  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homers in loss
    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 2-for-4 with a solo home run on Friday in a loss to the Guardians

    Advice: This Blue Jays offense is a disaster. Guerrero’s solo shot was their only glimmer of offense before they loaded the bases in the ninth inning. The home run was Guerrero’s eighth, a very disappointing number as we near the midway point of the season. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago
     
  • Josh Naylor with two hits and two RBI
    Josh Naylor went 2-for-4 with a double, single, and two RBI on Friday against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Naylor, known for hitting the ball hard, started the Guardians seven-run second inning with an 11 pitch at-bat that wound up as a cheap double and ended the rally with a dribbler that plated two runs. But hey, that’s baseball. Naylor seems to be heating up with hits in nine of his last 11 games. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago

  • Four hits, three RBI in win
    Iglesias went 4-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in Friday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Iglesias was active early, singling and scoring a run in the second inning, hitting an RBI single in the third and adding a two-run single in the fourth. He later added another base hit in the seventh. Iglesias has gone an impressive 14-for-32 with six RBI and five runs scored in his return to the majors while primarily starting at second base against left-handed pitchers.

  • Lourdes Gurriel Jr. leaves game with sore elbow
    Lourdes Gurriel Jr. was removed from Friday’s ballgame against the Phillies due to left elbow soreness.

    Advice: The 30-year-old slugger opened the scoring in Friday’s game with a solo homer off of Taijuan Walker in the second inning and finished the night 2-for-4 before being lifted in the eighth inning. Expect the Diamondbacks to provide an update on his status — and a potential timeline for his return — following the conclusion of Friday’s game. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
     
  • Yariel Rodríguez can’t get through two innings
    Yariel Rodríguez lasted just 1 1/3 innings on Friday against the Guardians and allowed four earned runs. He walked three batters and struck out just one.

    Advice: Rodríguez’s return to the Blue Jays’ rotation left a lot to be desired. His usually impressive slider did not look sharp and was moving less compared to before his injury. Without that, he didn’t have a put-away pitch and struggled to retire nearly every batter he faced. He’d built up to about 80 pitches in April and could get back there with legitimate strikeout upside if the Jays let him. He just isn’t there yet. Rotoworld 45 minutes ago
     
  • Leaves game with back tightness
    Isbel exited Friday's game against the Rangers due to lower back tightness.

    Advice: Garrett Hampson pinch hit for Isbel in the top of the fifth inning. Before exiting, Isbel hit a solo home run in the top of the third inning in his only at-bat of the game. Clarity on the severity of the injury should be known following Friday's game. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
     
  • Kyle Isbel homers, leaves game with back tightness
    Kyle Isbel was removed from Friday night’s showdown against the Rangers due to tightness in his lower back.

    Advice: The 27-year-old outfielder had slugged a 387-foot solo homer in his lone at-bat in the contest but was pinch-hit for the next time that he strolled to the plate in the fifth inning. It doesn’t sound like anything that should require a trip to the injured list, but fantasy managers should monitor his status over the weekend to be on the safe side. Rotoworld 59 minutes ago
     
  • Homers in win
    Kelly went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a 2-1 win over the White Sox on Friday.

    Advice: Kelly's two-run home run off Erick Fedde in the second inning was the difference in the game, as the Tigers pitchers limited the White Sox to just one run. The homer was Kelly's second in four games, and he has registered a solid .267/.353/.500 slash in nine June contests. On the season, Kelly is slashing .238/.324/.373 with four home runs and 17 RBI over 142 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 6:33 pm
     
  • Homer, two hits in loss
    Pham went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 2-1 loss to the Tigers on Friday.

    Advice: Pham singled in the third then hit a solo home run off Jack Flaherty in the fifth. Pham had been relatively quiet since returning from the injured list June 14, going 5-for-20 in five games prior to Friday. The home run was his first since May 22, but Pham still owns a solid .282/.353/.410 slash with four home runs, 14 RBI and 23 runs scored over 172 plate appearances this season.
