  • Stays hot Friday
    Rosario went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: The 32-year-old got the start in left field and continued a sudden hot streak that has seen Rosario rack up eight hits in the last five games with two homers, three steals, four RBI and eight runs. That surge comes on the heels of an 0-for-27 slump though, and on the season he has a .159/.219/.295 slash line. Rosario still has a big hole to climb out of, and with Victor Robles healthy again, the competition for outfield/DH at-bats with the Nats has gotten even more crowded.

  • Dealing with back soreness
    Schwarber left in the ninth inning of Friday's 8-2 win over the Marlins due to a sore back, per MLB.com.

    Advice: Schwarber's back tightened on his last swing in the seventh inning, and Kody Clemens came in to pinch hit in the ninth frame. Schwarber noted that he'll "probably take [Saturday] off...hopefully I'll wake up [Saturday] feeling better, and we'll keep going." The 31-year-old went 2-for-5 with a two-run single in the fourth inning in Friday's win. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Two hits in return to lineup
    Robles went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 5-1 win over the Red Sox.

    Advice: Getting the start in right field and batting ninth in his first MLB action in over a month, Robles showed that he was fully recovered from his hamstring injury by stealing his third bag of the season. Jacob Young has grabbed hold of the starting job in center field in Robles' absence however, and with prospects like James Wood banging on the door for a promotion, it's tough to see a path to consistent at-bats for Robles now that he's back.

  • Provides offense Friday
    Vierling went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Vierling's third-inning double put Detroit up 2-0, but the Tigers stagnated from there. The 27-year-old got the start at third base in this one, which is where he's seen most of his time lately with Gio Urshela (hamstring) on the injured list. Urshela recently began a rehab assignment, however, and his eventual return could push Vierling back to more of a utility role. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Nabs second steal
    Berti went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in a 2-0 victory versus the Rays on Friday.

    Advice: Berti started at third base and batted out of the No. 9 hole, and he was one of four Yankees with multiple hits in the victory. It was his third start in six games since returning from the injured list May 4, as Oswaldo Cabrera continues to get ample playing time at the hot corner. Berti has hit well since coming off the IL, going 5-for-11 with two runs, an RBI and two stolen bases. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago

  • Supplies only offense in loss
    Kiner-Falefa went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.

    Advice: The utility infielder popped a solo shot off Joe Ryan in the third inning and brought home Bo Bichette with a ninth-inning single, but the rest of the Blue Jays' offense was quiet on the night. Kiner-Falefa is batting .379 (11-for-29) over the last nine games as he fills a nearly everyday role while bouncing between second base and third base, but Friday's homer was just his second of the season, and his first extra-base since April 19.

  • Productive in Friday's win
    Happ went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-2 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: Happ is off to a bit of a slow start this season, as he's batting just .231 overall with a .661 OPS, but he's been better in May. The outfielder is batting .281 this month with a .707 OPS. What's keeping him from really taking off is a lack of power. Happ is still stuck on just one home run through 36 games after clubbing 21 long balls last year. His fantasy value will remain capped until he starts driving the baseball a bit more.

  • Seeking opinions on MRI
    Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Thomas (hamstring) will seek a second and third opinion on his MRI results, Steve Gilbert of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Thomas underwent an MRI earlier this week after feeling discomfort during a rehab game Sunday. The next steps for the outfielder should be determined after additional doctors weigh in. Rotowire.com Today, 5:35 am
     
  • Takes batting practice
    Bryant (back) took batting practice prior to Friday's game against the Rangers, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Bryant began the session cautiously, just getting the ball out of the infield. However, he was able to pull the ball over the fence by his final swings, a positive sign for his recovery. There hasn't been a date set yet, but Bryant is expected to begin a rehab assignment soon. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:58 pm
