  • BAL 2nd Baseman #7

    Jackson Holliday went 2-for-4 with a double, an RBI, and a run scored in a win over the Guardians.
    The 20-year-old is now 5-for-14 with two extra-base hits in four games since beginning his second stint in the majors. He’s too good of a hitter to continue to struggle the way he did earlier in the season, but it may take a few years before his power comes to a level that makes him a fantasy asset in that category, He should provide a solid batting average with the chance for good counting stats in a strong lineup the rest of the way.
  • ATH 1st Baseman #16

    Nick Kurtz smashed a two-run homer in a loss to the Blue Jays on Friday.
    Kurtz has had some ups and downs in his rookie campaign, but there’s just no denying that there’s enormous power in his left-handed bat. He’s homered in back-to-back games and he’s gone deep four times in nine July chances. Kurtz may not ever be a major contributor in the average category and won’t steal bags, but that power isn’t going anywhere. If anything, it’s likely to improve as he grows more comfortable facing MLB pitching.
    Players to watch in MLB All-Star Futures Game
    James Schiano spotlights the rising stars to watch in this weekend's 2025 All-Star Futures Game in Atlanta.
  • TOR Relief Pitcher #23
    Jeff Hoffman gave up three runs in an inning of relief against the Athletics on Friday.
    The good news is that Hoffman didn’t blow a save nor did he take a loss. The bad news is everything else. He gave up a solo homer, uncorked a wild pitch with a runner on third, and gave up an RBI single to see his ERA rise to a very unhealthy 5.3. Hoffman should remain the closer and had looked fine as of late prior to this outing, but there’s a little more volatility here than some other fantasy stoppers.
  • ATH Starting Pitcher #40
    Luis Severino allowed five runs — one earned — over 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Blue Jays on Friday.
    Severino was hurt by his defense, and it’s worth noting that the right-hander was able to strike out eight before he was pulled. The 31-year-old also gave up seven hits, and really struggled after the third inning. The 31-year-old is now an ugly 2-11 on the season, with an ERA of 5.16 that fits the crime. He’ll still likely be one of the first starters after the break for the A’s against the Guardians.
  • TOR Starting Pitcher #31
    Max Scherzer struck out eight over six innings of three-run baseball to get a win over the Athletics on Friday in a 7-6 win for the Blue Jays.
    It took until the weekend before the All-Star break, but Scherzer finally has his first win as a member of the Blue Jays. He blanked the A’s for the first five innings, but he gave up a three-spot in the sixth to turn a very impressive outing into one that still counts as a quality start. Scherzer will take a 4.70 ERA and 24/7 K/BB over 23 innings into the second half.
  • ATL 3rd Baseman #27
    Austin Riley was pulled from Friday evening’s battle against the Cardinals due to tightness in his lower abdomen.
    No word yet on the severity of the issue or how much time the 28-year-old slugger may stand to miss (if any). Expect more clarity on his status prior to Saturday’s contest against the Cardinals.
  • MIA Starting Pitcher #27
    The Marlins announced that right-hander Edward Cabrera was removed from Friday’s start against the Orioles due to posterior elbow discomfort.
    The 27-year-old hurler downplayed the injury while chatting with reporters after the game, saying that it was nothing major and merely a feeling of fatigue. Marlins’ skipper Clayton McCullough noted that they’ll have more clarity on the injury in a couple of days, so it sounds like he may undergo some precautionary imaging just to be on the safe side. For now at least, it sounds like Cabrera dodged a bullet.
  • SF Center Fielder #51
    Jung Hoo Lee went 3-for-4 with a triple and three RBI in a win over the Dodgers for the Giants on Friday.
    Lee tripled in two runs in the fourth, and he picked up an infield single that scored a run two innings later. The 26-year-old was a disaster in June with a slash of .143/.277/.274, but he’s now hitting .366 in the month of July. A smaller sample, obviously, but it’s encouraging to see some success after those struggles.
  • LAD Starting Pitcher #17
    Shohei Ohtani hit a two-run homer in a loss to the Giants on Friday.
    Ohtani also drew a walk. The homer gives the reigning MVP 32 roundtrippers on the season and 60 RBI over 363 at-bats. Ohtani now has a two-homer lead over Kyle Schwarber — who also homered Friday — in the National League, and he’s on pace for just-under 55 homers after hitting 54 in 2024.
  • SF Shortstop #2
    Willy Adames hit a two-run homer, tripled and drove in three runs to help the Giants to an 8-7 win over the Dodgers on Friday.
    Adames smashed a solo homer in the second inning, and then tripled home two in the fifth to extend the lead for the Giants to 7-2. The 29-year-old has gone deep 12 times in his first season in San Francisco, while the three RBI increases that total to 48. It’s an undeniably nice night at the plate for Adames, but it’s also been an undeniably disappointing season for him as seen in a slash of .225/.312/.382.
  • SF Relief Pitcher #75
    Camilo Doval fired a scoreless inning while picking up a save against the Dodgers on Friday.
    Doval did allow a hit and issue a walk, but he was able to work around that traffic to up his save total to 15 on the year. The right-hander has looked shaky as of late, but he was able to avoid giving up a run; something he’d allowed in four of his last six appearances. Doval will remain the closer for the foreseeable future.
