  • Swats eighth homer
    Marte went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Orioles.

    Advice: He took Cole Irvin deep in the third inning, giving Marte his eighth homer of the season and third in the last five games. The 30-year-old second baseman also extended his hitting streak to 11 games with the solo shot, but he's batting just .261 (12-for-46) during that stretch as he's managed only one multi-hit performance.

  • Brandon Lowe’s exit ‘precautionary’ Friday at AAA
    Brandon Lowe (oblique) made a precautionary exit from Friday’s minor league rehab game for Triple-A Durham.

    Advice: Lowe appears to be fine, but the Rays didn’t want to take any chances with wet field conditions, which led to the veteran second baseman’s removal after just one at-bat during Friday’s contest. He’s gone 2-for-5 with a grand slam in a pair of rehab contests so far and figures to be ready to return to Tampa Bay’s lineup at some point next week. He’s been on the shelf since early April due to an oblique strain. Rotoworld Today, 5:08 am
     
  • Drives in two
    Gonzales went 1-for-4 with two RBI on Friday against the Cubs.

    Advice: Gonzales was recalled from Triple-A Indianapolis Friday and immediately entered the starting lineup, hitting fifth while starting at second base. He delivered a two-RBI single in the first inning but also struck out twice. Gonzales should have a chance to seize regular playing time as the Pirates continue to try to get their offense on track.

  • 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

  • Continues hitting well
    DeJong went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against the Guardians.

    Advice: DeJong smacked his sixth home run of the season, three of which have come in his last four games. He's performed well in addition to the long balls of late, as he has at least one hit in eight of his last ten starts, and he's also chipped in six RBI and nine runs scored in that span. DeJong has taken over as the White Sox's primary shortstop, and he should continue to get playing time so long as he keeps hitting well. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:55 pm
     
  • Keeps flashing power
    Lee went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored Friday against the Guardians.

    Advice: Lee took Carlos Carrasco deep in the seventh inning to tally his fourth home run of the season, three of which have come in his last 11 games. He's gone 11-for-33 overall in that span, also chipping in five RBI and four runs scored. Lee remains in a near even split for playing time with Martin Maldonado behind the plate.

    Vaughn went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Friday against the Guardians.

    Advice: Vaughn finally popped his first home run of the season when he took Pedro Avila deep in the eighth inning. He entered the game with only eight extra-base hits across 146 plate appearances, all of which were doubles. Overall, Vaughn is hitting just .196/.253/.275 across 150 plate appearances.
