    • Shelled for six runs in loss
      Lopez (8-7) took the loss Friday against Houston, allowing six runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out six.

      Advice: Despite not allowing a homer, the Minnesota right-hander managed to yield six or more runs for the fourth time this season. Lopez generated a paltry eight whiffs out of his 91 pitches as Houston was dialed in on his arsenal. The 28-year-old now sports a disappointing 5.18 ERA across 99 innings on the season. He looks to bounce back in his next start, tentatively scheduled to be versus the White Sox in Chicago. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
       
    • Managing groin tightness
      Torres exited Friday's game against the Red Sox due to right groin tightness.

      Advice: Torres suffered a similar injury to his right groin a few weeks ago, and he seems to have aggravated the issue while legging out an infield single during Friday's contest. The Yankees don't have any plans in place to take him in for imaging at the moment, which suggests the team doesn't believe his latest flareup is anything too severe. However, it remains possible the 27-year-old sits out Saturday's contest as a precaution. Rotowire.com Today, 6:45 pm

    • Gleyber Torres leaves game with groin tightness
      Gleyber Torres was pulled from Friday’s contest against the Red Sox in the fourth inning due to right groin tightness.

      Advice: It’s the same injury that has been bothering Torres for a while now, but the Yankees announced that they don’t believe it’s severe enough to require imaging. If that’s the case, it seems unlikely that he’ll require a trip to the injured list. For now, he should be considered day-to-day, but a lot may depend on how he’s feeling when he wakes up on Saturday. Rotoworld Today, 6:29 pm

    • Exits with apparent injury
      Torres was removed from Friday's game versus Boston with an apparent leg injury, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: Torres came up limping after beating out an infield single in the fourth inning, and he was immediately replaced on first base by Oswaldo Cabrera. Torres missed a few games in June due to a groin issue, but the details of his latest injury will come once the Yankees are able to take a closer look at him. Rotowire.com Today, 5:55 pm

    • Gleyber Torres leaves game with apparent injury
      Gleyber Torres was removed from Friday night’s showdown against the Red Sox in the fourth inning due to an apparent injury.

      Advice: Torres hustled out an infield single that loaded the bases in the third inning, but he came up hobbling and had to be pulled from the game. It’s unclear if it’s a recurrence of the groin issue that he has been dealing with, or if he tweaked something in his leg while busting it down the line. Expect the Yankees to provide an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Today, 5:46 pm

    • Remaining on rehab assignment
      Nootbaar (oblique) will remain on his rehab assignment with Double-A Springfield for at least a couple more days to work on his timing at the plate, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: The initial expectation was that Nootbaar would rejoin the Cardinals on the road for their weekend series against the Nationals, but he's evidently not satisfied with his swing and will work to fine-tune things for a bit longer. It now seems likely that Nootbaar will return July 9 when the Cardinals are back home. Rotowire.com Today, 1:41 pm

    • Andrew McCutchen getting a night off on Friday
      Andrew McCutchen is not in the Pirates’ starting lineup for Friday evening’s series opener against the Mets.

      Advice: It sounds like it’s just a regular day of maintenance for the 37-year-old slugger. McCutchen has already appeared in 73 games for the Bucs this season — slashing .229/.329/.396 with 12 homers, 25 RBI and two stolen bases in 316 plate appearances. Bryan Reynolds will function as the Pirates’ designated hitter in his place with Jack Suwinski and Michael A. Taylor each getting starts in the outfield. Rotoworld Today, 1:03 pm
       
    • Taking seat Friday
      McCutchen is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.

      Advice: McCutchen will get his first day off since June 13, handing DH duties over to Bryan Reynolds while Joshua Palacios leads off. McCutchen is 2-for-19 with eight strikeouts over his last five games. However, both hits went for extra bases. Rotowire.com Today, 11:17 am
