    Konnor Griffin is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Phillies

    The Pirates are just being cautious with their star in his return from a forearm strain. Griffin returned last Friday and will now have sat in two of the team’s seven games since then. We would expect them to go back to playing him nearly every day after the All-Star break. On Thursday, Jared Triolo will bat ninth and play shortstop, and Jake Mangum will move into Griffin’s spot at the top of the order.

    Bazzana has 14 home runs on the season. He hit a solo shot off Chris Murphy in the first inning and another solo shot off Davis Martin in the sixth inning. Bazzana has been more of a solid contributor than difference maker in fantasy so far. He’s hitting .252 with 14 home runs, 19 stolen bases, 52 runs scored and 56 RBI.

    Grant Taylor allowed two runs, blew the save and took the loss against the Guardians on Tuesday.

    Taylor was one out away from a two-inning save, but he lost a two-on, two-out battle with Bryan Rocchio, who hit a walk-off two-run double. He’s allowed at least one run in four consecutive appearances. Taylor has a 2.41 ERA and should remain the favorite for saves with the White Sox.

    Yoshinobu Yamamoto allowed one hit over seven innings in the Dodgers’ 4-0 shutout of the Reds on Tuesday.

    Yamamoto gave up two walks in the first and an Elly De La Cruz double in the third, retiring the other 21 batters he faced. He struck out seven. Yamamoto is 14-8 with a 2.51 ERA in 179 innings this season, which is pretty close to his 12-8 record and 2.49 ERA from 173 2/3 innings last year. The big differences are that his strikeout rate has dropped from 29.4 percent last year to 26 percent this year, but also that he’s upped his efficiency; those 179 innings have come in 28 starts this year, whereas he needed 30 to throw 173 2/3 innings last year. He’ll likely make his next start Tuesday against the Padres.

    Rhett Lowder gave up three runs in five innings Tuesday in a loss to the Dodgers.

    It’s a decent rebound from Lowder’s last start, when he gave up seven runs in 3 1/3 innings against these same Dodgers. Still, it’s another loss, leaving him 6-11 with a 5.79 ERA. He’s had just six quality starts in 24 tries on the year. He’s in line to make his next start Sunday against the Cubs.

    Teoscar Hernández homered in a second straight game Tuesday against the Reds.

    Hernández had a two-run homer off Rhett Lowder and a walk tonight. Peaking at the right time, he’s hitting .417 with four homers, 18 RBI and nine walks in his last 14 games, taking his OPS from .692 to .766.

    Alex Freeland went 2-for-4 and homered Tuesday against the Reds.

    Since rejoining the Dodgers on Sept. 1, Freeland has been a lineup fixture against righties and is batting .258/.379/.419. He might be forced back into a bench role if Andy Pages makes it back.

    Freddie Freeman went 3-for-5 in his return to the Dodgers lineup Tuesday against the Reds.

    It wasn’t exactly vintage Freeman, as he had just one hard-hit ball and that barely rating at 95.8 mph, but he had as many hits as in his previous nine games this month combined. The three tonight put him at 2,590 for his career, tying him with Vladimir Guerrero for 87th place all-time.

    Sal Stewart finished 0-for-4 with three strikeouts against the Dodgers on Tuesday.

    It seemed like JJ Wetherholt’s injury might clinch NL Rookie of the Year honors for Stewart, but Stewart hasn’t exactly set himself apart since then. He did homer the day Wetherholt went on the IL on Aug. 30, but in 14 games since, he’s hit .259 with one extra-base hit (a double) and two RBI. He is still second in the majors in RBI with 107, which figures to carry a whole lot of weight with some.
