  • Getting breather Saturday
    Wong is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals, Christopher Smith of The Springfield Republican reports.

    Advice: Wong will begin Saturday's game in the dugout after going 2-for-4 while scoring Boston's lone run in Friday's loss. The lefty-hitting Reese McGuire will start at catcher and bat seventh against Washington right-hander Jake Irvin. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:21 am
     
  • Keeps flashing power
    Lee went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored Friday against the Guardians.

    Advice: Lee took Carlos Carrasco deep in the seventh inning to tally his fourth home run of the season, three of which have come in his last 11 games. He's gone 11-for-33 in that span, also chipping in five RBI and four runs scored. Lee remains in a near even split for playing time with Martin Maldonado behind the plate.

  • Racks up three hits in win
    Melendez went 3-for-4 with a triple in Friday's 2-1 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Melendez hasn't been able to string good performances together, but he's 7-for-24 (.292) over eight games in May. The outfielder was able to get aboard in the ninth inning before Garrett Hampson entered as a pinch runner and scored on Adam Frazier's home run. Melendez is up to a .202/.260/.395 slash line with four homers, 12 RBI, 10 runs scored, six doubles, two triples and two stolen bases through 123 plate appearances. He continues to be a drag in batting average, but he's got intriguing power upside in formats where he's still catcher-eligible after playing 10 games behind the plate in 2023.

  • Homer, double in win
    Campusano went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a double in Friday's 2-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Advice: Campusano opened the scoring with a third-inning solo shot. He added a double in the ninth, and pinch runner Tyler Wade scored on Luis Arraez's walkoff single. Campusano has reached base safely in each of his last six games, going 7-for-19 (.368) with two walks and six RBI in that span. The catcher is up to three homers, 10 doubles, 23 RBI, 17 runs scored and a .283/.323/.442 slash line through 35 contests this season in a starting role behind the plate.

  • Scores three times in win
    Contreras went 1-for-3 with two walks and three runs scored in Friday's win over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Contreras was the offensive catalyst for the Brewers on Friday night as he crossed the plate a team-high three times. He also collected his third multi-walk game of the season as part of a fantastic start to 2024. The 26-year-old catcher is slashing .340/.420/.520 with five homers, 30 RBI and 35 runs scored over 174 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:58 pm
     
  • Luis Campusano homers in victory over Dodgers
    Luis Campusano hit a solo homer in a victory Friday over the Dodgers for the Padres.

    Advice: Campusano got the only hit of the game for the Padres while Tyler Glasnow was in the game, and it was a solo homer to give San Diego a 1-0 lead. The 25-year-old catcher remains a solid — and quite frankly, underrated — catching option, as he’s hit three homers, driven in 23 runs and slashed .283/.323/.442. Rotoworld Friday, 8:58 pm
     
  • Idle Friday
    O'Hoppe isn't in the Angels' lineup Friday versus the Royals.

    Advice: O'Hoppe will get a breather Friday after tallying six hits across his last three games. While he rests, Matt Thaiss will fill in as Los Angeles' backstop and bat sixth. Rotowire.com Friday, 6:11 pm
