    • George Kirby solid for seven in no-decision
      George Kirby was left with a no-decision after seven innings of two-run ball Friday against the Marlins.

      Advice: Kirby was undone by back-to-back solo homers in the sixth. The first of those, off the bat of Bryan De La Cruz, would have been a homer in three ballparks, according to Statcast. Apart from that sequence, Kirby was masterful. He’s allowed two runs or fewer in 11 of 16 starts. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:56 pm
       
    • Goes deep in loss
      Tovar went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to Washington.

      Advice: Tovar was stuck in a small 1-for-18 slump over his previous five games before Friday's strong performance. He put the Rockies on the board with a solo shot in the third inning, giving him 12 this year and four in his last 13 contests. Tovar is now slashing .285/.312/.487 with 37 extra-base hits and 40 runs scored through 75 games this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:05 pm
       
    • Ezequiel Tovar homers, collects three hits in loss
      Ezequiel Tovar homered while going 3-for-5 in a loss Friday to the Nationals.

      Advice: The Rockies were able to pick up three homers off DJ Herz, and Tovar hit a solo shot off Herz in the third for his 12th homer of the year. The 22-year-old shortstop has put together a very strong first half of 2024 in his second full season with a .280 average, 799 OPS and 36 RBI. There’s massive upside for Tovar, especially when you remember his home park. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:41 pm
       
    • Was available Friday
      Manager Aaron Boone said Torres (groin) was available Friday against Atlanta, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

      Advice: Despite being available, Torres never entered the game, leaving his status for Saturday's contest ambiguous. Jahmai Jones or Oswaldo Cabrera would likely enter the lineup if Torres is forced to miss a second consecutive game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:29 pm

    • Kerry Carpenter (back) to start baseball activity
      Kerry Carpenter (back) told reporters on Friday that he has been cleared to start baseball activities on Monday.

      Advice: The 26-year-old slugger will need at least a couple of weeks to ramp back up and will require a minor league rehab assignment before he’s ready to return to the Tigers’ lineup. If all goes well and he’s able to avoid any setbacks, we could see him back in the Olde English D right after the All-Star break. Before landing on the injured list, Carpenter was hitting .283/.342/.572 with eight homers and 29 RBI in his first 50 ballgames. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:36 pm

    • MRI comes back clean
      Torres (groin) was deemed day-to-day after his MRI came back clean Friday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

      Advice: Torres was lifted from Thursday's game as a precaution due to right groin discomfort, and an MRI confirmed that the injury isn't anything serious. Still, Torres may need a day or two for recovery, which could open up more work for Oswaldo Cabrera and Jahmai Jones. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:33 pm

    • Alex Verdugo sits against left-hander on Friday
      Alex Verdugo is not in the Yankees’ starting lineup for Friday night’s battle against the Braves.

      Advice: While Verdugo started each of the team’s last two games against left-handed starters, he’ll get a breather with tough southpaw Chris Sale taking the hill for the Braves on Friday night. Verdugo is enjoying a solid season for the Bombers’, slashing .254/.309/.413 with nine homers and 41 RBI through his first 74 ballgames. Jahmai Jones will start in his place in left field and bat fifth for the Yankees on Friday evening in the Bronx. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:10 pm

    • Gleyber Torres (groin) held out of lineup Friday
      Gleyber Torres (groin) was held out of the Yankees’ starting lineup for Friday’s tilt against the Braves.

      Advice: The 27-year-old infielder made an early exit on Thursday due to tightness in his groin. While it’s considered a minor issue and isn’t likely to land him on the injured list, he’s going to need at least a couple of days before he’s ready to return to action. Oswaldo Cabrera will cover second base in his absence on Friday night and will bat ninth against Chris Sale and the Braves. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:08 pm

    • To begin baseball activities
      Carpenter (back) hopes to resume baseball activities Monday, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Carpenter had been shut down since late May due to a lumbar spine stress fracture but is ready to begin baseball activities in the coming days. While he's still a ways out from returning, it's the first advancement he's made since being placed on the IL. Expect Carpenter to require a multi-game minor-league rehab stint before being cleared. In the meantime, Matt Vierling and Wenceel Perez should share the outfield with Riley Greene most nights. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:53 pm
