    • Notches first steal of season
      Donovan went 2-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Pirates.

      Advice: Donovan extended his hitting streak to seven games. He's gone 9-for-27 (.333) in that span, but just one of those hits has gone for extra bases. The 27-year-old's steal Wednesday was his first of the season, though he's not much of a speed threat after logging just five thefts in 95 games a year ago. Donovan is up to a .247/.322/.368 slash line with four home runs, 28 RBI, 30 runs scored, 15 doubles and one triple over 270 plate appearances this season. He spent much of the first two months of the season batting leadoff versus right-handed pitchers, but Masyn Winn is now atop the order on a near-everyday basis, having hit there in all but two of 11 games in June. Donovan has hit no higher than sixth over the last week. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:23 pm

    • Tallies three hits Wednesday
      Arenado went 3-for-4 with a double, a run and an RBI in a 4-2 win against the Pirates on Wednesday.

      Advice: Among Arenado's three hits was a third-inning RBI double that was St. Louis' only extra-base hit of the contest. The veteran third baseman batted .167 over his first seven contests in June but has perked up since, putting together a four-game hitting streak during which he has gone 8-for-16. The hot stretch has improved his season slash line to .264/.320/.386. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:00 pm

    • Lifts homer in loss
      Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 8-3 loss to the Angels.

      Advice: Walker has gone 10-for-45 (.222) with two homers and eight RBI over 11 contests in June. The first baseman is up to 13 long balls, 42 RBI, 40 runs scored, 12 doubles, two stolen bases and a .255/.340/.458 slash line through 68 games this season. Walker's power is a bit down from the last two years, but that's at least partially due to bad luck -- entering Wednesday, he had a 50.0 percent hard-hit rate and a 15.1 percent barrel rate this season, up from 40.4 percent and 11.4 percent, respectively, in 2023.

    • Christian Walker goes yard in loss to Angels
      Christian Walker went 2-for-4 with a solo home run against the Angels on Wednesday.

      Advice: The Diamondbacks were held without a run through seven innings before Walker led off the eighth with a solo blast off Jose Soriano. Walker is up to 13 homers while slashing .255/.340/.458 with 40 runs scored and 42 RBI across 291 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:33 pm
       
    • CJ Abrams leaves the yard in victory over Tigers
      CJ Abrams homered, doubled and drove in a pair of runs on Wednesday, propelling the Nationals to a 7-5 victory over the Tigers in Motown.

      Advice: Abrams got the Nationals on the board with a game-tying 404-foot (104.3 mph EV) solo shot off of Reese Olson in the third inning. He then smacked an RBI double and scored on a run-scoring single off the bat of Jesse Winker during a three-run uprising in the fifth inning. With his two-hit attack, the dynamic 23-year-old shortstop is now slashing .248/.296/.472 with 11 homers, 34 RBI and 10 stolen bases on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:40 pm

    • Matt Olson hits two-run homer against Orioles
      Matt Olson went 2-for-3 and hit a two-run homer against the Orioles on Wednesday.

      Advice: The homer, which accounted for Atlanta’s only scoring tonight, briefly evened up the game in the top of the eighth, but the Orioles went right back ahead in the bottom of the inning. It’s incredible that the Braves’ lineup has basically been the equal of the White Sox’s for about a month and a half now. Olson has actually picked up his play during this terrible span, but he’s not getting much help. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:38 pm
       
    • On bench again Wednesday
      Arozarena (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Arozarena will remain on the bench for the second day in a row while he manages a tight right hamstring. Given that the Rays felt comfortable enough using Arozarena as a pinch hitter in Tuesday's 5-2 win, he's seemingly on track to avoid a stint on the injured list. Arozarena's absence from the lineup Wednesday will enable the Rays to give Yandy Diaz a day out of the field and deploy him at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:00 pm
       
    • Randy Arozarena remains out of the lineup on Weds
      Randy Arozarena (hamstring) is out of the Ray’s lineup on Wednesday against the Cubs.

      Advice: Arozarena is battling through a hamstring issue but was able to pinch hit on Tuesday. The Rays are calling him day-to-day, so it’s likely that he’s close but not ready to be out in the field for an entire game or sprinting around the bases. The Rays will start Richie Palacios in left field. Jose Caballero is also back in the lineup at third base with Isaac Paredes moving to first and Yandy Diaz at DH.

    • Reaches 10 steals
      Gimenez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Reds.

      Advice: Gimenez has gone 4-for-26 (.154) over six games in June, and he hasn't drawn a walk in that span. The second baseman has maintained fairly steady playing time, but he's hit lower in the order with the Guardians facing a southpaw in three of their last four games. That may be a factor in his quiet stretch, though he's still doing well overall with a .263/.318/.363 slash line, four home runs, 10 steals, 33 RBI and 35 runs scored across 60 contests.
