  • Slugs three-run homer
    Trevino went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in an 11-5 win against the Royals on Wednesday.

    Advice: Trevino capped a huge first inning for the Yankees with his three-run blast that made the score 6-0. It was the backstop's first homer since May 18 and ended a stretch of 13 games without any extra-base hits. Trevino has been pretty solid offensively overall this season, though, slashing .272/.321/.416 with six homers, 23 RBI and 17 runs through 138 plate appearances.

  • Raps three hits in victory
    Herrera went 3-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-2 win against the Pirates.

    Advice: Herrera and Nolan Arenado both had three hits for St. Louis in the win, combining for over half of the team's total base knocks. Herrera helped generate a run in the fourth inning when he led off with a single, advanced to second on another single, stole third and crossed the plate on an infield hit. The backstop has four multi-hit performances through 10 contests in June and is batting .314 (11-for-35) overall this month. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 10:55 pm
     
  • Iván Herrera collects three hits in victory
    Iván Herrera went 3-for-4 and stole a base Wednesday in his first start in four days.

    Advice: Herrera sat both Sunday and Tuesday, with a team off day Monday in between. The Cardinals clearly prefer Pedro Pagés’ defense to Herrera’s, but Herrera is obviously much better offensively. In spite of Herrera’s success tonight, he was replaced for defense late in the contest. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:20 pm

    Advice: Trevino broke the game open in the first inning with a three-run blast off Daniel Lynch. He later added a base hit to lead off the sixth. The 31-year-old backstop is slashing a respectable .272/.321/.416 with six homers and 23 RBI across 138 plate appearances. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:03 pm
     
  • Sitting against righty amid slump
    Melendez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

    Advice: The Royals have already scaled back the lefty-hitting Melendez's playing time against southpaws, but he'll take a seat against right-hander Cody Poteet on Wednesday, opening up a start in left field for Garrett Hampson. Since producing a season-high three hits May 10 against the Angels, Melendez has gone 7-for-75 (.093 average) over the past month of action. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 4:05 pm
     
  • Logan O’Hoppe (groin) not in lineup on Wednesday
    Logan O’Hoppe (groin) is not in the Angels’ starting lineup on Wednesday.

    Advice: The 24-year-old backstop took a hard foul ball to the groin area on Tuesday, prompting his removal from the game. He’s still a bit sore on Wednesday so manager Ron Washington thought it would be wise to give him an extra night off. Matt Thaiss will do the catching for the Angels on Wednesday and will bat fifth against right-hander Slade Cecconi and the Diamondbacks. O’Hoppe should still be considered day-to-day.

  • Remains sidelined Wednesday
    O'Hoppe (groin) isn't in the Angels' lineup Wednesday against the Diamondbacks, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: O'Hoppe had to leave Tuesday's game after getting hit below the belt by a foul tip, and he will remain out of the lineup for Wednesday's contest. Matt Thaiss will fill in behind the dish while batting fifth. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:28 pm
     
  • Departs with groin injury Tuesday
    O'Hoppe was removed from Tuesday's loss to the Diamondbacks after taking a foul ball to the groin area, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: O'Hoppe writhed on the ground in pain for a few minutes after being struck by the foul ball in the sixth inning. He was eventually able to walk off the field with trainers but still appeared to be feeling the effects of the impact. It's not yet clear how much time -- if any -- the backstop will need to miss.

  • Three more RBI in win
    Raleigh went 2-for-4 with three RBI from a pair of doubles in a win over the White Sox on Tuesday.

    Advice: The red-hot backstop delivered in the clutch yet again Tuesday, just a day after capping off a wild comeback with a walk-off grand slam. Raleigh cut the Mariners' deficit to one run in the third inning with his first double, plating Julio Rodriguez, before following it up with a seventh-inning two-bagger that brought home Rodriguez and Josh Rojas with tying and game-winning runs. Raleigh now has a jaw-dropping nine RBI in his last three games alone, and his season total of 42 is comfortably a team-high figure. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:33 am
