New York Yankees reliever Luke Weaver (1-2) suffered his second loss of the season in a 5-3 decision against the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. Returning after missing three weeks with a hamstring injury, Weaver entered a 3-3 game in the top of the eighth inning. The right-hander gave up a leadoff home run to Orioles third baseman Ramon Urias and later yielded a walk and a single. The Yankees pulled Weaver after he threw 24 pitches and recorded two outs (one via strikeout), but lefty Tim Hill allowed one of the two inherited runners to score on a Gunnar Henderson single. It's not what the Yankees or fantasy managers wanted to see from Weaver after a lengthy absence. While Weaver still owns a shiny 1.71 ERA over 26 1/3 innings, he has now surrendered a homer in three of his four most recent appearances. The Yankees will continue turning to Weaver and Devin Williams in high-leverage situations, though it could be the latter who receives more save opportunities. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor how the Yankees use the two late in games.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge provided one of the club's few highlights in a 5-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Friday. Judge took Orioles right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano deep for his 27th home run, a third-inning solo blast. He also singled twice, drew a walk, and struck out in a 3-for-4 night. It was the first multi-hit game since June 10 for Judge, who also broke six-game homer and RBI droughts. While the two-time AL MVP has cooled off of late, he's still slashing an otherworldly .371/.468/.739 with 61 RBI and 67 runs over 333 trips to the plate. However, he's an unsightly 4-for-19 with no extra-base hits, zero RBI, and 10:2 K:BB against the Orioles' Zach Eflin. The right-handed Eflin will start against Judge and the Yankees on Saturday.

Texas Rangers right-hander Jacob deGrom pitched six innings of two-run ball to lead his club to a 6-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. The 37-year-old improved to 7-2 after yielding five hits and logging seven strikeouts against one walk. He has now notched four quality starts in four tries this month. Across a 25-inning span in June, deGrom has given up only five runs on 16 hits and posted 25 strikeouts against four walks. In all, deGrom has offered elite-level production with a 2.24 ERA, 87:18 K:BB, and a 0.92 WHIP through 88 1/3 innings. Neither the Rangers nor fantasy managers could have expected more from deGrom after he missed almost all of the previous two seasons because of Tommy John surgery. The two-time Cy Young winner will try to keep rolling Wednesday against the Baltimore Orioles.

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager belted his first home run in over a month in a 6-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. Seager's solo shot, his seventh of the year, was his first in 18 games and his lone hit in a 1-for-5 night. After smacking two HRs on May 10, Seager went on the injured list for two-plus weeks with a hamstring strain. He returned May 28 and has batted a miserable .147 (10-for-68) with three RBI since then. Thanks to his woeful stretch over the past few weeks, Seager is hitting an uncharacteristically pedestrian .232/.319/.393 in 191 plate appearances. However, Seager ranks in the league's 84th percentile or better in xBA, xSLG, xwOBA, and average exit velocity. With that in mind, the three-time 30-HR hitter is a clear candidate for positive regression. He'll face Pirates right-hander Mitch Keller on Saturday.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. turned in a solid performance in a losing effort on Friday. The Braves fell 6-2 to the Marlins despite a multi-hit game from Acuna, who finished 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and a run scored. More notably, Acuna was successful on a steal attempt. After tearing his left ACL a year ago, the two-time steals champion has understandably been cautious on the bases since making his season debut May 23. He has attempted two steals, both of which were successful. While fantasy managers would like to see Acuna run more, they can't complain about his production with the bat. He's hitting an all-world .352/.491/.685 with eight homers, 14 RBI, 24 runs, and a strong 17.6% walk rate in 108 trips to the plate.

Miami Marlins catcher/designated hitter Agustin Ramirez had a big Friday night to lead the Fish to a 6-2 win over the Atlanta Braves. Ramirez came to the plate with two men on in the bottom of the third inning and hit a 436-foot blast against right-hander Didier Fuentes. He later knocked in another run on a single to finish 2-for-4 with four RBI. Ramirez now has four HRs and 10 RBI in 17 games in June, though he has hit just .208 (15-for-72) with 12:3 K:BB this month. Overall, the 23-year-old rookie has held his own with a .239/.290/.458 line, 11 HRs, 27 RBI, 24 runs, and a 16.6% strikeout rate in 217 plate appearances. Ramirez will take on Braves right-hander Grant Holmes for the first time on Saturday.

