Steve Cishek, Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald reported today. Cishek lost his closer’s role to A.J. Ramos following a rough star to the season, though he has been much more effective since being removed from the role. Since a blown save on May 11^th, Cishek has a 1.37 ERA in 19 2/3 innings. The Cardinals have a long history of acquiring under-the-radar relievers; remember John Axford, Edward Mujica, and Marc Rzepczynski? Though I’m sure the Cardinals won’t be the only team that is calling about the former closer, this would be a great move for the team as they enter the final two months of baseball’s regular season.
