  • 7-9-4 9th Place
    • Tallies two extra-base hits
      Greene went 2-for-4 with a walk, a double, a triple, an RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 9-7 loss to the Rangers.

      Advice: While Greene's batting average is still a bit underwhelming at .239, his .849 OPS is stronger due to eight extra-base knocks through 19 games. In fact, exactly half of the outfielder's hits have gone for extra bases so far. Greene is heating up, and with his ability to leg out doubles or hit the ball over the wall, he should be primed for good numbers the rest of the way. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:56 pm
       
    • Christian Encarnacion-Strand day-to-day with illness
      Christian Encarnacion-Strand is day-to-day due to illness.

      Advice: Encarnacion-Strand wasn’t feeling well, which led to him sitting out Wednesday’s series finale against the Mariners. The 24-year-old slugger figures to be ready to return to Cincinnati’s lineup for Friday’s series opener against the Angels. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:10 pm
       
    • Andrés Giménez drives in pair in win over Boston
      Andrés Giménez went 2-for-5 with two RBI to help the Guardians to a victory over the Red Sox on Thursday.

      Advice: Giménez had a pair of run-scoring singles Thursday, the first of which came in the third to tie the score at 1-1. His second RBI knock came in the fifth to extend Cleveland’s lead to 3-1, and it gives the 25-year-old 11 runs driven in over the first 19 games. He’s not showing much power, but Giménez has still slashed a solid .293/.360/.387 to open the 2024 campaign. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:20 pm
       
    • Belts third homer
      Marte went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

      Advice: The veteran outfielder took Bailey Falter deep in the third inning to get the Mets on the board. Marte has been healthy to begin the season and appears to be back in 20-20 form, slashing .267/.321/.413 through 18 games with three homers, three steals, six RBI and 12 runs.

    • Sits out due to illness
      Encarnacion-Strand did not play Wednesday due to illness, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. Spencer Steer replaced him at first base.

      Advice: It had earlier been reported that Encarnacion-Strand was merely resting -- his first day off of the season -- but Cincinnati manager David Bell confirmed the illness. Bell didn't provide specifics on the symptoms but indicated Encarnacion-Strand wasn't feeling well in advance of the three-game series in Seattle. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:28 am
       
    • Gets first day off of season
      Crawford is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds.

      Advice: The Mariners are wrapping up their series against Cincinnati with a day game after a night game and a lefty (Andrew Abbott) is on the hill for the Reds, so Seattle skipper Scott Servais likely felt that it was an opportune time to give the lefty-hitting Crawford a day off. Crawford will cede shortstop to Dylan Moore while Julio Rodriguez replaces Crawford atop the batting order. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:31 pm
       
    • Resting for first time in 2024
      Encarnacion-Strand is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game in Seattle.

      Advice: He'll be riding pine for the first time this season while Spencer Steer replaces him at first base and Stuart Fairchild steps in as the Reds' No. 3 hitter. Before an 0-for-4 showing in Tuesday's 3-1 loss, Encarnacion-Strand had delivered exactly two hits in four of his preceding six starts. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:24 pm
       
    • First multi-hit game of season
      Crawford went 2-for-5 with a run in a win over the Reds on Tuesday.

      Advice: Crawford's multi-hit effort was his first of the season -- a much-needed shot in the arm for his struggling bat. Crawford has now managed to reach safely in eight consecutive games, albeit while mustering just one extra-base hit in that sample. The veteran shortstop's slash line sits at a forgettable .171/.266/.257 across 79 plate appearances, but there aren't yet any discernible rumblings about a potential loss of playing time.

    • Goes deep in loss
      Chapman went 2-for-4 with a solo home run a double in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Marlins.

      Advice: Chapman has two homers over the last four games and four on the year. The third baseman's blast Tuesday opened the scoring in the second inning. His power is a welcome sight after he hit just 17 homers in 2023, but he's batting just .205 with 11 RBI, 12 runs scored, a stolen base and three doubles through 18 contests so far in 2024.
