CLE Starting Pitcher #32

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Gavin Williams took his second loss of the year after giving up five runs in six innings Tuesday against the Royals.

Williams gave up 11 hard-hit balls, including homers to Isaac Collins and Michael Massey. It’s the second time in three starts that he’s been ineffective, though the outing in between was a nine-strikeout gem against the Rays. He still has a 3.28 ERA on the year. He’s due to face the Twins on Sunday.

BOS 3rd Baseman #20

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Nick Sogard was held out of the Red Sox’ starting lineup on Friday due to a nagging side issue.

Red Sox’ skipper noted that the issue wasn’t severe enough to warrant a trip to the injured list, but was bothering Sogard enough that they wanted to give him a day off. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is starting in his place at second base and batting seventh for the Red Sox on Friday night against the Guardians.

Hyeseong Kim

LAD Shortstop #6

Dodgers optioned INF/OF Hyeseong Kim to Triple-A Oklahoma City.

The 27-year-old utilityman has been struggling badly at the plate over the past couple of weeks, so the Dodgers will give him some time in an everyday role at the Triple-A level to get himself back on track. Santiago Espinal returned from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take his place on the Dodgers’ active roster.

Santiago Espinal

LAD 3rd Baseman #21

Dodgers selected the contract of INF Santiago Espinal from Triple-A Oklahoma City.

Just one day after Espinal was sent outright to Triple-A Oklahoma City, he rejoins the Dodgers to replace the slumping Hyeseong Kim. Espinal will once again serve in a reserve infielder role and can be ignored for fantasy purposes.

Brant Hurter

DET Relief Pitcher #48

Tigers transferred LHP Brant Hurter to the 60-day injured list.

Hurter landed on the injured list last week due to lumbar spine inflammation and now it looks like he’s going to be shelved for much longer than originally anticipated. Beau Brieske was activated from the 60-day injured list on Friday to take his spot on the club’s 40-man roster.

Beau Brieske

DET Relief Pitcher #4

Tigers activated RHP Beau Brieske from the 60-day injured list.

Brieske had been sidelined since late in spring training due to a left adductor strain. He’ll give a floundering Tigers’ bullpen another fresh arm for their weekend series against the White Sox in Chicago.

Casey Mize

DET Starting Pitcher #12

Tigers placed RHP Casey Mize on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 28, with right adductor inflammation.

The Tigers had been hopeful that Mize would be able to avoid a return trip to the injured list after leaving Wednesday’s start with another groin issue, but they’ll take the cautious approach and sit him down to make sure it heals properly. Beau Brieske was activated from the 60-day injured list to take his place on the active roster on Friday.

Jung Hoo Lee

SF Right Fielder #51

Giants activated OF Jung Hoo Lee from the 10-day injured list.

The 27-year-old outfielder has been shelved since May 22 due to a back strain. He’s starting in right field and batting sixth for the Giants for Friday’s series opener against the Rockies in Colorado.

Tyler Mahle

SF Starting Pitcher #54

Giants placed RHP Tyler Mahle on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 27, with a left hamstring strain.

On the day that the Giants get Logan Webb (knee) back from the injured list, their rotation loses an arm as Mahle lands on the injured list. No word yet on how long the 31-year-old hurler will be shelved for.

Logan Webb

SF Starting Pitcher #62

Giants activated RHP Logan Webb from the 15-day injured list.

The 29-year-old right-hander will make his triumphant return to the Giants’ rotation on Friday against the Rockies. He missed just over three weeks due to right knee issues. Webb returns to a 5.06 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and a 42/15 K/BB ratio across 48 innings.

Moisés Ballesteros

CHC Designated Hitter #25
Moisés Ballesteros is not in the Cubs’ starting lineup for Friday night’s tilt against the Cardinals.

The 22-year-old has been mired in a prolonged slump at the dish, so giving him a night off to clear his head isn’t the worst possible idea. Michael Conforto will serve as the team’s designated hitter in his place and will bat seventh against Cardinals’ right-hander Andre Pallante on Friday evening in St. Louis.
