  • 61-45-4 4th Place
    • Lifts three-run homer
      Jeffers went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

      Advice: Jeffers' seventh-inning blast briefly tied the game at 4-4 before the Diamondbacks took the lead back a half-inning later. The catcher opened June 0-for-17, but he's hit safely in seven of his last eight games, going 8-for-31 (.258) in that span. He's up to a .236/.323/.482 slash line with 13 home runs, 41 RBI, 30 runs scored and two stolen bases over 255 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 10:17 pm
       
    • Ben Rice sitting Tuesday against southpaw
      Ben Rice is not in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Mets.

      Advice: Rice takes a seat on New York’s bench with Mets southpaw David Peterson toeing the rubber. It’ll be newly-acquired veteran J.D. Davis drawing his first start at the cold corner on Tuesday night in his place. The 25-year-old prospect is batting .294 (5-for-17) with one RBI in 21 plate appearances over six games since getting the call to the majors last week. Rotoworld Today, 1:32 pm

    • Idle against lefty
      Rice is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Mets.

      Advice: With J.D. Davis joining the Yankees roster, Rice is expected to enter the strong side of a platoon with Davis at first base. Rice will take a seat Tuesday for the first time since being called up June 18 as the Mets trot out southpaw David Peterson. Rotowire.com Today, 1:11 pm

    • Logs first multi-hit game
      Rice went 2-for-3 in Sunday's loss to Atlanta.

      Advice: Rice was one of two Yankees with multiple hits in the contest, and it was the first multi-hit effort of his career. The 25-year-old started at first base for the fifth time in six contests since being called up, and three of those games have been against left-handed starters, against whom he's gone just 1-for-9. Rice has otherwise held his own overall in going 5-for-17 with a 3:3 BB:K, but he'll likely begin yielding some starts against southpaws to J.D. Davis, whom the Yankees acquired Sunday.

    • Ben Rice with two hits in loss
      Ben Rice went 2-for-3 on Sunday against the Braves.

      Advice: Rice has been totally fine in his first week of play with a .294 average and the same number of walks as strikeouts. He’s yet to find his first extra-base hit yet but does not seem over-matched by major league pitching. Rotoworld Sunday, 1:07 pm

    • Out of Sunday's lineup
      Jeffers isn't in the Twins' lineup for Sunday's game against Oakland.

      Advice: Jeffers has alternated starts behind the plate with Christian Vazquez for most of June, and Sunday will simply mark Vazquez's turn to serve as Minnesota's catcher while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:18 am
       
    • 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 Thursday, 11:15 am

    • Heading to bench Wednesday
      Jeffers is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

      Advice: With solid counting statistics (12 home runs, two stolen bases, 37 RBI and 28 runs) and a non-toxic batting average (.234), Jeffers has been one of the top fantasy catchers this season, but he's started to lose some of his shine in recent weeks. He's slashing just .153/.240/.259 overall since May 15, and his ongoing struggles at the dish have begun to cost him some playing time. He'll give way Wednesday to Christian Vazquez, who remains the Twins' No. 2 catcher but seems to have moved his way into more of a timeshare with Jeffers behind the dish.

    • 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
