  • Connor Wong goes 4-for-4, homers twice
    Connor Wong finished 4-for-4 with two homers and three RBI as the Red Sox shut out the Guardians 8-0 on Wednesday.

    Advice: Wong already had nice numbers coming into this one, but Statcast thought he was one of the league’s biggest overachievers. Tonight’s performance was legit, though; his homers traveled 416 and 397 feet, and one of his two singles left the bat at 107.7 mph. He’s now batting .370/.386/.660, which is pretty good for a guy who was taking a backseat to Reese McGuire two weeks ago. We still wouldn’t look at him as a solution in one-catcher mixed leagues.

  • Resumes catching work
    Murphy (oblique) was able to catch bullpen sessions Tuesday and Wednesday but has yet to resume swinging a bat, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Advice: Murphy's ability to throw at full strength while donning his full catching equipment represents a positive step forward in his recovery from a Grade 1 left oblique strain, but until he starts swinging the bat again, his return from the 10-day injured list shouldn't be viewed as imminent. The backstop has been on the shelf since March 30 with the injury. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago

  • William Contreras leads Brewers past Pirates
    William Contreras went 3-for-4 with a walk, run scored and an RBI on Wednesday night, leading the Brewers to a 3-2 victory over the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Contreras hit out of the leadoff spot for the Brewers on Wednesday and reached base in four of his five plate appearances. He opened the scoring in the game with an RBI single off of Luis Ortiz in the third inning, then trotted home as Blake Perkins worked a bases-loaded walk. With his three-hit attack, the 26-year-old backstop is slashing a sizzling .359/.439/.543 with four homers, 21 RBI, 20 runs scored and a stolen base through his first 23 games.

  • Hits bench Wednesday
    Amaya is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Though he'll give way to Yan Gomes behind the dish Wednesday, Amaya seems to have edged ahead of the veteran on the depth chart at catcher. Amaya started in four of the previous five games and owns a 302-point edge in OPS over Gomes for the season (.772 to .470). Rotowire.com Today, 3:28 pm
     
  • Falls into timeshare
    Maldonado is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Maldonado has fallen into a timeshare behind the dish with Korey Lee, with both backstops having now made four starts apiece over the past eight games. Even in AL-only leagues, Maldonado won't retain much fantasy value while he's hitting .048 on the season and not even playing on a regular basis. Rotowire.com Today, 3:09 pm
     
  • Out with dental issue
    Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday against the Rangers after undergoing an emergency procedure to remove one of his teeth, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Advice: Raleigh reportedly played with a broken tooth during Tuesday's win and had it removed early Wednesday. Seby Zavala will start behind the plate for Seattle and bat ninth while Raleigh is sidelined. Rotowire.com Today, 3:04 pm
     
  • Gets Wednesday break
    Campusano is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Campusano will get a rest day after starting six of eight games in the Padres' last three series. The 25-year-old catcher is slashing .288/.321/.413 with 14 RBI through 84 plate appearances on the year. Rotowire.com Today, 2:55 pm
     
  • Resting Wednesday
    D'Arnaud is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: D'Arnaud looks to be getting a breather after he caught both of the first two games of the series versus the Marlins. Chadwick Tromp will be behind the plate Wednesday, forming a battery with starting pitcher Reynaldo Lopez. Rotowire.com Today, 2:42 pm
     
  • Marlins option Jhonny Pereda back to Triple-A
    Marlins optioned C Jhonny Pereda to Triple-A Jacksonville.

    Advice: The 28-year-old backstop didn’t see much action during his brief stint with the Marlins, going 0-for-5 with one strikeout in his three appearances. He’ll continue to serve as excess catching depth at the Triple-A level. Rotoworld Today, 1:34 pm
