  • 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 Yesterday, 8:12 pm
     
  • Anthony Volpe steals two bags in win on Friday
    Anthony Volpe went 1-for-5 with a pair of stolen bases and a run scored on Friday night as the Yankees triumphed over the Red Sox.

    Advice: Volpe led off the fifth inning with a single, then swiped second and third base before scoring on Alex Verdugo’s RBI double. That would be his lone hit in five at-bats on the evening. For the season, the dynamic 23-year-old shortstop is now hitting .272/.330/.415 with six homers, 26 RBI and 15 stolen bases. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:48 pm
     
  • Exits with illness
    Caballero was removed from Friday's game against Atlanta due to an illness, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Richie Palacios replaced Caballero at second base during the third inning. The 27-year-old infielder is slashing .241/.333/.483 across 33 plate appearances since the beginning of June and will continue to rest as he fights off his sickness. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:28 pm

  • Jose Caballero leaves game with illness Friday
    Jose Caballero was removed from Friday’s battle against the Braves in the fourth inning due to illness.

    Advice: Most observers raised an eyebrow when Caballero was replaced by Richie Palacios in the ballgame, but it turns out he was simply feeling a bit under the weather. He’s considered day-to-day and should return to the Rays’ lineup at some point before the weekend is through. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:24 pm

  • Return might come Monday
    Turner (hamstring) could be activated from the 10-day injured list Sunday or Monday, Matt Gelb of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: While the Phillies have been vague about a timeline for Turner's return, Gelb notes that the shortstop ran again Friday and while he could "maybe" return Sunday, it will "probably" happen Monday instead as Philadelphia begins a six-game homestand. Turner has been shelved since early May with a left hamstring strain and it's looking like he'll skip a rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:57 pm

  • Forgettable night in return
    Moore went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts in his return from paternity leave during an extra-inning loss against the White Sox on Thursday.

    Advice: Moore had sat out the previous two games while on leave, and he went down on strikes three times against masterful White Sox starter Garrett Crochet before also logging one final punchout when facing reliever Michael Kopech. Since hitting safely in back-to-back games May 25-26, Moore has been mired in a nightmarish slump, going 4-for-42 with a single extra-base hit (a double) and a 38.8 percent strikeout across his last 13 contests.

  • Trea Turner (hamstring) running at 100 percent
    Trea Turner (hamstring) progressed to running at 100 percent on Thursday.

    Advice: Turner is trending towards making his long-awaited return to Philadelphia’s lineup at some point early next week. It sounds like the 30-year-old shortstop will skip a minor-league rehab assignment, but it wouldn’t be shocking to see him get in a couple at-bats over the weekend prior to returning.

  • Taylor Walls excluded from Thursday’s lineup
    Taylor Walls is taking a seat against a left-hander Thursday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Walls has actually hit lefties better than righties in his career, though he’s still awfully weak against both. Walls had started five of six games since coming off the injured list. The Rays went 1-4 in those games, with the lone win coming Tuesday after Walls was replaced in the seventh and the team rallied for all five of its runs. The Rays have scored a total of eight runs in the 42 innings in which Walls has played. Rotoworld Thursday, 12:58 pm

  • Dylan Moore back from paternity list
    Mariners reinstated INF/OF Dylan Moore from the paternity list.

    Advice: Moore was gone for three days. He’ll resume playing pretty regularly between second, third and left, giving him some value in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld Thursday, 11:12 am
