    • Heating up
      Candelario went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over the Brewers.

      Advice: Candelario belted a two-run home run in the fifth inning to help the Reds overcome a sloppy day in the field (five errors) and on the mound (eight walks). The home run was his third in the last two games and sixth during the month of June. After an inconsistent first two months, Candelario's bat is heating up this month. He's batting .346 (18-for-52) with nine extra-base hits, 13 RBI, two steals and eight runs over 12 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 6:33 am
       
    • Red Sox release first baseman Garrett Cooper
      Red Sox released 1B Garrett Cooper.

      Advice: Cooper went unclaimed on waivers after posting a .455 OPS with zero homers and five RBI across 75 plate appearances in 24 contests for the Red Sox after being acquired back in late April from the Cubs in a small trade. The 33-year-old first baseman should be able to latch on somewhere else, but will probably have to settle for a minor league contract. Rotoworld Today, 6:28 am
       
    • Jeimer Candelario homers in win over Brewers
      Jeimer Candelario delivered a two-run homer and a double Friday as the Reds edged the Brewers 6-5.

      Advice: Not a bad followup to his two-homer game Wednesday. Candelario has 12 homers, eight of which have come in his last 19 games. Those who weighed dropping him a few weeks ago have been rewarded for their patience. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:25 pm
       
    • Expected to be fine
      Cave received four stitches after being hit in the head by a line drive during pregame batting practice Friday, Patrick Lyons of JustBaseball.com reports.

      Advice: Although Cave had to be carted off the field following the incident, he said after Friday's game that he felt fine and that there isn't any reason to suspect he might have suffered a concussion. It's possible the Rockies keep the 31-year-old outfielder sidelined for another game or two just to be safe, but a trip to the injured list doesn't seem likely. Cave has slashed .238/.302/.305 with seven RBI through 116 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:00 pm

    • Anthony Rizzo reaches three times in win on Friday
      Anthony Rizzo singled twice, walked and drove in a run on Friday night, helping to propel the Yankees to victory over the Red Sox.

      Advice: The 34-year-old first baseman smacked a run-scoring single that plated Aaron Judge in the fifth inning, increasing the Bombers’ lead to 5-1. With his two-hit night, Rizzo upped his season slash to .228/.289/.347 to go with eight homers and 28 RBI. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:48 pm
       
    • MRI reveals significant strain
      Manager Dave Martinez said Friday that Gallo's MRI revealed a "significant hamstring strain," Bobby Blanco of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: Martinez didn't give a return timeline for Gallo, simply saying that the 30-year-old will be out for "a while." Joey Meneses has been acting as Washington's primary first baseman since Gallo landed on the injured list Wednesday, but it's possible the Nationals decide to add someone from their farm system or outside the organization to help split the workload.

    • Jake Cave (head) scratched from Rockies’ lineup
      Jake Cave was scratched from the Rockies’ starting lineup on Friday after sustaining a “minor cut to his forehead” when he was hit in the side of the head by a line drive during batting practice.

      Advice: It sounds like he was fortunate to have avoided a more serious injury, but Rockies’ skipper Bud Black said he would provide another update on his status after Friday’s game. Elehuris Montero will take his place in the Rockies lineup, with Charlie Blackmon shifting from designated hitter to right field. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:29 pm

    • 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
       
    • Jake Cave suffers injury during batting practice
      Jake Cave had to be carted off the field on Friday after taking a line drive off his head during batting practice.

      Advice: Cave was down on the ground for roughly 10 minutes before he was carted off the field in a scary situation pregame on Friday. He’ll head for further evaluation. Look for the Rockies to provide an update on his status as soon as one becomes available. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:38 pm
