Both homers were two-run shots off lefties. The first helped knock Ian Seymour out of the game after three. The second came after the Rays inserted Garrett Cleavinger to face him in the seventh. That homer made it a 7-6 game and concluded the scoring for the day. Abreu had four two-homer games last season, but he was without one this year until the second game of Friday’s doubleheader. He has 15 homers on the year, and he ended the game with an .800 OPS for the first time since May 24. The win was Boston’s 12th straight, and the Red Sox are now back over .500 for the first time since winning on Opening Day.

The single was hit at 106.9 mph. Acuña is working his way back from the hamstring strain that has sidelined him since near the start of June. The hope is that the 28-year-old star can return during the team’s current homestand which goes through Thursday. Assuming he doesn’t suffer a setback, it seems likely he’s back at the top of the Atlanta lineup in the coming days.

Smith-Shawver scattered four hits, and he averaged 96.9 mph on his fastball while touching 99 with the heater. The right-hander has looked sharp in his rehab appearances, and while he likely needs at least one more minor-league outing as he rebuilds his strength, there’s a very good chance the talented 23-year-old is ready to roll at some point near August.

Drogan has turned in three straight quality starts, and he has a 2.70 ERA in his last six turns. As long as he’s starting every five or six days for the Brewers, he’s probably worth using in mixed leagues. That’s especially the case next week, as his next start is likely to come at home against the Rockies.

Gurriel was placed on the IL with his adductor strain before Saturday’s game, so that would have him back before the end of July. Even if he does miss a day or two more as a precautionary measure, it seems more likely than not Gurriel is back for the D-backs before the start of August.

Walker appeared to grab his side while taking a swing against the Orioles, and it turns out the hip was the hailment. There’s a good chance he’ll be out of the lineup for the finale against Baltimore on Sunday, but there should be further updates on his status before that contest.

The Astros lost both Peña and Christian Walker (hip) to injury during Saturday’s game. The shortstop will likely undergo more evaluation, but if it’s just cramping, there’s a good chance he’s back in the lineup relatively soon, even if he misses Sunday’s finale against Baltimore.

Bieber’s velocity today wasn’t quite as good as in his final start before the break, but at 92.3 mph on average with his fastball, he was still better than in his first three outings back. He was able to generate 13 whiffs and finish with a 33 percent CSW while throwing only 80 pitches to get his 18 outs. If the velocity heads south again, Bieber probably won’t be helpful in mixed leagues. Right now, though, he’s looking good. He’ll get the Rays at home on Thursday.

Specialist Dr. Gregory Pearl got back to the Yankees on Saturday and basically confirmed Friday’s news. “There’s healing going on, which is good, but he’s still not able to start any baseball activities or anything,” Boone told reporters. “He needs to get to a point where he’s asymptomatic, where you really start ramping up more upper-body stuff.” Boone did say that the good news was that the pain is starting to subside for Judge, and that it’s more of a dull pain than the sharp one that has bothered the slugger. Judge was moved to the 60-day injured list that won’t allow him to return until the beginning of August, but there’s a good chance he’s not back until closer to the start of September.

Rogers reports that the Cubs will trade right-hander Aiden Moffitt in return. The Athletics designated Civale for assignment Wednesday, and it’s not surprising that they found a trade partner, and specifically a trade partner that needs rotation help like the Cubs. The right-hander has been awful after a terrific first nine starts for the A’s, but he’ll get a chance to rebound while playing behind a better club in Chicago. It’s also worth noting that Civale had some brief success with the Cubs last year with a 2.08 ERA in five appearances over 13 innings.
