Ozuna made his return to Atlanta’s lineup for Friday’s showdown at Truist Park after sitting out the club’s previous three-game series north of the border against the Blue Jays due to hip inflammation. The fact that a precautionary MRI earlier this week didn’t reveal any underlying structural issues is extremely encouraging and fantasy managers shouldn’t anticipate the veteran slugger missing any additional games.

Murphy didn’t start the game, but he laced a three-run double off of Joey Wentz to drive in all three of Atlanta’s runs and tie the game at 3-3 in the eighth inning. Murphy has been splitting time with rookie Drake Baldwin, and these were his first RBIs since April 28th, so it was a much-needed big hit for the veteran.

Sale struck out eight and walked two on the day. He only gave up one extra-base hit, so there wasn’t a ton of damage done against him despite those eight hits. Sale’s fastball velocity was up 1.5 mph, and he posted a 39 percent whiff rate and 34 percent CSW on the day, so nothing to worry about here. He’ll next face off against Garrett Crochet and the Red Sox in Fenway Park, which should be quite a duel.

There’s nothing definitive from Atlanta on Strider specifically, but they’ve set their starting rotation through the middle of next week, which means the earliest he’ll potentially return would be Friday’s series opener against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. It’ll likely come down to whether the club wants to give Chris Sale an extra day of rest before his next start. The 26-year-old righty is expected to be re-evaluated this weekend to determine whether he’s ready to rejoin the club’s rotation. There should be some clarity on his status soon.

Rice’s homer off Mitch Spence made it a 10-1 game in the fifth. It was his first homer since he hit two on Apr. 29 and ninth overall. He’s been losing the occasional start because of the desire to include Trent Grisham in the Yankees lineup, but he should retain mixed-league value at least until Giancarlo Stanton returns.

The 23-year-old superstar shortstop led off the game with a double to center off of Tyler Anderson and scored on Adley Rutschman’s triple that Taylor Ward lost in the sun. Henderson then capped off a four-run uprising in the sixth inning with a 386-foot (104.7 mph EV) two-run shot off of Connor Brogdon that extended the Orioles’ advantage to 7-2. With his two-hit effort, Henderson is now hitting .264/.307/.473 with five homers, nine RBI and three stolen bases in his first 32 games on the season.

Yelich’s home run was his seventh of the year and it tied the score at one in the fourth inning. The 33-year-old outfielder is hitting just .208 with a .678 OPS this year, though he does have seven home runs, 26 RBI and eight stolen bases. Fantasy managers have to hang tight with Yelich and hope he turns his average around while providing solid numbers in the other categories.
