    • Homers, extends hitting streak
      Diaz went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Twins.

      Advice: Diaz collected two hits including his fifth homer of the season, extending his hitting streak to 13 games and his on-base streak to 22 games in the process. He's batting .351 over the course of the hitting streak, though he has just one home run, one double, four RBI and six runs scored to show for his efforts. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago

    • Exits as precaution
      Torres (groin) did not suffer a serious injury Thursday against the Orioles, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Torres was removed in the sixth inning, though manager Aaron Boone noted that he was taking a cautious approach and that the issue isn't expected to be serious. Nevertheless, it will be worth confirming that Torres will be available Friday as the Yankees start a series against Atlanta. Rotowire.com Today, 4:27 pm

    • Leaves game early
      Torres left in the sixth inning of Thursday's game versus the Orioles due to tightness in his right groin.

      Advice: Prior to leaving the game, Torres hit a solo home run in the second inning and then later flied out in the fourth. Ben Rice was substituted into the game at first base for Torres, who started at second. Oswaldo Cabrera shifted over from third to second base. Rotowire.com Today, 3:28 pm

    • Gleyber Torres exits Thursday with groin tightness
      Gleyber Torres was removed from Thursday’s game against the Orioles with right groin tightness.

      Advice: Torres was 1-for-2 with a solo homer before leaving the contest after five innings with New York trailing 11-5 at the time. It sounds like his early exit was merely for precautionary reasons, but that’s purely speculation at this juncture. There should be an update on his status shortly. Rotoworld Today, 3:23 pm

    • Nursing back issue
      Herrera is unavailable to play Thursday against the Giants due to a back issue, Katie Woo of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Herrera's back evidently locked up on him sometime around his arrival at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Ala. It partly explains why he's not in the lineup, although Pedro Pages has been the Cardinals' preferred option at catcher lately, anyway. At this point, Herrera should be considered day-to-day. St. Louis has a team day off Friday, so he'll have an extra day of rest before the series versus the Giants picks back up Saturday. Rotowire.com Today, 1:50 pm

    • Yandy Diaz homers as Rays defeat Twins in 10
      Yandy Diaz hit a two-run homer and doubled in an extra-inning loss to the Rays on Thursday.

      Advice: Diaz absolutely clobbered a two-run homer that went an estimated 439 feet to extend the Rays’ lead to 6-2 in the ninth. It turns out the Rays would need those runs, as Minnesota scored four to tie it in the bottom half of the frame. Diaz is starting to heat up again, and he’s been much better than the .264/.327/.368 slash suggests after his slow start. Rotoworld Today, 1:30 pm

    • Jesse Winker hits solo homer in loss to D-Backs
      Jesse Winker went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in a loss to the D-Backs on Thursday.

      Advice: Winker took Ryne Nelson deep in the sixth inning to cut the Diamondbacks’ lead to 4-2. The outfielder has homered in back-to-back games and now has eight roundtrippers on the year. It’s not quite the version we saw in Cincinnati a few years ago, but Winker has revitalized his career in DC with a slash of .270/.381/.421. Rotoworld Today, 12:33 pm
       
    • Maikel Garcia gets a day off on Thursday
      Maikel Garcia is not in the Royals’ lineup for Thursday’s game against the Athletics.

      Advice: The 24-year-old is hitting just .145 in 16 games in June with 12 strikeouts. He does have four steals and 10 runs scored and is coming off a month of May where he hit .305, so this might be nothing but a brief cold stretch. The Royals will hope a day off helps him get back on track. In the meantime, Garrett Hampson will start at second base and hit eighth with Nick Loftin moving over to third base.
