    • Astros activate Framber Valdez for Sunday return
      Astros activated LHP Framber Valdez from the 15-day injured list.

      Advice: It’s merely a procedural move as Valdez was set to rejoin Houston’s starting rotation to take the ball during Sunday’s series finale in Mexico City against the Rockies. The combination of some likely have some workload restrictions and Mexico City’s extremely hitter-friendly offensive environment make him a risky proposition for fantasy managers right out of the gate.

    • Wins in scoreless outing
      Leclerc (2-2) earned the win Friday, striking out two over a scoreless eighth inning against Cincinnati.

      Advice: Leclerc, who earlier this season lost the closer's job, has reclaimed the confidence of manager Bruce Bochy. Friday's outing was his fifth consecutive scoreless appearance with the last three coming in the eighth inning of games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:22 am
       
    • Mashes fifth homer
      Semien went 1-for-4 with a solo home run during Friday's victory over the Reds.

      Advice: Semien's eighth-inning homer broke the tie in a game that had been deadlocked at 1-1 since the second frame, and it ended up being all that was needed to lift Texas over the Reds in Friday's low-scoring affair. The 33-year-old has now reached the 20-RBI mark in just 27 games, though he's gone just 4-for-25 with two RBI across his last six contests. Rotowire.com Today, 6:22 am
       
    • Goes deep in win
      Carter went 2-for-3 with a home run during Friday's 2-1 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Carter took Graham Ashcraft deep in the second inning to tie the game at 1-1, and his fourth-inning single gave him his third multi-hit performance in his last five games. In that span, the 21-year-old outfielder is 6-for-18 with three homers and four RBI, though he has also struck out seven times. Rotowire.com Today, 6:21 am

    • Marcus Semien homers in eighth to lead Rangers
      Marcus Semien hit his fifth homer Friday as the Rangers bested the Reds 2-1.

      Advice: Semien nearly had two homers, but his 410-foot drive to center in the fifth, which Statcast said would have been gone in 18 parks, was caught at the wall. The actual homer was hit 392 feet and broke a 1-1 tie in the eighth. It gave hm 19 runs scored and 20 RBI in 27 games, even though it doesn’t seem like either he or the Rangers offense as a whole has really caught fire yet. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:22 pm
       
    • Expected back Saturday
      Lowe (oblique) is expected to be activated from the injured list Saturday, Adam Berry of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Lowe has been on a rehab assignment for roughly a week, but he was with the big-league club in Chicago on Friday. He's projected to be activated Saturday to make his season debut and will almost certainly occupy a prominent spot in a struggling Rays' lineup. It will also be notable where Lowe plays defensively, as he started three games in center field during his rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:55 pm
       
    • Coughs up four homers
      Musgrove (3-3) allowed seven runs on eight hits and two walks over 3.2 innings Friday, striking out four and taking a loss against the Phillies.

      Advice: Musgrove was cursed by the long ball Friday. He gave up a leadoff shot to Kyle Schwarber to begin the game before Philadelphia crushed three more homers during a four-run third inning. Musgrove is still searching for some consistency and his ERA has shot up to 6.94 through seven starts (35 innings). While he's struck out more than five batters just one time in 2024, he set a new season best by forcing 15 whiffs Friday, including seven with the slider. Musgrove will carry a lackluster 27:13 K:BB into his next outing, which is projected to come at home against the Reds. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:30 pm
       
    • Joe Musgrove shelled over 3 2/3 in loss to PHI
      Joe Musgrove gave up seven runs in 3 2/3 innings in a loss to the Phillies on Friday.

      Advice: Giving up eight hits while not getting out of the fourth inning. Giving up four homers in that time is worse. Musgrove simply didn’t have it Friday night against the loaded Philadelphia lineup, and a starter who had been just so-so coming into the outing was much worse than that. Musgrove will work on lowering his 6.94 ERA against the Reds on Wednesday. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:28 pm
       
    • Carlos Correa (intercostal) takes grounders Friday
      Carlos Correa (intercostal) took ground balls on the field prior to Friday’s game against the Angels.

      Advice: Twins’ manager Rocco Baldelli told reporters earlier in the week that Correa was close to resuming baseball activities, and it’s encouraging to see him back out on the field. The Twins are going to continue to play it cautiously here, but it’s nice to see him taking steps in the right direction. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:31 pm
