    Bryson Stott is not in the Phillies’ starting lineup for Friday night’s showdown against the Pirates.
    Even coming out of the All-Star break with four consecutive days off, Stott finds himself situated on the bench on Friday night with left-hander Martin Perez toeing the slab for the Pirates. Edmundo Sosa will start in his place at second base and will bat sixth for the Phillies on Friday evening.

    Blake Tidwell will start for the Mets in Friday’s series opener against the Phillies in Philadelphia.
    The 24-year-old right-hander was clobbered for six runs over 3 2/3 innings in his lone start with the Mets this season. He has also struggled at Triple-A Syracuse recently, making him a tough streaming option against a good Phillies’ offense on the road on Friday night.

    Eric Samulski reacts to Max Scherzer's dominant Triple-A rehab start and explains why he could return to last year's form for the Toronto Blue Jays, providing some value in deeper fantasy leagues.
  • BAL Left Fielder #17
    Colton Cowser went 2-for-4 and slugged a go-ahead three-run homer on Thursday night, powering the Orioles to a 4-1 victory over the Rays in Tampa Bay.
    Cowser did his damage off of Edwin Uceta in the sixth inning, crushing a 369-foot (96.7 mph EV) three-run blast that gave the Orioles a 4-1 advantage. The 25-year-old outfielder also led off the fifth inning with a double, though he never advanced past second base. With his two-hit night, Cowser is now hitting .210/.269/.532 with six long balls and 10 RBI.
  • BAL Relief Pitcher #74
    Felix Bautista closed out the Rays on Thursday evening, working a scoreless ninth inning to protect a three-run advantage.
    The 29-year-old right-hander made it look easy in this one, getting Jose Caballero on a called third strike, Kameron Misner on a fly ball to center and Danny Jansen on a called third strike to end it. It took him 21 pitches (12 strikes) to get the job done. On the season, Bautista holds a terrific 2.81 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 34/17 K/BB ratio over 25 2/3 innings to go with 15 saves in 16 save chances. He’s rounding back into form as one of the game’s truly elite closers.
  • BAL Starting Pitcher #50
    Charlie Morton was impressive in Thursday night’s victory over the Rays, racking up seven strikeouts over six innings of one-run baseball.
    The 41-year-old hurler allowed six hits on the night and didn’t walk a batter. The only blemish on his night came on an RBI single off the bat of Danny Jansen in the third inning. Morton generated 13 swings and misses on 84 pitches on the evening — six of those on his curveball which was a major weapon for him — while posting an elite CSW of 36 percent. With the victory, Morton improves to 4-7 on the season to go along with a 5.64 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and a 74/32 K/BB ratio over 67 innings through his first 17 appearances (11 starts). He’ll try to keep the good times rolling when he squares off against the Rangers at home on Tuesday.
  • TB Catcher #19
    Danny Jansen went 1-for-3 and drove in the Rays’ lone run in Thursday evening’s loss to the Orioles.
    Jansen opened the scoring in the ballgame with an RBI single off of Charlie Morton in the third inning that plated Jose Caballero. That would be the extent of their offense in the ballgame and Jansen’s only hit on the night. The 30-year-old backstop has had a rough go at the plate this season, slashing just .196/.306/.342 with six homers and 18 RBI.
  • TB Starting Pitcher #57
    Drew Rasmussen pitched decently in a losing effort against the Orioles on Thursday night, allowing two runs on four hits over his 5 1/3 innings of work.
    The 29-year-old right-hander struck out five batters on the evening while issuing three walks. The Orioles scratched out a run against him in the fourth inning on a two-out RBI single by Ryan O’Hearn. Rasmussen then exited with a man on first and one out in the sixth and that runner ultimately came around to score as well. Rasmussen got 11 swings and misses on 92 pitches on the night, posting a CSW of 27 percent. He’ll look to get back in the win column as he brings a pristine 2.61 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and a 67/18 K/BB ratio (79 1/3 innings) into Wednesday’s showdown against the Royals in Kansas City.
  • PIT Shortstop #7
    Isiah Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-5 and drove in a pair of runs on Thursday as the Pirates topped the Tigers 8-4 in 10 innings to salvage the nightcap of their doubleheader.
    The Pirates scored four runs off of Brant Hurter in the top half of the 10th inning on Thursday, the final two coming on a two-out, two-run knock by Kiner-Falefa that seemingly put the game out of reach. With his two-hit attack, the 30-year-old infielder is now hitting .288/.333/.358 with one homer, 17 RBI and nine stolen bases on the season.
  • PIT 3rd Baseman #19
    Jared Triolo crushed a two-run homer on Thursday evening as the Pirates bested the Tigers in the nightcap of their doubleheader.
    Triolo victimized Tigers’ left-hander Tyler Holton for his 422-foot (106.3 mph EV) to straight away center field in the second inning, extending the Pirates’ early lead to 3-0. That would be his only hit in the contest, finishing the night 1-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts, though he also worked a walk in the 10th inning. On the season, the 27-year-old infielder is slashing a cringe-inducing .179/.276/.308 with three long balls and nine RBI.
  • PIT Starting Pitcher #30
    Paul Skenes delivered another strong performance in a tough-luck no-decision against the Tigers on Thursday, piling up nine strikeouts over six innings of two-run baseball.
    The 23-year-old right-hander scattered three hits on the evening while issuing an uncharacteristic five walks. All of the damage done against him came in the fifth inning on a two-out, two-run double off the bat of Gleyber Torres. Aside from that inning though, Skenes was in complete command. He generated a whopping 21 swings and misses on 105 pitches on the night — 10 of them on his fastball — while posting a strong CSW of 30 percent. Still an inexplicable 4-6 on the season, he’ll bring an impressive 1.85 ERA, 0.88 WHIP and a 106/27 K/BB ratio (102 innings) into Wednesday’s matchup against the Brewers in Milwaukee.
  • DET 3rd Baseman #33
    Colt Keith blasted a ridiculous opposite-field, game-tying two-run homer in the seventh inning on Thursday, but it wasn’t enough to lead the Tigers past the Pirates.
    The Tigers trailed 4-0 heading to the fifth inning where they were able to scratch out two runs off of Paul Skenes. They then put a man on in the seventh inning when Keith somehow clobbered an 0-2 Isaac Matson fastball that was nearly a foot above the strike zone for an opposite-field game-tying 353-foot (93.3 mph EV) two-run shot. Per the venerable Sarah Langs of MLB.com, at 4.22 feet above the ground, it’s the second highest pitch that anyone has hit for a home run this season, and the highest pitch that any Tiger has hit for a home run since pitch tracking began in 2008. Keith also drew a walk in the contest and reached on a fielder’s choice and scored a run in the fifth inning. The 23-year-old infielder finished the night 1-for-4 with a pair of runs scored and two RBI and is now hitting .247/.338/.400 with five homers and 22 RBI on the season.
