    • Provides lone run in loss
      Duran went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Dodgers.

      Advice: Fresh off an MVP performance at the All-Star Game, Duran got off to a hot start in the second half. His fifth-inning homer was the Red Sox's lone run of the contest and his first long-ball in regular play since July 2. The outfielder is up to a .286/.344/.488 slash line with 11 homers, 42 RBI, 63 runs scored, 22 stolen bases, 11 doubles and a major-league-leading 10 triples through 96 games.

    • Steady in no-decision
      Stone allowed a run on six hits and struck out three without walking a batter over five innings Friday versus the Red Sox. He did not factor in the decision.

      Advice: Stone was on the hook for a tough-luck loss until Freddie Freeman's grand slam in the eighth inning saved the Dodgers. After allowing eight runs over 7.2 innings across his last two appearances before the All-Star break, this was an encouraging performance from Stone. The right-hander is now at a 3.19 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 79:28 K:BB through 101.2 innings over 18 starts this season. With the Dodgers potentially welcoming back Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) and Tyler Glasnow (back) next week, it's unclear when Stone will start again. The Dodgers open next week with a four-game set at home versus the Giants before traveling to Houston for a three-game series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:48 pm
       
    • Juan Soto goes 4-for-4, scores three times in win
      Juan Soto went 4-for-4 with two doubles, a walk and three runs scored as the Yankees topped the Rays 6-1 on Friday.

      Advice: The first double turned into a Little League homer after an error and some laziness from Randy Arozarena and a second error from José Caballero, who hit Soto with his relay to third. Soto has 12 hits in his last six games, putting him back up to .303/.433/.569 for the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:20 pm
       
    • Gerrit Cole strikes out eight in victory over Rays
      Gerrit Cole turned in six innings of one-run ball and struck out eight in defeating the Rays on Friday.

      Advice: It’s a match for his last start against the Orioles. Cole gave up just three hard-hit balls tonight, and the one homer he allowed would have been out of only 12 of the 30 ballparks, according to Statcast. He’s now 3-1 with a 4.60 ERA, and things are definitely looking up a few weeks ago. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:20 pm
       
    • Gavin Stone allows just solo homer in no-decision
      Gavin Stone allowed a run over five innings with no decision Friday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: It looked like Stone was going to get a hard-luck loss despite giving up just the one run, as the Dodgers didn’t score a run with him in the game. That changed to a (still disappointing) no decision when Freddie Freeman whalloped a grand slam in the eighth. Stone scuffled towards the end of the first half, but this was a nice reminder of the talent. He gets the Giants on Thursday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:53 pm
       
    • Jarren Duran hits solo homer against Dodgers
      Jarren Duran swatted a solo homer in a loss to the Dodgers on Friday.

      Advice: Fresh off winning the All-Star game MVP, Duran gave Boston a 1-0 lead with a solo homer off Gavin Stone. It looked like that would be the game-winner, but the Boston bullpen wasn’t able to hold the lead while allowing a grand slam to Freddie Freeman. Duran also doubled to see his slash improve to 286/.344/.488 with 11 homers and 42 RBI. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:50 pm
       
    • Knocks four base hits
      Soto went 4-for-4 with two doubles, three runs scored and a walk in Friday's victory over the Rays.

      Advice: The Yankees superstar was the offensive catalyst in the team's 6-1 win over Tampa Bay, reaching base in all five of his plate appearances. With this performance, Soto collected his second four-hit game in New York; the other happened against the White Sox on May 18. The free-agent-to-be is now slashing .303/.433/.569 with 23 homers, 78 runs scored and 66 RBI across 432 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:36 pm
       
    • Secures third win
      Cole (3-1) earned the win Friday against Tampa Bay, allowing one run on six hits and one walk over six innings. He struck out eight.

      Advice: The New York ace was in fine form, generating an impressive 16 whiffs en route to his eight punchouts, his third straight game with at least seven Ks. The lone blemish on his evening was 384-foot solo shot allowed to Brandon Lowe in the sixth. With this 103-pitch effort, Cole lowered his season ERA to 4.60 from 5.40. The 33-year-old is tentatively slated to make his next start against the Mets at home. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:26 pm
       
    • Suffers calf strain
      Bichette left Friday's game against the Tigers due to a right calf strain.

      Advice: Bichette wasn't able to put any weight on his right leg after lining out to right field in the sixth inning, and he's now officially been diagnosed with a strained right calf -- the same injury that caused him to miss the last four games before the All-Star break. The Blue Jays didn't place him on the IL after his initial strain, but there's a good chance he spends some time on the injured list this time around in order to properly address the issue. Leo Jimenez will presumably take over as Toronto's starting shortstop while Bichette recovers. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:58 pm
