  • 72-53-1 2nd Place
    • 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 Yesterday, 10:52 pm

    • Wilmer Flores homers twice off righty in victory
      Wilmer Flores homered twice off Michael Lorenzen in the win over the Giants on Friday.

      Advice: Flores likely only started tonight because of his grand slam off a lefty Thursday, and he wound up hitting his first two homers off a right-hander this season; he came into the game batting ,217./.309/.353 in 97 PA versus righties. The sudden hot streak will probably turn him into a lineup fixture for a spell, but he still only seems like an option in deeper formats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:38 pm
       
    • Swats two homers
      Flores went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs in Friday's win over Texas.

      Advice: Flores opened the game's scoring with a solo blast in the second inning before going deep again in the fourth. He's knocked three home runs while driving in seven runs over his last two games. Before that, he was stuck in a 21-game homerless drought, during which he produced a .490 OPS. Flores is now slashing .224/.298/.353 with four home runs and 21 RBI through 52 appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:59 pm
       
    • Patrick Wisdom goes hitless as leadoff man
      Patrick Wisdom went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts as the Cubs’ leadoff man Friday against the Reds.

      Advice: Wisdom had never before led off a game until this season. The Cubs have tried it three times versus southpaws and watched him go 2-for-12 with seven strikeouts and no runs scored. He’s been rather productive the rest of the time, but he hasn’t been able to earn many starts against righties. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:43 pm
       
    • Designated for assignment
      The Blue Jays designated Biggio for assignment Friday, Mike Wilner of the Toronto Star reports.

      Advice: In order to make room on the active roster for Spencer Horwitz, who was recalled from Triple-A Buffalo on Friday, the Blue Jays will push Biggio off their 40-man. The 29-year-old utility man began the year as an everyday starter, but he began losing work after slashing .200/.323/.291 with nine RBI through 130 plate appearances. Although his .614 OPS on the year represents the lowest mark of his six-year MLB career, his defensive versatility could still make him an attractive option for other organizations.

    • Blue Jays designate Cavan Biggio for assignment
      Blue Jays designated INF-OF Cavan Biggio for assignment,

      Advice: Spencer Horwitz is coming up in his place. Biggio saved himself from being non-tendered with a strong finish last season, but he could never get it going this year, batting .200/.323/.291 with two homers in 131 plate appearances. While he has versatility working in his favor, he’s not particularly good at any position, and he’s hit .219/.327/.351 since the beginning of 2021. The Jays will try to trade Biggio, but that might require taking on part of the approx. $2.4 million he’s still owed over the rest of the season. If he clears waivers because of that salary, he’ll likely remain with the organization, since he doesn’t have the service time to reject the assignment and still collect the money.

    • Rangers bring back INF Davis Wendzel
      Rangers recalled INF Davis Wendzel from Triple-A Round Rock.

      Advice: Wendzel spent most of April and May with the Rangers, going 2-for-19 with a homer and no walks. He’ll be available as a backup infielder while Corey Seager is sidelined. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:14 pm
       
    • Recalled from Triple-A
      The Rangers recalled Wendzel from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

      Advice: With Corey Seager day-to-day with a hamstring injury, the Rangers will bring Wendzel up from the minors to provide some short-term infield depth. The 27-year-old was optioned to Round Rock in May after going just 2-for-29 in 17 big-league games, but he's since slashed .250/.364/.386 across 55 plate appearances in Triple-A. Derek Hill was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:53 pm
       
    • Sitting again Friday
      Davis is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Toronto.

      Advice: The righty-hitting Davis will sit for a second straight game as the Blue Jays send right-hander Chris Bassitt to the mound Friday. Over his last 15 games, Davis has slashed .250/.298/.386 with two home runs and three RBI over 44 at-bats. Tyler Soderstrom will start at first base and bat seventh for the series opener.
