  • Shota Imanaga gives up 10 runs, 11 hits to Mets
    Shota Imanaga was tagged for 10 runs and 11 hits in 3 1/3 innings by the Mets on Friday.

    Advice: With his velocity down 1-2 mph on all of his pitches, Imanaga was crushed today, giving up three homers and 11 hard-hit balls in all. He was effective in his previous two starts, but this makes three out of five outings in which he’s struggled; he’s allowed 21 earned runs in those five outings after giving up a total of five in his first nine starts. The velocity is something to watch; he’s been really effective throwing at 92 mph at the top of the zone, but 90 mph might not get it done there. Rotoworld 25 minutes ago
     
  • Back in lineup Friday
    Toro (shoudler) is starting at third base and hitting in the leadoff spot for Friday's series opener against the Twins.

    Advice: Shoulder soreness kept Toro out of the starting lineup for the Athletics' last three games, though he did pinch hit in the seventh inning of Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Royals. On the season, Toro is slashing .259/.300/.387 with 15 doubles, six home runs and 24 RBI over 291 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 37 minutes ago

  • Nolan Jones (illness) returns to lineup on Friday
    Nolan Jones (illness) returned to the Rockies’ starting lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Nationals.

    Advice: The dynamic 26-year-old outfielder missed each of the team’s previous two games due to illness, but he’s right back out there in left field on Friday night. Jones will bat sixth against DJ Herz and the Nationals on Friday evening at Coors Field. Rotoworld Today, 1:45 pm

  • Sees action as in-game replacement
    Toro (shoulder) entered Thursday's loss to the Royals as a pinch hitter in the bottom of the seventh inning and remained in the game at third base, recording a double in his only plate appearance.

    Advice: Toro was out of the starting nine for the third straight game due to shoulder soreness, but his ability to make some hard contact and then stay in the game on defense implies he may be ready to return to the lineup Friday. The veteran's pinch-hit, two-out two-bagger Thursday had the potential to generate Toro's 25th RBI of the campaign and snap a 2-2 tie, but Kyle McCann was thrown out at the plate on the play to end the frame.

  • Four hits in win
    Tatis went 4-for-5 with a solo homer and a second run scored in Thursday's win over the Brewers.

    Advice: Tatis recorded hits in each of his first four trips to the plate, including a home run in the bottom of the fifth to extend San Diego's lead to 5-3. It was the star outfielder's 14th long ball on the campaign and his fifth this month, during which he's now batting .370 with seven RBI, two stolen bases and 13 runs scored. It also marked Tatis' second four-hit performance this season, both of which have come in June. Rotowire.com Today, 7:47 am
     
  • Goes yard again Thursday
    Winker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: For the second straight game, Winker went yard in the sixth inning, this time taking Ryne Nelson deep. While those are the veteran outfielder's only two long balls in June, he's otherwise putting together an impressive month, slashing .389/.484/.519 through 17 games with nine runs and 10 RBI.

  • Continues standout season
    Lugo allowed two runs on six hits and three walks while striking out eight batters over 6.2 innings in a no-decision against Oakland on Thursday.

    Advice: Lugo held the A's scoreless until Zack Gelof tagged him for a two-run homer with two outs in the seventh inning. The blast tied the game, costing Lugo a chance at his 11th win of the campaign. The right-hander nonetheless notched his 12th quality start, which is tied for the MLB lead. Lugo has reached that mark with an excellent 2.42 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through 104 innings. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:40 pm
     
  • Fernando Tatis Jr. goes 4-for-5, hits 14th homer
    Fernando Tatis Jr. went 4-for-5 with a homer versus the Brewers in Thursday’s victory.

    Advice: Tatis had the two hardest-hit balls in the game with his 112-mph homer and 111-mph single. It’s been a month since his last multi-RBI game on May 19, but that’s not really his fault. Rotoworld Yesterday, 11:17 pm
