Morning Java - 07/10: Murakami's Activation Looms, Ben Rice's Two-Homer Rout, Henderson Returns Sharp

Munetaka Murakami will be activated Friday against the Athletics after a six-week hamstring absence, a real lineup jolt worth grabbing if he was dropped, while Ben Rice homered twice in the Yankees' 12-4 rout of Tampa Bay to reach 28 on the season. Logan Henderson returned from the IL last night with 5.1 strong innings to beat the Cardinals, finishing the first half at 3.18 ERA and locking in as a streaming add. Matt McLain is benched day-to-day with a beat-up calf, and Miami's outfield and bullpen thinned out as Owen Caissie (calf) and John King (ankle) both hit the IL, with Rece Hinds, Janson Junk, and Ryan Gusto called up to backfill.
