    • Alex Verdugo homers in win over Angels
      Alex Verdugo went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in the Yankees’ 2-1 win over the Angels on Wednesday.

      Advice: Despite the Yankees putting five men on base through three frames, they didn’t bring a run in to score until Verdugo’s solo blast off Tyler Anderson to lead off the fourth inning. It was one of only two runs the team would score in Wednesday’s victory. The 28-year-old outfielder is hitting .260/.321/.439 with eight homers and 29 RBI across 221 plate appearances.

    • Goes deep in loss
      Happ went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and two total RBI in Wednesday's 10-6 loss to the Brewers.

      Advice: Happ is 5-for-15 over his last four games, and three of those hits have left the yard. The outfielder had only two home runs across 47 games before this recent hot streak, but he blasted 20 or more long balls in two of the last three seasons, so it wouldn't be surprising to see his power production continue to trend upward.

    • Ian Happ goes yard in loss to Brewers
      Ian Happ went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI against the Brewers on Wednesday.

      Advice: Happ took Bryse Wilson deep to right field for a solo homer in the second inning to put the Cubs on the board. He then led off the fourth with a base hit and scored on a groundout before bringing a run in with a sacrifice fly in the ninth. The 29-year-old outfielder is slashing .226/.329/.376 with five homers, 28 runs scored, and two steals across 216 plate appearances. His underlying stats have all nearly matched his 2023 season with the exception of his strikeout rate, which is up to 28 percent after posting a 22 percent mark last season.

    • Three hits, home run in win
      Castellanos went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer, a double and a second run scored in Wednesday's 6-1 win over San Francisco.

      Advice: Castellanos highlighted a three-hit day with a two-run homer off Kyle Harrison in the fifth inning, extending Philadelphia's lead to 4-0. It's just the second multi-hit game for Castellanos in his last nine contests -- he'd been stuck in a 5-for-32 slump prior to Wednesday. Overall, the 32-year-old outfielder is slashing .208/.271/.333 with seven homers, 28 runs scored and 24 RBI through 236 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:16 pm
       
    • Nick Castellanos has three hits, homers in win
      Nick Castellanos went 3-for-5 with a two-run homer on Wednesday in the Phillies’ win over the Giants.

      Advice: Castellanos connected on a fifth-inning offering from Giants lefty Kyle Harrison, sending his seventh round-tripper of the season out to left-center field at spacious Oracle Park. The 32-year-old veteran outfielder got off to a slow start this season at the dish, but has heated up of late with three homers over his last seven contests. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:26 pm
       
    • Jackson Merrill returns to lineup after day off
      Jackson Merrill is back in center field Wednesday after getting the day off against a lefty on Tuesday.

      Advice: The Padres are again facing a lefty, but Merrill has been starting against most of them, even though he’s hitting just .233/.261/.233 in 46 plate appearances against them. He’s also 7-for-35 with no extra-base hits or walks in his last eight games overall. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:25 am
       
    • Getting breather versus lefty
      Merrill isn't in the Padres' lineup Tuesday against the Marlins.

      Advice: The left-handed bat of Merrill will step out of the lineup Tuesday as the Marlins prepare to send Jesus Luzardo to the mound. Jose Azocar will fill the void in center field and bat eighth while Merrill sits. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:21 pm
       
    • Getting day off
      Mountcastle is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against Boston.

      Advice: After making five straight starts, Mountcastle will take a seat Tuesday. The first baseman has generated a hit in six straight games, going 11-for-25 (.440) with five runs scored and four doubles. Ryan O'Hearn will play first base and bat third while Kyle Stowers fills the DH spot and bats seventh. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 12:25 pm
       
    • Ryan Mountcastle gets Tuesday off vs. Red Sox
      Ryan Mountcastle is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Orioles.

      Advice: Mountcastle will get a day off against Brayan Bello and the Red Sox. Kyle Stowers is the designated hitter for the Orioles with Ryan O’Hearn lined up at first base. Rotoworld Tuesday, 12:19 pm
