  • Shea Langeliers hits go-ahead homer in eighth
    Shea Langeliers hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth to give the Athletics a 6-5 win over the Twins on Friday.

    Advice: With the A’s trailing 5-4, Langeliers took Jhoan Duran deep to give Oakland a 6-5 lead and ultimately the victory. He drove in another run with a single to center in the fifth. Langeliers shows the potential to be a long-term catching option for fantasy teams, but his .207 average makes him a tough sell in one-catcher formats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:09 pm
     
  • Luis Campusano (thumb) considered day-to-day
    Luis Campusano was scratched from the Padres’ starting lineup on Friday night due to a left thumb contusion.

    Advice: Fortunately, the injury isn’t believed to be serious, and the 25-year-old backstop is considered day-to-day. Kyle Higashioka is starting in his place behind the dish on Friday night and will carry the load until Campusano is ready to return. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:58 pm

  • Scratched due to left thumb injury
    Campusano (thumb) has been scratched from Friday's lineup against the Brewers, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Campusano was initially slated to start behind home plate and bat eighth, but manager Mike Shildt said the catcher was scratched due to "soreness and bruising" in his left thumb, and it's unclear whether a stint on the IL is needed. Kyle Higashioka will instead start at catcher and bat ninth against Brewers right-hander Colin Rea. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:36 pm

  • Homers, reaches three times in win
    Alvarez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Friday's 11-1 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Alvarez opened the second inning with a 420-foot home run off Shota Imanaga then walked in the fourth and ninth frames. The homer was Alvarez's first since returning from a thumb injury June 11, and he has eight hits and five RBI during a modest four-game hitting streak. On the season, Alvarez is slashing .271/.319/.400 with two home runs and 15 RBI in 91 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:17 pm

It's not clear exactly what Stephenson is dealing with, but the Reds brought up Austin Wynns as insurance at catcher. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:56 pm
