    • Cruz blasts 10th home run in win Saturday
      Oneil Cruz went 1-for-3 with two runs scored, a walk and a solo home run against the Rays on Saturday.



      Advice: Cruz’ home run was his 10th of the year. The solo shot came against Rays starter Zach Eflin in the first inning with two outs. It was Cruz’ first home run since June 8th. While he hits the ball hard when he connects, Cruz’ 32 percent strikeout percentage is still quite high. Maybe he’ll get his power stroke going in the second half of the year to help prop up all the strikeouts.

    • Oneil Cruz homers, scores twice in win over Rays
      Oneil Cruz homered and scored two runs in a 4-2 win for the Pirates on Saturday.

      Advice: Cruz obliterated a Zack Eflin pitch for a 445-foot dinger to tie the game at 1-1 in the first. The 25-year-old also drew a walk and came around to score a few batters later. There are going to be ups and downs with Cruz, but the power is obviously legitimate, and helps mitigate some of the contact issues. Rotoworld Saturday, 3:16 pm
       
    • Still out Saturday
      Stephenson (undisclosed) isn't in the Reds' lineup Saturday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Manager David Bell said Friday that Stephenson is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. It's still unclear what the 27-year-old backstop is dealing with, but it's enough to sideline him for a second consecutive game Saturday. While he recovers, Luke Maile will pick up another start behind the plate and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:12 am
       
    • Tyler Stephenson sits out third straight game

    • Facing hitters Sunday
      Senga (shoulder) will throw live batting practice Sunday, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

      Advice: Senga has had no issues throwing bullpen sessions over the last several days, so he will now graduate to throwing 20 pitches against hitters at the Mets' complex in Florida. Assuming all goes well, the 31-year-old righty will likely throw another few live sessions before being cleared to begin a rehab assignment with one of the Mets' minor-league affiliates.

    • Kodai Senga (shoulder) set to face hitters Sunday
      Kodai Senga (shoulder) will progress to facing hitters on Sunday in a live batting practice session.

      Advice: It’ll be the first time Senga faces hitters since experiencing a setback in his rehabilitation process back in late May. The 31-year-old righty is still weeks away from a potential return to New York’s starting rotation and isn’t going to make his season debut until sometime after next month’s All-Star break.

    • Day-to-day with undisclosed injury
      Reds manager David Bell said Friday that Stephenson is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, Chris Renkel of Local 12 in Cincinnati reports.

      Advice: Stephenson was behind the plate Monday and served as the team's designated hitter Tuesday, but he's now missed two straight games sandwiched around Thursday's team off day. It's not clear exactly what Stephenson is dealing with, but the Reds brought up Austin Wynns as insurance at catcher. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:56 pm
       
    • Sitting Friday

    • Smacks 10th homer
      Ramos went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Thursday's 6-5 loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: The outfielder has been on a power surge with four homers over his last seven games, and he's added 11 RBI in that span. Ramos leads the Giants with 10 long balls this season, and every other player on the team with at least five homers has played in a minimum of 50 games compared to his 39. Ramos has added a .307/.382/.553 slash line with 35 RBI, 17 runs scored, one stolen base and seven doubles across 170 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Friday, 10:18 am
