  • Phillies acquire Kennedy, option him to Triple-A
    Phillies acquired INF Buddy Kennedy from the Tigers for cash considerations.

    Advice: Kennedy was traded one day after clearing waivers and being sent outright to Triple-A. Now he’ll be in Triple-A Lehigh Valley with the Phillies organization. Kennedy will serve as infield depth and take the recently suspended Jose Rodriguez’ spot on the 40-man roster. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
     
  • Traded to Phillies
    The Phillies acquired Kennedy from the Tigers on Friday in exchange for cash considerations and optioned him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

    Advice: The official transactions log on MLB.com had listed Kennedy as having been outrighted by the Tigers after clearing waivers, but that was erroneous and has since been deleted. Instead, he's headed to Lehigh Valley, where he will give the Phillies some infield depth. Kennedy has slashed .205/.294/.316 in 46 games over parts of three seasons in the majors.

  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    The Tigers outrighted Kennedy to Triple-A Toledo on Thursday after he cleared waivers.

    Advice: Kennedy could elect free agency if he wants, but it's not clear at this point whether he will do so. If he doesn't he'll join Toledo where he will represent infield depth for the Tigers. Rotowire.com Today, 7:55 am
     
  • Slow start in rearview mirror
    Amador has homered in three straight games and is slashing .333/.422/.741 with seven home runs and seven steals in his last 13 games for Double-A Hartford.

    Advice: The prized second baseman slashed .135/.309/.144 with one extra-base hit in his first 32 games of the season, so his overall season stats aren't spectacular, but Amador is beginning to show the type of update that his dynasty managers were expecting. Amador is also a threat on the bases, having stolen 22 bags on 25 attempts in 45 games. He should be Ezequiel Tovar's double-play partner in Colorado for most, if not all, of 2025.

  • Keeps mashing
    Gonzales went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 11-7 loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: The second baseman launched his fourth homer of the season in the third inning, plating Oneil Cruz with a long ball off Walker Buehler.

  • Homers, steals bag
    Crus went 2-for-3 with a three-run home run, a stolen base and an additional run scored during Thursday's 11-7 loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: Cruz took Evan Phillips yard in the eighth inning for a three-run shot, his first home run in 15 games. While 2024 hasn't been the breakout season that fantasy managers may have expected for the talented shortstop, Cruz has eight homers, 13 doubles and five stolen bases through 229 plate appearances.

Prior to Thursday's outburst, Betts had gone 1-for-24 (.042) across six games. Despite the minor cold spell, he owns the ninth-best OPS in MLB at .923 with 10 homers and nine stolen bases.

    Guerrero went 2-for-3 with a walk and a three-run home run in Thursday's win over the Orioles.

    Advice: The first baseman opened the scoring by launching a cutter from Cade Povich over the right-field fence in the third inning.
