  • Oswaldo Cabrera powers Yankees past Orioles
    Oswaldo Cabrera swatted a two-run homer off of Corbin Burnes on Wednesday night, powering the Yankees to a 2-0 victory over the Orioles in Baltimore.

    Advice: Cabrera accounted for the only scoring for either team in the ballgame, poking a 352-foot (103.3 mph EV) two-out, two-run homer just over the wall in right field and just inside the foul pole to give the Yankees a 2-0 lead in the fifth inning. He also singled in the ballgame and swiped a base, finishing the night 2-for-3. On the season, the versatile 25-year-old is now hitting .262/.300/.417 with four homers, 18 RBI and a pair of stolen bases. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:09 pm

  • Homers in loss
    Candelario went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to San Diego.

    Advice: Candelario and Stuart Fairchild each homered in the seventh inning, closing a four-run deficit to two. It was the second consecutive game with multiple hits for Candelario, who endured an 0-for-19 slump heading into the series against the Padres. He's hitting .189/.282/.378 with three homers and nine RBI through 103 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:14 am
     
  • Covers first base in win
    Candelario started at first base and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Monday's 5-2 win over the Padres.

    Advice: Candelario filled in at first base for Christian Encarnacion-Strand (hand), who was available off the bench. His second-inning double put an end to an 0-for-19 skid, and he eventually scored on a balk. The slumping corner infielder has spent just two days this season with average of .200 or better.

  • Gets breather Saturday
    Candelario isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: Candelario will get a chance to clear his head Saturday after going 0-for-15 with eight strikeouts across his last five games. Santiago Espinal will step in to cover third base instead while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Saturday, 10:18 am
     
  • Jeimer Candelario goes 0-for-4 in defeat
    Jeimer Candelario finished 0-for-4 with three strikeouts against the Rangers on Friday.

    Advice: Candelario would have been one to avoid in fantasy drafts this year if only he had signed with almost any other team. With the Reds, though, there was reason to think he’d maintain ample mixed-league value. Instead, his exit velocity numbers are way down and his strikeout rate is way up, making this a truly miserable April for the 30-year-old. It doesn’t seem likely that he’ll remain this bad, but he’s fortunate that the Noelvi Marte suspension and Matt McLain injury have left his playing time unchallenged. Rotoworld Friday, 11:22 pm
     
  • Shut down for seven days
    LeMahieu is still dealing with swelling in his right foot and will be shut down from baseball activity for a week, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu had to make an early exit from his first rehab game at Double-A Somerset on Tuesday after his fractured right foot began bothering him in the first inning. After getting checked out by team doctors Wednesday, he will officially be pulled off his rehab assignment and shut down from all activity for the next seven days. Next steps for the 35-year-old infielder will be determined once his seven days are up, though it seems his target return date will be pushed back well into May. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:23 pm

  • Exits rehab game early
    LeMahieu exited after playing one inning in his rehab game Tuesday with Double-A Somerset due to soreness in his fractured right foot, Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu left the contest after striking out in the top of first frame and playing third base in the bottom of the inning. He was making his first rehab appearance and was expected to appear in three more contests in the minors before returning from the 10-day injured list. The 35-year-old is now set to undergo examinations on his foot in New York on Wednesday, according to Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. More information on his status will be provided following the tests, but LeMahieu's return date from the IL looks as though it will be pushed back. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 4:29 pm

  • DJ LeMahieu exits rehab debut with foot soreness
    DJ LeMahieu was removed from Tuesday’s minor league rehab game for Double-A Somerset due to right foot soreness.

    Advice: It’s not what you want to see. LeMahieu struck out in his lone plate appearances and lasted just one inning at third base in his rehab assignment debut before leaving the contest. It’s a notable development since he was expected to play at least a couple innings in this one. The 35-year-old veteran, who has been out since spring training due to a non-displaced fracture in his right foot, is heading back to New York to be re-evaluated. Not good. Rotoworld Tuesday, 4:23 pm
