Red Sox signed OF/DH Jonny Gomes to a two-year, $10 million contract.

It's probably more than most were expecting him to get, but there's no doubt that Gomes can be a weapon if used correctly. The 32-year-old has put up an impressive .894 OPS in his career versus left-handed pitching and belted 18 homers in 2012 for the A's. It will often be an adventure with him in left field defensively, but his bat is well suited for the Green Monster. The Sox seem likely to get a left-handed bat to pair with him.

Friday's game between the Braves and Mets was suspended due to rain.

The Mets tied the score at 5-5 in the bottom of the eighth inning before there was a rain delay going into the top of the ninth. Play will resume Saturday at 6:10 p.m. ET after which the second game of the series will be played.

Chris Young launched a go-ahead three-run homer in the ninth inning in Friday's 6-5 win over the Astros.

The clutch blast capped a big night for the Houston native, as he went 3-for-5 with two runs scored. Young is batting just .189 through 28 games this season, but he still has produced five home runs, 19 RBI, five stolen bases and 15 runs scored. He's worth considering in deeper mixed fantasy leagues.

John Lackey twirled a gem in Friday’s victory over the Indians, allowing just one unearned run on two hits over seven innings.

Lackey matched his season high with eight strikeouts while walking three. He’s been extremely impressive through his first seven starts on the season, posting a 2.72 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 40/11 K/BB ratio over 39 2/3 innings. He’ll look to carry the momentum over from this strong outing when he does battle against the Phillies in Philadelphia on Wednesday.

Jim Henderson was removed from Friday's game against the Pirates due to an apparent leg injury.

No word yet on the extent of the injury or how much time he may miss. Francisco Rodriguez, and not John Axford, replaced Henderson with the Brewers clinging to a one-run lead. The team should release an update on his status after the game.

Chris Davis went 3-for-4 with his major league-leading 16th homer in a win over the Blue Jays on Friday.

The home run was a solo shot. Davis cooled down a bit after his ridiculous start to the season, but now he's red-hot once again. The 27-year-old slugger has gone deep in three straight games and five out of his last seven. Meanwhile, his batting line sits at a ridiculous .337/.426/.723 through 47 games. We could be witness a true breakout here.

Curtis Granderson (fractured knuckle) will miss a minimum of four weeks.

Granderson sustained the injury when he was hit by a pitch during the fifth inning of Friday's game against the Rays. It's a tough blow for the Yankees, who will turn back to Ichiro Suzuki and Brennan Boesch to carry the load while Granderson is sidelined.

David Phelps was removed in the eighth inning of Friday's game against the Rays after being drilled by a line drive on the right forearm.

It's a very tough break for Phelps who had pitched fairly well in the game. He logged a career-high 7 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on six hits while striking out three. He retired the first 13 hitters he faced on the night before James Loney doubled with one out in the fifth. The Yankees should have an update on his status after the conclusion of the game.

Curtis Granderson suffered a fractured knuckle on his left pinkie finger after getting hit by a pitch in the fifth inning of Friday's contest against the Rays.

The Yankees haven't yet announced a timetable for how much time he may miss, but will comment further on his status after the game. It's a potentially devastating blow for Granderson who finally returned from the disabled list on May 14 after missing the start of the season with a fractured forearm from being hit by a pitch during spring training.

Anibal Sanchez twirled an absolute gem against the Twins on Friday, surrendering just one hit and three walks while striking out 12 over nine shutout innings.

He carried his no-hitter into the ninth inning, where a one-out single from Joe Mauer spoiled the memorable night. He was in complete command on the evening, at one point retiring 18 consecutive hitters. He was making a bid for his second career no-hitter, already having turned the feat against the Diamondbacks on September 6, 2006. Sanchez been absolutely dynamite for the Tigers and fantasy owners alike this season, compiling a 5-4 record, 2.38 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 80/17 K/BB ratio over his first 64 1/3 innings. He’ll look to follow up with an encore performance when he takes on the Pirates in Pittsburgh on Wednesday.

Curtis Granderson was removed from Friday's game against the Rays in the fifth inning after he was hit in the left hand by a pitch.

Granderson remained in the game to run for himself, but continued to flex and shake his hand. However, Ichiro Suzuki replaced him in right field in the bottom of the inning. He's likely heading for X-rays and the team should have an update on his status shortly.
