    • Early exit Thursday
      Soto was removed from Thursday's game against the Twins in the sixth inning due to left forearm discomfort, David Lennon of Newsday reports.

      Advice: Soto didn't return to the field after a lengthy rain delay, though the exact nature or cause of the injury remains unclear. Alex Verdugo entered the game in left field, with Aaron Judge shifting to right. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:18 pm

    • Juan Soto leaves game with forearm discomfort
      Juan Soto was removed from Thursday’s series finale against the Twins due to left forearm discomfort.

      Advice: Soto was 0-for-1 with a pair of walks before leaving the contest following a 56-minute rain delay prior to the sixth inning. It certainly sounds like his exit was merely for precautionary reasons, but there should be an update on his status prior to Friday’s showdown against the Dodgers. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for the moment. It’s unclear whether they’re linked, but top prospect Jasson Domínguez was lifted from a rehab contest for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre shortly after Soto’s early exit. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:16 pm

    • Exits starting nine
      Joe is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Dodgers.

      Advice: It's the first time since May 13 that Joe has been absent from the Pirates' starting nine. Rowdy Tellez will occupy first base and Edward Olivares will patrol right field while Joe gets some rest. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:34 am

    • Stuffs stat sheet Wednesday
      Smith went 3-for-4 with a home run, a double, a walk, two total RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's 9-1 victory against the Tigers.

      Advice: Smith gave the Rangers a 2-0 lead with his solo shot to right field in the third inning and added an RBI single in the sixth. For good measure, the third baseman sweetened his stat line with a stolen base following a first-inning walk. Smith continues to shine at the hot corner for Texas, getting at least one hit in eight of his past nine games and batting .361 (13-for-36) with two homers, three doubles, four RBI, seven runs and two steals over that span.

    • Josh Smith homers, steals base in victory
      Josh Smith went 3-for-4 with a home run, double, two RBI, a stolen base, and a walk in the Rangers’ 9-1 win over the Tigers on Wednesday.

      Advice: Smith filled the stat sheet on Wednesday with an excellent day at the plate. He drew a walk in the first inning and stole second. Smith then led off the third with a solo homer off Joey Wentz. He doubled in the fifth and later drove in a run with a base hit in the sixth. The 26-year-old infielder is having a solid season at the plate, hitting .290/.377/.440 with four homers, 30 runs scored, 24 RBI, and four steals across 220 plate appearances.

    • Swipes fifth bag
      Nimmo went 2-for-4 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base in Tuesday's win over the Nationals.

      Advice: Hitting third against rookie lefty DJ Herz, Nimmo reached base three times in a game for the first time since May 5. The on-base machine is batting just .222 on the season, but he sports a .350 OBP thanks to a 13.4 percent walk rate, his highest mark since 2021. Nimmo's added seven homers, five steals, 31 runs and 31 RBI in 58 games to his ledger. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:34 am
       
    • On base four times in return
      Young went 3-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Mets.

      Advice: The center fielder had missed the prior two games due to swelling in his throwing hand, but Young was the Nationals' most effective offensive weapon in his return, collecting half of the team's six hits on the night. The 24-year-old offers basically no power -- his last extra-base hit was a double on May 19 -- but through 49 games this season he's batting .282 with 17 steals, 25 runs and 16 RBI.

    • Masataka Yoshida starting rehab assignment this weekend
      Red Sox manager Alex Cora confirmed Tuesday that Masataka Yoshida (thumb) is expected to start a minor league rehab assignment this weekend.

      Advice: Yoshida has been on the shelf since the start of May due to a left thumb strain, but managed to avoid surgery. The 30-year-old is going to need some time to get back up to speed in the minors before returning to Boston’s lineup mix at designated hitter. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:36 pm

    • Jacob Young back in lineup Tuesday against Mets
      Jacob Young (hand) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Mets.

      Advice: Young sat out Monday’s series opener due to right hand inflammation stemming from a hit by pitch over the weekend. The 24-year-old speedster is ready to go for Tuesday’s showdown at Nationals Park. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:06 pm
