    • Slugs first big-league homer
      Rice went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a loss to the Reds on Thursday.

      Advice: Rice hit out of the leadoff spot for the first time as a major leaguer and produced his first big-league home run with a 407-foot solo shot in the fifth inning. The catcher/first baseman has some intriguing qualities befitting of the leadoff role -- he's demonstrated good plate discipline throughout his professional career and has a .360 OBP along with a 7:8 BB:K through 42 plate appearances with the Yankees. Rice's power is an asset too; he hit 15 long balls in 60 minor-league games this season after going deep 20 times in the minors last year. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:31 pm

    • Featured in blowout win
      Jeffers went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, an RBI double, an RBI single and an additional run scored during Thursday's 12-3 win over the Tigers.

      Advice: Although Thursday's contest was called after seven innings due to rain, Jeffers and the Twins' offense had no trouble putting up runs. The 27-year-old drove in four of those runs, highlighted by a two-run home run off Kenta Maeda in the fourth inning. Jeffers' round tripper was his 15th of the year, which is a career-high tally. The outing was also Jeffers' first multi-hit performance in 11 games and marked his second four-RBI game of 2024. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:10 pm
       
    • Contreras has two hits in loss to Rockies Thursday
      William Contreras went 2-for-5 against the Rockies on Thursday.

      Advice: Contreras enjoyed his time in Colorado. He went 8-for-19 (.421) with a home run and a double in the four game series at Coors Field. The 26-year-old All-Star catcher is hitting .298 with an .804 OPS on the season. Rotoworld Thursday, 8:04 pm
       
    • Smacks homer Thursday
      Garver went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 7-3 win over the Orioles.

      Advice: Garver didn't start Tuesday or Wednesday due to a sore wrist. He played in a non-defensive capacity Thursday and lifted a seventh-inning homer as the designated hitter while batting second in the lineup -- the highest spot he's hit all year. The 33-year-old struggled with a .187 batting average in June, though he slugged .453 with five homers, five doubles and 17 RBI. Overall, he's posted a .177/.295/.367 slash line with 11 long balls, 33 RBI, 28 runs scored and 12 doubles across 281 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 4:47 pm
       
    • Mitch Garver goes deep Thursday in return to lineup
      Mitch Garver blasted a two-run homer on Thursday against the Orioles in his return to the lineup.

      Advice: We’re going to safely assume that Garver’s right wrist is feeling better after watching him sock a no-doubter to left-center field off Orioles reliever Keegan Akin in the seventh inning of this one. It was his 11th big fly of the season and third time he’s gone deep in eight games since June 24. The 33-year-old veteran backstop was back in Seattle’s lineup at designated hitter on Thursday after missing a pair of games earlier this week due to a right wrist contusion that he suffered when he was hit by a pitch last weekend. It doesn’t look like a massive concern anymore. Rotoworld Thursday, 4:04 pm
       
    • Sitting down Thursday
      Smith isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Smith went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored during Wednesday's loss, and he'll get a breather for Thursday's rubber match. Austin Barnes will start at catcher instead and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Thursday, 3:07 pm
       
    • Calf remains tight
      Diaz said his calf is still a little bit tight Thursday, which is why he's not sprinting full out on the bases, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.

      Advice: Diaz was reinstated from the 10-day injured list June 30 after nursing a left calf strain. Since his return, the catcher is 6-for-18 with two doubles. However, it appears the calf injury is still lingering, as the 33-year-old says he will be careful about it. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:52 pm
       
    • Henry Davis (concussion) re-starts rehab assignment
      Henry Davis (concussion) will resume a minor league rehab assignment on Thursday with Triple-A Indianapolis.

      Advice: Davis was asymptomatic earlier this week when he resumed catching bullpen sessions and will get back into minor-league game action on Thursday night. The 24-year-old backstop has been out since mid-June recovering from a concussion. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:41 pm

    • Ryan Jeffers goes 3-for-5, homers in rout
      Ryan Jeffers went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double and four RBI against the Tigers on Thursday.

      Advice: He was also hit by a pitch in the seventh on what proved to be the last play in a rain-shortened game. Jeffers had a great first month and a half, followed by a bad second month and a half; he came into this one batting .157/.252/.269 since May 15. Hopefully, this was the start of him getting untracked and going back to being a viable option in one-catcher mixed leagues. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:31 pm
