    • Getting breather versus LHP
      Suwinski isn't in the Pirates' lineup Saturday versus the Cubs.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Suwinski will retreat to the bench as fellow lefty Shota Imanaga toes the slab for the Cubs on Saturday. As a result, Edward Olivares will pick up a start in right field and bat fourth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:13 am
       
    • Brandon Nimmo returns to lineup on Saturday
      Brandon Nimmo (illness) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Marlins.

      Advice: Nimmo is back in New York’s lineup in left field and batting third following a two-game absence due to a stomach bug. The interesting twist here is that Francisco Lindor is up in the leadoff spot with lefty Braxton Garrett taking the hill for Miami. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:10 am
       
    • Deployed in eighth inning Friday
      Suarez earned a hold against Atlanta on Friday, allowing two hits and striking out two batters over one inning.

      Advice: Suarez has been one of the best closers in baseball this season with 12 saves (in 12 chances) and a 0.47 ERA, so his usage in the eighth inning against Atlanta was not a demotion. Rather, the right-hander was called upon to face the heart of Atlanta's formidable lineup, and though he gave up singles to Marcell Ozuna and Chadwick Tromp, Suarez managed to emerge from the outing with his 16-game scoreless streak intact. The 33-year-old should see most of his work in the ninth inning going forward, though Friday's usage is an indication that manager Mike Shildt won't hesitate to use Suarez in the highest-leverage situations prior to the ninth if the situation calls for it.

    • Robert Suarez faces heart of Braves lineup in 8th
      Robert Suarez worked the eighth against the Braves on Friday and picked up his first hold by pitching a scoreless inning.

      Advice: The Padres don’t usually play matchups with their closer, but they did tonight with No. 2 hitter Ozzie Albies due up to start the eighth. It all worked out perfectly; Suarez gave up a couple of hits, but he protected the two-run lead, and then Jeremiah Estrada locked things up against the bottom of the order in the ninth.

    • Jhoan Duran allows winning run to Guardians
      Jhoan Duran gave up an eighth inning home run to José Ramirez and took the loss on Friday night.

      Advice: Duran entered this game tied in the eighth inning against the top of the Guardians’ order and allowed the game-winning run. It would’ve been interesting to see how the Twins managed Duran had he got through the inning cleanly: he’s yet to pitch more than an inning this season and hasn’t thrown more than 18 pitches.

    • Jeremy Peña hits three-run blast in win over MIL
      Jeremy Peña hit a three-run homer to help the Astros to a 5-4 win over the Brewers on Friday.

      Advice: Peña came up huge for the Astros with a three-run homer off Freddy Peralta that gave the Astros their 5-4 lead in the fifth inning. The shortstop has enjoyed a strong first six-plus weeks of the season, as he’s gone deep five times while slashing .326/.364/.469. This is the version of Peña fantasy managers were hoping to see in 2023. So far, so good in 2024. Rotoworld Friday, 7:55 pm
       
    • Held out again Friday
      Nimmo (illness) remains out of the lineup for Friday's contest in Miami.

      Advice: Nimmo was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup due to a stomach bug and he's evidently still not feeling well enough to play. With Nimmo resting, the Mets will go with Tyrone Taylor in left field and in the leadoff spot. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:52 pm
       
    • Arraez back in the lineup Friday
      Arraez is back in the Padres lineup, hitting leadoff against the Braves on Friday.

      Advice: Arraez had a routine day off on Wednesday as the Padres faced Rockies left-hander Austin Gomber. He’s back in there as the designated hitter and leadoff man for Friday’s game. Rotoworld Friday, 12:51 pm
       
    • Getting breather Friday
      Campusano is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

      Advice: Campusano had been behind the plate for the Padres in each of the previous four contests, but he'll begin this one on the bench. Kyle Higashioka will do the catching for knuckleballer Matt Waldron. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:37 pm
