  • Ryan Bliss goes 3-for-3 versus Marlins
    Ryan Bliss had half of the Mariners’ hits Friday, finishing 3-for-3 with an RBI against the Marlins.

    Advice: Bliss’s .238/.319/.381 line through 49 plate appearances isn’t particularly remarkable, but that’s actually an above average OPS+ for a Seattle hitter in 2024. He’s going to have a case for sticking around after Jorge Polanco returns, which could happen this weekend. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago

  • Cal Raleigh slips below Mendoza Line in loss
    Cal Raleigh went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts against the Marlins on Friday.

    Advice: Raleigh often seems to come up with the big hit, but the little hit has been a problem this year, as he’s batted just .198/.276/.380 in 272 plate appearances. The Mariners aren’t going to change much about his usage, but maybe they’ll give him the occasional extra day off and roll with Mitch Garver behind the plate. Rotoworld 47 minutes ago
     
  • Hobbled Jurickson Profar pulled for pinch-runner
    Jurickson Profar was lifted for a pinch-runner in the seventh inning Friday against the Brewers.

    Advice: This probably wasn’t a move the Padres would have made unless Profar’s knee was acting up again. José Azocar ran for him in the game against the Brewers. Rotoworld Today, 9:36 pm
     
  • Fernando Tatis Jr. day-to-day with triceps contusion
    Fernando Tatis Jr. is day-to-day with a left triceps contusion, the Padres announced.

    Advice: Tatis left Friday’s game after he was in the elbow by a pitch. If he can’t play Saturday, then José Azocar will probably play right field. Rotoworld Today, 9:32 pm
     
  • Headed for injured list
    Toro suffered a strained hamstring Friday and will be placed on the injured list, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Toro was held out of the lineup earlier in the week with a shoulder issue and returned to the lineup Friday. He suffered an unrelated hamstring injury and will now be sidelined for at least the next 10 days. Tyler Nevin and Aledmys Diaz figure to see increased playing time. Rotowire.com Today, 9:27 pm

  • May have aggravated knee issue
    Profar (knee) was removed for a pinch runner in the seventh inning of Friday's game against the Brewers, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Profar dealt with a knee injury earlier in June, and he didn't appear to be running at full strength to begin Friday's game. He was pulled six frames later, though the Padres could have been giving some additional maintenance time as a precaution. Rotowire.com Today, 9:19 pm
     
  • Dealing with contusion
    Tatis left Friday's game with a left triceps contusion, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Tatis exited the game two innings after being hit by a pitch in his arm. He appears to have avoided serious injury, though it's unclear whether imaging has already occurred -- if required. Rotowire.com Today, 9:15 pm
     
  • Shea Langeliers hits go-ahead homer in eighth
    Shea Langeliers hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth to give the Athletics a 6-5 win over the Twins on Friday.

    Advice: With the A’s trailing 5-4, Langeliers took Jhoan Duran deep to give Oakland a 6-5 lead and ultimately the victory. He drove in another run with a single to center in the fifth. Langeliers shows the potential to be a long-term catching option for fantasy teams, but his .207 average makes him a tough sell in one-catcher formats. Rotoworld Today, 9:09 pm
     
  • Royce Lewis hits 10th homer in 16th game
    Royce Lewis homered and went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in a loss to the Athletics on Friday.

    Advice: Incredible. That’s Lewis’s 10th homer of the season, and it comes in just the 10th game of the season for the 25-year-old. He didn’t pick up any other hits and struck out twice, but it’s hard to care. What Lewis is doing right now is spectacular. Rotoworld Today, 9:09 pm
