  • Yankees call up C Carlos Narváez
    Yankees recalled C Carlos Narváez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

    Advice: Narváez will get his first call-up to the majors while Alex Verdugo is away on paternity leave. The 25-year-old was batting .211/.376/.342 with two homers and 12 RBI over 23 games in Triple-A this season. Rotoworld Today, 10:43 am
     
  • Return from IL imminent
    Grandal (foot) has made six appearances for Triple-A Indianapolis during his rehab assignment, going 5-for-21 with one home run, two walks, two runs and six RBI.

    Advice: Perhaps more important than his statistical production is the fact that Grandal has made five of his six starts behind the plate, a sign that he's feeling healthy after he was shut down in the spring due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Per Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com, general manager Ben Cherington noted that Grandal's upcoming return will force the Pirates to make a tough roster decision, as one of Henry Davis and Joey Bart will lose out on a spot. Given that Bart is out of options and has been performing better of the two backstops, Davis seems like the more logical choice to get demoted to Triple-A Indianapolis to make room for Grandal, even though Davis is seen as the Pirates' long-term answer behind the dish.

  • Homers as pinch hitter
    Campusano went 1-for-2 with a three-run homer in Sunday's 8-6 loss to the Phillies.

    Advice: Campusano entered the game as a pinch-hitter for Kyle Higashioka in the seventh and instantly made an impact, swatting a three-run shot to left center off Taijuan Walker to bring the Padres within one run. It was only his second home run of the year, but the 25-year-old is enjoying a productive first month of the season, slashing .290/.320/.430 with nine extra-base hits, 17 RBI, 13 runs and a 4:11 BB:K in 97 plate appearances as the Padres primary backstop.

    Advice: Realmuto won the battle against Michael King in the sixth, sending a 421-foot blast to left center to put the Phillies up 6-3. He gave them some additional insurance with an RBI single in the seventh as well. Realmuto's now hit safely in six of his last seven games and has five RBI over his last three. For the year, he's slashing .245/.292/.429 with five homers, 14 RBI, 14 runs and a 6:28 BB:K in 106 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 3:06 am
     
  • Collects second RBI
    Stallings went 1-for-2 with an RBI on Sunday against the Astros.

    Advice: Stallings has served in a true backup role to Elias Diaz, as Sunday marked only his ninth start of the season. Stallings managed his second RBI of the season Sunday with a sacrifice fly in the second inning. He also has at least one hit in each of his last four starts. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:41 pm
     
  • Three RBI across weekend series
    Diaz went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI on Sunday against the Rockies.

    Advice: The Astros scored 20 runs combined across their two-game series against Colorado, and Diaz drove in three of those runs. His damage Sunday came late in the contest, as he drove in a pair of runners with a double in the eighth inning. Diaz now has at least one hit in five of his last seven games, and he's collected four extra-base hits (no home runs) in that span. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:28 pm
     
  • Homers in consecutive games
    Rutschman went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-6 loss to the Athletics.

    Advice: Rutschman homered for the second game in a row, doubling his total for the year to four. The catcher also struck out three times Sunday and is now striking out at a 16.0 percent rate. He's added 17 RBI, 17 runs scored and a .318/.361/.455 slash line through 119 plate appearances. Rutschman has maintained more playing time than the average catcher this year, as manager Brandon Hyde has often put him at designated hitter when he's not behind the dish.

    Kirk went 3-for-3 with a solo home run during Sunday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers.

    Advice: Kirk notched his first homer of the campaign, tagging Dodgers opener Michael Grove for a long ball in the second frame. The outburst was much needed for the slumping Kirk, who entered the contest 5-for-35 (.143) in his last 12 appearances and hitless during his last four games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:07 pm
