Randy Wells

TEX Relief Pitcher

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Randy Wells suffered a loss despite an eight-inning complete game Sunday, giving up three runs on six hits and three walks in a defeat at the hands of the Cardinals.

Wells was spotted a 2-1 lead in the seventh inning but served up solo shots in the seventh and eighth to fall to 7-6 on the year. He’s put together a nice second half, holding a 4.04 ERA and 1.21 WHIP over 14 starts to give him some momentum heading into the offseason. He should be locked into a rotation spot for next year despite a 4.99 ERA and 1.39 WHIP for the season.

STL 1st Baseman #49

Blaze Jordan will start at third base and bat eighth for the Cardinals in his MLB debut against the Twins on Friday evening in Minneapolis.

With Nolan Gorman optioned to Triple-A, the runway is there for Jordan to get everyday at-bats with the Cardinals to show what he can do. The power potential is legit here, which may make him an intriguing addition in deeper mixed leagues.

Leody Taveras

BAL Center Fielder #30
Leody Taveras is not in the Orioles’ starting lineup for Friday evening’s tilt against the Padres.

Julian Fernández

WSH Relief Pitcher #65

Nationals designated RHP Julian Fernández for assignment.

The 30-year-old right-hander loses his spot on the Nationals’ 40-man roster after the club claimed Jhancarlos Lara off of waivers from the Braves on Friday. Fernández pitched well in three appearances for the Nationals this season, registering a 2.25 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and a 3/2 K/BB ratio over four innings. He could attract some interest on waivers.

Tommy Pham

FA Left Fielder #39

Orioles released OF Tommy Pham.

The 38-year-old had requested his release. Pham was signed to a minor league deal on May 16 and hit .197/.286/.410 with four homers and 11 RBI in 70 plate appearances at Triple-A Norfolk. He’s now free to peddle his wares on the open market once again.

Shohei Ohtani

LAD Starting Pitcher #17
Shohei Ohtani (knee) is not in the Dodgers’ starting lineup for Friday night’s battle against the White Sox.

Ohtani was removed from Thursday’s game as a precautionary measure due to inflammation in his left knee. The Dodgers have opted to take a very cautious approach here with their two-way superstar and will give him at least an extra night off to rest. Santiago Espinal will fill in as the Dodgers’ designated hitter on Friday and will bat eighth against Anthony Kay and the White Sox.
