    • Juan Soto homers and walks in loss to Reds
      Juan Soto homered and walked in a loss to the Reds on Thursday.

      Advice: Soto swatted a two-run dinger in the eighth inning to cut Cincinnati’s lead to 8-4, but the Yankees got no closer. The homer and walk improves the All-Star’s slash to .300/.438/.568 with 21 blasts and 63 RBI. Rotoworld Today, 1:11 pm

    • Bo Bichette scratched Thursday with forearm bruise
      Bo Bichette was scratched from Thursday’s lineup due to a right forearm contusion.

      Advice: It’ll be Leo Jimenez making his big-league debut at shortstop on Thursday against the Astros in his absence. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Today, 11:57 am

    • Has quality start spoiled
      Quintana came away with a no-decision in Thursday's loss to the Nationals. He did not allow a run over seven innings, giving up four hits and three walks.

      Advice: For the first time this season, Quintana went through a game without allowing a run, but he got no run support on his way to the no-decision. He joins Tylor Megill as the only two Mets pitchers to throw seven shutout innings this season. Quintana has picked up a quality start in three of his last four appearances and has lowered his ERA to 4.22 in the process. Rotowire.com Today, 11:28 am
       
    • Jose Quintana looks great in no decision
      Jose Quintana was tremendous in a no-decision against the Nationals on Thursday, throwing seven shutout innings and allowing just four hits.

      Advice: Quintana did walk three and struck out only one on the day, but it was a solid effort despite a 17 percent whiff rate and 23 percent CSW. Quintana kept the Nationals hitters off-balance and off the barrel and has now allowed just three total earned runs over 23 1/3 innings in his last four starts. His recent performance puts him firmly on the streaming radar next week against the Nationals. Rotoworld Today, 10:49 am
       
    • Getting breather Thursday
      Polanco is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Polanco was given a semi-day off Wednesday in the designated hitter slot and he'll be out of the lineup altogether Thursday. Ryan Bliss is getting the start at second base for the Mariners. Rotowire.com Today, 10:09 am

    • Scratched from lineup
      Bichette was scratched from the Blue Jays' lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros due to a right forearm contusion, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Bichette was hit by a pitch in the area during Wednesday's contest and felt some residual soreness while working out pregame Thursday. Consider him day-to-day. Leo Jimenez will slide over to shortstop and Spencer Horwitz will enter the lineup at second base. Rotowire.com Today, 9:11 am

    • Moves up to No. 3 spot
      Merrill will start in center field and bat third in Thursday's game versus the Rangers.

      Advice: Merrill had one start out of the leadoff spot back in mid-April and batted fifth a couple times last month, but this will be his first-ever start from the third spot in the Padres' batting order. The rookie outfielder has earned the assignment by slashing a robust .352/.380/.727 with nine home runs, 21 RBI and two stolen bases over his last 23 games. Jake Cronenworth has typically hit third since Fernando Tatis (quad) went down and has a day off Thursday, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see Merrill receive more opportunities from the middle of the San Diego batting order.

    • Jackson Merrill hitting 3rd for Padres
      Jackson Merrill is starting in center field and batting third for the Padres on Thursday.

      Advice: This is Merrill’s first start as a three-hole hitter and it’s certainly earned after he hit .320/.346/.650 in June with nine home runs, 17 runs, 20 RBI, and two steals in 28 games. If that power holds up and he continues to hit in the middle of the order, his fantasy stock will rise dramatically. Rotoworld Today, 9:02 am
       
    • Sitting against left-hander
      Garcia is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets.

      Advice: Garcia slugged a pair of home runs in Wednesday's win over the Mets but nonetheless finds himself on the bench a day later with southpaw Jose Quintana on the hill. Ildemaro Vargas will be at second base for the Nationals. Rotowire.com Today, 6:12 am
