    • Dansby Swanson leads Cubs past Marlins on Friday
      Dansby Swanson singled, doubled, scored twice, drove in a run and drew a walk on Friday afternoon, helping to lead the Cubs to an 8-3 victory over the visiting Marlins.

      Advice: The 30-year-old shortstop delivered a two-out, run-scoring double off of A.J. Puk in the first inning that extended the Cubs’ early lead to 2-0. He then worked a walk in the third inning and scored on a two-run double by Miguel Amaya. Swanson also smacked a leadoff single to start the fifth inning and came around to score on an RBI knock off the bat of Mike Tauchman. With his two-hit day, Swanson is now slashing .254/.325/.408 to go along with two homers, eight RBI and a pair of stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Today, 5:03 pm
       
    • Not starting Friday
      Baty (hamstring) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.

      Advice: Baty missed Wednesday's game against the Pirates after experiencing tightness in his left hamstring Tuesday. He did some running and agility tests ahead of Friday's game, but he has not provided a timeline on his return, per Pat Ragazzo of SI.com. Baty has started the season slashing .305/.359/.373 with one home run and nine RBI over 64 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 4:52 pm

    • Brett Baty (hamstring) remains out of Mets lineup
      Brett Baty (hamstring) remained out of the Mets’ starting lineup for Friday night’s series opener against the Dodgers.

      Advice: The good news, is that Baty was able to go through a full workout prior to the game and hasn’t been placed on the injured list, so the Mets seem to think that he’ll be back in relatively short order. Joey Wendle will start in his place at third base on Friday and will bat ninth against Yoshinobu Yamamoto and the Dodgers. Rotoworld Today, 4:04 pm

    • Triple, stolen base vs. Guardians
      Duran went 1-for-4 with a two-run triple, two runs scored and a stolen base in Thursday's 5-4 loss to Cleveland.

      Advice: Duran drew a walk to lead off the home half of the first inning before swiping his seventh bag of the year. The speedy outfielder would then drive in a pair of runs with a triple in the sixth inning, his first three-bagger this season. Duran is now 5-for-17 with three extra-base hits in his last four contests. He's off to a nice start following a promising 2023 campaign, slashing .301/.366/.422 with a home run, 12 runs scored and nine RBI through his first 20 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:53 pm

    • Lourdes Gurriel Jr. getting night off on Thursday
      Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is not in the lineup for Thursday’s series opener against the Giants.

      Advice: It appears to be a routine off day for Gurriel with Jake McCarthy getting the nod in left field to face Giants ace Logan Webb. The 30-year-old slugger is batting .263 (20-for-76) with five homers, 20 RBI and two steals across 84 plate appearances through 18 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:47 pm
       
    • Jarren Duran triples, steals base against CLE
      Jarren Duran went 1-for-2 with a two-run triple and a stolen base against the Guardians on Thursday.

      Advice: Duran showed off his speed in a couple different ways Thursday. The 27-year-old plated two with his first triple of the season, and the steal already gives the outfielder seven on the young campaign. Duran has gone through some lulls in his short MLB career, but the highs have been awfully exciting. It’s certainly possible 2024 is the year he puts it all together. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:20 pm

    • Taking seat Thursday
      Gurriel is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Giants.

      Advice: The Giants are sending ace right-hander Logan Webb to the hill, so it's not a bad time for Arizona to give the right-handed-hitting Gurriel a day off. Jake McCarthy and Randal Grichuk will occupy the corner outfield spots for the Diamondbacks. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:49 pm
       
    • Keeps slugging Wednesday
      Henderson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Twins.

      Advice: Henderson has six homers on the year, including one in each of the last three games. He's also posted four straight multi-hit efforts. The shortstop is thriving as the leadoff hitter in a strong offense, slashing .288/.346/.603 with four stolen bases, 15 RBI and 13 runs scored through 18 contests overall.

    • Swipes bag in win
      Swanson went 2-for-5 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Playing against the team that drafted him first overall back in 2015, Swanson notched his first multi-hit performance in 12 days. The shortstop hasn't really gotten going yet, as he's batting just .235 with two home runs and two stolen bases across 18 games. However, Swanson is at no real risk of losing playing time, and he has the talent to heat up in a hurry. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:19 pm
