  • Drew Millas homers, reaches four times in rout
    Drew Millas went 3-for-4 with a homer in a victory over the Rockies on Friday.

    Advice: A rare big day at the plate for Millas, but this is an exception on a night where the Nationals picked up 19 hits against the horrific Colorado pitching staff. Even with the strong game, he’s still slashing .217/.280/.391 and doesn’t belong anywhere near a fantasy roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:41 pm
     
  • Homers in win
    Kelly went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a 2-1 win over the White Sox on Friday.

    Advice: Kelly's two-run home run off Erick Fedde in the second inning was the difference in the game, as the Tigers pitchers limited the White Sox to just one run. The homer was Kelly's second in four games, and he has registered a solid .267/.353/.500 slash in nine June contests. On the season, Kelly is slashing .238/.324/.373 with four home runs and 17 RBI over 142 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:33 pm
     
  • Carson Kelly powers Tigers past White Sox on Friday
    Carson Kelly walloped a two-run homer off of Erick Fedde in the second inning, powering the Tigers to a 2-1 victory over the White Sox in the opening game of their three-game set at Comerica Park.

    Advice: Justyn-Henry Malloy had set the stage with a double into the gap in left-center, then Kelly followed with a 412-foot (103.9 mph EV) blast to left field that gave the Tigers an early 2-0 lead that they would never relinquish. That was the last good swing that the Tigers would have against Erick Fedde and company in the ballgame, but proved to be just enough. Kelly finished the night 1-for-3 and is now slashing .238/.324/.373 with four homers and seven RBI on the year. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:56 pm
     
  • Luis Campusano (thumb) considered day-to-day
    Luis Campusano was scratched from the Padres’ starting lineup on Friday night due to a left thumb contusion.

    Advice: Fortunately, the injury isn’t believed to be serious, and the 25-year-old backstop is considered day-to-day. Kyle Higashioka is starting in his place behind the dish on Friday night and will carry the load until Campusano is ready to return. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:58 pm
     
  • Scratched due to left thumb injury
    Campusano (thumb) has been scratched from Friday's lineup against the Brewers, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Campusano was initially slated to start behind home plate and bat eighth, but manager Mike Shildt said the catcher was scratched due to "soreness and bruising" in his left thumb, and it's unclear whether a stint on the IL is needed. Kyle Higashioka will instead start at catcher and bat ninth against Brewers right-hander Colin Rea. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:36 pm

  • Day-to-day with undisclosed injury
    Reds manager David Bell said Friday that Stephenson is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, Chris Renkel of Local 12 in Cincinnati reports.

    Advice: Stephenson caught on Monday and served as the team's designated hitter Tuesday but has now missed two straight starts sandwiched around Thursday's team off day. It's not clear exactly what Stephenson is dealing with, but the Reds brought up Austin Wynns as protection at catcher. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:56 pm
