    • Not in Thursday's lineup
      Rice is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Rice started at first base in each of his first two games after being promoted, going 2-for-7 with a walk. He'll begin this one on the bench, with DJ LeMahieu handling the cold corner and Oswaldo Cabrera the hot corner. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:15 am
       
    • Sean Murphy goes 4-for-4, homers twice in victory
      Sean Murphy went 4-for-4 and hit a pair of two-run homers as the Braves bested the Tigers 7-0 on Wednesday.

      Advice: A big game for a slumping hitter. Murphy, who missed most of April and May, hadn’t achieved even a two-hit game in his 15 previous starts this season. He had totaled one homer and four RBI in 56 plate appearances. His OPS jumped from .408 to .625 today. Rotoworld Wednesday, 12:31 pm

    • Breaks out with two homers
      Murphy went 4-for-4 with a pair of two-run homers and three total runs scored in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Tigers.

      Advice: Murphy extended Atlanta's lead to 3-0 in the third inning with a two-run blast off Tarik Skubal before cranking a second two-run homer in the fifth off Mason Englert. It's the first multi-hit game of the year for Murphy, who was batting just .135 with a lone homer through his first 15 games this season. Perhaps Wednesday's outburst is a sign of things to come for the 29-year-old backstop -- Murphy posted an .843 OPS with 21 homers across 438 plate appearances last year.

    • Ben Rice records first career hit in pro debut
      Ben Rice went 1-for-4 with a single in Tuesday’s win over the Orioles.

      Advice: Rice hit an opposite-field fly ball to left in his first career at-bat but singled with runners on first and second to record his first career hit. Rice manned first base in place of Anthony Rizzo (hand) in his debut and overcame an early fielding gaffe to turn in a solid first outing as a pro. Rice was slashing .275/.393/.532 with 15 homers and 36 RBI in the minors this season. He’ll have ample opportunities to contribute to the Yankees’ lineup, with Rizzo set to miss an extended length of time. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:27 pm
       
    • Added to roster, batting sixth
      The Yankees selected Rice's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday.

      Advice: Rice earned a call-up after slashing .275/.393/.532 with 15 home runs, nine stolen bases and a 56:40 K:BB over 268 plate appearances between Double-A Trenton and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He's a catcher and a first baseman but is in line to be used mostly in the latter capacity while Anthony Rizzo (arm) is sidelined. Rice will start at first base and bat sixth in his major-league debut Tuesday versus the Orioles. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:38 pm
       
    • Yankees officially promote top prospect Ben Rice
      Yankees selected the contract of C/1B Ben Rice from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

      Advice: Rice ascends to the majors in the wake of Anthony Rizzo’s forearm fracture and is expected to receive the majority of the playing time at the cold corner moving forward. He’s at first base and batting sixth on Tuesday night against the Orioles in his big-league debut. The 25-year-old burgeoning slugger, who has recorded a sublime 925 OPS with 15 homers and nine steals across 60 games this season in the upper minors, is extremely appealing for fantasy managers since he’ll still have catcher eligibility moving forward. He doesn’t strike out a ton for a power-hitting backstop and also offers a little bit of speed as well for fantasy purposes. He’s worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy leagues until further notice. Rotoworld Tuesday, 1:33 pm
       
    • Idle Tuesday
      Murphy is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Tigers.

      Advice: Murphy has struggled after missing the first two months of the season with an oblique injury, owning a .408 OPS and a 28.6 percent strikeout rate across 56 plate appearances with Atlanta. As Murphy works through the slow start, Atlanta will turn to Travis d'Arnaud behind the plate Tuesday for the fourth time in nine games. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 1:19 pm

    • Yankees to select contract of Ben Rice on Tuesday
      The Yankees will select the contract of catcher/infielder Ben Rice before Tuesday’s game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Rice will be called up with Anthony Rizzo heading to the injured list due to the fracture in Rizzo’s arm. The 25-year-old has hit well in his 60 minor-league games in 2024 with a .925 OPS, 15 homers and nine stolen bases. He’s made just 11 appearances above Double-A, but he’s slashed .333/.440/.619 in those chances with three homers in 42 at-bats. Rice has offensive upside, and he’s worth a look in most fantasy formats. Rotoworld Tuesday, 5:55 am
       
    • Sitting Sunday
      Murphy is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.

      Advice: Murphy will rest for the series finale after he started behind the plate Friday and Saturday while going 2-for-7 with a walk and a run scored. Travis d'Arnaud will garner the start at catcher Sunday. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:07 am
