  • Records fourth steal
    Contreras went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 10-6 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Contreras has been held hitless just five times over 26 games in May, going 31-for-104 (.298) for the month. The catcher is up to a .323/.394/.509 slash line with eight home runs, four steals, 43 RBI, 45 runs scored, 15 doubles and a triple in 55 contests, so this month has actually been a bit of a cooling off compared to how he started the season. He's been able to have an everyday role between catcher and designated hitter as one of the best overall batters in baseball this season. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:06 pm
     
  • Two homers in rout of Mets
    Smith went 3-for-5 with a double, two solo home runs and a third run scored in Wednesday's 10-2 win over the Mets.

    Advice: The catcher took David Peterson deep in the second inning before getting a hold of an Adam Ottavino sweeper in the eighth. It was Smith's first multi-homer game of the season, and the pair of blasts gave the 29-year-old 100 for his career -- making him the fourth catcher in history to reach triple digits in a Dodgers uniform along with Mike Piazza, Roy Campanella and Steve Yeager. On the season, Smith is slashing .296/.360/.516 with nine long balls and 36 RBI through 49 contests. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 7:06 pm
     
  • Will Smith homers twice, Dodgers demolish Mets
    Will Smith launched two homers on Wednesday, leading the Dodgers to a 10-3 victory over the Mets.

    Advice: Smith led off the second inning by taking Mets starter David Peterson deep before capping off his second career multi-homer performance with an eighth-inning blast off veteran reliever Adam Ottavino. He finished with three hits in this one, spearheading the Dodgers’ 10-run, 16-hit offensive explosion at Citi Field against a reeling Mets squad. The 29-year-old fantasy stalwart has homered four times in his last five contests and is up to nine round-trippers through 49 contests. Rotoworld Wednesday, 5:30 pm
     
  • Sitting down Wednesday
    Wells isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Wells has gone 3-for-12 with an RBI and five strikeouts across his last three games, and he'll now take a seat versus Tyler Anderson and the Halos. Jose Trevino will get the nod to start behind the dish and bat eighth. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:26 pm
     
  • Adley Rutschman not in Orioles lineup Wednesday
    Adley Rutschman is not in the Orioles’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s matchup against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Even the best backstops occasionally need a day off. James McCann will start behind the dish and catch Corbin Burnes on Wednesday evening in Baltimore while Ryan O’Hearn serves as the O’s designated hitter against Kutter Crawford and the Red Sox. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:38 pm
     
  • Rare day off Wednesday
    Rutschman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox.

    Advice: Rutschman often starts at designated hitter on days he doesn't catch, but he'll be given a true day off Wednesday, barring a pinch-hitting appearance. It's just the fourth day off this season for the 26-year-old. James McCann will pick up the start at catcher. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:38 pm
     
  • Not in lineup Wednesday
    Murphy is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.

    Advice: Murphy started the first two games of the series against the Nationals in his return from the injured list, going 2-for-7 with an RBI. He will give way to Travis d'Arnaud behind the plate on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:32 pm
     
  • Getting breather Wednesday
    Bailey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Bailey will be getting some routine maintenance in the series finale after he had started at catcher or designated hitter in each of the Giants' last five games. Curt Casali will fill in for Bailey behind the plate. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:42 am
     
  • Getting afternoon off
    Realmuto is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Giants.

    Advice: Realmuto will get a breather for the afternoon game after he started behind the plate each of the previous three days while going 3-for-13 with eight strikeouts. He recorded exactly one hit in each of those contests to extend his hitting streak to 17 games. Unless he's deployed off the bench Wednesday, Realmuto will look to extend the streak to 18 when he likely returns to the lineup for Friday's series opener versus the Cardinals.
