  • Headed for injured list
    Toro suffered a strained hamstring Friday and will be placed on the injured list, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Toro was held out of the lineup earlier in the week with a shoulder issue and returned to the lineup Friday. He suffered an unrelated hamstring injury and will now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. Tyler Nevin and Aledmys Diaz figure to see increased playing time. Rotowire.com Today, 9:27 pm

  • Luis Garcia Jr. homers and steals base in victory
    Luis Garcia Jr. homered and stole a base in a blowout win over the Rockies on Friday.

    Advice: Garcia Jr. hit a three-run blast off a wildly ineffective Dakota Hudson in the third to give Washington a 5-0 lead. That’s his sixth homer of the season while the swipe puts him into double digits with 10 thus far in 2024. It’s been a solid — if unspectacular — first half thus far for Garcia Jr. Rotoworld Today, 8:42 pm
     
  • Jahmai Jones triples and scores for Yankees
    Jahmai Jones went 1-for-3 with a triple, walk, and run scored Friday against the Braves.

    Advice: The Yankees’ offense was held to just one run and three hits in this one as Chris Sale and the Braves’ bullpen shut them down. Jones was the lone bright spot in just his fourth start of the season. It’s unlikely he earns a legitimate role but could get a handful more spot starts as long as Gleyber Torres remains out with a groin injury. Rotoworld Today, 7:27 pm

  • Four hits, three RBI in win
    Iglesias went 4-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored in Friday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Iglesias was active early, singling and scoring a run in the second inning, hitting an RBI single in the third and adding a two-run single in the fourth. He later added another base hit in the seventh. Iglesias has gone an impressive 14-for-32 with six RBI and five runs scored in his return to the majors while primarily starting at second base against left-handed pitchers.

  • Late addition to Friday's lineup
    Stefanic is starting at second base and batting eighth in Friday's game against the Dodgers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Stefanic was inserted into Friday's lineup after Brandon Drury was scratched due to an illness. Since being recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake on June 8, Stefanic has played in seven major-league games, going 6-for-22 with four RBI. Rotowire.com Today, 4:58 pm
     
  • Hits 10-day IL
    Amador (oblique) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Amador suffered a right oblique strain in Thursday's game against the Dodgers, a injury similar to one he sustained earlier in the season at Double-A Hartford. Considering Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) is healthy and Amador put up a .394 OPS in 10 big-league games, the 21-year-old doesn't have a clear path to at-bats in Colorado. Rotowire.com Today, 3:26 pm

  • Officially activated
    Rodgers (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.

    Advice: Rodgers is officially back on the Rockies' active roster after missing exactly two weeks of action. While he isn't in the lineup for Friday's contest, he should be expected to take over second base duties from Alan Trejo this weekend. Rotowire.com Today, 3:22 pm
     
  • Sitting against southpaw
    Biggio isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Biggio has been platooning with righty Enrique Hernandez at third base since being acquired by the Dodgers. With lefty Patrick Sandoval on the mound for the Angels, it will be Hernandez who fills the hot corner Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 3:13 pm

  • Not facing lefty
    Lux is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: With the Dodgers facing a lefty for the second straight night, Lux will once again be held from the starting lineup. Instead, Chris Taylor will bat eighth and play second base. Rotowire.com Today, 3:10 pm
