      Altuve went 2-for-5 with a double and a solo home run Friday against the Mets.

      Advice: Altuve recorded his fourth consecutive multi-hit game and has maintained a .337 average across 23 games in June. His power has picked up of late, as he's now popped three homers in his last 10 starts while also swiping four bags in that span. Rotowire.com Saturday, 6:48 am
       
    • Slugs 11th homer
      Merrill went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Friday's 9-2 win over the Red Sox.

      Advice: The rookie capped San Diego's improbable nine-run fifth inning by sending a Greg Weissert fastball over the fence in straightaway center field. Merrill's power has emerged as the weather has heated up -- while his 11 homers through 82 games is already good for a 21-year-old in his first MLB campaign, eight of those long balls have come in his last 15 contests, a stretch in which he's batting .309 (17-for-55) with 11 runs and 16 RBI.

    • Jackson Merrill homers in nine-run fifth inning
      Jackson Merrill hit a three-run homer to camp a nine-run fifth as the Padres bested the Red Sox 9-2 on Friday.

      Advice: The Padres were held scoreless until the fifth, when the first nine batters totaled nine runs on eight hits and one walk against Nick Pivetta and Greg Weissert. Merrill concluded the rally with the second homer of the inning. After that, the Padres put their bats back to bed, coming up with just one hit off Chase Anderson in the final four innings. Merrill’s homer was his 11th in 82 games. His current .282/.318/.439 line is a near match for the .277/.326/.444 he came in at least year, only that was compiled in high-A and Double-A.

    • Officially placed on IL
      The Giants placed Estrada on the 10-day injured list Friday with a left wrist sprain, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reported earlier Friday that Estrada has been playing through multiple injuries recently, and the Giants will now place the 28-year-old infielder on the IL so that he can recover properly. Tyler Fitzgerald will come up from Triple-A Sacramento to help replenish the Giants' infield depth, and Nick Ahmed figures to see the biggest increase in playing time while Estrada is sidelined.

    • Giants place Thairo Estrada on 10-day injured list
      Giants placed INF Thairo Estrada on the 10-day injured list with left wrist tendinitis.

      Advice: Giants’ manager Bob Melvin noted that Estrada has been playing through a lot recently, so this was a good opportunity to sit him down for a while and allow him to get right. Brett Wisely is starting in his place at second base on Friday night and could be in line for increased action while Estrada is sidelined. Rotoworld Friday, 5:38 pm

    • Headed toward IL stint
      Manager Bob Melvin said Friday that it's likely Estrada will be placed on the injured list due to an undisclosed injury, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

      Advice: Pavlovic notes that Estrada has been working through multiple injuries lately and hasn't played in back-to-back games. With the Giants needing to free up a roster spot for the return of LaMonte Wade (hamstring), Estrada could be given an extended break. Rotowire.com Friday, 4:38 pm

    • Thairo Estrada could be heading to injured list
      Thairo Estrada is not in the Giants’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Unfortunately, it sounds like it could be something more than a routine night off for Estrada and the 28-year-old infielder could be heading to the injured list. Brett Wisely will start in his place and will bat eighth against Landon Knack and the Dodgers on Friday evening in San Francisco. Rotoworld Friday, 4:22 pm

    • Sitting Friday
      Estrada isn't in the Giants' lineup for Friday's game versus the Dodgers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Estrada will take a seat Friday after going 2-for-14 with four strikeouts during the Giants' previous series against the Cubs. Brett Wisely will shift to second base while Nick Ahmed gets the nod at shortstop, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:49 pm

    • Resting against southpaw
      Kepler is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Kepler will be joined on the bench by fellow left-handed hitter Trevor Larnach as the Twins add a pair of right-handed bats (Manuel Margot and Kyle Farmer) to the lineup to counter Diamondbacks southpaw Jordan Montgomery. Expect Kepler to rejoin the starting nine for the Twins' series opener in Seattle on Friday, when right-hander Logan Gilbert is scheduled to take the hill for the Mariners.
