    • Starling Marte back in lineup for London Series
      Starling Marte (knee) is in the lineup for Saturday’s London Series opener against the Phillies.

      Advice: Marte is back in right field and batting fifth for Saturday’s London Series opener after getting a couple extra days of rest after sitting out Wednesday’s series finale against the Nationals due to right knee soreness. Rotoworld Today, 6:40 am
       
    • Manny Machado sits out Friday against D-backs
      Manny Machado (hip) was held out of the lineup for Friday’s game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Machado made a pinch-hit appearance during Thursday’s series opener against Arizona, but wasn’t needed during Friday’s one-sided affair. The 31-year-old third baseman is day-to-day with a mild right hip flexor strain and figures to return at some point this weekend. Rotoworld Today, 6:37 am

    • Bobby Miller averages 97.4 mph on Friday at AAA
      Bobby Miller (shoulder) allowed two runs (one earned) over four innings on Friday in a minor league rehab start for Triple-A Oklahoma City.

      Advice: The positive news here for fantasy managers is that Miller averaged 97.4 mph on his four-seam fastball in this one and was able to generate nine swinging strikes, nearly all of them on his secondary offerings. He struck out two and also issued a pair of walks, needing 85 pitches (50 strikes) to get through four-plus frames. Barring something unexpected, the hard-throwing 25-year-old righty should return to Los Angeles at some point next week. Rotoworld Today, 6:32 am

    • Returns to lineup
      Marte (knee) is starting in right field and batting fifth Saturday against the Phillies, Abbey Mastracco of the New York Daily News reports.

      Advice: A knee issue forced Marte to be scratched from New York's lineup prior to Wednesday's contest, but the problem appears to have subsided ahead of New York's two-game series against Philly in London. The 35-year-old outfielder has been on a tear as of late, going 10-for-22 with six RBI and five runs scored across his last six games. Rotowire.com Today, 6:29 am
       
    • Orelvis Martinez up to 15 round-trippers at Triple-A
      Blue Jays INF prospect Orelvis Martinez belted his 15th homer of the season on Friday for Triple-A Buffalo.

      Advice: Martinez leads the International League with 15 big flies this season and doesn’t appear to have too much left to prove in the minors, especially with Toronto’s lineup continuing to struggle. It feels like only a matter of time before he gets the call to attempt to inject some life into the Blue Jays’ lineup. Rotoworld Today, 6:27 am

    • Launches go-ahead homer
      Conforto went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk in Friday's 5-2 win over the Rangers.

      Advice: The Rangers tied the game at 2-2 in the fifth inning, but Conforto's seventh-inning blast put the Giants ahead for good. The outfielder has slumped since returning from a hamstring injury, going 2-for-14 over four contests, but his long ball Friday could spark his bat. Overall, he's at a .268/.324/.478 slash line with eight homers, 22 RBI, 21 runs scored, seven doubles, one triple and no stolen bases through 42 games. Conforto should continue to see a starting role in left field, though he could be squeezed out of the lineup versus some southpaws to accommodate the red-hot Heliot Ramos.

    • Racks up three hits
      Campusano went 3-for-4 with a double, two RBI and one run scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Campusano entered Friday just 1-for-29 with four walks and five strikeouts over his previous 12 contests. He finally made some good contact, which included an RBI single in the eighth inning as well as a double, which was his first extra-base hit since May 19. The catcher's slump left a mark on his season-long numbers -- he's now at a .234/.284/.359 slash line with four home runs, 27 RBI, 23 runs scored, 11 doubles and no stolen bases over 57 games. Campusano remains in a starting role at catcher over Kyle Higashioka. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:30 pm
       
    • Dealing with oblique tightness
      Suzuki said after Friday's game versus the Reds that he asked to be removed in the sixth inning after feeling tightness in his oblique, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.

      Advice: Suzuki was hit in the side by a throw while stealing a base in the first inning, and he was checked on by trainers after appearing uncomfortable at the plate in the fifth frame. He later was replaced in right field by Mike Tauchman -- a precautionary move given Suzuki's recent history with oblique injuries. The Cubs haven't run any tests on the 29-year-old's oblique, so an update on his status will likely have to wait until before Saturday's contest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:55 pm

    • Boone: Soto ‘wasn’t an option’ Friday vs. Dodgers
      Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters after Friday’s extra-innings loss to the Dodgers that Juan Soto (forearm) wasn’t available.

      Advice: Soto left Thursday’s game with inflammation in his forearm, and there was some speculation that the outfielder could be available off the bench for Friday’s contest. Several possibilities passed where Soto could have entered, but Boone kept the outfielder on the bench. It’s possible that the slugger could return over the weekend, but the Yankees aren’t going to rush the superstar back. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:44 pm
