  • Paul Goldschmidt slugs fourth homer Wednesday
    Paul Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a solo homer and a walk against the Angels on Wednesday.

    Advice: After drawing a walk in the fourth, Goldschmidt ended the shutout in the sixth inning, putting the Cardinals on the board with a solo homer off Griffin Canning. The 36-year-old first baseman is slashing .206/.291/.300 with four homers, 20 runs scored, 15 RBI, and two steals across 181 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:22 pm
     
  • Ty France goes deep as Mariners top Royals
    Ty France clubbed his fourth home run of the season on Wednesday, helping to lead the Mariners to a 4-2 victory over the visiting Royals.

    Advice: France blasted his 414-foot solo shot off of Royals’ right-hander Alec Marsh in the fourth inning, increasing the M’s early advantage to 2-0. He finished the afternoon 1-for-4 and is now hitting .243/.295/.368 with the aforementioned four long balls and 14 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:56 pm
     
  • Mets officially call up Mark Vientos
    Mets recalled 3B Mark Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: The Mets probably should have swapped Brett Baty out here and given Vientos a real chance at third base. Instead, those two apparently will split time for now. Vientos went 3-for-7 with a homer in his earlier stint with the Mets this season. He was hitting .284/.376/.500 with six homers in 133 plate appearances for Norfolk. He might eventually be a mixed-league option if he becomes an everyday guy. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:30 am
     
  • Summoned from Triple-A
    The Mets recalled Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday.

    Advice: He'll assume the 26-man active roster spot of infielder Joey Wendle, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Vientos will likely be limited to a short-side platoon role at third base behind the lefty-hitting Brett Baty while he's up with the big club. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:10 am
     
  • Set to restart rehab stint
    LeMahieu (foot) is expected to begin a minor-league rehab assignment Thursday or Friday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu had embarked upon a rehab stint April 23 but lasted only one inning due to soreness in his injured right foot. He's been ramping back up of late by taking live batting practice and fielding grounders, and he recently resumed running the bases. Per Joyce, LeMahieu's restarted rehab assignment will begin with Double-A Somerset and is expected to include "a decent amount of games." Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:02 am

  • Pops third homer
    Raley went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Astros on Tuesday.

    Advice: Raley continues to profile as one of the inconsistent Mariners' more reliable hitters after a slow start to his team tenure, with Tuesday's homer his second in as many games. Raley's season average and OPS are up to a solid .265 and .729, respectively, and he sports a .357/.419/.714 slash line over the 31 plate appearances encompassing his last nine games.

  • Logs steal Tuesday
    Goldschmidt went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Goldschmidt has gone 6-for-19 (.316) over the last four games, adding three RBI and three runs scored in that span, though he's also struck out 10 times. Any progress is a positive for the first baseman -- he went 0-for-27 over seven games to begin May. On the year, he's at a .205/.287/.282 slash line with three home runs, 14 RBI, 19 runs scored and two steals through 40 contests. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 10:38 pm
     
  • Joey Meneses goes 4-for-4 in win over White Sox
    Joey Meneses went 4-for-4 with a pair of RBI to lead the Nationals to a 6-3 win over the White Sox in the opening contest of Tuesday’s doubleheader.

    Advice: Meneses put Washington ahead in the fifth inning with a two-run single to left field off White Sox starter Chris Flexen. He capped off a four-hit effort with a leadoff single in the eighth inning before being lifted for a pinch-runner. Rotoworld Tuesday, 4:31 pm
     
  • Promotion imminent
    The Mets will recall Vientos from Triple-A Syracuse on Wednesday, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Vientos has slashed .233/.343/.400 across 35 plate appearances since being sent down to Triple-A on April 30, and he will now return to New York -- presumably forming a platoon at third base with Brett Baty. Vientos went 3-for-7 with a two-run homer during his first stint in the majors. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:26 pm
