  • On bench in second straight
    Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: After sitting against Tigers right-hander Casey Mize in Saturday's 5-3 win, the lefty-hitting Wells will remain on the bench Sunday with southpaw Tarik Skubal on the hill for Detroit. The Yankees may be opting for more of a timeshare at catcher between Wells and the right-handed-hitting Jose Trevino rather than a true platoon, given that Trevino has been the better performer of the two this season. Trevino heads into Sunday's game with a .719 OPS, more than 100 points higher than Wells' mark (.592). Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Stays hot in win
    Pages went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Saturday's blowout win over Atlanta.

    Advice: Pages jumped on a hanging four-seamer from Bryce Elder to lead off the bottom of the fourth and launched it 412 feet into the stands in center field for his fourth home run of the season, and second in his last three games. The rookie outfielder also added a single in the contest, giving him back-to-back multi-hit games. Pages has been on an absolute tear at the plate throughout his now 10-game hitting streak, batting .418 (18-for-43) over that stretch with three homers, nine RBI and nine runs scored. He's also tallied at least one RBI in three straight games. Rotowire.com 6 minutes ago
     
  • Back in bench role
    Grisham is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Grisham recently made four consecutive starts in center field, but three came while Alex Verdugo was away from the team on paternity leave. With Verdugo having rejoined the Yankees on Thursday, Grisham has predictably moved back into a fourth-outfielder role. He'll take a seat for the third straight game Sunday.

  • Reaches five innings in rehab start
    Woo (elbow) struck out six and allowed three hits and no walks over five shutout innings in his third rehab start Saturday with Triple-A Tacoma.

    Advice: Woo was about as sharp as the Mariners could have hoped in what was likely the final start of his rehab assignment, as he built up to 66 pitches (44 strikes) while making quick work of the Triple-A Sacramento lineup. Provided Woo experiences no complications with his right elbow during a bullpen session within the next couple of days, he should be cleared to return from the 15-day injured list to make his 2024 Mariners debut later this week. Emerson Hancock has been filling in as the Mariners' No. 5 starter while Woo has been out, but Seattle could have room in the rotation for both hurlers if George Kirby (knee) is forced to the 15-day IL. Woo is likely to be activated to start either Thursday in Minnesota or Friday at home versus the Athletics. Rotowire.com 11 minutes ago
     
  • Scoreless inning to earn win
    Bednar (2-2) didn't allow a baserunner and struck out one in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the win Saturday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Bednar entered in the ninth inning of a scoreless game and held the Rockies in check. It was a needed outing, as he entered Saturday having given up runs in each of his last three appearances. Bednar has an ugly 10.50 ERA and 1.50 WHIP across 12 frames for the season, though there is no indication that he's in danger of losing the closer role. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • One hit in Pittsburgh debut
    Grandal went 1-for-4 Saturday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Grandal made his first start since joining the Pirates this offseason, as he was sidelined by a foot injury for the first month of the campaign. He reached base in his first plate appearance on a single. Grandal is expected to serve as Pittsburgh's primary catcher, though he may be pushed for playing time by Joey Bart.

  • Another multi-hit effort
    Acuna went 3-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 11-2 loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: Acuna led off the fourth inning with a single and swiped his 14th bag of the season before coming around to score Atlanta's first run on a single from Austin Riley. The star outfielder would collect two more hits on the night, though his effort fell short as the Dodgers ran away with the win. Acuna has now tallied multiple hits in three straight games to open the month, though he's still sitting on just two home runs for the season. He's also scored at least one run in five of his last six games. Rotowire.com 22 minutes ago
     
  • Collects 12th RBI
    Sheets went 1-for-2 with a double, an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Sheets opened the scoring with an RBI double in the first inning and also came around to score in the sixth frame after earning a walk as the leadoff hitter. He remains a regular in the lineup, most often starting in right field, and has primarily settled into the third spot in the order. Sheets has hit well for much of the season, and he has at least one hit in 12 of his last 15 starts while hitting .273 with four RBI and six runs scored. Rotowire.com 23 minutes ago
     
  • Delivers game-winning hit
    Pham went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored Saturday against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Pham delivered an RBI single in the 10th inning to put the White Sox ahead for good. Since joining the team April 26, Pham has hit exclusively second in the order and has at least one base hit in six of his seven starts. Rotowire.com 28 minutes ago
