Wagaman proved to be a tough out for Gunnar Hoglund and the Athletics’ bullpen in what was an otherwise quiet night for the Marlins’ lineup. Apart from his three hits, he also had three batted balls hit harder than 100 mph and it’s getting difficult to ignore his hot start to the season. He has an acceptable .267 batting average and .731 OPS with solid underlying plate discipline and power metrics while playing every day. That’s a worthwhile player in a lot of leagues.

Bellozo is a real throwback type of pitcher, albeit an ineffective one. He didn’t throw a pitch over 92.7 mph in this game – which is high for him – and forced just three swings-and-misses. Instead, he just moved his cutter all around the strike zone and forced as much soft contact as he could against this talented Athletics lineup. That strategy will often force Bellozo to nibble though and he totally lost the zone during the second inning where he walked three batters, hit another, and gave up a RBI single to Nick Kurtz. His limited skill set makes him uninteresting for even the deepest fantasy leagues.

Lopez sustained the injury while in the field during the first inning of Friday’s battle against the Athletics. He’s currently undergoing further evaluation. Javier Sonaja replaced him at second base on Friday night and could be in line for increased action there if Lopez winds up missing any time.

No word yet on what exactly happened here, but Lopez was replaced when the Marlins took the field in the top half of the second inning. Expect the Marlins to provide an update on his status shortly.

One of those homers was a grand slam of Jack Leiter. The other was a solo blast for Raleigh that gives him 12 homers on the season and 23 RBI over 31 games. The man they call Big Dumper will have some lows because of his swing-and-miss issues, but the power is obviously very legit.

This was a very impressive MLB debut for Hoglund. His fastball had tremendous life, regularly pushing over 20 inches of induced vertical break, and forced six swings-and-misses. He commanded his sinker, changeup, and slider well too and they all coalesced to a fairly stress-free outing. There were barely any troubling moments and things looked remarkably easy overall. All results that come against the Marlins should be taken with a grain of salt, but a start like this from Hoglund should make him an enticing option off the waiver wire. It’s likely he remains in this rotation and if that comes to fruition, his next scheduled start would come against the Mariners.

The homer was O’Hearn’s second in nine games against his longtime organization. He probably shouldn’t have much bad blood, though. The Royals obviously had no idea how to unlock his talent, but they also kept him around on a major league salary for three years longer than his play justified. O’Hearn has excelled in his platoon role this year, batting .303/.384/.579 in 86 plate appearances.
