    • Nathan Eovaldi starting Friday versus Orioles
      Nathan Eovaldi will start Friday’s second-half opener against the Orioles.

      Advice: Eovaldi, whose name has surfaced in recent trade rumors as a possible target for the Red Sox in their quest to win the AL East, draws the starting assignment for Friday’s series opener against a star-studded Baltimore lineup to be followed over the weekend by veterans Max Scherzer and Andrew Heaney.

    • Astros tab Hunter Brown to start second half
      Hunter Brown will start Friday’s second-half series opener against the division-rival Mariners.

      Advice: It appeared almost certain that Brown would be demoted after a brutal nine-start stretch to open the year, but he managed to turn things around to finish the first half with an impressive 2.36 ERA over his final 10 outings since May 22. It’ll be Framber Valdez and Ronel Blanco to round out the first series of the second half for Houston on the road at T-Mobile Park. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:46 pm
       
    • Sonny Gray will start Friday vs ATL
      Cardinals manager Oli Marmol announced that Sonny Gray will start on Friday against the Braves.

      Advice: Gray has posted just a 4.41 ERA over his last 12 starts, but his season has been strong overall with a 3.34 ERA. Despite his struggles of late, the team views Gray as their ace and wanted him to lead them out of the break. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:21 am
       
    • Red Sox could reunite with Eovaldi
      The Athletic’s Jen McCaffrey mentions that the Red Sox could be interested in trading for Nathan Eovaldi if the Rangers drop out of the playoff race.

      Advice: McCaffrey highlights that “Eovaldi wanted to return to Boston before he signed with Texas last year,” so he would likely be open to returning to the Red Sox. Boston is in the market for one starting pitcher to round out their rotation, so this is a story to monitor in the coming weeks. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:46 am
       
    • Late addition to All-Star Game
      Finnegan was named to the National League All-Star team Monday.

      Advice: Finnegan wasn't initially named an All-Star, but he'll be available to make his first appearance in the Midsummer Classic after being added as a replacement on the roster for Ryan Helsley. The 32-year-old has the third-most saves in baseball (25) and has recorded a 2.45 ERA across 40.1 innings. Rotowire.com Monday, 2:28 pm
       
    • Clubs clutch homer Sunday
      Rice went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in a loss to the Orioles on Sunday.

      Advice: Rice was hitless through four at-bats but came through when it mattered most, swatting a three-run homer in the ninth inning off Baltimore closer Craig Kimbrel to give New York a 5-3 lead. That result didn't hold, as the Orioles plated three runs in the bottom of the frame to pull out the victory, but Rice's heroics still stand out. While the rookie is batting just .228 on the campaign, he's shown a flair for the big moment, batting .280 with runners in scoring position and already adding a three-homer game to his big-league resume.

    • Logs fifth steal
      Kwan went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Sunday's 2-0 loss to the Rays.

      Advice: This was Kwan's first steal since June 25 and his fifth of the campaign on nine attempts. Given he missed a month with a hamstring issue, it's not a surprise he's been a bit more cautious on the basepaths. The outfielder is batting .283 in July and now has a .352/.407/.512 slash line with nine home runs, 27 RBI, 55 runs scored, 14 doubles and two triples through 308 plate appearances this year.

    • Solid in abbreviated start
      Scherzer didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Houston, allowing one run on four hits and one walk with six strikeouts across four innings.

      Advice: Scherzer didn't complete five innings for the first time since being activated from the injured list June 23 and threw only 71 pitches after tossing 95 pitches in his previous start. Though he didn't go deep into the contest, Scherzer was very effective, with the lone run against him coming in the third on a solo home run by Jake Meyers. The 39-year-old has logged a 2.96 ERA and a 23:4 K:BB across 27.1 innings heading into the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:22 pm
       
    • Nets 16th save
      Yates picked up the save Sunday against the Astros, allowing one run on a hit and a walk with no strikeouts across one inning.

      Advice: While Yates advanced to 16-for-16 in save opportunities this season, he snapped his streak of eight consecutive scoreless innings. The 37-year-old walked Jon Singleton and yielded a single to Jeremy Pena to start the ninth frame, with Singleton eventually coming around to score on a groundout by Joey Loperfido. The outing bumped Yates' ERA from 0.81 to 1.05, and he has a 0.90 WHIP across 34.1 innings. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:21 pm
