    • Picks up win over Rockies
      Romero (3-1) struck out one and hit one batter in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the win over the Rockies on Friday.

      Advice: After his Monday meltdown versus the Astros, Romero has bounced back with a pair of scoreless outings. There's been little reason to worry about the southpaw this year, as he's pitched to a 1.97 ERA, 0.81 WHIP and 32:4 K:BB over 32 innings. He's added 19 holds and two blown saves while operating in a setup role, often bridging to closer Ryan Helsley. Romero's impressive control has been fueled by his slider, which he's thrown 33.5 percent of the time. Opponents are batting just .048 off the pitch, which he's generated a 44.4 percent whiff rate on this year, per Statcast. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago
       
    • Stays hot in win
      Ramos went 3-for-5 with one RBI in Friday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: Ramos logged multiple hits for the fourth time in the last five games. This was also his this time leading off in that span, and the first time he's been atop the order against a right-handed pitcher (Michael Lorenzen). Ramos is slashing .320/.416/.515 with five home runs, 20 RBI, 12 runs scored and one stolen base over 27 contests. As long as he's swinging a hot bat, it makes sense to have him at leadoff, especially since he's displayed improved plate discipline with a 13.2 percent walk rate this year.

    • Cranks first career homer
      Rocchio went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Marlins.

      Advice: Rocchio's first career homer came in the third inning of his 77th game. That blast was all the offense the Guardians could put on the board in Friday's loss. The shortstop has held down a starting role this year, but he's posted a mediocre .213/.314/.287 slash line with 11 RBI, 27 runs scored, seven stolen bases and nine doubles over 192 plate appearances.

    • Tagged with loss Friday
      Smith (3-1) allowed a run on three hits and struck out one over one inning, taking the loss versus the Marlins on Friday.

      Advice: It was a rare hiccup for Smith, who gave up a run-scoring single to Jazz Chisholm in the eighth inning. This appearance ended Smith's 12-inning scoreless streak, during which he had a 14:1 K:BB. He's at a 1.82 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 39:7 K:BB over 29.2 innings with a save and six holds as he continues to grow into a high-leverage role as a rookie. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
       
    • Restarts rehab assignment
      Springs (elbow) threw one inning at the Florida Complex League on Friday, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Springs returned to the mound for the first since feeling tightness in his shoulder May 25. He labored through a 24-pitch frame, but most importantly felt healthy after the outing. The Rays intend for Springs to throw two innings with Triple-A Durham on Wednesday. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
       
    • Swipes bag in loss
      Pederson went 2-for-3 with a double and a stolen base in Friday's 10-3 loss to the Padres.

      Advice: Pederson went 0-for-12 with two walks and six strikeouts over his first four games in June, though a run of opposing left-handed starters has limited his playing time this month. He was able to find some success against San Diego right-hander Michael King in Friday's contest, which also saw Pederson earn his third steal of the season and second in his last six games. The designated hitter is at a .290/.390/.510 slash line with seven home runs, 21 RBI, 19 runs scored and 10 doubles over 53 contests in his usual strong-side platoon role.

    • Two hits in return
      Walls went 2-for-4 Friday against the Orioles.

      Advice: Walls made his season debut after recovering from hip surgery across the first two months of the season. He hit seventh in the order and started at shortstop, shifting Brandon Lowe to the bench with a lefty on the mound. It's unclear whether Walls will be able to cut into Jose Caballero's playing time at shortstop against right-handed pitching. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago

    • Hit hard Friday
      Pfaadt (2-5) allowed five runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out five over 5.1 innings to take the loss versus the Padres on Friday.

      Advice: Even in pitcher-friendly Petco Park, Pfaadt was tagged for a season-high three home runs. He gave up back-to-back solo shots to Fernando Tatis and Jurickson Profar in the first inning and also yielded a two-run blast to Ha-Seong Kim in the sixth. This was the third start in a row where Pfaadt has given up four or more runs. He's now at a 4.60 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 76:15 K:BB through 78.1 innings across 13 starts. The right-hander is projected to make his next start at home versus the Angels. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
       
    • Making progress
      McCullers (forearm) threw 25 pitches off the bullpen mound Thursday, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: McCullers has been ramping up his activity since mid-April, and he managed to throw both sinkers and changeups in addition to his fastball Thursday. He's behind teammate Luis Garcia (elbow) in his recovery, but McCullers could be activated from the injured list at some point in August. Rotowire.com 35 minutes ago
