  • Plates pair in Friday's win
    Raleigh went 1-for-3 with an RBI sacrifice fly and a run-scoring single in a win over the Angels on Friday.

    Advice: Raleigh's timely hitting would prove to be essential in a one-run victory, with the backstop bringing home the first run of the game with a sacrifice fly in the opening frame before delivering a fifth-inning knock to plate J.P. Crawford and extend the Mariners' lead to 4-0 at the time. Raleigh had been mired in a 1-for-17 funk over the previous six games, however, and he's recorded just a sole extra-base hit over the 43 plate appearances spanning his last 12 games after lacing 14 over his first 41 contests of the campaign.

  • Homers again in win
    Fry went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Friday's 7-1 win over the Nationals.

    Advice: The homer was Fry's fourth in his last eight games. The 28-year-old has enjoyed a memorable May, going 23-for-60 (.383) with seven homers and 18 RBI over 21 contests for the month. He's slashing .352/.485/.629 with eight homers, 27 RBI, 27 runs scored and four stolen bases over 40 games this season. Fry offers a right-handed option at multiple positions, though he's unlikely to be needed in left field as much with Steven Kwan back from a hamstring injury. Fry's bat has been hot enough to force a few tough decisions into manager Stephen Vogt's lineup choices moving forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:16 pm

  • William Contreras picks up three hits in easy win
    William Contreras picked up three hits and drove in a run in a win Friday over the White Sox.

    Advice: Contreras, 26, also scored twice. The Brewers were able to reach 23 times via hit and six times on walks, and somewhat amazingly none of those hits went over the fence. Contreras is one of the best hitting backstops in baseball with a .323 average, .896 OPS, eight homers and four stolen bases across 229 at-bats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:06 pm
  • MJ Melendez goes 0-for-4 in loss to Padres
    MJ Melendez finished 0-for-4 while his teammates were combining to score eight runs Friday against the Padres.

    Advice: Melendez will likely turn this around if the Royals stick with him long enough, but at this point, sending him down for 2-3 weeks would make sense. He’s sitting at .172/.233/.337 for the season. Drew Waters wouldn’t necessarily be a better bet, but at least he’d improve the defense in left if given a shot. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:00 pm
  • Outrighted to Triple-A
    Reetz was outrighted to Triple-A Sacramento on Friday after clearing waivers.

    Advice: Reetz has struggled in the majors this season, going 1-for-12 while striking out four times across five appearances. He'll remain with the Giants organization and look to find his swing again in the minors. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:57 pm
  • Absent from lineup
    Langeliers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Langeliers will get a breather Friday after going 2-for-12 with a two-run home run during Oakland's three-game series with the Rays. Instead, Kyle McCann will bat sixth and fill in behind the dish. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:37 pm
  • Out against lefty
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Nationals, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: With Washington sending southpaw Patrick Corbin to the mound for the series opener, the lefty-hitting Naylor will get a break. David Fry will fill in at catcher and bat fifth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:40 am
  • Mets acquire catcher Luis Torrens from Yankees
    Mets acquired C Luis Torrens from the Yankees for cash considerations.

    Advice: Torrens will take the roster spot of Omar Narvaez, who was designated for assignment. He’s spent parts of the last five seasons in the majors, mostly with the Seattle Mariners. Torrens, 28, hit .243 with 15 home runs in 108 games in 2021 with Seattle. He figures to share catching duties with Tomas Nido until Francisco Alvarez returns. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:06 am
  • Mets designate Omar Narváez for assignment
    Mets designated C Omar Narváez for assignment.

    Advice: Narváez’s days on the Mets roster were likely numbered already with Francisco Alvarez on a rehab assignment. Instead the Mets are swapping him out for the newly acquired Luis Torrens. He batted just .154 in 28 games this season for the Mets. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:00 am