Seattle Mariners catcher Cal Raleigh continued his remarkable first half of the season in a 9-4 win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday. The switch-hitting Raleigh smashed two homers, drove in three runs, scored four times, and drew a walk in a 3-for-4 day. Having gone deep a league-leading 29 times this year, Raleigh now holds the record for most HRs by a catcher before the All-Star break. That honor previously belonged to the legendary Johnny Bench, who swatted 28 before the break in 1970. Raleigh still has 22 games left until the Midsummer Classic to continue building on his new record. In addition to his historic HR total, Raleigh is slashing a tremendous .273/.379/.646 with 63 RBI, 51 runs, and nine stolen bases. He has been a fantasy manager's dream this year.

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. said on Friday that he'd participate in the upcoming Home Run Derby if invited this year. The All-Star game will be held in Truist Park this year, so it's only fitting that Acuna gets involved. The league always wants to have a home team representative for the tournament. Acuna feels like the obvious choice given his superstar level status. The 27-year-old recently returned from an ACL injury and already has eight home runs in 24 games. Acuna has posted two 40-plus homer seasons already in his young career. He certainly appears to be a great option for the 2025 Home Run Derby.

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow (shoulder) is set to make a rehab start with Triple-A Oklahoma City. Glasnow threw a 40-pitch live batting practice session earlier in the week. It appears that session went well enough that Glasnow will start making rehab starts. It sounds like the plan is for Glasnow to make three rehab starts before rejoining the Dodgers rotation. If everything goes well, Glasnow should be back in the mix following the All-Star break. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update after his first rehab start.

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Dennis Santana has been suspended four games for his action during the second game of the doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday. Santana gets slapped with this suspension for allegedly attempting to jump up and hit a fan above the bullpen wall. The suspension was supposed to start on Friday, but Santana has decided to appeal it. That being said, Santana will remain active out of the bullpen until the league makes their decision. Santana has been a stud out of the bullpen with a 1.72 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and 25/5 K/BB ratio across 31.1 innings of work this season.

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Robert Suarez and the team's manager Mike Shildt have been suspended for their actions during Thursday's contest. The league has also suspended the Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts as well. Suarez gets slapped with a three-game suspension after almost certainly hitting slugger Shohei Ohtani on purpose. This happened after Padres' slugger Fernando Tatis Jr. was hit in the hand by a pitch earlier in the game. Suarez will appeal his suspension, but both managers will be suspended one game and cannot appeal it.

Los Angeles Angels catcher Logan O'Hoppe is absent from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Astros. O'Hoppe will now head to the bench for the second straight game. It appears the Angels are giving O'Hoppe extra rest given his struggles at the plate. Over his last eight games, O'Hoppe is 3-for-31 at the plate, so it's not shocking to see him taking a seat here. At this point, O'Hoppe isn't someone that needs to be rostered in all fantasy formats right now. Travis d'Arnaud will cover behind the plate and bat fifth versus right-hander Hunter Brown on Friday.

San Diego Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. (hand) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Kansas City Royals. There was speculation that Tatis would miss time after getting hit in the hand by a pitch during Thursday's contest. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative and Tatis is back without missing a single game. He probably is still sore, but that's not going to keep Tatis out of the lineup. He'll bat in the leadoff spot and cover right field versus right-hander Michael Lorenzen on Friday.

Texas Rangers corner infielder Jake Burger (side) was forced to make an early exit from Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Burger appeared to grab his side after striking out in the seventh inning. He was pulled from the contest after that due to left side tightness. The expectation is that Burger will undergo further evaluation before the team gives more information on his status. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day until more info is revealed. Burger went 1-for-4 at the plate before being lifted for Ezequiel Duran. Possibly, Duran sees more time at first base if Burger is forced to miss time.

