  • Hitless in return
    Stephenson went 0-for-3 in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: Stephenson missed the last four games while dealing with a hand injury resulting from a hit-by-pitch last Saturday. He had been available off the bench if needed. Rotowire.com Today, 6:12 am
     
  • Perfect day at dish
    Contreras went 3-for-3 with a double, two runs scored and a walk in Friday's win over the White Sox.

    Advice: Contreras scored runs in the first and fifth innings, both coming via Nolan Arenado doubles. Since his last multi-hit game April 17, Contreras was stuck in a 9-for-43 (.209) slump in 12 games. Despite the streakiness, he still owns a strong .281/.395/.531 slash line through 114 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:52 pm
     
  • Willson Contreras reaches four times vs. White Sox
    Willson Contreras went 3-for-3 and scored two runs with a stolen base against the White Sox on Friday.

    Advice: Contreras also drew a walk. The 31-year-old is off to a much better start than the one he had in his first year with the Cardinals, as the four-reach game sees his line improve to .281/.395/.631 over 96 at-bats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:58 pm
     
  • Salvador Perez hits three-run homer in victory
    Salvador Perez hit a three-run homer in the Royals’ 7-1 victory over the Rangers on Friday.

    Advice: Perez broke the game open with his three-run homer, as it came with the Royals leading 4-1 in an inning where Kansas City put up a six-spot. The 33-year-old catcher has already gone deep eight times in 2024, and the three runs driven in bump that total to 30. The suggestion that Perez was done being a strong fantasy option behind the plate may have been greatly exaggerated. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:11 pm
     
  • Exits with blurred vision
    Bailey was removed from Friday's game against the Phillies due to blurred vision, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Bailey was struck in the face mask by a foul tip off the bat of Alec Bohm during the first inning of Friday's contest and was later replaced by Tom Murphy in the second frame. The Giants are still in the process of evaluating Bailey, but an update on his status may be available after the game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:38 pm
     
  • Patrick Bailey leaves game due to blurred vision
    Patrick Bailey was pulled from Friday night’s ballgame against the Phillies due to blurred vision.

    Advice: Bailey took a foul ball off the face mask during Alec Bohm’s at-bat in the first inning. He’ll presumably go through the full concussion protocol now just to make sure that everything checks out alright. It’s likely that the Giants will need to do some maneuvering on their roster to get an extra catcher in there on Saturday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:35 pm
     
  • Patrick Bailey leaves game with apparent injury
    Patrick Bailey was removed from Friday night’s battle against the Phillies in the second inning due to an apparent injury.

    Advice: It’s not immediately clear what happened, but Bailey took a hard foul ball off of his face mask during the first inning and it could be related. Expect the Giants to provide an update on his status as soon as one becomes available. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:58 pm
     
  • Exits Friday's game
    Bailey (foot) left in the second inning of Friday's game against the Phillies, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Bailey took a foul ball to his foot in the first inning. He remained in the game but was replaced in the top of the second inning by Tom Murphy. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:37 pm
     
  • Hitting off tee
    Murphy (oblique) began hitting off the tee during Atlanta's most recent series against Seattle earlier this week, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Advice: It's the first time Murphy has swung the bat since landing on the 10-day IL on March 30 with a Grade 1 left oblique strain. Prior to the series in Seattle, Murphy was limited to light throwing and catching work in the bullpen. The 29-year-old has taken a positive step in his program, but he still has a ways to go before starting a rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:53 pm
