Goldschmidt will get a chance out of the leadoff spot during Saturday afternoon’s matinee at Yankee Stadium. The 37-year-old veteran hasn’t exactly set the fantasy landscape ablaze this season, but he’s been a stabilizing presence for New York as a platoon first baseman. Ben Rice is on the bench to open Saturday’s contest with veteran southpaw Matthew Boyd taking the ball for Chicago.

Fried was lifted from his final first-half start after allowing four runs — three earned — on 73 pitches (39 strikes) over three innings. He struck out two and also issued three walks. The 31-year-old fantasy ace will certainly benefit from next week’s All-Star break, but blister issues tend to be complicated matters and usually require rest before they can be truly resolved. The hope here for the Yankees and fantasy managers is that they managed to catch it before the issue became a greater concern. He’s made four trips to the injured list over the last eight years due to blister issues. There should be a definitive update on his status and outlook at some point later this weekend. We’ll have updates on the developing situation as it unfolds.

You hit three homers, and have the potential fourth round-tripper stolen by a brilliant defensive play, you get to bat second in the ensuing contest. Those are the rules. Bellinger has been sizzling-hot at the dish over the final handful of first-half contests, batting .464 (13-for-28) with four homers and 10 RBI over his last seven games. Jasson Domínguez takes a seat with Bellinger patrolling left field and Trent Grisham in center field on Saturday against Cubs lefty Matthew Boyd.

This was a masterful start by the newly minted All-Star Rodón. It was his first time completing eight innings as a Yankee and he did so by burying slider after slider on these Cubs hitters. That pitch forced 13 swings-and-misses on its own and looked even more dominant than that at times. Also, teammate Aaron Judge helped him out with two diving catches and a home run robbery of Pete Crow-Armstrong. Rodón will close out the first half with a 3.08 ERA over 119 2/3 innings with 135 strikeouts as one of the more impressive pitchers in the American League.

Mountcastle won’t come off the 60-day injured list until later this month, but he’s going to get back into game action next week as he continues to work his way back from a hamstring strain that put him on the shelf back in late May.

Mountcastle won’t come off the 60-day injured list until late July, but he’s going to get back into game action starting on July 22. The 28-year-old first baseman is working his way back from a hamstring strain that put him on the shelf back in late May.

This certainly qualifies as an unexpected surprise. Encarnacion-Strand has barely played for Cincinnati over the last week with Noelvi Marte emerging as the club’s starting third baseman and Spencer Steer occupying first base. The 25-year-old former top prospect is hitting just .208/.234/.377 with six homers and 19 RBI across 137 plate appearances over 36 games. The logical explanation here is that the Reds would rather have him playing everyday at the Triple-A level instead of languishing on the bench.
