  • Bo Bichette collects two hits in loss to Tigers
    Bo Bichette went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles as the Blue Jays fell to the Tigers at Comerica Park.

    Advice: The Jays weren’t able to get anything going against Kenta Maeda in the ballgame and didn’t push a run across until there were two outs in the ninth inning. The 26-year-old shortstop’s bat has perked up in recent weeks and he’s now hitting .249/.301/.359 with three homers, 20 RBI and four stolen bases on the year. Rotoworld 14 minutes ago
     
  • J.P. Crawford homers in loss
    J.P. Crawford went 2-for-4 with a solo home run on Friday in a loss to the Nationals.

    Advice: Crawford’s lead-off homer was the extent of the Mariners’ offense on Friday night as they were shut down by MacKenzie Gore. The homer was just his third of the season and every passing day makes the 19 home runs he hit last season look like a mirage. Rotoworld 26 minutes ago
     
  • Keibert Ruiz goes 2-for-3, homers
    Keibert Ruiz went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run on Friday in a win over the Mariners.

    Advice: The homer was a welcome sight for Ruiz who’s carrying a puny .477 OPS into Memorial Day weekend. Perhaps this starts a power surge as the weather starts to warm in Washington, but he’s been very disappointing to this point in 2024. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
     
  • Exits with back tightness
    Massey was removed from Friday's game against the Rays due to lower-back tightness, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.

    Advice: The severity of Massey's injury is unclear, but the Royals will take a closer look at him and should provide an update on his status following Friday's game. The 26-year-old infielder had gone 2-for-3 with a three-run home run prior to being removed. Rotowire.com 38 minutes ago
     
  • Trea Turner (hamstring) hits in cage on Friday
    Trea Turner (hamstring) hit in the batting cage, took ground balls and did some short sprints on the field on Friday without any issues.

    Advice: He’s scheduled to face live pitching on Saturday and do some more intense running to test out his injured hamstring. He appears to be making quicker progress in his recovery than his initial timeline and is inching closer to a minor league rehab assignment. Rotoworld 40 minutes ago

  • Bryce Harper ejected for arguing balls and strikes
    Bryce Harper was ejected from Friday’s game against the Rockies in the first inning after arguing balls and strikes.

    Advice: Harper went down swinging on three pitches in his first at-bat against Ty Blach and took exception to the second pitch that was called a strike. He’ll catch the rest of Friday’s game from the clubhouse. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago
