Welcome to the TheFantasyFix.com’s nightly fantasy baseball recap, where you’ll find updates on bullpen usage, lineup construction, injuries, and transactions. No matter the format, we got you covered with everything you need to know to help you win your league.

What’s not mentioned below: The Baltimore Orioles and Tampa Bay Rays are currently tied up in the tenth inning of their game at six a piece. Chris Davis is 2-3 with a home run and two RBI; while Evan Longoria has two home runs for the Rays. Bryce Harper left the game for the Nationals with what’s being called left quad tightness. The Nationals currently lead the St. Louis Cardinals in the seventh inning, 3-2. Nats’ starter Max Scherzer has danced around trouble with his eleven hits given up, though he’s only given up the two runs; he also has fanned 10 Cardinals batters.

IF YOU ONLY READ ONE THING…

Matt Harvey was an easy pick today pitching at home against the Philadelphia Phillies, but the New York Mets ace was responsible for four runs over 6.1 innings of work. Harvey struck out nine batters in the game, so it’s unfair to say the right-hander had a bad day on the mound. That being said, one would expect him to mow through Philly’s lineup without a problem. The two of the runs came from an Erik Kratz double, with a Cesar Hernandez RBI infield single following up shortly afterwards. With a 7-3 lead in the seventh, Harvey served up a solo home run to outfielder Darnell Sweeney. Luckily, the Mets offense stayed hot, smacking three home runs to lead the team to a 9-4 victory. Yoenis Cespedes was among the three to go deep for the Mets, smacking his 10^th home run since being traded to the Mets, his 28^th overall on the season. Rookie outfielder Michael Conforto drove in two, including swatting his fifth home run of the year. Aaron Nola took his second loss of the season for the Phils, allowing six runs on nine hits across four innings of work.

JUST AS WE EXPECTED…

Henry Owens was chased from the game after just an inning and two thirds of work, getting tagged for seven runs by the New York Yankees offense in Boston’s 13-8 loss against their division rivals. Owens gave up back-to-back home runs to Yankees’ first baseman Greg Bird and catcher John Ryan Murphy, and was pulled shortly after that. The Yankees offense was on fire this afternoon, launching five home runs in the game, including home runs from Carlos Beltran and Didi Gregorius. Both Didi and Beltran struggled mightily at the beginning of the season, though they have both found their offensive stride, raising their batting averages to .272 (Gregorius) and .282 (Beltran), respectively. Former Red Sox shortstop and current Yankee second baseman Stephen Drew collected three hits in four at-bats against his former team this afternoon, including his 17^th home run of the season. Though Drew has been unspectacular this entire season, he has provided the Yankees with an average glove at second, while also providing some above average power from the position. Masahiro Tanaka took home his 11^th win of the season, tossing 6.1 innings of four run ball, walking one and striking out five. One of the mistakes Tanaka made in the start came via Xander Bogaerts’ 5^th home run of the season in the sixth inning. Bogaerts had a fine day at the dish, going 3-5 with the home run, while scoring a run and driving in three.

The Toronto Blue Jays won’t stop winning, beating Trevor Bauer and the Cleveland Indians tonight, 5-1. Bauer was chased in the second inning after giving up five runs on six hits, while recording just one out in the inning. Surprisingly, the Blue Jays didn’t hit a single home run in the game, though it obviously didn’t matter as R.A. Dickey pitched a complete game, allowing one run on four hits, striking out six. Dickey saw his record improve to 10-10 after what was one of his best starts of the season, lowering his ERA to 4.09. Josh Donaldson went 3-4 for the Jays, driving in three runs and scoring twice. The Jays remain a game and a half up on the Yankees in the AL East after the win.

BUT WE DIDN’T SEE THIS COMING…

Sonny Gray didn’t look like himself on the mound today, as he lasted just five innings for the Oakland A’s in the team’s 9-4 loss against the Los Angeles Angels. Gray gave up six runs, all earned, on eight hits, walking one and striking out just two batters. All of the damage to Gray came in the first two innings, with the big blow coming off the bat of Albert Pujols, as he hit his 35^th home run of the season, number 555 on his career, tying him with Manny Ramirez at 14^th on the all-time home run list. The loss left Gray with a 12-7 record on the season, though he still owns a dazzling 2.36 ERA on the season. Look for the right-hander to bounce back in his next start. As for his counterpart, Andrew Heaney went seven strong innings for the Angels, giving up three runs on seven hits, walking none and striking out six batters. Aside from the home run he served up to A’s catcher Josh Phegley, Heaney was otherwise flawless in the start. Brett Lawrie hit his 15^th home run of the season in the eighth inning, a solo shot, off Angels’ reliever Joe Smith, though it only cut the deficit in half at 8-4.
