    • Luis Robert Jr. slugs game-tying homer off the bench
      Luis Robert Jr. went 1-for-1 with a solo homer against the Mariners on Wednesday.

      Advice: Robert Jr. was on the bench for this one and entered the game as a pinch-hitter to lead off the top of the ninth. With the White Sox trailing by one run, he took Mike Baumann deep to tie things up. The 26-year-old outfielder is slashing .196/.250/.554 with six homers, nine RBI, and one steal across 60 plate appearances. Rotoworld Wednesday, 9:22 pm
       
    • Colton Cowser hits go-ahead homer in eighth
      Colton Cowser came off the bench to hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth as the Orioles bested the Braves 4-2 on Wednesday.

      Advice: Cowser was on the bench in favor of Austin Hays against a right-hander tonight, but that’s just not something the Orioles need to do with any real frequency. Even though Cowser’s numbers have come down after a hot start, his batted ball stats remain strong. He’s definitely one of the Orioles’ top three outfield options versus righties.

    • Sitting Wednesday
      Robert isn't in the White Sox's lineup for Wednesday's game against Seattle.

      Advice: Robert has slashed .148/.233/.481 with three homers and four RBI in seven games since returning from the injured list. He'll get a breather Wednesday while Corey Julks, Oscar Colas and Zach DeLoach start across the Sox's outfield. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 2:56 pm
       
    • Luis Robert Jr. getting a night off on Wednesday
      Luis Robert Jr. is not in the White Sox’ starting lineup for Wednesday evening’s tilt against the Mariners.

      Advice: The White Sox have been careful as they ease their 26-year-old superstar back into action after missing nearly two months with a hip injury. He’ll presumably be available off the bench in this one. On the season, he’s slashing just .182/.237/.491 to go along with five homers, eight RBI and one swipe in his first 14 games. Rotoworld Wednesday, 2:38 pm
       
    • Heading to bench Wednesday
      Cowser is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

      Advice: Cowser will retreat to the bench Wednesday, opening up a spot in center field for Cedric Mullins. With Austin Hays making a second straight start in left field after a four-game absence due to a rib injury, the Baltimore outfield is more crowded these days, but Hays and Cowser should have an edge over the struggling Mullins for starting roles alongside right fielder Anthony Santander more often than not. Cowser is hitting just .161 since the beginning of June but still holds a 206-point edge over Mullins in OPS on the season (.738 to .532). Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:04 pm
       
    • Bryan Reynolds triples to break end no-hit bid
      Bryan Reynolds went 1-for-3 with a triple in the Pirates’ win over the Cardinals on Tuesday.

      Advice: Reynolds broke up a no-hitter in the seventh inning when he hit a leadoff triple off Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas. His hit was just one of three the Pirates tallied on the evening, but it was enough to extend his hitting streak to nine games. Reynolds is now slashing .353/.405/.529 in June with one homer and five RBI. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:25 pm
       
    • Requires more rehab time
      The Rockies elected not to activate Jones (knee/back) from the 10-day injured list Monday as previously planned, as the club determined that the outfielder needs more time in the minors to find his proper swing, MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Before he was placed on the IL on April 30 with a low-back strain, Jones had gotten off to a disappointing start to the season, slashing just .170/.243/.277 with a 35.9 percent strikeout rate over 103 plate appearances. After starting up a rehab assignment in mid-May, Jones played in just three games before being shut down with a left knee injury, but he was cleared to report back to Triple-A Albuquerque on June 2. Though Jones hasn't reported any issues with his back or knee since returning to action, he's still hitting just .231 with a 36.7 percent strikeout rate in his seven games during the second rehab assignment. The Rockies likely want to see Jones find some success in the minors prior to activating him, so the 26-year-old could remain with Albuquerque through at least Thursday before the Rockies return home Friday to begin a series with the Pirates.

    • Belts homer in loss
      Robert went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and a walk Monday in a loss to the Mariners.

      Advice: Robert broke a scoreless tie in the sixth inning with a two-run blast to left field. It was his third homer in six games since returning June 4 from a nearly two-month absence due to a hip injury. Robert has only one hit aside from the trio of long balls since his return, and he's batting just .167 (4-for-24) during that span. Rotowire.com Monday, 10:15 pm
       
    • Jake Fraley out Sunday against Cubs
      Jake Fraley is not in the lineup for Sunday’s game against the Cubs.

      Advice: Raley will begin Sunday’s contest on the bench against southpaw Shota Imanaga. The 29-year-old outfielder gets rest with Blake Dunn getting the start in left field and Spencer Steer moving to designated hitter. Rotoworld Sunday, 7:31 am
