Contributes to winGonzalez started at first base and went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 extra-inning win over the Yankees.
Advice: Gonzalez's fifth-inning homer was all the offense Boston mustered over the first eight innings before its late-game comeback. The utility infielder has mostly worked as a pinch hitter and fill-in at all four infield positions. Gonzalez is 9-for-26 (.346) with three steals, two doubles, a home run, four RBI and three additional runs over 14 games since being activated off the injured list in mid-June.

Gleyber Torres out Saturday with groin injuryGleyber Torres (groin) is absent from the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Red Sox.
Advice: Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Torres could be available off the bench on Saturday afternoon following an early exit from Friday’s game against the Red Sox due to right groin tightness after legging out a fourth-inning infield single. The 27-year-old infielder has been playing through a lingering minor groin issue for the last few weeks. It’ll be Oswaldo Cabrera at the keystone in his absence. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. RotoworldGleyber TorresNYY - 2BW, 14-4 vs BOS -
Sitting SaturdayTorres (groin) isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.
Advice: Torres made an early exit from Friday's game due to groin tightness. Although he won't start Saturday, the Yankees are hopeful that the 27-year-old could be available off the bench, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Oswaldo Cabrera will get the nod at the keystone and bat eighth. Rotowire.comGleyber TorresNYY - 2BW, 14-4 vs BOS -
Goes deep twice FridayKeith went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three total RBI in Friday's 5-4 win over the Reds.
Advice: Keith hit a solo blast in the third inning, then followed that up with a two-run shot in the fifth. The 22-year-old now has seven home runs this season, with four of them coming in the last 10 games. During that stretch, he's batting .286 with a .945 OPS. Keith seems to be delivering on his prospect potential after a slow start to the year, and he could be a difference maker in fantasy leagues the rest of the way if he keeps this up.

X-rays on hand negativeX-rays on Altuve's left hand came back negative following his removal from Friday's game versus Minnesota, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.
Advice: Altuve made an early exit from Friday's game in the eighth inning after taking a pitch off his hand, but he managed to escape the incident with only a bruise. It's possible he sits out a game or two in order to give his hand a chance to properly recover, but an extended absence isn't likely. The 34-year-old is slashing .387/.457/.516 with a homer and five RBI over his last seven games. Rotowire.comJose AltuveHOU - 2BL, 3-9 @MIN -
Jose Altuve diagnosed with left hand contusionThe Astros got good news after Friday night’s victory over the Twins as the X-rays on the injured left hand of Jose Altuve came back negative for any fractures.
Advice: Altuve was diagnosed with a left hand contusion and is considered day-to-day. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him get a day off on Saturday to be on the safe side, but the 34-year-old infielder shouldn’t be looking at any sort of extended absence. RotoworldJose AltuveHOU - 2BL, 3-9 @MIN -
Jose Altuve (hand) leaves game after hit by pitchJose Altuve was removed from Friday night’s battle against the Twins after being hit by a pitch on his left hand.
Advice: Altuve was clipped by a 94.3 mph sinker from Josh Winder. The 34-year-old superstar second baseman was grimacing and looked to be in obvious pain on the field. He’ll head for X-rays to see if he’s dealing with any fractures. The Astros should have an update on his status after that imaging is complete. In the meantime, all fantasy managers can do is wait and hope for the best. RotoworldJose AltuveHOU - 2BL, 3-9 @MIN -
Colt Keith’s first multi-homer game powers TigersColt Keith homered twice and drove in three runs on Friday night, powering the Tigers to a 5-4 victory over the Reds in Cincinnati.
Advice: It’s the first multi-homer game of the 22-year-old rookie’s big-league career. Keith obliterated a 413-foot (104.2 mph EV) solo shot off of Carson Spiers in the third inning that extended the Tigers’ lead to 2-0. He furthered that advantage with a 415-foot (108.8 mph EV) two-run bomb in the fifth inning that made it 4-0. Keith has picked up the pace offensively in recent weeks and is now hitting .240/.285/.361 with seven homers and 28 RBI on the season. RotoworldColt KeithDET - 2B,3BBot 5, 0-0 @CIN -
Exits after HBPAltuve was removed from Friday's game against the Twins after getting by a pitch, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Advice: Altuve took a 94 mph sinker off his left hand/wrist during the eighth inning of Friday's contest and was taken out of the game after conferring with a trainer. He'll presumably undergo imaging in the clubhouse, and the Astros should offer an update on his status after the game. Rotowire.comJose AltuveHOU - 2BL, 3-9 @MIN
