Adam Ottavino - R - Rockies

Adam Ottavino boasts a 2.01 ERA over 22 1/3 relief innings for the Rockies.

Ottavino has pitched exceedingly well as a swingman, posting a 24/5 K/BB rate and 1.12 WHIP in 14 appearances. As a 27-year-old, he appears likely to remain in the majors over the duration of an entire season for the first time in his career.

Jose Valverde - R - Tigers

Jose Valverde worked a scoreless ninth inning against the Twins on Thursday, striking out two and earning his fifth save of the season.

Papa Grande -- unwanted by 30 teams a month and a half ago -- has been lethal out of the back end of Detroit's bullpen. Through 11 innings, he has a 0.82 ERA, 0.55 WHIP and 10/4 K/BB rate. He's only given up two hits and one run.
May 24 - 12:50 AM
Rick Porcello - S - Tigers

Rick Porcello was chased by the Twins for five runs on 10 hits over five innings Thursday, but escaped with a no-decision when Detroit mounted a late comeback.

He struck out two and walked one. Porcello was 0-2 with an 11.08 ERA on April 20 before a solid four-game stretch lowered his earned run average to 5.92. It's back up to 6.28, courtesy of the toothless Minnesota offense. Gamble on Porcello at your own risk Tuesday, when he has a date against the Pirates.
May 24 - 12:45 AM
Miguel Cabrera - 3B - Tigers

Miguel Cabrera continued to torment major league pitching Thursday, going 2-for-3 with another homer in a comeback win against the Twins.

He also walked twice. Now on a four-game home run streak, Cabrera is 9-for-15 (.600) with five walks, a double, six homers, 13 RBI and nine runs during that stretch. He's first in the AL in batting average (.391), second in homers (14), and first in RBI (55), runs (39), slugging percentage (.701) and OPS (1.168). He's only eighth in walks (25) at the moment, but he'll be gifted plenty more of those as teams realize it's an awful idea to throw Cabrera a hittable pitch at the moment.
May 24 - 12:37 AM
Josh Willingham - OF - Twins

Josh Willingham blasted two homers and collected four RBI in Thursday's loss to the Tigers.

It was his first multi-hit game of May. Despite an anemic batting average (.212), The Hammer is getting on base (.368) at a percentage better than his career mark (.362). Willingham is fifth in the American League with 27 walks. Despite recent struggles, he has a four-game hitting streak and three long flies during those contests. Now is probably the time to buy low.
May 24 - 12:25 AM
Scott Diamond - S - Twins

Scott Diamond surrendered three runs on nine hits and a walk over 5 2/3 frames in a no-decision loss Thursday to the Tigers.

He struck out five. Diamond allowed a two-run homer to Miguel Cabrera and spent the rest of the evening dancing out of self-inflicted danger. Diamond was 3-2 with a 3.03 on May 7. Over his last three starts, he's allowed 15 earned runs and five homers over 15 2/3 innings. Diamond's control is almost as worrisome as the baseballs he's watched fly into the stands. Usually a southpaw with plus command, Diamond has walked seven and struck out just six in his last three outings.
May 24 - 12:20 AM
Carlos Santana - C - Indians

Carlos Santana went 1-for-2 with four walks in Thursday's blowout win against the Boston.

He also scored three runs. Santana owners enjoyed a spectacular April out of their star catcher and then suffered through a rough May prior to Wednesday (182/.316/.333). In Cleveland's last two games, Santana is 3-for-6 with a homer, five walks, two RBI and four runs. He's third in the AL in walks (29) and fourth in OPS (.975).
May 24 - 12:02 AM
Mark Reynolds - 1B - Indians

Mark Reynolds went 3-for-4 with a walk, the RBI and a run scored in Thursday's win over the Red Sox.

As has been the case for most of the season, Reynolds hit the ball with authority. Reynolds' batting average has dropped off somewhat, but .261 is far better than his owners expected out of the .236 career hitter. Through 45 games played, Reynolds is fifth in the AL with 12 homers, fourth in RBI with 40 and 10th in slugging with a .535 mark.
