    • Ketel Marte day-to-day with back tightness
      Ketel Marte is day-to-day after leaving Friday’s game against the Padres with back tightness.

      Advice: If he can’t play Saturday, then the Diamondbacks will use Kevin Newman at second base, since they sent down their best alternative, Blaze Alexander, earlier this week. The 30-year-old secured his second All-Star Game selection earlier this week and will start at second base for the senior circuit in the Midsummer Classic. Rotoworld Friday, 10:19 pm
       
    • Nursing tight back
      Marte exited Friday's game against the Padres due to lower-back tightness, Jesse Friedman of GoPHNX.com reports.

      Advice: Marte had gone 0-for-4 during Friday's loss before Randal Grichuk pinch hit for him in the ninth inning, and manager Torey Lovullo confirmed after the game that Marte's removal was due to a lingering back issue that has been bothering him for a while. He won't require any imaging, however, and the team is viewing him as day-to-day. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:09 pm
       
    • X-rays on hand negative
      X-rays on Altuve's left hand came back negative following his removal from Friday's game versus Minnesota, Julia Morales of AT&T SportsNet Southwest reports.

      Advice: Altuve made an early exit from Friday's game in the eighth inning after taking a pitch off his hand, but he managed to escape the incident with only a bruise. It's possible he sits out a game or two in order to give his hand a chance to properly recover, but an extended absence isn't likely. The 34-year-old is slashing .387/.457/.516 with a homer and five RBI over his last seven games. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:52 pm
       
    • Jose Altuve diagnosed with left hand contusion
      The Astros got good news after Friday night’s victory over the Twins as the X-rays on the injured left hand of Jose Altuve came back negative for any fractures.

      Advice: Altuve was diagnosed with a left hand contusion and is considered day-to-day. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him get a day off on Saturday to be on the safe side, but the 34-year-old infielder shouldn’t be looking at any sort of extended absence. Rotoworld Friday, 8:50 pm
       
    • Jose Altuve (hand) leaves game after hit by pitch
      Jose Altuve was removed from Friday night’s battle against the Twins after being hit by a pitch on his left hand.

      Advice: Altuve was clipped by a 94.3 mph sinker from Josh Winder. The 34-year-old superstar second baseman was grimacing and looked to be in obvious pain on the field. He’ll head for X-rays to see if he’s dealing with any fractures. The Astros should have an update on his status after that imaging is complete. In the meantime, all fantasy managers can do is wait and hope for the best. Rotoworld Friday, 8:00 pm
       
    • Colt Keith’s first multi-homer game powers Tigers
      Colt Keith homered twice and drove in three runs on Friday night, powering the Tigers to a 5-4 victory over the Reds in Cincinnati.

      Advice: It’s the first multi-homer game of the 22-year-old rookie’s big-league career. Keith obliterated a 413-foot (104.2 mph EV) solo shot off of Carson Spiers in the third inning that extended the Tigers’ lead to 2-0. He furthered that advantage with a 415-foot (108.8 mph EV) two-run bomb in the fifth inning that made it 4-0. Keith has picked up the pace offensively in recent weeks and is now hitting .240/.285/.361 with seven homers and 28 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Friday, 7:55 pm

    • Exits after HBP
      Altuve was removed from Friday's game against the Twins after getting by a pitch, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

      Advice: Altuve took a 94 mph sinker off his left hand/wrist during the eighth inning of Friday's contest and was taken out of the game after conferring with a trainer. He'll presumably undergo imaging in the clubhouse, and the Astros should offer an update on his status after the game. Rotowire.com Friday, 7:40 pm
       
    • Nicky Lopez plates two as White Sox filet Marlins
      Nicky Lopez went 2-for-3 with a walk, a pair of doubles and two RBI on Friday night, leading the White Sox to a 3-2 victory over the Marlins.

      Advice: Lopez opened the scoring in the ballgame in the second inning with a run-scoring double off of Bryan Hoenig that scored Paul DeJong. He then added a ground-rule double in the fifth inning that plated Eloy Jimenez and would have driven in an additional run had the ball not taken an unfortunate bounce into the crowd. With his two-hit attack, the light-hitting second baseman is now hitting .247/.302/.292 with zero homers, 12 RBI and three stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Friday, 7:11 pm

    • Managing groin tightness
      Torres exited Friday's game against the Red Sox due to right groin tightness.

      Advice: Torres suffered a similar injury to his right groin a few weeks ago, and he seems to have aggravated the issue while legging out an infield single during Friday's contest. The Yankees don't have any plans in place to take him in for imaging at the moment, which suggests the team doesn't believe his latest flareup is anything too severe. However, it remains possible the 27-year-old sits out Saturday's contest as a precaution. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:45 pm
