    • Launches homer in loss
      O'Neill went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Cubs.

      Advice: O'Neill has hit safely in all three games since returning from the concussion list and five consecutive overall. His fourth-inning home run was his eighth of the season, leaving him tied for third in MLB. All eight of O'Neill's homers have been solo shots. Rotowire.com Today, 7:58 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

    • Bullpen scheduled
      Sewald (oblique) will throw a bullpen session Saturday, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Sewald threw 21 pitches (14 strikes) in a rehab appearance earlier in the week and felt the right kind of soreness a day later. Following Saturday's session and presuming all goes well, the reliever is likely to head out for a second rehab outing. Rotowire.com Today, 5:43 am

    • Nabs fourth win
      Imanaga (4-0) earned the win Friday over the Red Sox, allowing one run on five hits and one walk across 6.1 innings. He struck out seven.

      Advice: It was another strong outing from Imanaga, with Boston's lone run coming on a Tyler O'Neill solo homer in the fourth inning. It's safe to say the 30-year-old southpaw has exceeded expectations thus far -- Imanaga's yet to allow more than two earned runs in a start, and his ERA now sits at a stellar 0.98 with a 0.80 WHIP and 28:3 K:BB across five outings (27.2 innings). He's currently slated for a road matchup with the Mets in his next start. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:59 pm
       
    • Shota Imanaga breezes through Red Sox, gets to 4-0
      Shota Imanaga pitched 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball and struck out seven as the Cubs topped the Red Sox 7-1 on Friday.

      Advice: The Red Sox were one of the teams that wanted Imanaga over the winter, and there’s been speculation that they made him a higher offer than the Cubs. He made it look pretty easy tonight; he got 14 whiffs and the average exit velocity against him was a paltry 79.6 mph. This makes him 4-0 with a 0.98 ERA, and he has to be viewed as a top-20 fantasy SP at this point. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:25 pm
       
    • Tyler O’Neill goes 2-for-4, homers against Cubs
      Tyler O’Neill went 2-for-4 and homered for Boston’s lone run against the Cubs on Friday.

      Advice: Drawing comparisons to Mike Trout, O’Neill has eight homers and nine RBI this year. It’s hardly all his fault, as 45 of his 74 plate appearances have come with the bases empty. They all did tonight, as Jarren Duran was 0-for-4 from the leadoff spot ahead of O’Neill batting second. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:25 pm
       
    • Cody Bradford (rib) diagnosed with stress fracture
      Rangers manager Bruce Bochy told reporters on Friday that Cody Bradford has been diagnosed with a stress fracture in his rib.

      Advice: That explains why the 26-year-old southpaw hasn’t progressed as quickly as the Rangers had hoped in his recovery from a sore lower back. He’s expected to miss at least a month’s worth of action. By the time he’s ready to return, it seems unlikely that there will be a spot for him in the Rangers’ rotation if everyone else is able to stay healthy. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:23 pm

    • Managing rib stress fracture
      Bradford (back) was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his rib Friday and is expected to be sidelined for about a month, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: The left-hander wasn't progressing as expected in his recovery after landing on the shelf April 14 with lower-back soreness, and a rib stress fracture is the apparent culprit. Bradford will now be sidelined through at least late May, and a more specific timeline should come into focus as he ramps up his rehab work. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:16 pm

    • Andrés Giménez not in Guardians lineup on Friday
      Andrés Giménez is not in the Guardians’ starting lineup for Friday night’s soiree against the Braves.

      Advice: The switch-hitting 25-year-old infielder went hitless (0-for-10) during their series against the Red Sox to start the week, so perhaps Guardians’ skipper Stephen Vogt just wants to give him a day to clear his head. Gabriel Arias will start in his place at second base and will bat seventh against Chris Sale and the Braves on Friday evening in Atlanta. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:55 pm
