  • J.D. Martinez doubles home two in win
    J.D. Martinez went 1-for-3 with a double, walk, and two RBI on Friday against the Padres.

    Advice: Martinez’s double was the extent of the Mets’ damage against Matt Waldron and offense in general on Friday. He’s now driven in the last four runs for the Mets going back to his walk-off home run on Thursday and is sporting an 18 game on-base streak. Rotoworld Friday, 8:13 pm
     
  • Jackson Merrill with another home run
    Jackson Merrill went 1-for-3 with a solo homer Friday against the Mets.

    Advice: Merrill’s home run was impressive: off lefty Sean Manaea to straight away center through the rain at Citi Field. It was another notable moment in what’s been a great rookie season for the 20-year-old. He has a .280/.314/.401 slash line with six home runs and nine stolen bases while learning center field on the fly. Rotoworld Friday, 8:12 pm
     
  • Marcell Ozuna crushes 19th home run in win
    Marcell Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer, walk, and two runs scored against the Rays on Friday.

    Advice: Ozuna got the Braves going early, taking Zack Littell deep to the opposite field in the first inning and Atlanta wouldn’t look back. Ozuna tied Kyle Tucker for third in the league with 19 home runs and has been one of the best offensive players in baseball so far this season. Rotoworld Friday, 7:03 pm
     
  • Jake Cave (head) scratched from Rockies’ lineup
    Jake Cave was scratched from the Rockies’ starting lineup on Friday after sustaining a “minor cut to his forehead” when he was hit in the side of the head by a line drive during batting practice.

    Advice: It sounds like he was fortunate to have avoided a more serious injury, but Rockies’ skipper Bud Black said he would provide another update on his status after Friday’s game. Elehuris Montero will take his place in the Rockies lineup, with Charlie Blackmon shifting from designated hitter to right field. Rotoworld Friday, 4:29 pm

  • Jake Cave suffers injury during batting practice
    Jake Cave had to be carted off the field on Friday after taking a line drive off his head during batting practice.

    Advice: Cave was down on the ground for roughly 10 minutes before he was carted off the field in a scary situation pregame on Friday. He’ll head for further evaluation. Look for the Rockies to provide an update on his status as soon as one becomes available. Rotoworld Friday, 3:38 pm

  • Carted off field during BP
    Cave was carted off the field during the Rockies' pre-game batting practice after being hit in the side of the head by a line drive, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

    Advice: Cave was stationed in right field as the Rockies took BP. Trainers were seen applying pressure to the outfielder's head before he was carted off the field. Cave was slated to bat eighth and play right field but was scratched after the incident. The severity of the injury isn't yet known. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:30 pm

  • Resting versus lefty
    Canzone isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Canzone will remain in the dugout as the Mariners face a left-handed starter for the second game in a row Friday. His absence will put Mitch Haniger in right field while Mitch Garver serves as Seattle's designated hitter. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:51 pm
     
  • Sitting versus lefty
    Lux isn't in the Dodgers' lineup Friday versus the Royals, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Advice: With southpaw Cole Ragans on the mound for Kansas City, the lefty-hitting Lux will watch the beginning of Friday's contest from Los Angeles' dugout. Miguel Rojas will fill in at the keystone and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:37 pm

  • Swats clutch homer
    Rodriguez went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in an extra-inning loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: Rodriguez was hitless in his first three at-bats but came up big in his fourth trip to the plate, smashing a game-tying solo shot in the bottom of the ninth inning. The long ball was just his second across 17 contests since he went deep in back-to-back games May 25-26. Rodriguez has 16 thefts this season but has been fairly disappointing otherwise with just six homers, 26 RBI, 34 runs and a .268/.317/.354 slash line through 300 plate appearances.
