  • Michael Harris II hits IL with hamstring strain
    Braves placed OF Michael Harris II on the 10-day injured list with a left hamstring strain.

    Advice: No word yet on the severity of the injury, but fantasy managers should anticipate Harris missing at least a couple weeks, even in a best-case scenario. The 23-year-old upper-echelon fantasy contributor, who hits the shelf with a .653 OPS with five homers and eight steals across 278 plate appearances through 67 contests, suffered the injury during the opening frame of Friday’s contest against the Rays while running the bases. There should be some clarity on his return timeline in the coming days. Rotoworld 27 minutes ago
     
  • Stuck in small-side platoon
    Rosario went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Friday against Atlanta.

    Advice: With both Brandon Lowe and Taylor Walls back healthy, Rosario has found his playing time nearly exclusively against lefties. He's hit well in the role, maintaining a .393 average with three RBI and four runs scored across his last 10 games, but he's started only one of the Rays' last six matchups against righties.

  • Swats sixth homer
    Brennan went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The 26-year-old took Kevin Gausman deep in the fourth inning for what proved to be the game-winning run. Brennan snapped a 16-game extra-base hit drought with the performance, and Friday's long ball gave him a new career high with six on the season after he slugged five in 138 games last year. On the season, Brennan is slashing .237/.299/.384 as a strong-side platoon option in the Guardians' outfield. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Bright spot in loss
    Kelly struck out three over two hitless and scoreless innings in Friday's 8-1 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Kelly was the one of the good things to come out of Friday's loss. He's a pitcher that manager Alex Cora can rely on in multiple situations. "He can go multiple innings, and I think he starts with strike throwing," Cora told Sarah Barber of The Boston Globe. "Strike throwing, I think that's the most important thing." Since his return from Triple-A Worcester, the right-hander has allowed one run, no hits and three walks while striking out 10. Walks could be an issue. Although he's better about that since his return, Kelly has walked 5.1 batters per nine innings this season. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago
     
  • Collects seventh win
    Allen (7-3) picked up the win Friday, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over five-plus innings in a 3-1 victory over the Blue Jays. He struck out three.

    Advice: The lefty wasn't exactly efficient, tossing 47 of 84 pitches for strikes, but he blanked Toronto for five frames before back-to-back hits to lead off the sixth brought home Toronto's only run and chased Allen from the game. The 25-year-old has given up three runs or less in five of his last six outings, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 24:12 K:BB in 30.1 innings over that stretch. He'll look to build on this performance in his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Mariners. Rotowire.com 42 minutes ago
     
  • Up to second in order
    Doyle went 2-for-5 Friday against the Pirates.

    Advice: Doyle has been productive across his last eight games, collecting nine hits across 32 at-bats while scoring five runs, driving in five and stealing four bases. He's also hit second in Colorado's lineup in four of the team's last six contests, and he stayed in that position even with Nolan Jones back in the lineup Friday. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • Slugs 15th homer
    Santander went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: His eighth-inning shot off Matt Strahm sent the game to extras, but Baltimore came up short in the end. Santander has been on a tear in June, slashing .273/.333/.636 with six of his 15 homers on the season in 14 games on the month. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago
     
  • Belts first homer of year
    Marchan went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the Orioles.

    Advice: The 25-year-old backstop took Kyle Bradish deep in the fifth inning, giving Marchan his first hit and first long ball with the Phillies this season. He's started two of four games since J.T. Realmuto (knee) was sidelined, and he could split work behind the plate fairly equally with Garrett Stubbs unless one of them seizes the starting job.

  • Anthony Santander smashes game-tying homer
    Anthony Santander went 2-for-5 with a solo home run against the Phillies on Friday.

    Advice: Santander’s eighth inning home run was the first Matt Strahm has allowed all season and just the first run he’s allowed at all since opening day. Then Santander put one to the warning track in the 10th inning which nearly won the game for Baltimore. Also, his first inning single was smoked 114.4 MPH - the hardest he’s ever hit a ball in his career. That’s a great sign for the power hitting switch-hitter moving forward.
