  • Knocks three hits
    Neto went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a run scored and one RBI in Friday's loss to Minnesota.

    Advice: Neto doubled and scored in the sixth inning and later added an RBI single in the bottom of the ninth. After producing just two multi-hit efforts through his first 21 games, the second-year shortstop has collected multiple hits in three of his last four games. He still has plenty of work to do, but his season OPS has jumped from .449 to .646 during this recent hot streak. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:07 pm
     
  • Willi Castro doubles twice as Twins top Angels
    Willi Castro doubled twice while going 3-for-4 in a victory Friday over the Angels.

    Advice: Castro has doubled six times on the year with the pair of two-baggers. The 27-year-old also singled to improve his slash to .221/.307/.377. The versatility is nice, but not nice enough to suggest him as an addition to a fantasy roster. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:43 pm

  • Kevin Newman connects on solo homer in loss
    Kevin Newman hit a solo homer in a loss to the Mariners on Friday.

    Advice: Newman was responsible for the only run for the Diamondbacks with a solo shot in the sixth inning. The 30-year-old is still hitting a lackluster .186/.205/.372, and there just aren’t enough nights like this one to consider him as a viable fantasy option. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:09 pm

  • Brice Turang steals 13th base in win over Yankees
    Brice Turang went 2-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base in a win over the Yankees on Friday in 10 innings.

    Advice: That steal is already the 13th of the season for Turang. The speedy infielder also singled twice to improve his average to .329 on the season with an .855 OPS to go along with it. This is obviously not sustainable, but it’s worth noting that Turang is a former first-round pick that was considered a top prospect not that long ago. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:29 pm
     
  • Likely won't return when eligible
    General manager Justin Hollander said Friday that Crawford (oblique) likely won't be activated from the injured list when he's eligible May 5, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Crawford was placed on the injured list Thursday with a Grade 1 oblique strain -- the least severe type of strain -- though it appears the 29-year-old shortstop is still facing an extended absence. Hollander didn't provide an exact timeline for Crawford's return, but a 2-to-3 week absence seems to be the best possible scenario. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:12 pm
     
  • J.P. Crawford (oblique) to miss at least 2-3 weeks
    Mariners general manager Justin Hollander told reporters on Friday that he expects J.P. Crawford (oblique) to miss at least 2-3 weeks in a best-case scenario.

    Advice: Crawford landed on the injured list on Thursday with a right oblique strain. It’s not surprising news, so oblique strains can tend to linger if they aren’t allowed to fully heal, so the Mariners’ will do the prudent thing here and proceed cautiously. Dylan Moore looks like he’ll continue to function as the team’s regular shortstop while Crawford is shelved. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:03 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
     
  • Not starting Friday
    Estrada (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pirates, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Estrada went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's game against the Mets before being pulled due to left hamstring tightness. The Giants had their off day Thursday, but the 28-year-old will sit out for at least one more game while managing his injury. Tyler Fitzgerald will start at second base Friday and bat eighth against Pirates right-hander Quinn Priester. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:18 pm

  • Drives in three runs
    Witt went 1-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and a run scored during Friday's 8-0 win at Detroit.

    Advice: The 23-year-old started the scoring with a sacrifice fly during the third inning and added a two-run triple as part of a seven-run ninth for the Royals. Witt is in a bit of a power drought with no homers in his past 14 games, though he does have six RBI and three steals over his last four contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:59 pm
