  • Clobbers first-inning homer
    Perez went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run during Thursday's 2-1 win over the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Although Thursday's game was called after five innings due to poor weather, Perez managed to make an impact, swatting a two-run shot off Jose Berrios in the first frame. Over the Royals last two series', Perez is batting .435 with eight RBI and one strikeout across 27 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 9:49 pm
     
  • Jose Trevino homers in Yankees’ loss to Athletics
    Jose Trevino went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Thursday in the Yankees’ loss to the Athletics.

    Advice: New York’s offense mustered only one run despite 11 hits in this one as they went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11 men on-base. Trevino was responsible for their lone run with a second-inning homer off Athletics starter Alex Wood. It was his second long ball of the season. Rotoworld Today, 6:43 pm
     
  • Salvador Perez powers Royals past Blue Jays
    Salvador Perez blasted a two-run homer on Thursday, powering the Royals to a 2-1 win over the Blue Jays in a rain-shortened five-inning affair.

    Advice: Perez’s two-run blast off Toronto starter José Berríos wound up being enough for Kansas City as the two teams waited out a nearly four-hour rain delay before the contest was finally called. The 33-year-old ironman is up to seven round-trippers on the season already and figures to cross the 30-homer threshold, if he can stay healthy. Rotoworld Today, 5:21 pm
     
  • Bart continues to swing hot bat with Pirates
    Joey Bart went 1-for-4 with a walk and a three-run homer in a loss to the Brewers on Thursday.

    Advice: Bart has been on fire since joining the Pirates, going 7-for-23 with three home runs, eight RBI, and four runs scored in seven games. That comes with an OPS over 1.200. With Henry Davis struggling, Bart has also started four of the last six games behind the plate and has a chance to take over this job if he keeps swinging the bat well. Remember that Bart was once a trendy catching prospect before Davis became a trendy catching prospect. Just 27 years old, it’s possible that Bart just needed a change of scenery. He’s worth taking a gamble on in all two-catcher leagues. Rotoworld Today, 1:16 pm

  • Set to lose work with Ruiz back
    Adams is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: With Keibert Ruiz (illness) returning from the 10-day injured list Thursday and starting behind the plate in his first game back, Adams' time as the Nationals' No. 1 backstop appears to have ended. He had started in 10 of the Nationals' 11 games while Ruiz was out, going 8-for-33 (.242 average) with four extra-base hits (one home run, three doubles), three runs and two RBI.

  • Draws starting nod Thursday
    Barnes will start at catcher and bat ninth in Thursday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Barnes will pick up his sixth start of the season while top backstop Will Smith gets a breather as the Dodgers and Nationals close their series with a day game after a night game. Over 19 plate appearances to date, Barnes has batted .250 with no extra-base hits, one RBI and one run. Rotowire.com Today, 10:53 am
     
  • Receives rest day
    Smith is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Smith will get a breather for the day game after he pounded out four hits, scored twice and drove in a run in Wednesday night's 11-2 win. Austin Barnes will fill in for Smith behind the plate. Rotowire.com Today, 10:51 am
     
  • Losing work to Amaya
    Gomes is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: The 36-year-old is on the bench for the seventh time in 10 games and appears to have moved into the No. 2 catcher role behind youngster Miguel Amaya, who draws another start Thursday. Gomes is a trusted game caller behind the plate but has taken a big step back with the bat in 2024, posting a .486 OPS while striking out at a career-worst 35.1 percent rate through 37 plate appearances.

    Raleigh (mouth) will start at catcher and bat third in Thursday's game versus the Rangers.
