  • Willson Contreras reaches four times vs. White Sox
    Willson Contreras went 3-for-3 and scored two runs with a stolen base against the White Sox on Friday.

    Advice: Contreras also drew a walk. The 31-year-old is off to a much better start than the one he had in his first year with the Cardinals, as the four-reach game sees his line improve to .281/.395/.631 over 96 at-bats. Rotoworld 50 minutes ago
     
  • Salvador Perez hits three-run homer in victory
    Salvador Perez hit a three-run homer in the Royals’ 7-1 victory over the Rangers on Friday.

    Advice: Perez broke the game open with his three-run homer, as it came with the Royals leading 4-1 in an inning where Kansas City put up a six-spot. The 33-year-old catcher has already gone deep eight times in 2024, and the three runs driven in bump that total to 30. The suggestion that Perez was done being a strong fantasy option behind the plate may have been greatly exaggerated. Rotoworld Today, 7:11 pm
     
  • Exits with blurred vision
    Bailey was removed from Friday's game against the Phillies due to blurred vision, Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Bailey was struck in the face mask by a foul tip off the bat of Alec Bohm during the first inning of Friday's contest and was later replaced by Tom Murphy in the second frame. The Giants are still in the process of evaluating Bailey, but an update on his status may be available after the game. Rotowire.com Today, 5:38 pm
     
  • Patrick Bailey leaves game due to blurred vision
    Patrick Bailey was pulled from Friday night’s ballgame against the Phillies due to blurred vision.

    Advice: Bailey took a foul ball off the face mask during Alec Bohm’s at-bat in the first inning. He’ll presumably go through the full concussion protocol now just to make sure that everything checks out alright. It’s likely that the Giants will need to do some maneuvering on their roster to get an extra catcher in there on Saturday. Rotoworld Today, 5:35 pm
     
  • Patrick Bailey leaves game with apparent injury
    Patrick Bailey was removed from Friday night’s battle against the Phillies in the second inning due to an apparent injury.

    Advice: It’s not immediately clear what happened, but Bailey took a hard foul ball off of his face mask during the first inning and it could be related. Expect the Giants to provide an update on his status as soon as one becomes available. Rotoworld Today, 4:58 pm

  • Hitting off tee
    Murphy (oblique) began hitting off the tee during Atlanta's most recent series against Seattle earlier this week, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Advice: It's the first time Murphy has swung the bat since landing on the 10-day IL on March 30 with a Grade 1 left oblique strain. Prior to the series in Seattle, Murphy was limited to light throwing and catching work in the bullpen. The 29-year-old has taken a positive step in his program, but he still has a ways to go before starting a rehab assignment. Rotowire.com Today, 3:53 pm
     
  • Sean Murphy (oblique) takes swings off a tee
    Sean Murphy (oblique) took swings off of a tee while the Braves were in Seattle.

    Advice: It’s a small step, but it’s at least a step in the right direction for the hard-hitting backstop. Everything went well with that swinging session and the club will continue to ramp him up from there. There’s still no clear timetable for when he may be able to return.

    Pirates activated C Yasmani Grandal from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: The 35-year-old backstop is ready to make his Pirates’ debut after recovering from plantar fasciitis in his right foot. With Henry Davis optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis on Friday, Grandal will share the load behind the plate with Joey Bart for the foreseeable future. Rotoworld Today, 2:34 pm
