  • Smacks homer in win
    Renfroe went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Renfroe went back-to-back with Salvador Perez in the second inning, and the Royals never looked back. This was Renfroe's second multi-hit effort in seven games since he returned from a bruised toe. He's up to eight homers, 28 RBI, 25 runs scored and one stolen base while slashing .211/.292/.389 through 63 contests. As long as Adam Frazier (thumb) remains on the injured list, Renfroe should see a majority of the playing time in right field for the Royals. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:42 pm
     
  • Placed on IL
    The Giants placed Flores on the 10-day injured list Friday with right knee tendinitis, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Flores has been slumping at the plate lately, going just 2-for-19 with three RBI in his last six games. He'll now be sidelined for at least 10 days due to his knee, and starting first base duties will be given back to LaMonte Wade (hamstring), who was activated off the injured list in a corresponding move.

  • Giants place Wilmer Flores (knee) on 10-day IL
    Giants placed INF Wilmer Flores on the 10-day injured list with left knee tendinitis.

    Advice: Flores has been battling the knee issue for a couple of weeks now so the Giants finally decided to sit him down and get him right. The timing worked out as LaMonte Wade was activated from the injured list on Friday and can handle the bulk of the action at first base while Flores is shelved. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:40 pm

  • Jeimer Candelario (knee) expected to return Sunday
    Reds’ manager David Bell told reporters on Friday that Jeimer Candelario (knee) is expected to return to the starting lineup on Sunday.

    Advice: Candelario has missed each of the team’s last three games due to a knee issue and he’ll sit on Saturday as well. The team doesn’t want him to miss a full 10 days though and they’re very hopeful that he’ll be able to return to action on Sunday. Fantasy mangers may still want to sit him through the weekend though to be on the safe side if alternative options are available. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:24 pm

Luis Guillorme will start in his place at second base on Friday night and will bat ninth against Kenta Maeda and the Tigers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:20 pm
