  • Jacob Young has two hits, swipe in loss to Rays
    Jacob Young went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, a run scored and a stolen base as the Nationals fell to the Rays on Friday evening in Tampa Bay.

    Advice: Young basically created a run with his legs in the seventh inning, smacking a two-out double, stealing third base and then trotting home as catcher overthrew the third baseman trying to cut him down. That would be the only run that the Nationals would muster in the ballgame. With his two-hit effort, Young is now hitting .272/.329/.341 with one homer, 18 RBI and 19 swipes on the season.

  • Steals, reaches three times in win
    Marsh went 1-for-2 with a double, two walks and a stolen base in a 2-0 win over the Marlins on Friday.

    Advice: Marsh doubled in the second inning and walked and stole second in the fourth. He later walked again in the eighth and has reached base seven times in his past two starts with a home run and a steal. With recent injuries to Bryce Harper (hamstring) and Kyle Schwarber (groin), the lefty was in the cleanup spot Friday night and will likely continue to hit in the middle of the order against right-handed pitching while they remain on the injured-list. The 26-year-old is now hitting .270 with seven home runs, 31 RBI, 25 runs scored and nine steals through 225 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Back with Giants
    The Giants recalled Fitzgerald from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With Thairo Estrada (wrist) headed for the injured list, Fitzgerald will return to San Francisco in order to give the Giants some depth in the infield, though he his also capable of playing in the outfield. The 26-year-old has slashed .273/.333/.409 across 72 plate appearances in the majors and will likely share reps with Nick Ahmed until Estrada returns. Rotowire.com 44 minutes ago
     
  • Placed on IL
    The Giants placed Flores on the 10-day injured list Friday with right knee tendinitis, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Flores has been slumping at the plate lately, going just 2-for-19 with three RBI in his last six games. He'll now be sidelined for at least 10 days due to his knee, and starting first base duties will be given back to LaMonte Wade (hamstring), who was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move.

  • Brandon Marsh reaches three times in win on Friday
    Brandon Marsh doubled, drew a pair of walks and stole a base as the Phillies triumphed over the Marlins on Friday evening in Philadelphia.

    Advice: Marsh led off the second inning with a double and advanced to third on a fly ball but was left stranded there. He then drew a one-out walk off of Kyle Tyler in the fourth inning and swiped second base to get himself into scoring position, but the Phillies were unable to cash him in. The 26-year-old outfielder is enjoying a solid season — slashing .270/.351/.429 with seven homers, 31 RBI and nine stolen bases. Rotoworld 56 minutes ago
     
  • Giants place Wilmer Flores (knee) on 10-day IL
    Giants placed INF Wilmer Flores on the 10-day injured list with left knee tendinitis.

    Advice: Flores has been battling the knee issue for a couple of weeks now so the Giants finally decided to sit him down and get him right. The timing worked out as LaMonte Wade was activated from the injured list on Friday and can handle the bulk of the action at first base while Flores is shelved. Rotoworld Today, 5:40 pm

    Advice: With both Thairo Estrada and Wilmer Flores landing on the injured list on Friday night, the Giants had a sudden need for an extra infielder so Fitzgerald gets another shot with the big-league club. The 26-year-old has hit .273/.333/.409 with one homer, four RBI and five stolen bases in 72 plate appearances with the Giants this season. Rotoworld Today, 5:36 pm

    Advice: Raley will miss his second straight game due to soreness in his shoulder.
