    • Jake Cronenworth has five-hit day in win over MIL
      Jake Cronenworth went 5-for-5 with a homer, four runs scored and a stolen base in a 9-5 win over the Brewers on Friday.

      Advice: Cronenworth and Manny Machado combined for nine hits on Friday, which is a large number. The infielder hit his 12th homer of the season in the sixth off Colin Rea. The five knocks for Cronenworth give him seven in the last two games, and he’s seen his average rise from .251 to .266. The 30-year-old has been streaky for the majority of his career, and he appears to be on the right side of that right now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:00 pm
       
    • Enyel De Los Santos gets five-out save vs. Brewers
      Enyel De Los Santos got the final five outs to get a save against the Brewers on Friday.

      Advice: De Los Santos entered when the score was 8-5, so even though the Padres ended up winning by four, it’s still a save situation for the 28-year-old. It’s the first of the season for the right-hander, and it’s unlikely he sees many more chances going forward. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:00 pm
       
    • Dylan Cease strikes out 10, allows four runs vs. MIL
      Dylan Cease allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings in a no-decision with 10 strikeouts against the Brewers on Friday.

      Advice: Cease needed 106 pitches to get the 14 outs, so he wasn’t able to get the final out needed to qualify for a win. The right-hander did at least help with the punchouts, and he’s now struck out 116 in his 91 1/3 innings in his first year with the Padres. Cease has scuffled in June, and will try and be more efficient — while still missing bats — against the Nationals on Wednesday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:00 pm
       
    • Colin Rea ineffective in start against Padres
      Colin Rea gave up five runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Padres on Friday.

      Advice: Rea gave up two homers and four more hits — six total, for those who don’t feel like doing math right now — and he didn’t get a single strikeout while issuing two walks. It was a poor outing for the 33-year-old, but one that didn’t affect his win-loss record because of the run support San Diego gave him Friday night. He’ll take a 3.62 ERA into a schedule start against the Rangers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:00 pm
       
    • Taylor Ward drives in game-winner against Dodgers
      Taylor Ward stole a base and drove home the game-winning run in the 10th against the Dodgers on Friday.

      Advice: Ward untied the game with an RBI single in the top of the 10th off Evan Phillips to give the Angels the lead and the (surprising) victory. The stolen base was just the third of the year for the 30-year-old outfielder. After a red-hot start, Ward has come back to earth — something that’s happened a bunch on his career — with a .240/.325/.419 slash over 77 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:56 pm
       
    • Ohtani gets Tungsten O’Doyle’d against former team
      Shohei Ohtani homered and reached four times in a 3-2 loss to the Angels on Friday in 10 innings.

      Advice: We’re used to seeing those type of efforts from Ohtani being wasted, but usually it was for the Angels, not against them. The 29-year-old absolutely destroyed a solo blast off Matt Moore in the fifth for his 22nd homer of the year and 55th RBI of the season. The only blemish was a caught stealing for Ohtani, but that was just the second of the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:56 pm

    • Carlos Estévez gets save against Dodgers
      Carlos Estévez struck out two while picking up a save in a scoreless inning of work against the Dodgers on Friday.

      Advice: Estévez has been one of the few bright spots for the Angels this year, and now has 14 saves on the season and a 3.38 ERA. With Los Angeles nowhere near contention for a postseason spot, it would seem likely that the 31-year-old is pitching for a new team before August. Whether that’s in a closing role or not is a big question. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:56 pm
       
    • Landon Knack fires five scoreless against Angels
      Landon Knack didn’t give up a run while working five innings in his start Friday against the Angels.

      Advice: Knack was called up to start Friday’s opener against the Angels, and he pitched effectively. The 26-year-old allowed just two hits, struck out two and issued two free passes with 48-of-73 pitches landing for strikes. The right-hander has likely earned another start with this effort, but nothing is set in stone. Depending on the matchup, Knack is absolutely worth consideration for fantasy players going forward.
