  • Patrick Corbin solid over six innings
    Patrick Corbin allowed two earned runs across six innings in a loss to the Guardians on Friday. He struck out five and walked three.

    Advice: Corbin is what he is at this point. Sure, he has three quality starts in his last four starts. Then you see his 5.83 and remember what he is. Leave him on the waiver wire. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
     
  • Scratched with sore thumb
    Schanuel was scratched from the Angels' lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Mariners due to left thumb soreness.

    Advice: Schanuel was originally set to start at first base and bat in the leadoff spot Friday, but thumb problems will prevent him from doing so. Willie Calhoun will cover first base in Schanuel's place, moving Matt Thaiss into the DH spot while batting seventh. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Nolan Schanuel scratched Friday with sore thumb
    Nolan Schanuel was scratched from the Angels’ starting lineup on Friday night due to a sore left thumb.

    Advice: No word yet on the extent of the injury, but since he was in the initial lineup it’s unlikely to be too serious. Willie Calhoun will cover first base in his absence while Matt Thaiss will enter the lineup as the team’s designated hitter against Bryan Woo and the Mariners on Friday night.

  • Edmundo Sosa powers Phillies past Cardinals
    Edmundo Sosa clobbered a two-run homer on Friday night, powering the Phillies to a 4-2 victory over the visiting Cardinals.

    Advice: The 28-year-old shortstop capped off a three-run rally in the second inning with his mammoth 439-foot (110.0 mph EV) two-run blast on the first pitch that he saw from Miles Mikolas. That would be his only hit in three at-bats on the night. Sosa has been swinging a very hot stick for the Phillies — slashing .307/.378/.591 with four long balls and 15 RBI in his first 99 plate appearances. Rotoworld Today, 5:58 pm

He then smacked a one-out double in the seventh inning and raced around to score on a two-out single by Johan Rojas.

  • Jeff Hoffman slams door on Cardinals on Friday
    Jeff Hoffman slammed the door on the Cardinals in the ninth inning on Friday night, protecting a two-run lead to earn his fifth save of the season.

    Advice: The 31-year-old hurler came on with a two-run advantage to protect against the heart of the Cardinals’ lineup. He made it look easy, getting Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Gorman on swinging third strikes before retiring Nolan Arenado on a fly ball to right to end it. Hoffman has been outstanding out of the Phillies’ bullpen this season, posting a 1.09 ERA and a 32/7 K/BB ratio over 24 2/3 innings of work. Rotoworld Today, 5:58 pm
     
  • Aaron Nola defeats Cardinals to improve to 7-2
    Aaron Nola picked up his seventh victory of the season on Friday night, limiting the Cardinals to two runs on three hits over his 6 1/3 innings of work.

    Advice: The 30-year-old right-hander racked up six strikeouts on the evening while issuing two free passes. Both of the runs against him came on solo home runs — one by Brandon Crawford in the third inning and another off the bat of Nolan Arenado in the seventh. Nola generated 10 swings and misses on 96 pitches on the night — six of those on his knuckle curve — while registering a CSW of 30 percent. Now 7-2 on the season, Nola will tote an impressive 3.03 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and a 71/22 K/BB ratio (77 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Brewers. Rotoworld Today, 5:58 pm
