  • Out of lineup Tuesday
    Kelly isn't part of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Kelly will give way to Jake Rogers behind the dish for the fifth time in eight games. Kelly is batting 10-for-33 (.303) with two home runs in June. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:56 am
     
  • Leads offense in loss
    Kelly went 2-for-3 with an RBI in Monday's 8-1 loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Detroit sputtered on the mound and at the plate, but Kelly still had a solid performance. The backstop was making his first appearance in three days, pushing Jake Rogers to the bench in the process. Kelly and Rogers are splitting time behind the plate fairly evenly so far this season, though Kelly has been the better offensive option overall with a .711 OPS, compared to just .603 for Rogers. The latter has the slight edge in home runs, however, five to four. Rotowire.com Monday, 8:09 pm
     
  • Drawing start at DH on Monday
    Fry (elbow) will start at designated hitter and bat fifth in Monday's game against the Orioles.

    Advice: Fry's status heading into the series opener in Baltimore was somewhat murky after he was forced out of Sunday's 6-5 win over Toronto with right elbow inflammation, but the 29-year-old is apparently feeling well enough to stick in the lineup Monday in a non-defensive role. Once the elbow issue fully subsides, expect Fry to mix in behind the plate and in the corner outfield along with at DH as the Guardians make a concerted effort to keep his productive bat in the lineup.

  • Logs first multi-hit game
    Rice went 2-for-3 in Sunday's loss to Atlanta.

    Advice: Rice was one of two Yankees with multiple hits in the contest, and it was the first multi-hit effort of his career. The 25-year-old started at first base for the fifth time in six contests since being called up, and three of those games have been against left-handed starters, against whom he's gone just 1-for-9. Rice has otherwise held his own overall in going 5-for-17 with a 3:3 BB:K, but he'll likely begin yielding some starts against southpaws to J.D. Davis, whom the Yankees acquired Sunday.

  • David Fry (elbow) considered day-to-day
    David Fry is considered day-to-day after exiting Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays with inflammation in his right elbow.

    Advice: It sounds like it’s just a minor issue and the 28-year-old slugger won’t require a trip to the injured list. While his pace has cooled over the last few weeks, Fry has still been a force in the middle of the Guardians’ lineup this season — slashing .312/.429/.526 with eight homers, 31 RBI and four stolen bases in only 189 plate appearances.

  • Ben Rice with two hits in loss
    Ben Rice went 2-for-3 on Sunday against the Braves.

    Advice: Rice has been totally fine in his first week of play with a .294 average and the same number of walks as strikeouts. He’s yet to find his first extra-base hit yet but does not seem over-matched by major league pitching. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:07 pm
     
  • Battling elbow inflammation
    Fry was removed from Sunday's game against Toronto due to right elbow inflammation, Zack Meisel of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Fry delivered an RBI single during the first inning of Sunday's contest before being replaced behind the plate by Bo Naylor in the third. The Guardians are currently viewing Fry as day-to-day, though he will likely undergo further testing to determine the extent of his injury. Rotowire.com Sunday, 12:16 pm

  • David Fry leaves game with elbow inflammation
    David Fry was removed from Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays due to right elbow inflammation.

    Advice: The positive news here is that Fry’s early exit isn’t related to a possible head injury or concussion. The bad news is that he’s probably going to be sent for some further evaluation and imaging to determine the extent of the issue. The 28-year-old backstop has been an unexpected revelation this season for fantasy managers, so the hope here is that his exit was merely for precautionary reasons. He’s presumably day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Sunday, 12:09 pm

  • David Fry leaves game Sunday with possible injury
    David Fry made an early exit from Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays with a potential injury.

    Advice: MLB.com’s Henry Palattella adds that Fry was apparently struck in the head by a practice swing from Danny Jansen in the opening frame, so it’s highly likely he’s been lifted from the contest for precautinary reasons to undergo testing for a possible concussion. There should be an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Sunday, 11:34 am
