    • Joey Ortiz walks three times in return to lineup
      Joey Ortiz (hamstring) went 0-for-2 with an RBI and also walked three times on Friday in his return to the lineup.

      Advice: Ortiz was back at third base and batting seventh on Friday night agains the Reds following a two-game absence due to right hamstring soreness. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern moving forward for the 25-year-old infielder, who is in the midst of a true breakout season in his Brewers debut. Rotoworld Today, 4:11 am

    • Brett Baty raises average to .519 at Triple-A
      Brett Baty went 3-for-3 with an RBI on Friday for Triple-A Syracuse.

      Advice: Baty has torn the cover off the ball since a late-May demotion to the minors, batting an absurd .519 (14-for-27) with three homers and 10 RBI in six games for Triple-A Syracuse. The 24-year-old former top prospect seems to be re-gaining some much-needed confidence at the dish and appears to be also adding some defensive versatility to his toolkit by spending some time at second base recently. It’s unclear when Baty will get another shot in New York, but he’s showed some encouraging signs over the last few weeks away from the spotlight in the upper minors. Rotoworld Today, 3:37 am
       
    • Hits first homer of season
      Taylor went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-3 win over the Royals.

      Advice: This was Taylor's first homer and second extra-base hit over 106 plate appearances this season. The veteran utility man has a pitiful .108/.200/.151 slash line with nine RBI, six runs scored and one stolen base over 39 contests. Taylor is usually able to carve out a steady role as a short-side platoon option at a variety of positions, but his poor hitting and the Dodgers' good health with their batters has prevented the 33-year-old from seeing anything close to regular playing time.

    • Homers in comeback win
      Rojas went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 4-3 win over the Royals.

      Advice: Rojas sparked the Dodgers' comeback with his fifth-inning homer off Cole Ragans. The long ball was Rojas' first since April 3. The infielder has three multi-hit efforts over his last eight games, but he's also gone hitless three times in that span. For the season, he's at a .280/.330/.449 slash line with three homers, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and three stolen bases over 115 plate appearances. Rojas appears to be out of the mix for time at third base following the Dodgers' trade for Cavan Biggio. It's likely Rojas will settle into a short-side platoon role at second base going forward, sharing the position with Gavin Lux. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:52 pm

    • Miguel Rojas blasts two-run homer vs. Royals
      Miguel Rojas hit a two-run homer in a 4-3 win over the Royals on Friday.

      Advice: Rojas got the Dodgers back in the game with a two-run shot off an otherwise-effective Cole Ragans. The 35-year-old is better known for his glove than his bat, but this is his third homer of 2024, and his slash of .280/.339/.449 is nothing to sneeze at. That .779 OPS is over 100 points over his career mark of .667, so it’s hard to fathom this keeps up in the second half of the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:19 pm

    • Colt Keith collects two hits in loss to Astros
      Colt Keith went 2-for-3 with a pair of singles as the Tigers were shut out by the Astros on Friday evening in Houston.

      Advice: As a team, the Tigers were only able to muster five total hits against Hunter Brown and company on Friday night, with Keith the only member of the squad to have more than one. The 22-year-old’s bat has started to heat up after a miserable start to his MLB career, but he’s still slashing an underwhelming .222/.273/.284 with just two homers, 19 RBI and three stolen bases in 60 games on the season.

    • Serving as DH on Friday
      Montero is starting as the designated hitter and batting eighth for Friday's game against the Pirates.

      Advice: Montero was initially slated to begin Friday's game in the dugout, but he was inserted into the starting lineup after Jake Cave (undisclosed) was carted off the field during batting practice after being hit in the head by a line drive. Montero will face off against Pirates right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:18 pm
       
    • Not starting Friday
      Guillorme is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Giants, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

      Advice: Despite the Giants sending right-hander Spencer Howard to the mound Friday, the lefty-hitting Guillorme will begin the the game in the dugout. Michael Stefanic will start at second base and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:46 pm
       
    • Taking seat versus LHP
      Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

      Advice: Rojas will take a seat Friday as the Mariners prepare to face left-handed starter Andrew Heaney. Dylan Moore will start at third base instead while Ryan Bliss covers second. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:47 pm
