  • Still not starting
    Riley (side) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

  • Riley (side) out for 11th straight game
    Austin Riley (side) remained out of the Braves’ lineup for Friday’s game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Riley resumed hitting earlier this week and was seen fielding ground balls before Thursday’s game yet he remains out for the 11th consecutive game despite incomprehensibly not being placed on the injured list. It’s unclear when the third baseman will return to Atlanta’s lineup, but it should be soon. Rotoworld 10 minutes ago

  • Goes yard in win
    Santander went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's 8-6 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Santander's homer was his eighth of the season and first since May 11. He's been battling a bruised knee over the last week, which could explain his 2-for-20 run at the plate over his last five games. The outfielder is slashing .206/.280/.424 with 27 RBI, 23 runs scored, 11 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 189 plate appearances. Aside from the knee issue and the occasional rest day, he's been a regular in the Orioles' lineup as the team's starter in right field. Rotowire.com Today, 9:39 am
     
  • Pops another homer Thursday
    Davis went 2-for-6 with a two-run home run in an extra-innings win over the Rockies on Thursday.

    Advice: Davis gave the Athletics' first rally a serious boost in the eighth inning when he left the yard with Seth Brown aboard and Oakland down by three. Half of Davis' four homers on the season have come in the last three games, and with hits in each of those contests, he's pushed his OPS (.618) to its highest point since May 8.

  • Might lose roster spot
    Meneses could be optioned to Triple-A Rochester when Lane Thomas (knee) is ready to come off the injured list, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.

    Advice: The 32-year-old has been an everyday player for the Nationals this season between first base and DH, but he's managed just a .234/.299/.299 slash line in 43 games with two homers and 24 RBI. Victor Robles is the more likely candidate to get booted from the 26-man roster to make room for Thomas, but Robles is out of minor-league options and would have to be exposed to waivers, while Meneses could be optioned to Triple-A without any risk of losing him. Jesse Winker would likely become the primary DH in that scenario. Rotowire.com Today, 8:05 am
