    • Finding stride at plate
      Acuna went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's win over the Mets.

      Advice: He took Jose Quintana deep in the third inning, part of a four-run frame for Atlanta. Acuna may be turning things around at the plate -- after posting a 26.5 percent strikeout rate in April, he's fanned just 19.4 percent of the time through the first seven games in May. He's also batting .310 (9-for-29) to begin the month with two of his three homers on the season. Rotowire.com Today, 7:31 am
       
    • Jameson Taillon questionable for Sunday start
      Jameson Taillon is dealing with renewed back discomfort and might not start Sunday’s series final against the Pirates.

      Advice: Taillon will test his back on Saturday to determine whether he’ll take the ball for Sunday’s series finale against the Pirates. The 32-year-old, who missed the first couple weeks of the season due to a back strain, felt something in his back while warming up earlier this week for a bullpen session, which led to his start being pushed back from Friday to later this weekend. There should be some clarity on his status at some point prior to Sunday’s showdown. Rotoworld Today, 6:57 am
       
    • Homer, double in win
      Campusano went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Campusano opened the scoring with a third-inning solo shot. He added a double in the 10th, and pinch runner Tyler Wade scored one Luis Arraez's walk-off single. Campusano has reached base safely in his last six games, going 7-for-19 (.368) with two walks and six RBI in that span. The catcher is up to three homers, 10 doubles, 23 RBI, 17 runs scored and a .283/.323/.442 slash line through 35 contests this season in a starting role behind the plate.

    • Luis Campusano homers in victory over Dodgers
      Luis Campusano hit a solo homer in a victory Friday over the Dodgers for the Padres.

      Advice: Campusano got the only hit of the game for the Padres while Tyler Glasnow was in the game, and it was a solo homer to give San Diego a 1-0 lead. The 25-year-old catcher remains a solid — and quite frankly, underrated — catching option, as he’s hit three homers, driven in 23 runs and slashed .283/.323/.442. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:58 pm
       
    • Blaze Alexander finishes 0-for-4 against Orioles
      Blaze Alexander went 0-for-4 and struck out twice against the Orioles on Friday.

      Advice: Alexander has been taking a backseat to the steadier glove of Kevin Newman now that he’s cooled off at the plate, and the start today was his second in Arizona’s last five games. He’s gone hitless in his last four appearances in the lineup, and his OPS has dropped from 1.000 on Apr. 19 to .803 currently. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:32 pm
       
    • Ronald Acuña Jr. goes deep in win
      Ronald Acuña Jr. hit just his third home run of the season Friday in a win over the Mets.

      Advice: A welcome sight, Acuña’s homer was an impressive shot traveling an estimated 461 feet through the cold, rainy New York night at 114.2 mph exit velocity. Acuña’s power hasn’t been there yet this season, but patience is a virtue with a superstar of this level. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:50 pm
       
    • Sitting against lefty
      Donovan isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Friday's game against the Brewers, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

      Advice: Left-hander Robert Gasser will make his MLB debut Friday as Milwaukee's starting pitcher, meaning the left-handed bat of Donovan will begin the game from the Cardinals' dugout. Lars Nootbaar, Mike Siani and Dylan Carlson will start across St. Louis' outfield while Donovan sits. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:23 pm
       
    • Dealing with back stiffness
      Cubs manager Craig Counsell said that Taillon was scratched from Friday's start against the Pirates due to back stiffness, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

      Advice: Taillon felt his back tighten up Tuesday when playing catch, and it didn't improve in time for him to make his scheduled start in the series opener. Counsell noted that the right-hander's back issue is not as bad as the one he dealt with in spring training, which caused Taillon to start the season on the 15-day IL. He will be re-evaluated Saturday, and there's a chance he could take the mound Sunday. Javier Assad will start Friday while Justin Steele will get the nod Saturday.

    • Cubs place Dansby Swanson (knee) on 10-day IL
      Cubs placed INF Dansby Swanson on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to May 8, with a right knee sprain.

      Advice: Swanson sat out of Wednesday’s contest due to soreness in his knee, and now he’ll be out for at least an additional week while recovering. Fortunately, the Cubs also got good news on the injury front on Friday with Seiya Suzuki being activated from the injured list in a corresponding move. Expect Nico Hoerner to slide over and cover shortstop while Swanson is shelved, leaving Miles Mastrobuoni to see increased action at second base. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:49 pm
