  • Records 10th steal Friday
    Moore went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Rangers on Friday.

    Advice: One night after striking out four times in his return from paternity leave, Moore made contact in all four plate appearances and followed his one hit with his 10th steal of the season. The veteran's swipe locked in his fifth double-digit tally in that category across six big-league seasons, but the knock was only his fifth across 38 plate appearances in June.

  • Jose Altuve doubles twice as Astros defeat Tigers
    Jose Altuve went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles and a run scored on Friday evening, helping to lead the Astros past the Tigers.

    Advice: Altuve got a rally started with a leadoff double off of Tarik Skubal to begin the sixth inning. He then scored the game’s first run on Alex Bregman’s ensuing RBI triple. Altuve also drew a walk in the ballgame, reaching base safely in three of his four plate appearances. With his two-hit attack, the 34-year-old second baseman is now slashing an outstanding .298/.349/.453 to go along with 10 homers, 26 RBI and nine stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Friday, 8:09 pm

  • Not starting Friday
    Guillorme is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Even with right-hander Spencer Howard on the mound for San Francisco, the lefty-hitting Guillorme will begin the game in the dugout. Michael Stefanic will start at second base and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:46 pm
     
  • Serves as DH on rehab
    Gonzalez (hamstring) served as the designated hitter and went 1-for-2 with a walk and an RBI for Triple-A Worcester on Thursday.

    Advice: Gonzalez made his first appearance while on a rehab assignment and played five innings. Per Julian McWilliams of The Boston Globe, Gonzalez is expected to start at first base Friday. Rotowire.com Friday, 5:54 am

  • Forgettable night in return
    Moore went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in his return from paternity leave during an extra-inning loss against the White Sox on Thursday.

    Advice: Moore had sat out the previous two games while on leave, and he went down on strikes three times against masterful White Sox starter Garrett Crochet before also logging one final punchout when facing reliever Michael Kopech. Since hitting safely in back-to-back games May 25-26, Moore has been mired in a nightmarish slump, going 4-for-42 with a single extra-base hit (a double) and a 38.8 percent strikeout across his last 13 contests.

    Advice: Schuemann wore the golden sombrero in Wednesday's loss to the Padres, so he will be given the day off Thursday to regroup. Aledmys Diaz will draw the start at shortstop. Rotowire.com Thursday, 12:54 pm

    Advice: Moore has been away from the team since Monday to spend time with his family, and he will now return to the Mariners ahead of Thursday's series finale against the White Sox.
