    • Drives in three Monday
      Winker went 3-for-4 with a walk and three RBI in Monday's loss to the Mets.

      Advice: All three hits were singles, but it was still a productive night for Winker. His performance was marred by a caught stealing to end the second inning, however -- one of many mistakes by the Nats in what proved to be a one-run loss. The 30-year-old outfielder is batting .333 (11-for-33) over the last 10 games, but his only extra-base hit during that stretch is a double, and his homer drought currently stands at 13 games.

    • Three hits in Monday's win
      Iglesias went 3-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI in Monday's win over the Nationals.

      Advice: Getting the start at second base and batting eighth with left-hander MacKenzie Gore on the mound for the Nats, Iglesias produced his first three-hit performance since August 2022 -- and that game was in Coors Field. The 34-year-old was added to the roster to provide infield depth, but he's begun his Mets tenure by going 5-for-11 with a stolen base. With Jeff McNeil stumbling to a career-worst .227/.296/.320 slash line and 103.9 mph max exit velocity so far, the door could be open for Iglesias to see more playing time than expected at the keystone, and potentially even take over the starting job.

    • Joining Triple-A roster soon
      Lawlar (thumb) is expected to join the Triple-A Reno roster soon, Jesse Borek of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Lawlar is working his way back from surgery to repair a ruptured UCL tendon in his right thumb. He's played three rehab games with the Arizona Complex League Diamondbacks, going 1-for-7 with a 1:4 K:BB in 11 plate appearances. The 21-year-old will report to Reno in short order with the hope of playing his way back onto the major-league roster. Lawlar went just 4-for-31 during his brief time with the Diamondbacks last season but remains one of the elite prospects in baseball. Geraldo Perdomo (knee) should beat Lawlar back to Arizona, but Lawlar is the club's long-term answer at shortstop once the team decides he's ready to take the reins.

    • Makes third straight start
      Grossman started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 in Monday's 2-1 loss to Detroit.

      Advice: Grossman served as the starting DH for a third straight game, all against lefties, and is 3-for-10 with a double and three RBI during that stretch. His elevation to the starting lineup coincides with Ezequiel Duran replacing the lefty-hitting Nathaniel Lowe at first base in those three contests, which suggests a strategic change against left-handers. The Rangers have been middle-of-the-pack against lefties this season (.242 average, 16th). Rotowire.com Today, 5:42 am
       
    • Starts at 1B again
      Duran started at first base and went 1-for-4 with a double in Monday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers.

      Advice: Duran was in the starting lineup at first base for a third straight game -- all against lefties -- as it appears primary starter Nathaniel Lowe is losing work against southpaws. Duran is batting .235/.304/.275 against lefties this season, which is lower than Lowe's line of .250/.327/.292, suggesting the platoon may not be a long-term solution. Rotowire.com Today, 5:27 am

    • Joins hit parade in Colorado
      Stephenson went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Monday's 13-3 win over the Rockies.

      Advice: The Reds busted out in a big way in Colorado, setting new season highs in hits and runs. Stephenson's teammates did most of the damage before the catcher finished the rout with a two-run homer in the ninth inning. It was his sixth home run of the season and first in 13 games.

    • Moves up order
      Moreno batted second and went 1-for-4 in Monday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

      Advice: Arizona manager Torey Lovullo tweaked the lineup against a left-handed starter, dropping Corbin Carroll to eighth and moving Moreno up the order. The manager told Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports that Carroll is expected to slide down the order against lefties beyond Monday's game. The move is not a recognition of Moreno's hot bat -- he's batting .235 with a .643 OPS -- and is more about Carroll's struggles. Rotowire.com Today, 4:29 am
       
    • Walks off Giants
      Smith hit a pinch-hit, two-run home run in Monday's 4-2 win over the Giants.

      Advice: Smith pinch hit for Eugenio Suarez and sent a center-cut fastball over the fence in center field for a walk-off home run. It was his second homer of the season and the first walk-off blast of his career. Smith has been relegated to the bench and pinch-hit duties mostly, but he has a knack for high-leverage moments. Per Baseball Reference's leverage indicator, the outfielder/DH owns an .871 OPS in high-leverage spots during his career. Rotowire.com Today, 4:22 am
       
    • Slugs two homers
      Hays went 2-for-4 with two home runs in Monday's 7-2 win over Toronto, finishing with three RBI and two runs scored.

      Advice: Hays hit his first home run of the season, even slugging a second to record his sixth career multi-home run game. The 28-year-old hit both of his home runs off Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman, launching a two-run shot in the fourth inning and a solo home run in the seventh. Hays has seen inconsistent playing time over the past two weeks but he is starting to heat up, batting 5-for-9 with three extra-base hits over his past three appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 12:14 am
