    • Smashes homer in win
      Garver went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks in Friday's 3-2 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: Garver is up to eight homers this season, and he's hit three of them over his last eight games. In that stretch, he's batting .250 (6-for-24) with eight RBI and two doubles. It's encouraging to see more power out of the 33-year-old -- he went 18 games without a homer between May 13 and June 5. Garver is slashing a poor .176/.300/.352 across 230 plate appearances this season, though he's added 25 RBI, 23 runs scored and 10 doubles while seeing fairly steady playing time at designated hitter.

    • Mitch Garver connects on two-run homer in win
      Mitch Garver hit a two-run homer to help the Mariners to a 3-2 win over the Rangers on Friday.

      Advice: Garver tied the game at 2-2 in the first inning with a blast that scored J-Rod in the first inning. The veteran backstop/DH has been swinging the bat much better as of late, and he’s now homered eight times with 25 RBI. Garver’s slash of .176/.300/.352 isn’t aesthetically pleasing, but again, those numbers aren’t indicative of the last few weeks. Rotoworld Today, 9:39 pm
       
    • Shea Langeliers belts first career grand slam
      Shea Langeliers belted the first grand slam of his big-league career on Friday night, unfortunately it came in a losing effort against the Twins.

      Advice: The 26-year-old backstop got the Athletics’ offense started with a bang on Friday night, tagging Simeon Woods Richardson for a 408-foot (102.8 mph EV) four-run blast on the first pitch that he saw in the first inning. That would be hit only hit on the night, finishing the evening 1-for-5. Rotoworld Today, 8:44 pm
    • Exits with concussion-like symptoms
      Davis was removed from Friday's game against the Rockies after exhibiting concussion-like symptoms.

      Advice: It's unclear when exactly Davis might have suffered the injury, but he was replaced behind the dish by Yasmani Grandal ahead of the seventh inning. Davis is in the process of being evaluated by the Pirates' medical staff, and an update on his status should come in the near future. Rotowire.com Today, 8:14 pm

    • Hits first career homer
      Pages went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Pages opened the scoring with his first career homer, taking Hayden Wesneski deep in the eighth inning. This was Pages' fourth start over the Cardinals' last five games, though he's gone just 3-for-12 in that span. All of his starts have come at catcher, which has taken a small chunk out of Ivan Herrera's playing time recently. Pages is slashing just .125/.231/.250 with seven RBI, four runs scored and one double through 39 plate appearances. With Willson Contreras (forearm) tracking toward an earlier-than-anticipated return, Pages may be on his way back to Triple-A Memphis before the end of the month. Rotowire.com Today, 3:59 pm
       
    • Logs steal Friday
      Herrera went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.

      Advice: Herrera is up to four steals this season, three of which he's recorded over 11 games in June. The catcher is batting .316 (12-for-38) this month, adding five doubles, seven runs scored and one RBI. For the season, he's at a steady .273/.335/.366 slash line with three home runs, 17 RBI, 22 runs scored and six doubles over 179 plate appearances. Herrera has started behind the dish just once in the last five games, though it's unclear why his playing time has dipped since Pedro Pages has made little impact with his bat.

    • Riding pine Friday
      Grandal is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies.

      Advice: For the third time in the last five games, Grandal will give way to Henry Davis behind the dish. Grandal is 2-for-21 (.095) in June, though Davis hasn't been much better this month, going 2-for-15 (.133) with nine strikeouts. Rotowire.com Today, 2:58 pm
    • Pedro Pagés hits first major league home run
      Pedro Pagés hit his first big-league homer Friday against the Cubs.

      Advice: In the top of the eighth, Pagés hit a ball to left at 102.5 mph with a 32-degree launch angle and got it just into the basket over Ian Happ’s outstretched glove. 10 minutes later, Patrick Wisdom hit a ball to the same area at 111.0 mph with a 33-degree launch angle and somehow came up just short. Pagés’ homer came in his 39th career plate appearance. He’s batting .125 while splitting time with Iván Herrera behind the plate for the Cardinals. Rotoworld Today, 2:05 pm
       
    • Idle against southpaw
      Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: Rortvedt will take a seat Friday with lefty Chris Sale on the mound for Atlanta. Alex Jackson will bat ninth and catch for Zack Littell. Rotowire.com Today, 1:50 pm
