  • Bryan De La Cruz goes deep in loss to Cubs
    Bryan De La Cruz crushed his fourth home run of the season on Friday afternoon, but it wasn’t enough to power the Marlins past the Cubs in Chicago.

    Advice: De La Cruz got the Marlins on the board in the fourth inning on Friday, crushing a 380-foot homer to center off of right-hander Jameson Taillon. All that did was put a Band-Aid on a stab wound though, pulling the Marlins to within six runs at 7-1. The 27-year-old outfielder finished the day 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts. For the season, he’s now hitting .286/.294/.476 with four long balls and 11 RBI. Rotoworld Today, 4:49 pm

    Yastrzemski isn't in San Francisco's lineup for Friday's game against Arizona, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle repors.

    Advice: Left-hander Jordan Montgomery will start on the mound for the D-backs, so the left-handed bat of Yastrzemski will stay put in the dugout to begin Friday's game. His absence will allow Austin Slater to start in right field and bat in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Today, 3:57 pm
