  • Picks up victory Friday
    Grove (4-2) pitched a perfect inning to earn the win in relief against the Yankees on Friday.

    Advice: Neither team was able to score through nine innings, pushing the contest into extra frames. The Dodgers failed to score in the top of the 10th, but Grove was able to extend the game by keeping the Yankees from scoring in the bottom of that inning. The right-hander then moved into position for the win as a result of Los Angeles scoring twice in the top of the 11th. Grove still has an uninspiring 4.59 ERA on the campaign, but he's been pitching well since the end of April. Over his past 15 outings, he holds a 2.20 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 21:6 K:BB across 16.1 frames while recording four wins and four holds. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Steals, scores in loss
    Duran went 0-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 7-2 loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: Duran stole home, his first steal in 15 games, and leads Boston with 12 thefts. He also leads the team with 39 runs. The outfielder has been hot to start the month of June, going 10-for-26 (.385) with one double, one triple, two home runs, four RBI and seven runs scored over the last six games.

  • Gets breather Saturday
    Rojas isn't in the Phillies' lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Despite the Mets sending left-handed starter Sean Manaea to the mound, Rojas will step out of the lineup for the second game in a row Saturday. Cristian Pache will take over in center field again and bat ninth. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
     
  • Produces game-winning hit
    Hernandez went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 2-1 extra-innings win over the Yankees.

    Advice: Pitching dominated the matchup between two of the league's top teams, and Hernandez was responsible for half of the Dodgers' four hits. His second knock came in the 11th inning, when he doubled to left field to plate Los Angeles' only two runs of the game, which were enough to result in victory. Hernandez has three RBI over his past two contests to move into the team lead with 41 RBI on the campaign. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting versus lefty
    Dahl isn't in the Phillies' lineup Saturday against the Mets, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

    Advice: Lefty Sean Manaea will start on the hill for New York, meaning the left-handed bat of Dahl will take a seat to begin Saturday's contest. Whit Merrifield will draw the start in left field and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Starling Marte back in lineup for London Series
    Starling Marte (knee) is in the lineup for Saturday’s London Series opener against the Phillies.

  • Phillies add Rafael Marchán for London Series
    Rafael Marchán will serve as the Phillies’ extra player for this weekend’s London Series against the Mets.

    Advice: Marchán was activated from the injured list back in late May and has remained stationed at Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The 25-year-old backstop joins the Phillies overseas as their extra position player for the two-game London Series. Rotoworld 31 minutes ago
     
  • Swipes two bags off bench
    Hamilton entered Friday's game after Tyler O'Neill (knee) was removed and went 0-for-3 with two steals in a 7-2 loss to the White Sox.

    Advice: After O'Neill's removal, the Red Sox made several adjustments, including Hamilton entering at shortstop and Ceddanne Rafaela moving to the outfield. Hamilton now has 11 steals for the season, second on the team. The Red Sox are dealing with several outfield injuries -- O'Neill, Wilyer Abreu (ankle) and Masataka Yoshida (thumb) -- and may not be able to get by with Rafaela at shortstop in the short term. In that event, Hamilton could be a regular at short. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago
     
  • Reid Detmers allows seven runs in Triple-A debut
    Reid Detmers allowed seven runs over five innings on Friday for Triple-A Salt Lake.

    Advice: Yikes. The positive takeaway here is that Detmers recorded eight strikeouts and didn’t hand out a free pass. The 24-year-old talented southpaw was jettisoned to the minors earlier this month to give him some space to work on things. Simply put, he remains a work in progress. Rotoworld 33 minutes ago
