  • Vladimir Guerrero Jr. homers in loss
    Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 2-for-4 with a solo home run on Friday in a loss to the Guardians

    Advice: This Blue Jays offense is a disaster. Guerrero’s solo shot was their only glimmer of offense before they loaded the bases in the ninth inning. The home run was Guerrero’s eighth, a very disappointing number as we near the midway point of the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:50 pm
     
  • Scratched Friday with illness
    Drury was scratched from the Angels' lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Dodgers due to an illness, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: After being scratched from Wednesday's lineup, Drury was set to return to action Friday following the team's off day Thursday. His illness appears to have lingered, however. Michael Stefanic will start at second base and bat eighth against Dodgers right-hander Landon Knack, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:52 pm

  • Returns to lineup
    Drury (illness) is batting sixth and playing second base Friday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Drury was a late scratch Wednesday due to illness but after a team day off Thursday, he's feeling good enough to play. The second baseman is 1-for-6 since returning from the IL on Monday and owns a .469 OPS on the year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:48 pm

  • Royals activate OF Hunter Renfroe for Friday return
    Royals activated OF Hunter Renfroe from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Renfroe’s toe turned out not to be fractured after all and he’s back with the Royals already. He’s hitting .200 with six home runs and 26 RBI in 170 at-bats with Kansas City. Renfroe will have to pick up his performance or the Royals could look for an outfield upgrade around the trade deadline. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:12 pm
     
  • Returns from injured list
    The Royals reinstated Renfroe (toe) from the 15-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: The 32-year-old resumed taking swings over the weekend and is back on the active roster after spending the 10-day minimum on the shelf with a bruised toe. Renfroe had a hot start to June prior to the injury as he went 7-for-18 with two doubles, two homers and six RBI in six games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:47 am
     
  • Swats solo shot in victory
    Paredes went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning win against Minnesota.

    Advice: Paredes supplied the only run off Twins starter Joe Ryan with his third-inning solo shot to left field. The long ball was his first of June and just his second over his past 25 contests. Paredes has slowed down in the power department after a fast start to the season, but he's still the Rays' leader with 11 home runs overall. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:08 pm

  • Brandon Drury scratched with illness on Wednesday
    Brandon Drury was scratched from the Angels’ starting lineup on Wednesday night due to illness.

    Advice: The 31-year-old infielder had just returned from the injured list on Monday, so it’s encouraging to hear that it’s just an illness keeping him out of action and not a recurrence of his hamstring issue. He should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Wednesday, 4:43 pm
