  • 53-55-12 6th Place
    • Swats second homer
      Marchan went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Thursday in a loss to the Marlins.

      Advice: Marchan belted a solo shot in the fourth inning to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead. It was the backstop's second long ball over 30 plate appearances this season, which is as many homers as he hit across 224 plate appearances in the minors last year. Marchan has shown much more promise as a contact hitter than as a power hitter during his professional career, though three of his seven hits in the majors this year have gone for extra bases.

    • Perez has two-hit game in win Thursday
      Salvador Perez went 2-for-3 against the Guardians on Thursday.

      Advice: Perez has hit safely in four consecutive games. He’s seen his average drop from .321 at the end of May to .283. The Royals lineup desperately needs his bat to wake up again. This was only his third multi-hit game in June, but maybe it’s the start of a hot streak. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:44 pm
       
    • Played through hand injury
      Rutschman had his right hand wrapped following Thursday's game against the Rangers, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports.

      Advice: Rutschman had a ball tipped off his hand early in the game and remained in the lineup. He still managed to blast his 15th home run in the seventh inning, suggesting the injury isn't serious. However, manager Brandon Hyde said Rutschman's hand could swell up overnight, potentially impacting his availability Friday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:53 pm
       
    • Adley Rutschman dealing with right hand injury
      Adley Rutschman suffered a right hand injury during Thursday’s win over the Rangers.

      Advice: It wouldn’t be shocking to see Rutschman get a day off, or at least be limited to designated hitter for a bit, after suffering an apparent right hand injury during Thursday’s blowout win over the Rangers when he was hit by a foul tip. The 26-year-old backstop, who went 2-for-4 with his 15th homer of the season in the one-sided affair, had his hand wrapped following the contest and might need some time off to address the issue. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:42 pm
       
    • Sitting again Thursday
      Rogers is not in Thursday's lineup against the Angels.

      Advice: Rogers will sit for the second straight game, perhaps getting an extended breather after collecting just three hits across his last 29 at-bats. Carson Kelly is behind the dish and will hit ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:12 pm
       
    • Scratched from Thursday's lineup
      Stephenson was scratched from Thursday's lineup against the Cardinals, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Stephenson was scratched moments before first pitch to be present for the birth of his child. He'll likely be placed on the paternity list and will miss between one and three additional games. Luke Maile took over behind the dish. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:55 pm
       
    • Marlins release catcher Christian Bethancourt
      Marlins released C Christian Bethancourt.

      Advice: So much for sticking around as emergency organizational depth. Bethancourt went unclaimed on waivers after being designated for assignment last week by the Marlins. The 32-year-old veteran backstop batted just .159/.198/.268 with two homers in 88 plate appearances over 38 games this season before being cut loose. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:55 pm
       
    • Tyler Stephenson scratched from Thursday’s lineup
      Tyler Stephenson was scratched from the lineup for Thursday’s game against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Stephenson left the club on Thursday evening to be with his pregnant wife, according to a team statement. There’s a strong possibility he’s away from the team for the next couple days. It’ll be Luke Maile handling the catching duties in his absence. Austin Wynns would most likely come back up from Triple-A Louisville, if he’s gone more than a day or two.

    • Astros bring in Omar Narváez on minor league deal
      Astros signed C Omar Narváez to a minor league contract.

      Advice: Narváez provides Houston with some additional catching insurance with Victor Caratini sidelined due to injury. The 32-year-old veteran backstop was cut loose by the Mets earlier this month. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:26 pm
