  • Jorge Matero homers, plates two against Yankees
    Jorge Mateo went 1-for-2 with a homer and two RBI against the Yankees on Thursday.

    Advice: Mateo took Carlos Rodón deep — one of three homers the Orioles hit against the southpaw Thursday — and he now is the proud owner of his first homer of 2024. He also drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the fifth. Mateo needs to hit to stave off a plethora of quality prospects in Triple-A, and so far so good with a .268/.340/.488 slash across 41 at-bats. Rotoworld Today, 2:05 pm

  • Juan Soto hits first triple with Yankees in loss
    Juan Soto went 2-for-4 with a triple in a loss Thursday to the Orioles.

    Advice: A day after Soto stole two bases, Soto showed off his wheels again with his first triple of the season, and first as a member of the Yankees. Speed kills. Soto also singled and has forged an outstanding slash of .331/.441/.589 to begin his campaign. Rotoworld Today, 2:05 pm

  • Ryan Mountcastle’s homer helps O’s beat Yankees
    Ryan Mountcastle went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in a 7-2 win for the Orioles over the Yankees on Thursday.

    Advice: Mountcastle tied the game at 1-1 with his solo homer off Carlos Rodón in the third inning. That’s the fifth homer of the year, and his RBI single in the fifth brings that total to 16. It’s easy to forget about the 27-year-old because of all the star power in Baltimore, but Mountcastle is no slouch, and he’s slashing .290/.345/.495 to prove it. Rotoworld Today, 2:05 pm
     
  • Stallings swats three-run homer against Marlins
    Jacob Stallings hit a three-run homer in an extra-inning loss to the Marlins on Thursday.

    Advice: Stallings took Edward Cabrera deep in the second inning with a pair of runners on. The 34-year-old has his first homer as a member of the Rockies, and it comes against one of his former teams. Stallings hasn’t only received 29 at-bats, but he’s made the most of them with a .345/.429/.517 slash. Rotoworld Today, 1:58 pm
     
  • Josh Bell swats fourth homer of season Thursday
    Josh Bell hit a solo homer Thursday in a victory over the Rockies.

    Advice: Bell tied the game at 3-3 with a solo homer off Peter Lambert. The 31-year-old has gone deep four times in the first 33 games of action for the Marlins while registering a .579 OPS. Those numbers will go up, but maybe not enough to suggest him as a fantasy option in the majority of redraft leagues. Rotoworld Today, 1:58 pm

  • Jesús Sánchez knocks in game-winner in 10th
    Jesús Sánchez went 1-for-4 with the hit being a game-winning single in the 10th against the Rockies on Thursday.

    Advice: With the score tied 7-7, Sánchez went the opposite way to score Luis Arraez to give Miami the victory and their third-consecutive win. So far in 2024 Sánchez has driven in 13 runs over 33 games, and he’s slashing .237/.298/.316. Expect lots of ups and downs for the outfielder throughout the campaign. Rotoworld Today, 1:58 pm
     
  • Red Sox ship Bobby Dalbec back to Triple-A
    Red Sox optioned INF Bobby Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester.

    Advice: Dalbec heads back to the minors to clear a spot on Boston’s roster to activate Vaughn Grissom for Friday’s series opener against the Twins. The 28-year-old batted .137 (7-for-51) with zero homers and two steals this season in 21 games. Rotoworld Today, 1:33 pm

  • Demotion coming
    The Red Sox will option Dalbec to Triple-A Worcester on Friday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports.

    Advice: Dalbec no longer had a path to clear playing time after the Red Sox signed Dominic Smith to split time at first base with Garrett Cooper, so he will head to the minors to serve as an organizational depth piece. The 28-year-old has slashed just .137/.200/.176 across 56 plate appearances with Boston this season. Rotowire.com Today, 1:31 pm
