    • 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 Today, 1:10 pm
       
    • Sitting against lefty
      Verdugo is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: Verdugo will dodge a matchup with southpaw Chris Sale on Friday. Instead, Jahmai Jones will bat fifth and fill left field. Rotowire.com Today, 12:39 pm
       
    • Tallies three hits Thursday
      Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a double and a run Thursday in a 5-3 win against Colorado.

      Advice: Hernandez departed in the seventh inning of Wednesday's matchup between the clubs, but manager Dave Roberts indicated afterward that the early exit was simply for rest reasons, and the outfielder's inclusion in Thursday's lineup seems to validate that claim. Hernandez certainly didn't appear bothered by any issues in the finale of the four-game set, as he recorded his fourth three-hit performance of the campaign. He's been swinging a hot bat over the past two weeks, slashing .321/.387/.732 with six homers, 16 RBI, 10 runs and a stolen base over his past 14 games. Rotowire.com Today, 9:40 am
       
    • Swipes two bags
      Arozarena went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run and two stolen bases Wednesday against the Twins.

      Advice: Arozarena extended his hitting streak to a modest five games with the performance. He's been very productive in that span, swatting two homers while also swiping two bags, scoring five runs and driving in five. Even with the encouraging stretch, Arozarena has only a .293 wOBA and .185 batting average on the season. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 11:01 pm
       
    • Collects two hits, stolen base
      Langford went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base in a 5-3 victory versus the Mets on Wednesday.

      Advice: Langford logged an RBI on a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch in the first inning and added a run-scoring single in the sixth. The rookie finished with his sixth multi-hit effort in June and pushed his batting average up to .288 on the month. That's a nice improvement after Langford batted just .222 coming into June, and the added hits have helped him become more of a run producer. Of Langford's 24 RBI on the season, 11 have come across his 16 contests this month. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:43 pm
       
    • Randy Arozarena swipes two bases as Rays top Twins
      Randy Arozarena singled, doubled, walked, was hit by a pitch, scored a run and stole a pair of bases on Wednesday night, leading the Rays to a 3-2 victory over the Twins in 10 innings.

      Advice: After striking out in his first at-bat on the night, Arozarena reached base in each of his final four plate appearances. He led off the fourth inning with a double, but the Rays couldn’t cash him in. He then singled and swiped second base with two outs in the sixth inning, but was left stranded there. He then led off the eighth inning with a walk but was stranded at third base. Arozarena was plunked leading off the 10th inning, he swiped second base and scored the go-ahead run on a throwing error by Royce Lewis. With his two-hit attack, the 29-year-old outfielder is now hitting .185/.299/.345 to go along with 10 homers, 25 RBI and nine stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:03 pm
       
    • Idle Wednesday
      Adell isn't in the Angels' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: After starting the series 0-for-6, Adell will receive a day off for Wednesday's rubber match. Kevin Pillar will instead get the nod to start in right field while batting fourth. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:02 pm

    • Jo Adell absent from Angels’ lineup on Wednesday
      Jo Adell is absent from the Angels’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s series finale against the Brewers.

      Advice: The streaky 25-year-old outfielder has been more cold than hot as of late — slashing a cringe-inducing .118/.193/.196 with one homer, six RBI and a 23/4 K/BB ratio over 57 plate appearances in 16 games since the calendar flipped to June. He has still provided fantasy managers with power and speed, but eventually something is going to have to give if he can’t make consistent contact. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:59 pm

    • Swipes eighth bag
      Varsho went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox.

      Advice: Getting the start in center field and hitting cleanup, Varsho pilfered his third bag in the last 10 games and his eighth of the season in nine attempts. The 27-year-old sports a lopsided .216/.296/.446 slash line on the season with 11 homers, 35 RBI and 40 runs in 69 contests, but his .742 OPS still provides a significant improvement on the Blue Jays' other option in center field, Kevin Kiermaier (.545 OPS).
