    • Sitting out Wednesday
      Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mariners, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Rortvedt started the previous two contests and went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk and four RBI in the Rays' 11-3 win over the Mariners on Tuesday night, but he'll begin the Wednesday afternoon contest on the bench. Alex Jackson will get the nod behind the plate. Rotowire.com Today, 6:22 am
       
    • Homers, drives in four in win
      Rortvedt went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 11-3 win over the Mariners.

      Advice: Rortvedt walked in the fifth inning, hit a two-run home run in the sixth and added a two-run single in the seventh. The catcher has enjoyed a great June, hitting .333 with three home runs and 14 RBI over 49 plate appearances. The 26-year-old only has 19 plate appearances against left-handed pitching this season, but he is slashing a solid .282/.369/.405 with three homers and 21 RBI in 149 plate appearances against righties.

    • Big Ben Rortvedt has four RBI in win
      Ben Rortvedt went 2-for-3 with a home run and four RBI in an 11-3 win over the Mariners on Tuesday.

      Advice: Rortvedt’s home run came in a one-run game in the sixth inning and broke the game open for the Rays. It traveled 392 feet at 103.7 mph and was the catcher’s third home run of the season. Rortvedt is slashing a solid .274/.369/.390 on the season and is now 15-for-45 (.333) in June with three home runs and 14 RBI in 14 games. He plays four or five games a week for the Rays and is slowly pushing his way onto the radar in one-catcher leagues and needs to be rostered in all two-catcher formats.

    • Getting Sunday off
      Rortvedt is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Even with the Pirates sending right-hander Paul Skenes to the mound Sunday, the lefty-hitting Rortvedt will begin the game in the dugout after starting in the first two games of the series, going 4-for-8 with one home run, four RBI and two runs scored. Alex Jackson will start at catcher and bat ninth for the series finale. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:11 am
       
    • Big day in rout
      Rortvedt went 3-for-5 with a double, a three-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 10-3 win over the Pirates.

      Advice: The backstop put the finishing touches on Tampa Bay's rout by taking Daulton Jefferies deep in the ninth inning. Rortvedt only has two homers on the year, but both have come in his last four games as part of an impressive June that has seen him slash .314/.368/.571 in 38 plate appearances. His strong-side platoon role limits his fantasy upside, but the 26-year-old appears to be on his way to a career-best campaign. Rotowire.com Saturday, 6:13 am
       
    • Resumes jogging
      The Rockies cleared Diaz (calf) to resume jogging Monday, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: While Diaz looks to be making some progress in his recovery from the left calf strain that forced him to the injured list last Friday, he's still on track to spend more than the minimum 10 days on the shelf. The Rockies haven't yet provided a target date for Diaz's return from the IL, and Jacob Stallings should serve as Colorado's top backstop until Diaz is back in action. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:16 pm

    • Getting afternoon off
      Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: The Rays had initially planned to give Rortvedt a day off Wednesday, but the team later updated its lineup and included the 26-year-old at catcher for a fourth consecutive contest. After delivering two hits in Wednesday's 3-2 extra-inning win, Rortvedt will receive a breather for Thursday's day game. Alex Jackson will step in for Rortvedt behind the plate.

    • Added to lineup
      Rortvedt will start at catcher and bat eighth Wednesday against the Twins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

      Advice: Rortvedt was originally slated to receive a day off Wednesday versus Joe Ryan and the Twins, but he will instead replace Alex Jackson behind the dish as a late addition to Tampa Bay's lineup. Rortvedt has slashed .222/.300/.370 with a homer and five RBI across 30 plate appearances since the start of June. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:00 pm
       
    • Getting day off
      Rortvedt is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins.

      Advice: The lefty-hitting Rortvedt typically sits against left-handed pitchers, but he'll head to the bench Wednesday against righty Joe Ryan, affording Alex Jackson a turn behind the dish. Rortvedt looks to be receiving some routine maintenance after he had started at catcher in each of the Rays' last three games. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:53 pm
