    • Knocks homer Saturday
      Higashioka went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-4 win against the Brewers.

      Advice: Higashioka delivered what turned out to be a key long ball in the seventh inning, belting a two-run blast to left field. It was the catcher's fifth homer through 12 games in June after he went deep just once over 17 contests prior to the start of the month. The hot stretch has helped Higashioka earn more playing time, and he's slated to take over primary catching duties for San Diego for at least 10 days due to Luis Campusano (thumb) landing on the injured list Saturday.

    • Back in lineup Sunday
      Stephenson (undisclosed) is starting at catcher and batting fifth Sunday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Stephenson missed two consecutive starts due to an undisclosed injury, though he was able to appear as a pinch hitter during Saturday's loss. He'll now return to his usual place behind the dish and look to turn things around after recording just two hits in his last 10 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:44 am
       
    • Slugs homer in win
      Naylor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Naylor snapped a 25-game homer drought dating back to May 4. The catcher has struggled at the plate for much of the campaign, but he's gone a respectable 6-for-23 (.261) over his last seven contests. With the Guardians carrying three catchers, Naylor's margin for error at the plate is thin -- he doesn't have the defensive skill of Austin Hedges or the offensive consistency of David Fry in his favor. Naylor is slashing .184/.253/.291 with four homers, 15 RBI, 18 runs scored and one stolen base over 174 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:12 pm
       
    • Kyle Higashioka goes deep in win over Brewers
      Kyle Higashioka filled in admirably for the injured Luis Campusano on Saturday, crushing a two-run homer and throwing out a pair of baserunners in a victory over the Brewers.

      Advice: Higashioka tagged right-hander Jakob Junis for his 413-foot (102.4 mph EV) two-run blast in the seventh inning that extended the Padres’ lead to 6-0. That would be his lone hit in three at-bats on the night. For the season, the 34-year-old backstop is now hitting .173/.212/.444 with six homers and 12 RBI. Rotoworld Saturday, 7:00 pm
       
    • Enters as pinch hitter
      Stephenson (undisclosed) fouled out in his only plate appearance during Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.

      Advice: Stephenson has been dealing with an undisclosed injury, but he was called upon to pinch hit for Luke Maile on Saturday. While Stephenson wasn't well enough to start the contest, it's certainly encouraging that he was able to take an at-bat. Rotowire.com Saturday, 6:03 pm
       
    • Homers in win
      Lee went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a 5-1 win over the Tigers on Saturday.

      Advice: Lee singled in the fourth inning then hit a solo home run off reliever Joey Wentz in the sixth. Lee is hitting just .194 in 62 June at-bats but has recorded multi-hit efforts in two of his past four games. On the season, he is slashing .246/.285/.393 with seven homers and 19 RBI in 183 at-bats.

    • Korey Lee has two hits, homers in win over Tigers
      Korey Lee went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Saturday, lifting the White Sox to a 5-1 victory over the Tigers.

      Advice: Lee’s sixth inning homer — his seventh big fly of the season — off Tigers reliever Joey Wentz gave Chicago a commanding four-run lead at the time, which they wouldn’t relinquish. It was a relatively quiet afternoon for both sides in this one as Kenta Maeda and Drew Thorpe managed to avoid hard contact pretty well into the middle innings. Rotoworld Saturday, 1:14 pm
       
    • Still out Saturday
      Stephenson (undisclosed) isn't in the Reds' lineup Saturday against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Manager David Bell said Friday that Stephenson is day-to-day with an undisclosed injury. It's still unclear what the 27-year-old backstop is dealing with, but it's enough to sideline him for a second consecutive game Saturday. While he recovers, Luke Maile will pick up another start behind the plate and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:12 am
       
    • Tyler Stephenson sits out third straight game
      Tyler Stephenson is not in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Red Sox.

      Advice: Stephenson is day-to-day with an undisclosed absence, according to Reds manager David Bell. He’s out of Cincinnati’s lineup for the third straight game on Saturday with Luke Maile and Austin Wynns handling the catching duties in his absence. Rotoworld Saturday, 10:48 am
