  • Resting Thursday
    Stephenson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Stephenson will get a well-deserved breather for Thursday's day game after he started in each of Cincinnati's last seven games, with six of those starts coming behind the plate. Luke Maile will get the nod at catcher Thursday and form a battery with starting pitcher Nick Martinez. Rotowire.com 12 minutes ago
     
  • Getting day off
    Naylor is absent from the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Red Sox.

    Advice: Naylor started each of the previous three games at catcher for the Guardians, but he'll be given some rest for Thursday's afternoon tilt. David Fry is doing the catching for Triston McKenzie. Rotowire.com 14 minutes ago
     
  • Sits in second straight game
    Maldonado is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.

    Advice: Maldonado finds himself on the bench for a second straight day, ending a stretch of eight consecutive contests in which he and Korey Lee alternated turns behind the dish. With the White Sox sitting on a 3-21 record and the 37-year-old Maldonado having recorded just two hits in 42 at-bats on the season, it's possible that the organization will begin to start phasing him out to open up more opportunities for the 25-year-old Lee.

  • Slugs second homer
    Diaz went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in a loss to the Padres on Wednesday.

    Advice: Diaz accounted for half of the Rockies' runs in the contest with his solo shot to center field in the eighth inning. The blast snapped a 19-game homerless drought for the backstop, who belted 14 long balls last season. Despite the modest power output thus far, Diaz has had a nice start to the campaign with a .312/.357/.429 slash line and 11 RBI. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:52 pm
     
  • Clubs solo homer
    Lee went 1-for-2 with a solo home run during Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Twins.

    Advice: Lee reached safely in two of his three plate appearances Wednesday, tagging Joe Ryan for a solo home run in the third and being walked on in the fifth inning. He stole second after being walked on, marking his first-career big-league steal. After batting .077 in 2023 and .160 in 2022, Lee is off to a much better start to 2024, slashing .256/.310/.462 with five RBI and five runs scored. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:54 pm
     
  • Four hits, two homers in win
    Wong went 4-for-4 with a pair of homers and three total RBI in Wednesday's 8-0 victory over the Guardians.

    Advice: It's the second two-homer game of Wong's career while his four hits matched a personal best. The 27-year-old catcher has been on fire lately, going 13-for-31 with four home runs in his last eight games while taking over the primary catching job in Boston. Wong's now slashing a solid .320/.327/.520 with three home runs (six shy of a career high), eight RBI and five runs scored across 51 plate appearances to open the campaign.

  • Elias Díaz slugs solo homer in loss to Padres
    Elias Díaz went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Wednesday against the Padres.

    Advice: After knocking a base hit in the fourth inning, Díaz hit his second home run of the season with a solo shot in the eighth. He got some help on this one as his deep fly ball bounced off the glove of Jackson Merrill and over the outfield wall. It counts all the same. The 33-year-old backstop is hitting .312/.357/.429 with the two homers and 11 RBI across 84 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:11 pm
     
  • Korey Lee goes yard in loss to Twins
    Korey Lee went 1-for-2 with a solo homer, a walk, and a stolen base on Wednesday against the Twins.

    Advice: Lee took Joe Ryan deep in the third inning for a solo blast, then drew a walk in the fifth. He stole second on a double steal with Braden Shewmake stealing home to score a run. It was the second homer and first steal for the 25-year-old backstop. He’s slashing a solid .256/.310/.462 across 42 plate appearances as he splits time with Martín Maldonado.

  • Connor Wong goes 4-for-4, homers twice
    Connor Wong finished 4-for-4 with two homers and three RBI as the Red Sox shut out the Guardians 8-0 on Wednesday.

    Advice: Wong already had nice numbers coming into this one, but Statcast thought he was one of the league’s biggest overachievers. Tonight’s performance was legit, though; his homers traveled 416 and 397 feet, and one of his two singles left the bat at 107.7 mph. He’s now batting .370/.386/.660, which is pretty good for a guy who was taking a backseat to Reese McGuire two weeks ago. We still wouldn’t look at him as a solution in one-catcher mixed leagues.
