Zach Davies (leg) is on track to make his scheduled start Sunday against the Dodgers.

Advice: Davies had to be helped off the field after taking a line drive off his right leg on Monday in his last outing, but tests came back clean and he was able to throw his normal between-starts bullpen session. “We still have a couple of hurdles to clear but with the information we got we’re going to proceed as he will be starting on Sunday,” Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said.

Shohei Ohtani left Thursday's game against the Blue Jays with back stiffness.

Advice: Ohtani was pinch-hit for after he was done pitching with Taylor Ward coming to the plate. He told reporters that he felt his back stiffen on a slider in the first inning, and that it impacted the velocity for the rest of the start. Angels manager Joe Maddon told reporters that the injury is not considered serious, but he didn't know if the two-way star will be able to play against the Blue Jays on Friday. It goes without saying, but fantasy managers will have to monitor this situation closely. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 10:44 pm

Freddie Freeman went 4-for-5 with a three-run homer and five RBI on Thursday, leading the Dodgers to a 14-1 blowout victory over the Diamondbacks.

Advice: Freeman opened the scoring with an RBI double off Diamondbacks' starter Humberto Castellanos in the opening frame before walloping a three-run homer to right-center field -- his fourth round-tripper of the season -- in the ensuing frame. He also added an RBI double to center field in the sixth inning, just for good measure. The 32-year-old fantasy superstar has put together a phenomenal Dodgers debut this season, hitting .312/.399/.500 with 32 runs scored, four homers, 28 RBI and three steals across 198 plate appearances.

Cody Bellinger went 3-for-6 with three RBI on Thursday in his return to the Dodgers' lineup.

Advice: Bellinger made an immediate impact for the Dodgers after missing two straight contests earlier this week due to illness. The 26-year-old slugger padded Los Angeles's sizable lead with an RBI double off Diamondbacks' reliever Luis Frias in the sixth inning. He also added a two-run single off position player Jake Hager in the ninth inning. Still counts, folks. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 10:16 pm

Mitch White tossed four scoreless innings Thursday in a no-decision against the Diamondbacks.

Advice: White was staked to a massive early lead and cruised through four frames, limiting the Diamondbacks' lineup to just a pair of hits and walks in this one. The 27-year-old righty has compiled a serviceable 4.60 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 15/6 K/BB ratio across 15 2/3 innings (seven appearances, two starts) this season. He's lined up to face the Pirates on Wednesday if he's given another turn in the Dodgers' starting rotation. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 10:15 pm

Taylor Ward (neck, shoulder) pinch-hit Thursday in the Angels' loss to the Blue Jays.

Advice: Ward came off the bench to pinch-hit for Shohei Ohtani in the eighth inning of Thursday's series opener against the Blue Jays and lined out to center field. It was his lone at-bat of the low-scoring contest. The late-blooming 28-year-old superstar has been absent from the Angels' starting lineup for five consecutive games due to neck and shoulder soreness stemming from last weekend's collision with the right-field wall. It sounds like he'll continue to pinch-hit until he's fully healthy again. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 10:08 pm

Luis Rengifo went 2-for-4 with an RBI on Thursday in the Angels' loss to the Blue Jays.

Advice: Rengifo singled in the opening frame before putting the Halos on the scoreboard with an RBI single to center field against Blue Jays' starter Hyun Jin Ryu in the third inning. The versatile 25-year-old infielder has emerged as a solid contributor this season, hitting .295/.380/.386 with one homer and one steal in 51 plate appearances since being called up earlier this month.

Nathaniel Lowe hit a two-run homer Thursday, lifting the Rangers to a 4-1 victory over the Athletics.

Advice: Lowe provided a pair of key insurance runs for the Rangers with a two-run blast to right-center field -- his third long ball of the season -- off Athletics' lefty reliever Sam Moll in the top of the ninth inning. It was his second round-tripper in his last five games. The 26-year-old slugger has cooled off considerably following a fantastic opening month to the 2022 campaign, but he's still capable of providing the occasional homer for fantasy managers in deeper mixed leagues and AL-only formats.

Rockies activated RHP Peter Lambert off the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Albuquerque.

Advice: Lambert has been dealing with a forearm issue while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. The right-hander will remain in Triple-A, and has a chance to help the Colorado pitching staff before the end of 2022.  NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 9:52 pm

Martín Pérez yielded one run over seven innings Thursday in a no-decision against the Athletics.

Advice: Pérez continued his phenomenal 2022 campaign, limiting the Athletics to just one run on four hits and a pair of walks over seven frames. He also finished with six strikeouts in this one. The 31-year-old left-hander has allowed three earned runs or fewer in nine consecutive starts this season and also hasn't given up a home run yet. He'll carry a microscopic 1.60 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 44/14 K/BB ratio across 56 1/3 innings (nine starts) into a favorable home matchup Tuesday against the Rays. NBCSportsEDGE.com Yesterday, 9:51 pm
