  • Goes yard in Wednesday's loss
    Senzel went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 11-2 loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: The 28-year-old third baseman produced the Nationals' first run of the night in the second inning by launching a Landon Knack fastball over the fence in left-center field. Senzel has two homers on the season with both coming in the last three games, but he's gone just 5-for-25 with a 2:9 BB:K since returning from the thumb injury he suffered Opening Day. His spot in the starting lineup seems fairly secure unless Brady House forces an early promotion, but Senzel's fantasy upside remains limited. Rotowire.com 3 minutes ago

  • On bench Thursday
    Benintendi is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Benintendi will head to the bench for the second time in the four-game series in Minnesota as the White Sox hand Robbie Grossman a start in left field. Though he's produced a .395 OPS through 88 plate appearances on the season, Benintendi's role still appears fairly secure while he's in the second season of a five-year, $75 million contract.

  • Getting breather Thursday
    Chourio is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh.

    Advice: Chourio is 1-for-12 with eight strikeouts over his last four games, so it's a sensible day to get him a breather as the Brewers suit up for an afternoon contest. Joey Wiemer and Sal Frelick are in the corner outfield spots. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Getting another start
    Myers is slated to start Sunday's game against the Yankees at American Family Field, Sophia Minnaert of Bally Sports Wisconsin reports.

    Advice: With Wade Miley (elbow), DL Hall (knee) and Jakob Junis (shoulder) all still on the injured list without clear timelines to return, Myers will end up sticking around for a second turn through the Milwaukee rotation. The 25-year-old had been a standout performer for Triple-A Nashville prior to getting called up this week and held his own in his MLB debut Tuesday, taking the loss despite limiting the Pirates to one run on four hits and one walk over five innings.

  • Roughed up in Dodgers rematch
    Irvin (1-2) took the loss Wednesday, surrendering six runs on 12 hits and a walk over 4.2 innings as the Nationals were routed 11-2. He struck out three.

    Advice: The 27-year-old righty blanked the Dodgers over six innings in his prior start, but the NL West powerhouses weren't fooled a second time. Irvin got the hook after 103 pitches (66 strikes) in his worst outing yet this season, and he'll carry a 4.55 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 23:7 K:BB through 27.2 innings into his next start, which lines up for a less scary road matchup against the Marlins early next week.

  • Four hits in rout
    Betts went 4-for-6 with a double, two runs scored and two RBI in Wednesday's 11-2 win over the Nationals.

    Advice: The 31-year-old continues to rake. Betts has had three or more hits three times in the last 10 games, batting .395 (17-for-43) over that stretch, and on the season he's already delivered a .365/.468/.625 slash line with six homers, five steals, 21 RBI and 26 runs in 26 contests. He hasn't produced a 30-30 campaign since 2018, but Betts seems intent on reaching that milestone again. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago

  • Swats second homer
    Pages went 3-for-5 with a double, a solo home run and two additional runs scored in Wednesday's 11-2 rout of the Nationals.

    Advice: The rookie outfielder took Tanner Rainey deep in the eighth inning for his second homer in seven games since his promotion. Pages is batting .259 (7-for-27) in the majors with five of his hits going for extra bases, but his 0:9 BB:K is at least a small warning sign that tougher times could lie ahead.

  • Collects first career win
    Knack (1-1) picked up the win in Wednesday's 11-2 rout of the Nationals, giving up two runs on three hits and three walks over six innings. He struck out five.

    Advice: The 26-year-old rookie recorded his first career quality start along with his first MLB win, tossing 59 of 94 pitches for strikes and retiring the last 13 batters he faced after walking in a run in the second inning. Knack is making a case to stick in the Dodgers' rotation even after Walker Buehler (elbow) is declared ready for his 2024 debut, especially with Gavin Stone and James Paxton having issues in the early going.

  • Hurt after sliding into second
    Rodriguez left Wednesday's game at Double-A Wichita in the seventh inning after suffering an undisclosed injury during a stolen-base attempt, TwinsDaily.com reports.

    Advice: Rodriguez appeared to injury his arm while sliding head first into second base and walked off with trainers. The severity of the injury isn't know. He's off to a strong start at Double-A by hitting .294 with a 1.193 OPS, four home runs and nine stolen bases in 16 games. Rotowire.com 25 minutes ago
