    • Ohtani gets Tungsten O’Doyle’d against former team
      Shohei Ohtani homered and reached four times in a 3-2 loss to the Angels on Friday in 10 innings.

      Advice: We’re used to seeing those type of efforts from Ohtani being wasted, but usually it was for the Angels, not against them. The 29-year-old absolutely destroyed a solo blast off Matt Moore in the fifth for his 22nd homer of the year and 55th RBI of the season. The only blemish was a caught stealing for Ohtani, but that was just the second of the season. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
       
    • Bryan De La Cruz goes 3-for-4, hits 14th home run
      Bryan De La Cruz went 3-for-4 with a homer and a double as the Marlins edged the Mariners 3-2 on Friday.

      Advice: Oddly enough, the Marlins had no one with one hit tonight; De La Cruz had three, Josh Bell and Tim Anderson had two and no one else reached via hit or walk. De La Cruz’s homer was his third in four games and 14th on the season. If he played on a better team, he’d be an easy top 30 or 40 fantasy outfielders right now. As is, he still seems like a pretty fringy mixed-league option. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
       
    • Trevor Rogers holds Mariners to two runs
      Trevor Rogers held the Mariners to two runs in 6 1/3 innings Friday in a no-decision.

      Advice: Rogers has a 3.29 ERA over his last seven starts, lowering his season mark from 6.57 to 4.90. Still, he’s a tough sell in mixed leagues with his middling strikeout rate while being back by a lousy team. The Marlins’ win tonight was just their second in the 15 games that Rogers has started. Of course, he wasn’t involved in the decision, so he remains 1-8. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
       
    • 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 21 minutes ago
       
    • Ryan Bliss goes 3-for-3 versus Marlins
      Ryan Bliss had half of the Mariners’ hits Friday, finishing 3-for-3 with an RBI against the Marlins.

      Advice: Bliss’s .238/.319/.381 line through 49 plate appearances isn’t particularly remarkable, but that’s actually an above average OPS+ for a Seattle hitter in 2024. He’s going to have a case for sticking around after Jorge Polanco returns, which could happen this weekend. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago

    • Carlos Estévez gets save against Dodgers
      Carlos Estévez struck out two while picking up a save in a scoreless inning of work against the Dodgers on Friday.

      Advice: Estévez has been one of the few bright spots for the Angels this year, and now has 14 saves on the season and a 3.38 ERA. With Los Angeles nowhere near contention for a postseason spot, it would seem likely that the 31-year-old is pitching for a new team before August. Whether that’s in a closing role or not is a big question. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
       
    • Cal Raleigh slips below Mendoza Line in loss
      Cal Raleigh went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the Marlins on Friday.

      Advice: Raleigh often seems to come up with the big hit, but the little hit has been a problem this year, as he’s batted just .198/.276/.380 in 272 plate appearances. The Mariners aren’t going to change much about his usage, but maybe they’ll give him the occasional extra day off and roll with Mitch Garver behind the plate. Rotoworld 21 minutes ago
       
    • Landon Knack fires five scoreless against Angels
      Landon Knack didn’t give up a run while working five innings in his start Friday against the Angels.

      Advice: Knack was called up to start Friday’s opener against the Angels, and he pitched effectively. The 26-year-old allowed just two hits, struck out two and issued two free passes with 48-of-73 pitches landing for strikes. The right-hander has likely earned another start with this effort, but nothing is set in stone. Depending on the matchup, Knack is absolutely worth consideration for fantasy players going forward.

    • Set to start Saturday
      Anderson will start Saturday's game against the Mariners, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Anderson made his first big-league start of the season June 14 and gave up four earned runs across only two innings of work. He's worked longer stints while at Triple-A Jacksonville, so it's possible that he could pitch deep enough into the game to be eligible for the win if he can find more effectiveness. Anderson is not on the Marlins' roster, so a formal roster move will have to occur prior to Saturday's game. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago
