Ross Detwiler allowed four runs over six innings in a loss to the Phillies on Tuesday.

The start was just Detwiler's second since returning from the disabled list, and he's yet to record a win since returning. He was decent until faltering in his last inning, allowing three runs and four hits in the sixth. It was otherwise a positive start for the southpaw. He'll continue to round into form when he faces the Rockies on Sunday.

Mets acquired OF Eric Young Jr. from the Rockies in exchange for RHP Collin McHugh.

Young is batting just .242/.290/.352 this season, but he's a good fit for the outfielder-needy Mets. The speedster should receive a good amount of playing time in the outfield and makes for a nice cheap speed pick-up in deeper formats.

Pirates sent LHP Mike Zagurski outright to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Zagurski was designated for assignment over the weekend but has cleared waivers and will remain in the organization. He could get another chance later this summer.

Starling Marte went 2-for-5 with a triple and a run scored as the Pirates beat the Reds 4-0 on Tuesday.

Marte was the catalyst of the Pirates offense on Tuesday. The triple led off the game and was the Pirates' only extra-base hit of the night. He later scored before singling in a run of his own in the seventh inning. Marte also stole a base in the game, his 21st of the season.
Jun 18 - 11:25 PM

Red Sox optioned RHP Alfredo Aceves to Triple-A Pawtucket.

Aceves pitched well again in a spot start Tuesday, but the Sox needed him just for that outing. He'll be back later this summer.
Jun 18 - 11:24 PM

Mets optioned RHP Zack Wheeler to Triple-A Las Vegas.

It's just a procedural move, as Wheeler was the 26th man for Tuesday's doubleheader and can be brought back for his next turn in the rotation. He struck out seven over six scoreless innings against the Braves to win his first major league start.
Jun 18 - 11:23 PM

Jeff Samardzija held the Cardinals to two runs over 8 1/3 innings in Tuesday's 4-2 victory.

The Cubs scored four runs before Samardzija even toed the rubber, and that's all he needed. The hard-thrower struck out six while allowing seven hits and one walk. The second run charged to him came home after he exited in favor of Kevin Gregg. Samardzija had scuffled a bit the last two times out, but he now has a nice 3.35 ERA and 1.19 WHIP with 110 strikeouts over 99 1/3 innings. He should be able to keep it rolling this weekend in Chicago against the Astros.
Jun 18 - 11:20 PM

Russell Martin scored a run, notched an RBI and stole a base against the Reds on Tuesday.

Martin went 1-for-3 but was integral in the Pirates' three-run first inning. The catcher batted in the No. 2 spot in the lineup for the fifth time this season as opposed to his normal fifth spot. He's now scored four runs in those five games.
