  • Wilmer Flores hits two-run double in Giants’ win
    Wilmer Flores delivered a two-run double on Thursday, powering the Giants to a 5-0 victory over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Flores came off the bench to face lefty reliever Kyle Nelson with the bases loaded in the eighth inning and immediately scalded a two-run double into the left-field corner to give San Francisco a commanding three-run cushion. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:59 pm
     
  • Reaches four times Thursday
    Canha went 2-for-3 with two walks, an RBI and a run scored in Thursday's 9-7 loss to the Rangers.

    Advice: Canha continues to provide steady production for the Tigers, as he has an .837 OPS across 18 games. The veteran outfielder recorded a .755 OPS last season and he's actually only finished above .800 once during his career, which came back in 2019 when he posted a .913 OPS and hit a career-high 26 home runs with the Athletics. Even if he slips into the .700 range, Canha should remain a solid if not spectacular fantasy asset. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:05 pm
     
  • Christian Encarnacion-Strand day-to-day with illness
    Christian Encarnacion-Strand is day-to-day due to illness.

    Advice: Encarnacion-Strand wasn’t feeling well, which led to him sitting out Wednesday’s series finale against the Mariners. The 24-year-old slugger figures to be ready to return to Cincinnati’s lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Angels. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:10 pm
     
  • Back from IL
    The Cubs activated Wisdom (back) from the 10-day injured list Thursday, Taylor McGregor of Marquee Sports Network reports.

    Advice: Wisdom went to the injured list just before Opening Day and was able to begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Iowa on April 6. During the assignment, the 32-year-old appeared in nine games and went 11-for-27 with three home runs across 36 plate appearances. Miles Mastrobuoni was optioned to Triple-A Iowa in a corresponding move. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:46 pm

  • Cubs activate Patrick Wisdom for Friday return
    Cubs activated INF Patrick Wisdom from the 10-day injured list.

    Advice: Wisdom rejoins Chicago’s crowded infield mix ahead of Friday’s series opener against the Marlins after missing the first three weeks of the season recovering from a back strain that he suffered during spring training. He figures to split time at the hot corner with Christopher Morel since Michael Busch has gotten off to such a strong start over at first base. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:45 pm

  • Brandon Drury (hamstring) pinch-hits on Thursday
    Brandon Drury (hamstring) grounded out as a pinch-hitter on Thursday in the Angels’ loss to the Rays.

    Advice: Drury was held out of the lineup for the third consecutive contest due to ongoing left hamstring tightness, but was able to come off the bench in the ninth inning of this one. The 31-year-old infielder remains day-to-day for now and should be a full-go in a couple days, if not sooner. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:51 pm
     
  • Stands out in Wednesday's win
    Nevin went 3-for-4 with an RBI single, a double and a run in a win over the Cardinals on Wednesday.

    Advice: Nevin drew the start in right field and delivered once again, pushing his average to .303 across 37 plate appearances. Nevin has now reached safely in five consecutive games, but Wednesday's two-bagger was his first extra-base hit of the campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:54 am

  • Smacks homer Wednesday
    Renfroe went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk in a 4-2 win over the White Sox in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

    Advice: Renfroe went 0-for-3 with one RBI in the nightcap as well. The veteran outfielder is still holding onto a starting role in right field, but he's struggling at the plate in 2024. Renfroe is batting .176 with two homers, eight RBI, six runs scored and two doubles over 56 plate appearances. Nelson Velazquez has occasionally moved from designated hitter to right when Renfroe rests, and Adam Frazier could be an option there as well once Michael Massey (back) is activated from the injured list.

  • Hits go-ahead homer in Game 1
    Perez (groin) went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 win over the White Sox in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader.

    Advice: Perez returned from a Grade 1 left groin strain Wednesday and delivered the key hit in the Royals' matinee win. He also went 0-for-2 with two walks in the nightcap while serving as the designated hitter. He appears good to go moving forward after the injury scare. The veteran catcher is off to a hot start with five homers, 17 RBI, nine runs scored and two doubles while slashing .324/.370/.574 over 18 contests this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:27 am
