    • Zac Gallen (hamstring) to throw sim game next week
      Zac Gallen (hamstring) is scheduled to throw another simulated game early next week.

      Advice: The hope here is that Gallen will be ready to be activated, without requiring a minor league rehab assignment, after next week’s simulated game. The 28-year-old righty has been on the shelf since late May after suffering a Grade 1 right hamstring strain. Rotoworld Today, 5:46 pm
       
    • Exits as precuation
      Torres (groin) did not suffer a serious injury Thursday against the Orioles, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Torres was removed in the sixth inning, though manager Aaron Boone noted that he was taking a cautious approach and that the issue isn't expected to be serious. Nevertheless, it will be worth confirming that Torres will be available Friday as the Yankees start a series against Atlanta. Rotowire.com Today, 4:27 pm

    • Witt Jr. blasts 12th home run in win Thursday
      Bobby Witt Jr. went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Athletics on Thursday.

      Advice: The home run was Witt Jr.'s 12th of the year. He hit a solo shot in the eighth inning to give the Royals a 3-2 lead. One of the best players in all of fantasy, Witt Jr.'s hitting .322 with a .921 OPS with 53 RBI this year. Rotoworld Today, 3:57 pm
       
    • Leaves game early
      Torres left in the sixth inning of Thursday's game versus the Orioles due to tightness in his right groin.

      Advice: Prior to leaving the game, Torres hit a solo home run in the second inning and then later flied out in the fourth. Ben Rice was substituted into the game at first base for Torres, who started at second. Oswaldo Cabrera shifted over from third to second base. Rotowire.com Today, 3:28 pm

    • Gleyber Torres exits Thursday with groin tightness
      Gleyber Torres was removed from Thursday’s game against the Orioles with right groin tightness.

      Advice: Torres was 1-for-2 with a solo homer before leaving the contest after five innings with New York trailing 11-5 at the time. It sounds like his early exit was merely for precautionary reasons, but that’s purely speculation at this juncture. There should be an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Today, 3:23 pm

    • Thairo Estrada not in the lineup on Thursday
      Thairo Estrada is not in the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: It appears to be a routine day off for Estrada, who was involved in a minor collision at first base yesterday but remained in the game. The 28-year-old has not been having a great season, hitting .240 with just one steal in 71 games. He’s also hitting .211 with 13 strikeouts over 14 games in June, so things haven’t been ticking up of late either. The Giants will move Brett Wisely to second base and start Nick Ahmed at shortstop.

    • Taking seat Thursday
      Estrada is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Cardinals.

      Advice: The Giants are giving Brett Wisely a start at second base and Nick Ahmed will be his double-play partner at shortstop. It seems to be a routine day off for Estrada, who had started each of the previous 14 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 12:30 pm
       
    • Another sim game coming next week
      Gallen (hamstring) is scheduled to throw another simulated game early next week and could be reinstated from the 15-day injured list shortly thereafter, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.

      Advice: After tossing 31- and 37-pitch bullpen sessions last week, Gallen advanced to facing hitters in a simulated game Tuesday. Gallen's strained right hamstring apparently responded well to the workout, but the Diamondbacks will still have him toss another sim game during the upcoming week before signing off on his return to the rotation. If all goes well during his second sim game, Gallen could return at some point during the Diamondbacks' series in Oakland next weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 8:20 am
