    Shohei Ohtani was pulled from Friday’s game against the Padres in the seventh inning due to a biceps injury.

    Ohtani felt something during his previous at-bat and the Dodgers didn’t want to push him, so he was lifted for a pinch hitter. Dodgers’ skipper Dave Roberts called the move “precautionary”, and it doesn’t sound like there’s any additional testing planned at this time. While it doesn’t sound like anything that fantasy managers should worry about, be sure to check back on his status on Saturday to be on the safe side.

    Kyle Stowers went 4-for-5 with a pair of homers and three RBI on Friday evening as the Marlins crushed the Athletics 12-5 at Sutter Health Park.

    Stowers smacked a single into right field off of Jack Perkins in the first inning and scampered home on a wild pitch. He then led off the sixth inning with a 368-foot (108.6-mph EV) solo shot off of Justin Sterner that increased the Marlins’ advantage to 8-5. Stowers then piled on with a 388-foot (106.8-mph EV) two-run blast off of Mason Barnett in the eighth that made it 10-5. The 28-year-old outfielder’s bat appears to be heating up and he’s now hitting .243/.330/.457 with 10 homers, 37 RBI and one stolen base in 277 plate appearances on the season.

    Tyler Phillips struggled in a no-decision against the Athletics on Friday night, surrendering five runs on seven hits in just 3 1/3 innings of work.

    Phillips walked two and struck out two batters in the contest. His offense stated him to a six-run lead in the top half of the first inning, and all Phillips had to do was keep the train on the tracks to earn a victory. Unfortunately, he couldn’t do so. He served up a two-run blast to Nick Kurtz in the second inning and a bases-clearing double to Jeff McNeil in the fourth before ultimately exiting. Phillips got eight whiffs on 71 pitches on the night, registering an uninspiring CSW of just 23 percent. He’ll try to finish the first half strong as he brings a 3.52 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and a 52/32 K/BB ratio (69 innings) into Thursday’s showdown against the Mariners.

    Nick Kurtz went 2-for-3 and blasted his 20th home run of the season on Friday night, but it wasn’t enough to power the Athletics past the visiting Marlins.

    Kurtz led off the home half of the first inning with a single but wound up getting stranded at third. He then got the A’s on the board with his majestic 457-foot (112.9-mph EV) two-run shot off of Tyler Phillips in the third inning. Kurtz also walked in the contest. The 23-year-old slugger has been a revelation this season, slashing a monstrous .283/.425/.527 with 20 long balls and 66 RBI.

He’ll carry a 6.75 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and a 70/21 K/BB ratio (54 2/3 innings) into his final start of the first half on Thursday against the Tigers in Detroit.
