    • Getting breather
      Ruiz is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Colorado.

      Advice: Ruiz will be spelled by Drew Millas on Friday after catching four straight games. Ruiz is slashing .198/.231/.289 with four homers in 199 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Today, 3:18 pm
       
    • CJ Abrams (wrist) returns to Nationals’ lineup
      CJ Abrams (wrist) returned to the Nationals’ starting lineup on Friday night.

      Advice: The 23-year-old shortstop had missed the team’s previous two games due to a Ganglion cyst near his left wrist. He feels good enough to give it a go on Friday night though and will return to his customary leadoff spot in the lineup against Dakota Hudson and the Rockies at Coors Field on Friday evening.

    • Crushed for 10 runs in second loss
      Imanaga (7-2) took the loss to the Mets on Friday, allowing 10 runs on 11 eleven hits and one walk with three strikeouts over three innings.

      Advice: Imanaga was hit hard early and often, surrendering six runs on three home runs in the first two innings and another run in the third. He was unable to record an out in the fourth frame and was charged with three more runs, resulting in the worst outing of his major-league career. In total, Imanaga allowed 11 hard-hit balls, as the velocity on each of his pitches was at least one mph below his season averages. Imanaga's ERA rose from 1.89 to 2.96 with a 1.10 WHIP and 81:12 K:BB over 79 innings. He'll look to rebound in a tentative matchup with the Giants next week. Rotowire.com Today, 3:10 pm
       
    • Says he's good to go
      Abrams (wrist) said that he's "good to go" for Friday's game against the Rockies, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports

      Advice: Abrams was scratched from Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks and missed Thursday's game before an MRI revealed he was dealing with a cyst in his left wrist. However, he'll be back in action for Friday's matchup with the Rockies. Rotowire.com Today, 3:05 pm

    • Zac Gallen to throw another sim game on Monday
      Zac Gallen (hamstring) is expected to throw around 70 pitches in another simulated game on Monday.

      Advice: Assuming all goes well with that session, the expectation is that he’ll rejoin the Diamondbacks’ rotation next weekend against the Athletics. The 28-year-old hurler had posted a 3.12 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and a 60/15 K/BB ratio over 57 2/3 innings through his first 11 starts. Rotoworld Today, 3:03 pm

    • Idle Friday
      Kepler (neck) isn't part of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Kepler was removed from Thursday's game with neck spasms and isn't expected to hit the injured list, but he'll still be held out of Friday's contest. Instead, Manuel Margo will bat seventh and play right field for Friday's series opener. Rotowire.com Today, 2:53 pm

    • Shota Imanaga gives up 10 runs, 11 hits to Mets
      Shota Imanaga was tagged for 10 runs and 11 hits in 3 1/3 innings by the Mets on Friday.

      Advice: With his velocity down 1-2 mph on all of his pitches, Imanaga was crushed today, giving up three homers and 11 hard-hit balls in all. He was effective in his previous two starts, but this makes three out of five outings in which he’s struggled; he’s allowed 21 earned runs in those five outings after giving up a total of five in his first nine starts. The velocity is something to watch; he’s been really effective throwing at 92 mph at the top of the zone, but 90 mph might not get it done there. Rotoworld Today, 2:36 pm
       
    • Max Kepler (neck) remains out of lineup on Friday
      Max Kepler (neck) remains out of the Twins’ starting lineup for Friday night’s tilt against the Athletics in Oakland.

      Advice: Kepler was pulled from Thursday’s contest due to neck spasms. He isn’t expected to require a trip to the injured list, but with southpaws on tap for Saturday and Sunday, it’s unlikely that we see Kepler return to the Twins’ lineup until early next week. Manuel Margot will start in right field on Friday night and will bat seventh against Joey Estes and the A’s. Rotoworld Today, 2:29 pm

    • Lifts 12th homer
      Witt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Athletics.

      Advice: Witt provided the Royals' margin of victory with his eighth-inning blast. He's had an incredible June, hitting safely in 16 of 17 games. He's batting .347 with a .937 OPS, three home runs and five steals this month. That's even a little better than his season-long .322/.371/.550 slash line with 12 homers, 21 steals, 53 RBI and 60 runs scored through 76 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 10:13 am
