  • Ezequiel Tovar gets first day off of season
    Ezequiel Tovar is not in the lineup to begin Sunday’s game against the Pirates.

    Advice: For the first time in 2024, Tovar will get a day off. The shortstop will at least begin Sunday’s finale on the bench with Alan Trejo handling his duties. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:54 am
     
  • Receiving first day off
    Tovar is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Luke Zahlmann of The Denver Gazette reports.

    Advice: Tovar will take a seat for the first time all season after starting in each of Colorado's first 33 games, enabling Alan Trejo to enter the lineup at shortstop. The Rockies are likely hoping that a day on the bench will be helpful for Tovar as he looks to break out of his recent funk at the plate; over his last nine games, he's slashing .128/.171/.154 with a 39 percent strikeout rate.

  • Fighting slump
    Seager went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 7-1 loss to Kansas City.

    Advice: Seager delivered the Rangers' lone run with a single in the third inning. He's been mired in a slump and entered Friday's game batting .073 (3-for-41) with two RBI over the previous 11 games. Rangers general manager Chris Young took the long view when speaking with Kenndi Landry of MLB.com, indicating the club expected Seager to need some time to get going after undergoing hernia surgery in January. Young also feels there has been some bad luck, which speaks to the shortstop's .269 BABIP. Rotowire.com Saturday, 6:57 am
     
  • Seager drives in run, but Rangers routed by KC
    Corey Seager went 2-for-4 with an RBI in a loss to the Royals on Friday.

    Advice: Seager drove in the first — and only — run of the night with an RBI single off Brady Singer in the third. Seager has not gotten off to a strong start to the 2024 campaign, as the pair of knocks still has his average at a disappointing .229 with an equally disappointing .297 slugging percentage.

  • Swats second homer
    Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 8-4 loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Seager, who was not in the original starting lineup for Saturday's game, was a late addition. The home run was his second of the season. Seager's off to a slow start, slashing .247/.336/.330 over 110 plate appearances, which is perhaps disappointing from a player that finished second in AL MVP voting last season. However, it's also understandable when considering Seager underwent offseason hernia surgery and missed all but the final week of spring training. Rotowire.com Apr 28, 7:03 am
     
  • Corey Seager swats second homer on Saturday
    Corey Seager went 1-for-4 with a solo homer on Saturday against the Reds.

    Advice: Seager was originally scheduled to get the day off on Saturday, but was a late addition to the lineup. On his 30th birthday, he swatted a solo homer in the ninth inning, his second of the season. Seager has been off to a relatively cold start, hitting .247/.336/.330 with the two homers, 12 runs scored, and seven RBI across 110 plate appearances. Rotoworld Apr 27, 3:57 pm
     
  • Will play after all
    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Seager will start at shortstop for Saturday's game against the Reds, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Advice: Seager left Wednesday's game against the Mariners after taking a pitch off his shin, and he played one game at DH before returning to shortstop in the series opener against the Reds on Friday. Seager was initially set to take Saturday off, but Bochy has reinserted the 30-year-old back into the starting lineup. With Seager at shortstop, Josh Smith will shift to third base while Ezequiel Duran will move to the bench. Rotowire.com Apr 27, 11:05 am
     
  • Corey Seager a late addition to Saturday’s lineup
    Corey Seager has been added to the lineup for Saturday’s contest against the Reds.

    Advice: It appears Seager was able to talk his way onto manager Bruce Bochy’s lineup card after he was originally slated to sit out Saturday’s showdown against the Reds. The 30-year-old fantasy stalwart appears to be doing just fine after suffering a left shin contusion earlier this week when he was hit by a pitch. Rotoworld Apr 27, 10:57 am
     
  • Corey Seager getting day off Saturday vs. Reds
    Corey Seager and Adolis García are not in the lineup for Saturday’s showdown against the Reds.

    Advice: It’s a routine off day for both Seager and Garcìa with Josh Smith at shortstop and Travis Jankowski taking over in right field. The 30-year-old superstar shortstop could probably use a day off after suffering a left shin contusion earlier this week when he was hit by a pitch. The dynamic duo should return for Sunday’s series finale. Rotoworld Apr 27, 10:29 am
