  • Stuck in small-side platoon
    Rosario went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Friday against Atlanta.

    Advice: With both Brandon Lowe and Taylor Walls back healthy, Rosario has found his playing time nearly exclusively against lefties. He's hit well in the role, maintaining a .393 average with three RBI and four runs scored across his last 10 games, but he's started only one of the Rays' last six matchups against righties.

  • Swats sixth homer
    Brennan went 2-for-4 with a double, a solo home run and a second run scored in Friday's 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: The 26-year-old took Kevin Gausman deep in the fourth inning for what proved to be the game-winning run. Brennan snapped a 16-game extra-base hit drought with the performance, and Friday's long ball gave him a new career high with six on the season after he slugged five in 138 games last year. On the season, Brennan is slashing .237/.299/.384 as a strong-side platoon option in the Guardians' outfield. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
     
  • Nails down 21st save
    Clase struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his 21st save of the season in a 3-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: After catching Vladimir Guerrero looking on a third strike, Clase coaxed routine groundballs from Bo Bichette and Justin Turner to end the game. The right-hander has converted eight straight save chances, posting a 1.80 ERA, 0.80 WHIP and 11:1 K:BB through 10 innings over that stretch, and Clase sits two back of the Cardinals' Ryan Helsley for the major-league saves lead.

  • Bright spot in loss
    Kelly struck out three over two hitless and scoreless innings in Friday's 8-1 loss to the Yankees.

    Advice: Kelly was the one of the good things to come out of Friday's loss. He's a pitcher that manager Alex Cora can rely on in multiple situations. "He can go multiple innings, and I think he starts with strike throwing," Cora told Sarah Barber of The Boston Globe. "Strike throwing, I think that's the most important thing." Since his return from Triple-A Worcester, the right-hander has allowed one run, no hits and three walks while striking out 10. Walks could be an issue, though. Although he's better about that since his return, Kelly has walked 5.1 batters per nine innings this season. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
     
  • Collects seventh win
    Allen (7-3) picked up the win Friday, allowing one run on three hits and three walks over five-plus innings in a 3-1 victory over the Blue Jays. He struck out three.

    Advice: The lefty wasn't exactly efficient, tossing 47 of 84 pitches for strikes, but he blanked Toronto for five frames before back-to-back hits to lead off the sixth brought home Toronto's only run and chased Allen from the game. The 25-year-old has given up three runs or less in five of his last six outings, posting a 3.86 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 24:12 K:BB in 30.1 innings over that stretch. He'll look to build on this performance in his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Mariners. Rotowire.com 15 minutes ago
     
  • Up to second in order
    Doyle went 2-for-5 Friday against the Pirates.

    Advice: Doyle has been productive across his last eight games, collecting nine hits across 32 at-bats while scoring five runs, driving in five and stealing four bases. He's also hit second in Colorado's lineup in four of the team's last six contests, and he stayed in that position even with Nolan Jones back in the lineup Friday. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Slugs 15th homer
    Santander went 2-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 extra-innings loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: His eighth-inning shot off Matt Strahm sent the game to extras, but Baltimore came up short in the end. Santander has been on a tear in June, slashing .273/.333/.636 with six of his 15 homers on the season in 14 games on the month. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Serves up homer
    Bednar allowed one earned run on one hit while striking out one Friday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Bednar was called upon to preserve a 5-1 lead in the ninth inning. He retired the first two batters he faced without issue but then served up a solo home run to Charlie Blackmon. Bednar has now given up a home run in consecutive appearances, though the Pirates still won on both occasions. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
     
  • Belts first homer of year
    Marchan went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-3 extra-innings win over the Orioles.

    Advice: The 25-year-old backstop took Kyle Bradish deep in the fifth inning, giving Marchan his first hit and first long ball with the Phillies this season. He's started two of four games since J.T. Realmuto (knee) was sidelined, and he could split work behind the plate fairly equally with Garrett Stubbs unless one of them seizes the starting job.
