    • Ryan Mountcastle blasts solo homer on Saturday
      Ryan Mountcastle went 1-for-4 with a solo homer against the A’s on Saturday.

      Advice: Mountcastle’s only hit of the day left the yard, going back-to-back with Adley Rutchman for a solo homer in the fifth inning off JP Sears. It was the second home run of the season for the 27-year-old first baseman to go with a .299/.364/.483 slash line and 12 RBI across 99 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 3:28 pm
       
    • MRI comes back clean on Pete Fairbanks’ arm
      An MRI on Pete Fairbanks’ right arm came back clean for any structural damage.

      Advice: Fairbanks landed on the injured list earlier this week with an undisclosed nerve-related condition, so it’s at least an encouraging development that additional imaging didn’t turn up any structural damage. The 30-year-old righty has indicated that his latest issue is unrelated to previous flareups of Raynaud’s syndrome that he’s dealt with. Given the uncertainty surrounding his diagnosis, there isn’t a clear timetable for his return. Rotoworld Today, 8:14 am
       
    • Two hits in return
      Albies went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 6-2 win over the Guardians.

      Advice: Making his return from a toe injury that cost him eight games, Albies demonstrated quickly that he was fully healthy, ripping a double and scoring in the fifth inning before adding an RBI single in the sixth. The 27-year-old second baseman has a nine-game hitting streak going, sandwiched around the injury absence, and on the season he's slashing .328/.392/.507 with two homers, two steals, 15 runs and 15 RBI.

    • Tests come back clean
      Fairbanks (arm) has no structural damage to his arm, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Fairbanks had an MRI done Tuesday and then had unspecified additional testing done later in the week. All exams came back clean, which is good news and provides some optimism that he'll avoid a lengthy absence. However, both Fairbanks and the team have cautioned that he does not have a timeline to be activated from the injured list. Rotowire.com Today, 7:29 am
       
    • Mashes fifth homer
      Semien went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's victory over the Reds.

      Advice: Semien's eighth-inning homer broke the tie in a game that had been deadlocked at 1-1 since the second frame, and it ended up being all that was needed to lift Texas over the Reds in Friday's low-scoring affair. The 33-year-old has now reached the 20-RBI mark in just 27 games, though he's gone just 4-for-25 with two RBI across his last six contests. Rotowire.com Today, 6:22 am
       
    • Goes deep in win
      Carter went 2-for-3 with a home run during Friday's 2-1 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Carter took Graham Ashcraft deep in the second inning to tie the game at 1-1, and his fourth-inning single gave him his third multi-hit performance in his last five games. In that span, the 21-year-old outfielder is 6-for-18 with three homers and four RBI, though he has also struck out seven times. Rotowire.com Today, 6:21 am

    • Marcus Semien homers in eighth to lead Rangers
      Marcus Semien hit his fifth homer Friday as the Rangers bested the Reds 2-1.

      Advice: Semien nearly had two homers, but his 410-foot drive to center in the fifth, which Statcast said would have been gone in 18 parks, was caught at the wall. The actual homer was hit 392 feet and broke a 1-1 tie in the eighth. It gave hm 19 runs scored and 20 RBI in 27 games, even though it doesn’t seem like either he or the Rangers offense as a whole has really caught fire yet. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:22 pm
       
    • Braves activate Ozzie Albies for Friday return
      Braves activated 2B Ozzie Albies from the 10-day injured list.

      Advice: Albies returns to the active roster following a stay on the injured list with a fractured right toe. It’s amazing that the 27-year-old needed just the minimum 10 days on the injured list before making his return with the injury he had. On top of that, he was doing fielding drills this past weekend to get ramped up for live action. He’ll be a boost for the Braves’ offense and for fantasy managers as he’s on pace for a career season with a .317/.386/.492 batting line in his first 15 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:37 am

    • Activated from injured list
      Atlanta activated Albies (toe) from the 10-day injured list Friday.

      Advice: Albies missed just the minimum 10 days with a fractured right big toe and will not require a rehab assignment before rejoining his teammates for a weekend series against the Guardians. The 27-year-old has put together a .317/.386/.492 slash line with two home runs and two stolen bases through his first 15 contests this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:15 am