Los Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitching prospect Jack Little was optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City earlier on Friday. This transaction opened a spot on the major league roster for right-handed pitcher Will Klein. Little made his MLB debut on Thursday against the Padres. He tossed two innings of relief. He allowed four hits and two earned runs and struck out just one batter. However, earlier this season, Little was very effective at Oklahoma City and could be in the mix for an early return to the majors. Through 32 2/3 innings of work, the Stanford prospect has held a strong 2.20 ERA with a 1.16 WHIP. During this stretch, the right-hander has struck out 33 batters and tallied 10 saves. If he were to return to Los Angeles, he would likely return in a middle relief role.

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno (finger) has a hairline fracture in his right index finger, manager Torey Lovullo announced. Moreno went to the 10-day IL on Thursday (retroactive to June 16) with a hand contusion, but it turns out to be a more significant injury than the team realized. It's now all but guaranteed that he will not rejoin the Diamondbacks when he's first eligible to return on June 27. Moreno, who played through the injury over the past couple of weeks, has batted a respectable .270/.324/.414 with five home runs and 25 RBI in 188 trips to the plate. The Diamondbacks will have to rely on Jose Herrera and Aramis Garcia behind the plate until Moreno comes back.
From RotoBaller
Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford (back) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Langford is day-to-day with back stiffness, manager Bruce Bochy announced. Sam Haggerty will take his place in left field and bat second against Pirates right-hander Mike Burrows. The 23-year-old Langford has hit a decent .240/.317/.439 with 13 home runs, 31 RBI, 32 runs, and 11 stolen bases in 278 plate appearances. If he stays healthy, he should at least surpass the 16 HRs and 19 steals he piled up as a rookie last year. The hope is that Langford will return to the Rangers' lineup Saturday, but it's a situation worth monitoring for fantasy managers.

The St. Louis Cardinals have recalled infield prospect Thomas Saggese to the major leagues prior to their contest on Friday. In a corresponding move, the Cardinals placed catcher Ivan Herrera (hamstring) on the 10-day IL with a hamstring strain. Saggese is currently considered the No. 5 prospect in the system on MLB.com. The Cardinals drafted Saggese in the fifth round of the 2020 MLB Draft. The 23-year-old has appeared in 32 MLB games over the past two seasons and held a .267/.302/.400 slash line with six doubles, two home runs, and a 25:4 K:BB. However, through 42 games at Triple-A this season, Saggese has been quite productive, posting a .317/.402/.445 slash line with six doubles, five home runs, and five stolen bases. Fantasy managers should expect Saggese to have a role as a depth infielder, and he is not worth adding in any standard leagues.

New York Mets third baseman Mark Vientos (hamstring) will continue to rehab his injured right hamstring with Triple-A Syracuse this weekend, per Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. If he gets through Sunday unscathed, he could rejoin the Mets on Monday. The club has gone almost three weeks without Vientos, who landed on the 10-day IL on June 3 with a low-grade strain. Brett Baty and Ronny Mauricio have manned the hot corner in Vientos' absence. However, both Baty and Mauricio have posted horrific production this month. Vientos looked like a breakout slugger during a 27-homer campaign a year ago, but he endured struggles of his own before going on the shelf. The 25-year-old has hit an uninspiring .230/.298/.380 with six HRs and 21 RBI in 208 plate appearances this season.

Toronto Blue Jays outfield prospect Alan Roden (knee) remains out of the starting nine on Friday evening when they begin a series against the Chicago White Sox. Roden was held out of action on Thursday due to inflammation in his right knee. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he may miss additional time over the weekend. Instead, the Blue Jays will give Nathan Lukes the starting nod in left field, which opens center field for Jonatan Clase and right field for Addison Barger. Through his first 39 games in the major leagues, Roden has posted a .202/.282/.281 slash line with four doubles and one round-tripper. The Blue Jays are a viable target in DFS this evening, facing Chicago White Sox right-hander Grant Taylor, who holds a 4.50 ERA.
