  • Powers offense in win
    Seager went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Dodgers.

    Advice: Seager missed nearly a week due to left hamstring soreness, and he played in a non-defensive capacity as the designated hitter Wednesday. He delivered the biggest hit of the game, a fifth-inning blast that accounted for all of the Rangers' runs. Prior to his absence, Seager had hit safely in 17 of his previous 18 games, batting .354 and slugging .800 in that span. He's up to a .271/.362/.484 slash line with 14 homers, 33 RBI, 30 runs scored and no stolen bases through 58 contests overall. Getting Seager's bat back in the lineup is a big boost to a Texas offense that has been limited to three runs or fewer in six of 10 games in June. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:58 pm
     
  • Three hits in win
    Neto went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, a double, one additional RBI and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 8-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Neto hit a solo shot in the second inning and an RBI double in the sixth for his second multi-hit effort in June. The shortstop has gone 8-for-35 (.229) this month, though five of those hits have gone for extra bases, and he's added eight RBI over 10 contests. For the season, he's at a .250/.300/.424 slash line with eight homers, 26 RBI, 24 runs scored, eight stolen bases and 15 doubles through 240 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:19 pm
     
  • Corey Seager homers in return to lineup Wednesday
    Corey Seager with 1-for-3 with a three-run homer and a walk to power the Rangers to a 3-2 win over the Dodgers on Wednesday.

    Advice: Seager made his return to the lineup on Wednesday, hitting second as the designated hitter. With two runners on base in the fifth inning, he put the Rangers on the board with a three-run blast off Walker Buehler to give Texas the lead. The three runs would be all the Rangers needed to pick up the win over Los Angeles. The 30-year-old shortstop is slashing .271/.362/.484 with 14 homers and 33 RBI across 254 plate appearances.

  • Zach Neto collects three hits, homers in win
    Zach Neto went 3-for-5 with a solo homer, two runs scored, and two RBI to lead the Angels to an 8-3 win over the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

    Advice: Neto led off the second inning with a solo homer off Slade Cecconi. He later knocked a base hit to lead off the fourth and scored on a home run by Jo Adell. Neto drove in another run in the sixth on a double that nearly left the field for a second homer. The 23-year-old shortstop is slashing a solid .250/.300/.424 with eight homers, 26 RBI, and eight steals across 240 plate appearances. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:34 pm
     
  • Back in lineup
    Seager (hamstring) will serve as Texas' designated hitter and bat second Wednesday versus the Dodgers.

    Advice: Seager hasn't played since he left last Wednesday's game against the Tigers due to a sore left hamstring, but he has now been given the green light to return to the lineup in a non-defensive role. The 30-year-old shortstop has tallied at least one base hit in 17 of his last 18 games and is slashing .354/.462/.800 with nine home runs and 15 RBI in that span.

  • Corey Seager (hamstring) rejoins Rangers’ lineup
    Corey Seager (hamstring) returned to the Rangers’ starting lineup for Wednesday night’s battle against the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

    Advice: Seager hasn’t played since leaving Wednesday’s game with a mild hamstring strain. It’s the first time that the 30-year-old superstar shortstop will play in Dodgers’ stadium as a visitor. He’s been terrific at the dish when healthy this season — slashing .271/.360/.472 with 13 homers and 30 RBI in just 57 games. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:51 pm
     
  • Brett Baty tallies three hits, homers at Triple-A
    Brett Baty went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer and three RBI on Tuesday for Triple-A Syracuse.

    Advice: Baty has caught fire since last month’s demotion back to the minors, batting .400 (6-for-15) with three homers and six RBI in four contests for Triple-A Buffalo. The 24-year-old former top prospect is going to get some extended runway to turn things around out of the spotlight before he returns to New York. Hopefully the extra seasoning in the upper minors enables him to regain his confidence at the dish. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:37 am
     
  • Corey Seager out Tuesday with hamstring injury
    Corey Seager (hamstring) remains absent from the lineup for Tuesday’s series opener against the Dodgers.

    Advice: This certainly qualifies as a surprise since Seager was expected to be ready to roll for Tuesday’s highly-anticipated showdown at Dodger Stadium after getting a couple games off to address some mild hamstring left soreness. The 30-year-old fantasy superstar will miss his fourth straight contest and remains day-to-day for the moment. Rotoworld Tuesday, 3:54 pm
     
  • Returns to Triple-A
    The Astros optioned Loperfido to Triple-A Sugar Land on Tuesday, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The Astros recalled Cesar Salazar on Tuesday to provide depth at catcher following Yainer Diaz's finger injury, and Loperfido will end up as the odd man out. The 25-year-old outfielder has performed well during his time in Houston, slashing .333/.381/.436 with five RBI in 43 plate appearances. However, a speedy return to the majors is not likely for Loperfido, with Kyle Tucker (shin) aiming to return from the IL on Friday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:22 pm
