    • X-rays negative on Nico Hoerner’s hand after HBP
      X-rays came back negative on Nico Hoerner’s hand after being hit by a pitch during Thursday’s game against the Reds.

      Advice: Hoerner remained in the contest and appears to have avoided serious injury after being plunked on the hand by a 96.5 mph fastball from Reds starter Hunter Greene during the early stages of the game. It doesn’t sound like he’s going to wind up missing any time. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:44 pm

    • Takes second loss
      Assad (4-2) allowed five runs on seven hits across 5.2 innings to take the loss Thursday against the Reds. He walked two and struck out seven.

      Advice: Assad flashed his skill with the seven strikeouts, which tied for his second most in a game this year, but he was ultimately done in by a three-run Elly De La Cruz home run in the third inning. The righty still has a solid 2.74 ERA and 68 strikeouts across 69 innings this season, as he's performed well in his first extended run as a full-time starter for the Cubs. Assad will attempt to bounce back in his next scheduled start, which is penciled in for June 13 against the Rays on the road. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:34 pm

    • Blasts 12th home run
      Morel went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Reds.

      Advice: Morel can be streaky with his power production, but he appears to be locked in right now, as he has two home runs across his last three games and three bombs in his last seven contests. The surge has pushed him up to 12 long balls for the season. Morel popped 26 home runs last year, and he certainly could reach or surpass that figure in 2024 if he stays healthy.

    • Goes deep in loss
      Suzuki went 2-for-4 with a double and a two-run home run in Thursday's 8-4 loss to the Reds.

      Advice: Suzuki took Hunter Greene deep in the third inning for his seventh home run of the season. The outfielder now has three of those long balls over his last seven games, and he's batting a solid .308 during that span. Suzuki's numbers don't always jump off the page, but he's a fairly consistent contributor who gets plenty of playing time, which allows him to make an impact in most fantasy formats.

    • Morel hits 12th home run in loss Thursday
      Christopher Morel went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run against the Reds on Thursday.

      Advice: The home run was Morel’s 12th of the year. He’s hitting just .205 on the season, but his .212 BABIP is well below his career .287 BABIP. His 21 percent strikeout percentage is much improved from his career 29 percent strikeout percentage. Even if he goes back to striking out more, his average should improve over the rest of the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:54 pm

    • Assad allows five in loss to Reds Thursday
      Javier Assad allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings and took the loss against the Reds on Thursday.



      Advice: Assad gave up seven hits, walked two and struck out seven. He was replaced by Luke Little in a 4-4 game in the sixth inning and the run that scored on TJ Friedl’s RBI double was charged to Assad. The five earned runs were the most allowed in any start by Assad this year. His ERA is now 2.74, but his xFIP is significantly higher at 3.98. The 26-year-old right-hander is set to face the Rays on the road next week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:47 pm

    • Willson Contreras continues making rapid progress
      Willson Contreras (forearm) progressed to throwing and catching on Thursday at Busch Stadium.

      Advice: Contreras is making rapid progress in his recovery from surgery to repair a fractured left forearm and there’s optimism that he’ll be ready to return earlier than originally anticipated. The 32-year-old backstop wasn’t expected back until sometime around the All-Star break, but it’s looking like he could return before the end of the month, barring any setbacks. There should be some clarity on his timeline once he undergoes a CT scan on Friday to determine whether he’ll be cleared to resume hitting. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:15 pm
       
    • Nick Madrigal suffers fractured hand at Triple-A
      Nick Madrigal has been diagnosed with a fractured left hand.

      Advice: It’s a tough break for Madrigal, who was playing in his first game back at Triple-A Iowa after being demoted earlier this week by the Cubs. The 27-year-old infielder is facing a lengthy absence. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:10 pm

    • Homers twice in loss
      Rutschman went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and three total RBI in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Rutschman was responsible for the Orioles' first three runs Thursday, launching a solo shot off Yusei Kikuchi in the sixth inning before adding a two-run homer off Zach Pop in the eighth. Rutschman came into the day with just one home run in his previous 17 contests, though he's now hit safely in 10 straight games, going 15-for-42 (.357) in that span. The 26-year-old backstop is slashing .307/.345/.490 through 258 plate appearances this season with 12 homers, 43 RBI and 34 runs scored. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:52 pm
