    • Swipes two bags Friday
      Pillar went 1-for-4 with a walk, a run and two stolen bases against Texas in Friday's 9-3 victory.

      Advice: Pillar made the most of his two trips on base, notching a theft in each of the third and fifth frames. The veteran outfielder extended his hitting streak to five games, and he's been scorching hot during that stretch, going 11-for-20 with a homer, eight RBI, six runs and four stolen bases. Pillar has four career MLB campaigns with double-digit homers and steals, and he appears en route for a fifth with four long balls and six thefts in 28 contests this year.

    • Gets breather Saturday
      Mountcastle isn't in the Orioles' lineup for Saturday's game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Mountcastle will get a day to regroup Saturday after going 1-for-16 across his last four games. While he sits, Ryan O'Hearn will pick up a start at first base while Anthony Santander serves as Baltimore's DH, opening up a spot in the outfield for Austin Hays. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
       
    • Breather Saturday
      Haniger is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Orioles.

      Advice: Haniger will get a breather after starting the team's last 11 contests, batting .237 with two home runs and three RBI over that stretch. Dominic Canzone will take over in right field and bat seventh against Baltimore. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago
       
    • Decent in no-decision
      Paxton allowed three runs on seven hits and struck out two without walking a batter over six innings in a no-decision versus the Reds on Friday.

      Advice: Paxton did fine, though he gave up solo home runs to Stuart Fairchild and Tyler Stephenson to account for two of the three runs on his line. After posting just one quality start over five outings in April, Paxton has settled in with three in a row to begin May. The southpaw has done well at run prevention this year with a 2.84 ERA despite a 1.38 WHIP and 24:24 K:BB through 44.1 innings over eight starts. He's projected to make his next start at home versus the Diamondbacks. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:52 pm

    • Paxton has Quality Start vs. Reds, but no-decision
      James Paxton held the Reds to three runs over six innings but picked up no decision Friday.

      Advice: The southpaw allowed seven hits, and while he didn’t issue a walk, he also only finished with a pair of strikeouts. The 35-year-old allowed a pair of homers in the game — both solo shots by Tyler Stephenson and Stuart Fairchild — and saw his ERA tick up to 2.84 despite picking up a Quality Start. Paxton has mostly looked the part in 2024, and while there are injury concerns and always will be, there’s plenty of reason to roster him in fantasy while he’s able to get on the bump.

    • Diagnosed with bruised head
      D'Arnaud was diagnosed with a head contusion after leaving Friday's game against the Padres in the sixth inning, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: D'Arnaud reported dizziness after taking a foul ball off his facemask during the fifth inning. Manager Brian Snitker said that d'Arnaud passed all the initial tests for a potential concussion, but the team will evaluate him again Saturday before making a decision on his status going forward.

    • Travis d’Arnaud leaves game with head contusion
      Travis d’Arnaud was pulled from Friday night’s battle against the Padres due to a head contusion.

      Advice: The 35-year-old backstop was dizzy after taking a foul ball off of his mask, prompting his removal from the game. The good news, is that he passed the initial concussion tests without issue, but he will be evaluated again on Saturday before the team makes a determination on his status. For now, he should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:32 pm
       
    • Exits with dizziness
      D'Arnaud was removed from Friday's game against San Diego due to dizziness.

      Advice: D'Arnaud took a foul ball off his facemask in the fifth inning and did not take the field for the sixth. Atlanta will likely evaluate him for a possible concussion, and an update on his status should come after Friday's contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:19 pm
       
    • Dominant in first MLB win
      Skenes (1-0) earned the win over the Cubs on Friday, issuing just one walk while striking out 11 over six hitless, scoreless innings.

      Advice: Skenes was lights out in his second big-league start -- he struck out the first seven batters he faced while holding the Cubs without a baserunner until Michael Busch's one-out walk in the fifth inning. Skenes has been as advertised to start his career, averaging 99.3 MPH with his fastball Friday and generating a 44 percent whiff rate with the pitch. The 21-year-old right-hander has allowed three runs through his first 10 innings while striking out 18. Skenes will look to keep rolling in his next outing, which tentatively lined up as a home matchup with the Giants. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:33 pm
