  • Mark Canha collects two hits in loss to Royals
    Mark Canha went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles as the Tigers were shut out by the Royals on Friday afternoon at Comerica Park.

    Advice: As a team, the Tigers tallied just five total hits in the ballgame, with Canha the only player to have more than one. The 35-year-old outfielder is actually off to a nice start in his first season with the Tigers, slashing .271/.398/.518 with five homers, 14 RBI and a stolen base through his first 25 games. Not bad for a guy that was going outside the top-350 picks overall in fantasy drafts this spring. Rotoworld 35 minutes ago

  • Has torn cartilage in ribcage
    Casas revealed Friday that he's dealing with torn cartilage in his left ribcage, not a fractured rib as had been previously reported, Alex Speier of The Boston Globe reports.

    Advice: The injury is an unusual one and carries a wide range of potential timetables, with Casas saying it could be anywhere from three to nine weeks before he's cleared for cardio activities and strengthening. Once that happens, he would presumably need several more weeks before he's game-ready. Casas did add that he's very optimistic he'll be back at some point this season, it's just unclear when that might be. Bobby Dalbec is currently filling in at first base for the Red Sox.

  • Not in Friday's lineup
    Noda is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Baltimore.

    Advice: The 28-year-old sat against lefty Nestor Cortes on Thursday and is on the bench again Friday versus righty Corbin Burnes. Tyler Nevin will receive a start at first base as Noda has a .523 OPS through 83 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago
     
  • Casas (rib) suffered torn cartilage, not fracture
    Triston Casas told reporters that he didn’t fracture his rib, but rather suffered torn cartilage.

    Advice: It’s a bit of a twist for Casas’ injury that was initially reported as a broken rib, but the 24-year-old is dealing with torn cartilage that is a bit unusual with a non-contact injury. Despite the change of diagnosis, Casas’ timetable to return is still very much in question ranging from three weeks to nine weeks before he can start ramping up for his return. He was optimistic that he can return this season, but for the time being, it’s a huge loss for the Boston’s lineup and fantasy managers. Rotoworld Today, 12:45 pm

  • Starting Friday
    Urias is starting at third base and batting ninth Friday against the Athletics, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

    Advice: The 29-year-old has just two starts in Baltimore's past 14 games, but he's back in the lineup Friday and should have a more regular role after top prospect Jackson Holliday was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk. Urias had a .703 OPS in 116 games last season but is off to a slow start in 2024 with a .194/.216/.222 slash line in 37 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 12:08 pm

  • Three hits in Thursday's loss
    Meneses went 3-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Thursday's loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: It's the third multi-hit performance in the last five games for Meneses, who's started seven straight contests while batting .360 (9-for-25). The 31-year-old is still looking for his first homer of the season an d has only two doubles, but with Lane Thomas (knee) on the shelf and Joey Gallo needed in right field, Meneses' playing time looks secure as he flips between first base and DH. On the season, he's slashing .257/.337/.284 with 10 RBI but only two runs scored in 20 games. Rotowire.com Today, 10:01 am
     
  • Sitting again Friday
    Renfroe is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Renfoe isn't starting for the second straight game and for the third time in Kansas City's past four contests. The 32-year-old has a .149/.208/.284 slash line in 72 plate appearances and appears to be losing his grip on an everyday role. Adam Frazier will receive a start in right field Friday.

  • Slugs first homer
    Montero went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Thursday against the Padres.

    Advice: Montero went 6-for-22 through the first six games of the Rockies' homestand, though all but one of those hits was a single. His lone extra-base knock came Thursday, which also marked the first home run of his season. Montero is batting only .233 through 82 plate appearances, but he has cut his strikeout rate to just 14.6 percent this season and has started 13 of the last 14 games. Rotowire.com Today, 7:09 am
