    • Spencer Strider aiming to return early in ’25
      Spencer Strider (elbow) indicated Friday that he hopes to return in the early stages of next season.

      Advice: Strider added that his elbow ligament was in “surprisingly good” shape during last week’s internal brace procedure, which became necessary due to a bone fragment in his right elbow that had developed over the last few years, which was destabilizing the ligament. There’s zero incentive for the Braves to rush his rehabilitation process, but the latest revelations seem to bolster the likelihood that he returns early on next season as an elite fantasy contributor.

    • Less damage than expected
      Strider suggested Friday that he could be back on a mound early next season after doctors found that his ligament was in "surprisingly good" shape during surgery, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: The right-hander indicated that the internal bracing procedure he underwent last week ended up being necessary because of a loose bone fragment in his elbow that had developed over the last couple years. "That's what destabilized the ligament," Strider said. Atlanta will likely be cautious with its ace's recovery, but the fact that he avoided Tommy John surgery and the relatively positive news about the state of his ligament are strong signs that he could still have significant fantasy value in 2025.

    • Resting Saturday
      Stanton isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Saturday's game against Tampa Bay.

      Advice: Stanton turned in an 0-for-4 performance at the plate during Friday's victory over the Rays, and he'll get a breather during Saturday's contest. Aaron Judge will take over as New York's designated hitter, allowing Trent Grisham to start in center field and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Today, 7:39 am
       
    • Drives in two
      Garcia went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 8-3 loss to Atlanta.

      Advice: Garcia's two-run double tied the game, giving him five RBI over the last three games. He's been dangerous with runners in scoring position, going 11-for-23 with a 1.229 OPS. The outfielder, who's knocked in more than 100 runs the last two seasons, is tied for fifth in MLB with 20 RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 6:49 am
       
    • Fans six in blowout victory
      McKenzie (2-2) earned the win Friday against Oakland, allowing one earned run on three hits and three walks while striking out six batters across five innings.

      Advice: It seemed McKenzie would be in for another rough outing once he surrendered a leadoff home run to Abraham Toro on just the third pitch of the game, but the 26-year-old right-hander was able to keep Oakland's bats quiet for five innings after that point. His six strikeouts were more than he had accumulated all season heading into Friday's contest, though he still holds an ugly 11:15 K:BB. McKenzie is tentatively scheduled to make his next start at home against Boston on Thursday. Rotowire.com Today, 6:01 am
       
    • Posts four hits
      Marte went 4-for-6 with a double, one RBI and one run scored in Friday's win over the Giants.

      Advice: Marte led the Diamondbacks offense to a monster night with his four-hit performance as the team scored 17 runs. This is the second baseman's first four-hit effort since Sept. 19, 2023, which also came against San Francisco. Marte has been scorching hot to start the season, slashing .345/.392/.598 with five home runs, 12 RBI and 21 runs scored over 97 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:53 pm
       
    • Ketel Marte collects four more hits in blowout
      Ketel Marte went 4-for-6 with an RBI in a blowout win for the Diamondbacks over the Giants.

      Advice: One of the hits was a double with the other three knocks going for singles. That’s not a complaint. Marte has been sensational with the bat to open 2024, and it’s the third time in four games that the 30-year-old has picked up at least three hits. Marte has been a streaky hitter for most of his career, but right now he’s on the right side of that issue. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:26 pm
       
    • Triston McKenzie goes five in win over A’s
      Triston McKenzie worked five innings and allowed one run Friday as the Guardians bested the A’s 10-2.

      Advice: McKenzie’s stuff is diminished, but it was still good enough to hold this A’s lineup to three hits and strike out six. It seems unlikely that he’ll fare as well next time out against the Red Sox, but at least he’s due to miss the series in Atlanta starting next weekend. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:02 pm
       
    • Will continue rehab assignment
      Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Friday that Buehler (elbow) needs at least one more rehab outing before returning to the rotation, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Buehler struggled in his rehab outing with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Thursday, allowing two runs on four hits and four walks while striking out three across 2.2 innings. Roberts noted that Buehler's execution Thursday was "not great," and the right-hander will continue his rehab assignment until his command improves. Landon Knack will stay in the Dodgers' rotation for at least one more start. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:27 pm
