  • Pops fourth homer
    Fry went 3-for-3 with a two-run homer in Friday's win over the Twins.

    Advice: Fry put Cleveland ahead with his 364-foot, two-run home run in the sixth inning off reliever Steven Okert. The 28-year-old utility man has been especially hot since the calendar turned to May, hitting .366 (11-for-30) this month. Over 95 plate appearances this season, Fry is slashing .333/.453/.560 with four homers, 15 runs scored and 14 RBI. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago

  • Nick Fortes goes 3-for-3, homers in win
    Nick Fortes went 3-for-3 with a three-run homer and three runs scored against the Mets on Friday.

    Advice: The home run was just Fortes’ second in what’s been a disastrous start to the season. He’s had some intriguing batted ball metrics in the past, but this was just his second barrel of the season. He’s hard to trust even in two-catcher formats. Rotoworld Today, 6:46 pm
     
  • Mitch Garver returns to Mariners’ lineup Friday
    Mitch Garver (back) returned to the Mariners’ starting lineup on Friday night.

    Advice: The 33-year-old slugger sat out each of the team’s last two games due to back spasms. He’s feeling much improved now though and ready to give it a go. He’ll serve as the team’s designated hitter and bat third against Orioles’ southpaw John Means on Friday evening in Baltimore. Rotoworld Today, 2:49 pm
     
  • Yasmani Grandal knocks in three against Cubs
    Yasmani Grandal went 2-for-5 and knocked in three runs in the rout of the Pirates on Friday.

    Advice: Grandal has started four of the last five games over Joey Bart, so it’s not much of a job share behind the plate for the Pirates right now. Grandal has hit .212/.229/.424 but with nine RBI in 10 games since coming off the injured list. Rotoworld Today, 2:24 pm
     
  • Miguel Amaya hits second homer in loss to Pirates
    Miguel Amaya hit just his second homer of the year in the eighth inning Friday to break up the Pirates’ shutout bid in a Cubs loss.

    Advice: Amaya’s homer projected at 374 feet and would have gone out of 10 ballparks, according to Statcast. In spite of Amaya’s struggles offensively — he’s batting .184/.248/.297 — the Cubs have continued to give him most of the starts behind the plate. Yan Gomes has gotten the nod in just one of the team’s last six games. Rotoworld Today, 2:24 pm
     
  • Back in lineup
    Garver (back) is batting third and is the designated hitter for Friday's game against Baltimore.

    Advice: Garver was scratched Tuesday with back spasms and was forced to miss Wednesday's contest due to the issue. However, he'll be back in action for Friday's series opener against the Orioles. In May, Garver is batting .243 with two homers across 45 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 1:10 pm
     
  • Langeliers back in the lineup Friday
    Shea Langeliers is back in the Athletics lineup, batting fourth against the Royals on Friday.

    Advice: Langeliers had a routine day off on Thursday night against the Astros, but he’s back in the lineup on Friday. His average is just .218, but he has nine home runs and 24 RBI in 133 at-bats this season. Rotoworld Today, 1:01 pm
     
  • Out of starting lineup versus lefty
    Soderstrom is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup against the Royals.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Soderstrom will start from the bench as the Athletics take on lefty Cole Ragans. The 22-year-old has started in six of Oakland's last eight games, though J.D. Davis will take the field at first base Friday. Rotowire.com Today, 12:38 pm
     
  • Getting breather Friday
    Campusano is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Atlanta.

    Advice: Campusano had been behind the plate for the Padres in each of the previous four contests, but he'll begin this one on the bench. Kyle Higashioka will do the catching for knuckleballer Matt Waldron. Rotowire.com Today, 12:37 pm
