C. Javier - SP

HOU

Cristian Javier wasn't involved in the decision after allowing four runs in five innings Friday against the Guardians.

Javier wound up with just two missed swings and two strikeouts tonight. His season strikeout rate currently sits at 24.8%, which is well down from 33.2% last year. Fortunately, his walk rate has also shrunk and he's still generating plenty of soft contact. However, his velocity is down about one mph and his stuff right now just isn't as good as it was in 2022.

R. Pressly - RP

HOU

Ryan Pressly took a blown save after giving up a run in the ninth Friday against the Guardians.

Pressly got the first two batters he faced before a JosÃ© RamÃrez walk and a Josh Naylor double tied the game. It was his second blown save in 13 chances this year, but he's still quite secure in his job.

J. Abreu - 1B

HOU

JosÃ© Abreu went 2-for-7 with a three-run homer against the Guardians on Friday.

Abreu's 377-foot drive to the opposite field was one of the most impressive feats he's pulled off this season, but the rest of his night wasn't great. He still seems to be a ways off from being useful in mixed leagues.

$4600

K. Tucker - RF

HOU

Kyle Tucker had two hits, two RBI and two steals versus the Guardians on Friday.

Tucker hasn't been doing a whole lot of running lately, but he's 10-for-11 when he does decide to go this year. While he's not hitting quite up to expectations, there's still a good chance he'll wind up providing something close to first-round value this year.

M. Taylor - CF

MIN

Michael A. Taylor hit a two-run homer in the fifth and delivered a sac fly in the 10th to knock in all of Minnesota's runs Friday in a 3-2 win over Toronto.

Taylor was losing playing time to Nick Gordon for a spell, but with Gordon on the IL, he's again getting the vast majority of the time in center and he's hit nine homers in 174 plate appearances. He's also 10-for-10 stealing bases. He's not doing enough in the other categories to justify using him in shallow leagues, but he's been pretty solid for Minnesota.

J. Duran - RP

MIN

Jhoan Duran earned a victory after throwing scoreless ninth and 10th innings versus the Blue Jays on Friday.

Duran maintained a 2-2 tie in the ninth and then got the win after preventing the automatic runner from scoring in the 10th. He has just one save in the last month, but he's given up only one earned run and posted an 18/3 K/BB ratio in 12 1/3 innings during that span.

Y. Kikuchi - SP

TOR

Yusei Kikuchi threw five innings and allowed two runs against the Twins in a no-decision Friday.

Kikuchi hasn't gotten more than 15 outs in any of his last six starts, but what he's doing is still working well enough. The 3-2 loss in 10 innings tonight was just the fourth time in 13 games that they Jays have been defeated with Kikuchi on the mound.

R. Lewis - 3B

MIN

Royce Lewis singled four times in four at-bats Friday against the Blue Jays.

Lewis was struggling to make contact and get the ball in the air when he did make contact in his first week the Twins, but for one day, at least, he had it all working. He wound up with more hits tonight than the rest of the Twins combined, and he's hitting .270/.270/.459 in nine games since coming off the IL.
