  • Mike Yastrzemski exits early Thursday vs. Cards
    Mike Yastrzemski was removed from Thursday’s game against the Cardinals with left side tightness.

    Advice: Yastrzemski appeared to suffer some sort of side issue during the early stages of Thursday’s contest at historic Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, prior to leaving the game with a trainer in the fourth inning. He was 1-for-1 with a run scored before his early exit. There should be an additional update on his status following the contest. Rotoworld Today, 5:51 pm
     
  • Wilyer Abreu (ankle) set to return on Friday
    Wilyer Abreu (ankle) is likely to return for Friday’s series opener against the Reds.

    Advice: Abreu hammered a pair of solo homers on Wednesday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Worcester and is expected to rejoin the club for the start of a series out in Cincinnati. The 24-year-old has been on the shelf since early June when he suffered a right ankle sprain when he slipped on the dugout steps. His return will provide a lift for the Red Sox, who are riding a five-game winning streak. Rotoworld Today, 5:37 pm

  • Aaron Judge slugs 27th homer in return to lineup
    Aaron Judge went 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and three RBI on Thursday in the Yankees’ blowout loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: Judge returned to the Yankees lineup for Thursday afternoon’s showdown against Baltimore after missing only one game with left hand contusion. The home run was his 27th of the season and he’s already up to 67 RBI. Fantasy managers can exhale with the return of one of the best hitters in the game and based on this contest, it doesn’t seem like the hand is bothering him at all. Rotoworld Today, 4:49 pm

  • Exits as precaution
    Torres (groin) did not suffer a serious injury Thursday against the Orioles, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
