Felix Hernandez - S - Mariners

In his return from the disabled list, Felix Hernandez surrendered three runs and eight hits in six innings Friday against the Astros.

Hernandez looked fine tonight and got himself a win in a 13-3 game, but this is about what should be expected from him these days. He gave up two homers tonight, bringing his total allowed to eight in just 32 2/3 innings. Until he puts a run of strong outings together, he should be treated as a spot starter in mixed leagues.
Jun 24 - 2:00 AM
Yovani Gallardo - S - Mariners

Yovani Gallardo picked up his first career save with three scoreless innings Friday against the Astros.

Gallardo, demoted to the pen earlier this week, made his first relief appearance since making three as a rookie in 2007 and finished off the Mariners' 13-3 win. Obviously, three three-inning blowout saves are the only ones that he's a candidate for.
Jun 24 - 1:57 AM
Joe Musgrove - S - Astros

Joe Musgrove was pounded for nine runs and 12 hits in 3 2/3 innings by the Mariners on Friday.

If the Astros had their bullpen set up more like they did last year, with Chris Devenski and Michael Feliz ready to pitch longer outings, they might have been able to stay in this game. As is, they kept Musgrove in the contest even as they were down 7-1 after three, giving him the chance to allow two more runs in the fourth. Musgrove's time in the rotation needs to come to at least a temporary end.
Jun 24 - 1:55 AM
Kyle Seager - 3B - Mariners

Kyle Seager went 2-for-3 with a homer, a walk and three runs scored Friday versus the Astros.

Seager still hasn't had a hot streak this year, but it's going to come at some point and it's not like he's been a disaster thus far. His .257/.333/.413 line is disappointing, but he's still on pace for 92 RBI.
Jun 24 - 1:53 AM
Danny Valencia - 1B - Mariners

Danny Valencia went 4-for-5 with two RBI versus the Astros on Friday.

Valencia's hot streak had fizzled of late, but he's reached base eight times the last two days, raising his OBP from .315 to .333. The Mariners should still be thinking about a first-base upgrade prior to the trade deadline. Valencia isn't bad, but he could be more useful as a part-timer.
Jun 24 - 1:50 AM
Lucas Duda - 1B - Mets

Lucas Duda homered and doubled twice Friday as the Mets crushed the Giants 11-4.

The second double would have been a homer pretty much anywhere other than San Francisco, and it even drew a replay review there, but it was ruled to have bounced off the top of the wall in right-center. Duda now has 13 homers and 13 doubles, which suggests that he should have more than 27 RBI and 20 runs scored this season. However, 10 of those homers have been solo shots, and the Mets haven't had much hitting behind him in the order this year.
Jun 24 - 1:46 AM
Michael Conforto - OF - Mets

Michael Conforto went 3-for-5 with two RBI against the Giants on Friday.

Conforto, who has had some problems with a stiff back, didn't play Wednesday before the off day Thursday. He needs to hit to ensure his presence in the lineup now that Yoenis Cespedes is back. The Mets would be crazy to sit him with any regularity, but they are the Mets.
Jun 24 - 1:43 AM
Seth Lugo - S - Mets

Seth Lugo yielded four runs in 5 2/3 innings Friday in a win over the Giants.

Fortunately for him, Lugo didn't need to be at his best tonight, and he obviously wasn't in giving up seven hits and three walks to an awful Giants lineup that was minus Buster Posey. He has another somewhat advantageous matchup coming up against the Marlins, but he's still a risky play in NL-only leagues right now.
