Austin Wells with two hits, RBIAustin Wells went 2-for-4 with a RBI on Friday against the Red Sox.
Advice: Wells does a lot of things well despite a poor slash line. He’s a good defender, patient hitter, and shows some power. Those traits along with a starting job on the Yankees keeps him on the radar in two catcher formats. RotoworldAustin WellsNYY - CL, 2-3 vs CIN -
Nestor Cortes strikes out eight Red SoxNestor Cortes allowed just one run in six innings against the Red Sox on Friday. He struck out eight and walked one in a no-decision.
Advice: Cortes carved the Red Sox up in this one. His fastball and sweeper each induced six swings-and-misses as those two pitches along with his cutter rendered the Sox’s bats powerless. The quality start was Cortes’ ninth of the season as he’s led a fantastic bounce-back campaign. RotoworldNestor CortesNYY - SPL, 2-3 vs CIN -
Allows seven runs in lossSeverino (5-3) took the loss against the Pirates on Friday, allowing seven runs on nine hits and two walks with three strikeouts over six innings.
Advice: Severino surrendered four runs on three homers between the fourth and fifth innings. He was pulled after loading the bases to open the seventh but all three inherited runners scored on a grand slam. Severino yielded nine hard-hit balls Friday and has allowed six long balls and 17 earned runs over his past four outings. On the season, the 30-year-old owns a 3.83 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 77:34 K:BB over 103.1 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Nationals next week.

Managing groin tightnessTorres exited Friday's game against the Red Sox due to right groin tightness.
Advice: Torres suffered a similar injury to his right groin a few weeks ago, and he seems to have aggravated the issue while legging out an infield single during Friday's contest. The Yankees don't have any plans in place to take him in for imaging at the moment, which suggests the team doesn't believe his latest flareup is anything too severe. However, it remains possible the 27-year-old sits out Saturday's contest as a precaution. Rotowire.comGleyber TorresNYY - 2BL, 2-3 vs CIN -
Gleyber Torres leaves game with groin tightnessGleyber Torres was pulled from Friday’s contest against the Red Sox in the fourth inning due to right groin tightness.
Advice: It’s the same injury that has been bothering Torres for a while now, but the Yankees announced that they don’t believe it’s severe enough to require imaging. If that’s the case, it seems unlikely that he’ll require a trip to the injured list. For now, he should be considered day-to-day, but a lot may depend on how he’s feeling when he wakes up on Saturday. RotoworldGleyber TorresNYY - 2BL, 2-3 vs CIN -
Luis Severino lit up for seven runs by PiratesLuis Severino allowed nine hits and seven earned runs in six-plus innings on Friday against the Pirates. He struck out three and walked two in a loss.
Advice: This start from Severino got bad quickly. The Pirates smacked three home runs between the fourth and fifth innings and then he loaded the bases in the sixth before being pulled. Jake Diekman promptly gave up a grand slam to Bryan Reynolds and the rout was on. Still, Severino was not great. He continues to rely heavily on his fastballs, he threw his sinker 54% of the time and four-seam fastball 18% as his two most thrown pitches, and play this pitch-to-contact game. That can work unless the ball leaves the yard like it did on Friday. RotoworldLuis SeverinoNYM - SPL, 5-7 @WSH -
Exits with apparent injuryTorres was removed from Friday's game versus Boston with an apparent leg injury, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.
Advice: Torres came up limping after beating out an infield single in the fourth inning, and he was immediately replaced on first base by Oswaldo Cabrera. Torres missed a few games in June due to a groin issue, but the details of his latest injury will come once the Yankees are able to take a closer look at him.

Gleyber Torres leaves game with apparent injuryGleyber Torres was removed from Friday night’s showdown against the Red Sox in the fourth inning due to an apparent injury.
Advice: Torres hustled out an infield single that loaded the bases in the third inning, but he came up hobbling and had to be pulled from the game. It’s unclear if it’s a recurrence of the groin issue that he has been dealing with, or if he tweaked something in his leg while busting it down the line. Expect the Yankees to provide an update on his status shortly. RotoworldGleyber TorresNYY - 2BL, 2-3 vs CIN -
Snaps slump with three hitsVerdugo went 3-for-4 with two doubles in Thursday's loss to Cincinnati.
Advice: Verdugo entered Thursday in the throes of a 12-game slump during which he went 6-for-47 (.128 average). The outfielder showed positive signs of getting back on track against the Reds, not only collecting three knocks but also producing two extra-base hits -- as many as he had tallied during that entire 12-game downturn. While Verdugo is on pace to set a career high in homers and RBI this season (he has nine long balls and 43 runs batted in through 85 games), his .248 batting average and .305 OBP are both on pace for his lowest marks since his 15-game cup of coffee with the Dodgers in 2017.
