  • Report: Rockies calling up prospect Adael Amador
    Independent journalist Francys Romero reports the Rockies are calling up top prospect Adael Amador.

    Advice: Amador has been sizzling-hot of late for Double-A Harford, batting .359 with six homers over his last nine games, on the heels of a frosty start to the year. The 21-year-old prodigy possesses excellent bat-to-ball skills, which should lead to high batting averages in Colorado, and is starting to show some additional over-the-fence pop. It’s unclear how long he’ll remain in the majors, but he figures to be worthy of a speculative pickup in deeper mixed leagues. Rotoworld Today, 11:50 am

  • Swats pair of doubles Friday
    France went 2-for-3 with an RBI ground-rule double, another two-bagger, a walk, a hit-by-pitch and a run in a loss to the Royals on Friday.

    Advice: France made up for missing out on the Mariners' first-inning fun by lacing a ground-rule double in the fourth to plate J.P. Crawford and extend Seattle's lead to 8-0 at the time. The 29-year-old has dialed in his stroke since the latter part of May and is swinging with more authority, generating a .304 average and .950 OPS over the last 14 contests with six extra-base hits (four doubles, two home runs) and 10 RBI during that span.

  • Drives in three in wild loss
    Haniger went 1-for-4 with a three-run double, a walk and a run in a loss to the Royals on Friday.

    Advice: Haniger's bases-clearing two-bagger was an integral part of a first-inning onslaught by the Mariners that had netted a 7-0 lead by the time it concluded. The timely knock was a rare one for the mostly struggling veteran, who'd driven in just one run in the previous 14 games. Haniger has hit safely in nine of his last 10 contests overall, but just two of his hits in that span have gone for extra bases. Rotowire.com Today, 8:11 am
     
  • Boone: Soto ‘wasn’t an option’ Friday vs. Dodgers
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters after Friday’s extra-innings loss to the Dodgers that Juan Soto (forearm) wasn’t available.

    Advice: Soto left Thursday’s game with inflammation in his forearm, and there was some speculation that the outfielder could be available off the bench for Friday’s contest. Several possibilities passed where Soto could have entered, but Boone kept the outfielder on the bench. It’s possible that the slugger could return over the weekend, but the Yankees aren’t going to rush the superstar back. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:44 pm

  • Sitting against lefty
    Siani isn't in the Cardinals' lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.

    Advice: With the Cardinals set to face left-hander Austin Gomber, the lefty-hitting Siani will step out of the lineup Friday. Dylan Carlson will get the nod in center field instead and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:07 pm
     
  • Should avoid injured list
    Imaging on Soto's left elbow came back clean, and the outfielder could be available this weekend, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The 25-year-old was diagnosed with forearm inflammation but doesn't appear to be dealing with a severe injury, and he should be considered day-to-day. A quick return to the lineup is plausible, though Soto is certainly not guaranteed to see the field versus the Dodgers this weekend. Trent Grisham will enter the lineup in his place and man center field Friday, pushing Aaron Judge to right. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:21 pm

  • Juan Soto day-to-day with forearm inflammation
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone called Juan Soto day-to-day with forearm inflammation.

    Advice: Tests didn’t reveal any ligament damage, so that’s good. Of course, it wouldn’t be the first time early tests failed to pick up on something, but optimism is warranted for now. Soto is not in the lineup for Friday’s game against the Dodgers, but he hasn’t been ruled out for the weekend. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:07 pm

  • Juan Soto (forearm) will be OK, per Heyman
    Initial doctor reports suggests Yankees OF Juan Soto will be OK, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

    Advice: The initial prognosis is inflammation for Soto. While his timetable to return to the field is still unclear, this is certainly a relief as it appears the Yankees have avoided the worst case scenario with their star outfielder. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:09 pm

  • Initial imaging shows inflammation
    Soto received a preliminary diagnosis of left forearm inflammation after undergoing medical imaging Friday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. He's out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: The 25-year-old was removed from Thursday's contest with left forearm discomfort, which he apparently has dealt with throughout the past week. Soto will sit for at least one game, and his outlook for the immediate future remains a bit murky. The initial reports are an encouraging development and indicate he may have avoided a serious injury, however. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:09 pm
