    • Early exit Thursday
      Soto was removed from Thursday's game against the Twins in the sixth inning due to left forearm discomfort, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Soto didn't return to the field after a lengthy rain delay, though the exact nature or cause of the injury remains unclear. Alex Verdugo entered the game in left field, with Aaron Judge shifting to right. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:18 pm

    • Juan Soto leaves game with forearm discomfort
      Juan Soto was removed from Thursday’s series finale against the Twins due to left forearm discomfort.

      Advice: Soto was 0-for-1 with a pair of walks before leaving the contest following a 56-minute rain delay prior to the sixth inning. It certainly sounds like his exit was merely for precautionary reasons, but there should be an update on his status prior to Friday’s showdown against the Dodgers. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. It’s unclear whether they’re linked, but top prospect Jasson Domínguez was lifted from a rehab contest for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre shortly after Soto’s early exit. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:16 pm

    • Gets rest during blowout
      Devers was replaced by a pinch hitter during the seventh inning of Thursday's game against the White Sox, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: Devers exited with the Red Sox up 11-0 to get some extra rest, and he went 1-for-4 with a run scored prior to hitting the bench. He now has a six-game hitting streak, during which he's gone 8-for-23 with three homers, six RBI and seven runs scored. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:06 pm
       
    • Morel hits 12th home run in loss Thursday
      Christopher Morel went 1-for-3 with a walk and a two-run home run against the Reds on Thursday.

      Advice: The home run was Morel’s 12th of the year. He’s hitting just .205 on the season, but his .212 BABIP is well below his career .287 BABIP. His 21 percent strikeout percentage is much improved from his career 29 percent strikeout percentage. Even if he goes back to striking out more, his average should improve over the rest of the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:54 pm

    • Christopher Morel in Thursday’s lineup vs. Reds
      Christopher Morel (foot) is in the lineup for Thursday’s showdown against the Reds.

      Advice: It’s a positive sign that Morel is back in the lineup without missing any time after making an early exit from Wednesday’s contest against the White Sos after fouling a ball off his left foot. The 24-year-old has been a mainstay in the heart of Chicago’s lineup supplying 11 homers and six steals through 61 contests. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:54 pm

    • In Thursday's lineup
      Morel (foot) is starting at third base and batting cleanup Thursday against the Reds.

      Advice: Morel was taken out of Wednesday's game after fouling a ball off his left foot, but he appears to be feeling well enough to return to the Cubs' lineup without a day off. The 24-year-old has posted just a .203 batting average so far this season, but he has been heating up recently, going 6-for-19 with two homers, three RBI and six runs scored across his last six games.

    • Absent from lineup
      Langeliers isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Langeliers has received more days off than usual of late, as he's now started just three of the last six games for the Athletics. He doesn't appear to be dealing with any sort of injury, however. Kyle McCann will get the start at catcher for Oakland on Thursday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:58 am
       
    • Expected to be fine
      Manager Craig Counsell said after Wednesday's game versus the White Sox that he believes Morel will be fine after he fouled a ball off his left foot, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

      Advice: Morel had to leave Wednesday's contest because of his foot, and although he never received an X-ray, the Cubs are confident he escaped the incident without any severe damage. There's a chance Morel sits out a game or two in order to recover from any lingering soreness, but a trip to the injured list shouldn't be necessary. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:02 pm

    • Tallies three hits in victory
      Volpe went 3-for-5 with a triple and two runs against Minnesota in a 9-5 win Wednesday.

      Advice: Volpe was responsible for one-third of the Yankees' nine hits in the victory, and he scored twice from atop the team's lineup. It was the fifth time this season the second-year shortstop has collected three or more hits in a game. Volpe had a 21-game hitting streak snapped May 30, but he's picked things right up since then, building a five-game hitting streak during which he's batted .364 (8-for-22).
