  • Swats go-ahead homer
    Langeliers went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and an additional RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over the Twins.

    Advice: Langeliers took Jhoan Duran deep in the eighth inning, giving the Athletics the lead for good. This was Langeliers' 14th homer of the year, though he's gone deep just twice over 16 games in June while batting .196 (11-for-56). The catcher is at a .207/.265/.445 slash line across 249 plate appearances this season, and he's added 39 RBI, 24 runs scored and two stolen bases. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:18 pm
     
  • Shea Langeliers hits go-ahead homer in eighth
    Shea Langeliers hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth to give the Athletics a 6-5 win over the Twins on Friday.

    Advice: With the A’s trailing 5-4, Langeliers took Jhoan Duran deep to give Oakland a 6-5 lead and ultimately the victory. He drove in another run with a single to center in the fifth. Langeliers shows the potential to be a long-term catching option for fantasy teams, but his .207 average makes him a tough sell in one-catcher formats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:09 pm
     
  • Drew Millas homers, reaches four times in rout
    Drew Millas went 3-for-4 with a homer in a victory over the Rockies on Friday.

    Advice: A rare big day at the plate for Millas, but this is an exception on a night where the Nationals picked up 19 hits against the horrific Colorado pitching staff. Even with the strong game, he’s still slashing .217/.280/.391 and doesn’t belong anywhere near a fantasy roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:41 pm
     
  • X-rays come back clean
    X-rays came back negative on Moreno's thumb following Friday's game against the Phillies, Jody Jackson of Bally Sports Arizona reports.

    Advice: Moreno hurt his thumb on a slide early in Friday's contest but remained in the game long enough to tally his third homer of the season. He was ultimately pulled in the sixth inning. Manager Torey Lovullo noted after the contest that Moreno is likely to avoid the injured list, but the team will see how he is feeling Saturday before any final determination is made.

  • X-Rays return negative for Gabriel Moreno (thumb)
    Diamondbacks’ manager Torey Lovullo told reporters after Friday’s game that X-rays came back negative for any structural damage on the injured thumb of catcher Gabriel Moreno.

    Advice: Lovullo is hopeful that Moreno will be able to avoid a stint on the injured list but noted that he’ll have to wait and see how he’s feeling on Saturday morning to make a full determination. In the meantime, expect Tucker Barnhart to draw a start behind the plate on Saturday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:30 pm
     
  • Gabriel Moreno diagnosed with sprained left thumb
    The Diamondbacks announced that Gabriel Moreno was removed from Friday’s game due to a sprained left thumb.

    Advice: The severity of the sprain — and how much time (if any) that Moreno may miss — remain up in the air. Tucker Barnhart replaced him in Friday’s contest against the Phillies and would be in line for increased run behind the plate if Moreno is forced to miss any substantial time.

  • Leaves game with sprained thumb
    Moreno exited Friday's game against the Phillies due to a sprained left thumb.

    Advice: Tucker Barnhart replaced Moreno behind home plate for the bottom of the sixth inning. Before exiting, Moreno went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run. Arizona should offer some clarity on the severity of Moreno's injury following Friday's contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:04 pm
     
  • Gabriel Moreno exits Friday with apparent injury
    Gabriel Moreno was removed from Friday’s game against the Phillies due to an apparent injury.

    Advice: No word yet on exactly what happened here, but the 24-year-old backstop was replaced by Tucker Barnhart when the Diamondbacks took the field in the sixth inning. Earlier in the game, Moreno crushed the hardest hit ball of his career — a titanic 433-foot (104.6 mph EV) blast to center field. Stay tuned, as the Diamondbacks should have an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:00 pm
     
  • Luis Campusano (thumb) considered day-to-day
    Luis Campusano was scratched from the Padres’ starting lineup on Friday night due to a left thumb contusion.

    Advice: Fortunately, the injury isn’t believed to be serious, and the 25-year-old backstop is considered day-to-day. Kyle Higashioka is starting in his place behind the dish on Friday night and will carry the load until Campusano is ready to return. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:58 pm
