The Baltimore Orioles failed to score and lost 5-0 to the Cleveland Guardians in the first of a three-game series. Logan Allen pitched seven nearly flawless innings for Cleveland, while Tyler Wells allowed just one run over six innings for Baltimore.

The Cleveland Guardians have optioned struggling starter Zach Plesac to Triple-A Columbus and will activate Sam Hentges from the injured list. Plesac has a 7.59 ERA with a 1.97 WHIP, 14 strikeouts, and five walks in 21 1/3 innings this season. The move was expedited by Hentges' return and the need for a roster spot. Plesac will need to show significant improvement in Columbus to work his way back into the Guardians' rotation, which now features several young arms.

Manny Machado, Logan Allen, Josiah Gray, Cody Bellinger, and Brent Rooker were among the weekend standouts in Fantasy Baseball.

Joey Gallo, with his power potential, is a must-add in all fantasy leagues despite being an obvious batting average risk. Logan Allen, with an impressive MLB debut, is worth adding in deeper fantasy leagues. Tanner Houck, who is starting to live up to expectations, should remain a fixture in Boston's rotation. Jack Suwinski is showing real signs of a breakout and remains available in 85% of Yahoo leagues. Matt Strahm, who has legit peripherals and a FIP that ranks top-20 among starters, is back on the fantasy radar while given a chance in Philadelphia's starting rotation.

Freeman heads to Triple-A, while Lavastida has seven days to be traded, waived, or released.
