Fraley returns to Cincinnati’s crowded position player mix ahead of Saturday’s game against the Rockies after missing just over two weeks recovering from a shoulder strain. The 30-year-old on-base machine figures to play regularly against right-handed pitching in a platoon role.

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.

Evidently, the Rockies had no intentions of letting De La Cruz beat them in this one. He was down 0-2 in the first inning and took four straight balls to draw the walk. Then, he tripled in his next at-bat and enough was enough. Colorado walked him intentionally in his next three triple to plate. Weird, interesting, strange, and a big boon to his .853 OPS as we near the All-Star break.

This is what it was supposed to look like from Burns. A home run by Ryan McMahon was literally the only blemish on his line here. Up until that blast, he’d struck out six batters through three innings with 11 swings-and-misses on his ledger. Then, he walked the lead-off batter in the fourth inning and McMahon socked a hanging curveball – one of only two curves he threw all game – out of the park. After that, Burns retired nine of the last 10 batters he faced. Ryan Ritter was the only one to reach base and it was on a measly infield single. Burns’ fastball was dominant in the zone and he had pinpoint command of his slider on the outer half against right-handed batters. Of course, this was against the Rockies, but it was still nice to see Burns flash his dominance and complete six innings for the first time as a big leaguer as he gears up for a huge second half.

Spoiling the shutout bid by taking Brad Keller deep in the ninth, Judge was the Yankees’ only offense today in the 5-2 loss. The one out he made was actually a 409-foot blast that would have been a homer in 24 ballparks. The actual homer was hit 388 feet to right. It was the 350th of his career, tying him with Chili Davis for 103rd place all-time. With two more, he’ll move into the top 100.

It’s the first time Acuña has been moved out of the leadoff spot since making his season debut back in late May. The move might lead to a decrease in stolen base opportunities, if it becomes permanent, but that would be offset by an uptick in RBI chances over the final two-plus months. It’ll be Jurickson Profar leading off on Saturday afternoon at Busch Stadium.
