  • Padres activate Luis Campusano from 10-day IL
    Padres activated C Luis Campusano from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The 25-year-old has been shelved since June 21 due to a left thumb contusion. While he was activated, Campusano is not in the Padres’ starting lineup on Friday night, it’s Kyle Higashioka behind the dish.

  • Returning from IL
    Campusano (thumb) will be activated from the 10-day injured list Friday, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Campusano has been on the injured list since June 22 due to a left thumb injury and has played in four rehab games with Single-A Lake Elsinore, going 2-for-15 with a homer and four RBI. The 25-year-old backstop said he will resume catching for the Padres on Sunday, per Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune, at which point he could take over for Kyle Higashioka as the Friars' primary backstop. Campusano has slashed .234/.282/.371 across 220 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:37 pm
     
  • Idle Friday
    Rogers isn't in the Tigers' lineup for Friday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: Rogers went 1-for-3 and drove in two runs during Detroit's loss to Minnesota on Thursday. He'll now get a breather during Friday's series opener while Carson Kelly starts at catcher, batting fourth. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:14 pm
     
  • Not in Atlanta lineup
    Murphy is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Phillies.

    Advice: Travis d'Arnaud will do the catching for Max Fried in the series opener. Murphy has a 1.050 OPS over his last 12 games and would seem to be a good bet to be in the lineup Saturday and Sunday. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:22 pm
     
  • On bench Friday
    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Jeffers will get a breather Friday after notching three hits, including a two-run homer and an RBI double, during Thursday's win over Detroit. Christian Vazquez will catch and bat ninth against Houston. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:20 am
     
  • Registers second steal
    Naylor went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one stolen base in Thursday's 8-4 win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Naylor has gone 13-for-36 (.361) with seven extra-base hits and eight RBI over his last 12 contests. His steal Thursday was his second of the campaign on three attempts. While he doesn't offer much speed, he's started to hit well enough to maintain steady playing time behind the dish, though he's at a .203/.272/.330 slash line through 61 games overall. Austin Hedges is backing up Naylor at catcher while David Fry has seen most of his recent playing time at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Thursday, 10:13 pm

  • Featured in blowout win
    Jeffers went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, an RBI double, an RBI single and an additional run scored during Thursday's 12-3 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Although Thursday's contest was called after seven innings due to rain, Jeffers and the Twins' offense had no trouble putting up runs. The 27-year-old drove in four of those runs, highlighted by a two-run home run off Kenta Maeda in the fourth inning. Jeffers' round tripper was his 15th of the year, which is a career-high tally. The outing was also Jeffers' first multi-hit performance in 11 games and marked his second four-RBI game of 2024. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:10 pm
     
  • Contreras has two hits in loss to Rockies Thursday
    William Contreras went 2-for-5 against the Rockies on Thursday.

    Advice: Contreras enjoyed his time in Colorado. He went 8-for-19 (.421) with a home run and a double in the four game series at Coors Field. The 26-year-old All-Star catcher is hitting .298 with an .804 OPS on the season. Rotoworld Thursday, 8:04 pm
     
  • Smacks homer Thursday
    Garver went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Orioles.

    Advice: Garver didn't start Tuesday or Wednesday due to a sore wrist. He played in a non-defensive capacity Thursday and lifted a seventh-inning homer as the designated hitter while batting second in the lineup -- the highest spot he's hit all year. The 33-year-old struggled with a .187 batting average in June, though he slugged .453 with five homers, five doubles and 17 RBI. Overall, he's posted a .177/.295/.367 slash line with 11 long balls, 33 RBI, 28 runs scored and 12 doubles across 281 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 4:47 pm
