    • Keeps power surge going
      Ramirez went 2-for-5 with a solo home run, an RBI double and two total runs scored in Saturday's 7-2 win over the Royals.

      Advice: Ramirez has already had a strong first half of the campaign, but he's been especially impressive lately. Over his last 12 games, he's batting .340 (17-for-50) with five homers, four stolen bases, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored. He's now hitting .280 on the year with an .890 OPS, 23 homers, 75 RBI, 64 runs scored and 15 steals. He's on pace to return to the 30-homer mark for the first time since 2021, and he could have a chance to challenge for his first 40-homer campaign. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:02 am
       
    • Juan Soto (hand) not in lineup against Blue Jays
      Juan Soto (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against the Blue Jays

      Advice: Soto will sit after being scratched from Saturday’s lineup with a contusion in his right hand. The 25-year-old outfielder had his imaging come back clean, but he’ll need at least one more day off before having a chance to return to the starting lineup later in the week. J.D. Davis is in the lineup as Soto’s replacement as the designated hitter while Aaron Judge patrols right field. Rotoworld Sunday, 9:12 am
       
    • Out Sunday, set for tests on hand
      Soto is out of the lineup for Sunday's game in Toronto and said that he may get an MRI or CT scan on his bruised right hand when the Yankees return to New York on Monday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: Though Soto will remain on the bench for a second straight game, he said that his hand feels better than it did Saturday, when he was scratched from the lineup ahead of the Yankees' 9-3 loss to the Blue Jays after experiencing pain and weakness while swinging the bat. He plans to swing again prior to Sunday's contest, perhaps indicating that the testing he's slated to undergo Monday will be mostly precautionary in nature. After Monday's off day, the Yankees will return to action Tuesday with a three-game set against the Reds. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:10 am
       
    • Continues power surge
      Merrill went 3-for-5 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and a double in an 11-1 rout of the Red Sox on Saturday.

      Advice: Merrill increased San Diego's lead to 4-0 with a fourth-inning solo blast and capped the scoring in the contest with an RBI double in the eighth. The rookie has homered in back-to-back contests and in half of his past 10 games. Extended further, Merrill's power surge has included nine long balls over his past 16 contests, and he's slashing .333/.365/.817 with 18 RBI and 12 runs during that stretch.

    • Launches homer in loss
      Goldschmidt went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 9-4 loss to the Reds.

      Advice: Goldschmidt went hitless in his previous two games, though he's gone 14-for-59 (.237) with four homers and eight RBI over his last 15 contests. The first baseman is up to 11 long balls on the year as his power has slowly returned in June. He's added 33 RBI, 39 runs scored, four stolen bases and 10 doubles while slashing .228/.297/.365 over 79 games this season. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:33 pm
       
    • Solo shot in Saturday's loss
      Garcia went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and a double in Saturday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.

      Advice: Garcia's blast got the Rangers within a run in the eighth inning, but they failed to tie the game. The outfielder has hit safely in eight of the last nine games, going 10-for-35 (.286) with three homers and four RBI in that span. He's still slashing just .220/.280/.422 on the year with 16 long balls, 44 RBI, 43 runs scored, six stolen bases and 12 doubles across 79 contests. Rotowire.com Saturday, 8:21 pm
       
    • Eyeing July return
      Trout (knee) said Saturday that he's basically pain-free and expects to be reinstated from the 10-day injured list by the end of July, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. Trout has yet to start running.

      Advice: Manager Ron Washington said earlier Saturday that Trout was close to resuming baseball activities, and the veteran outfielder later confirmed as much. Outside of occasional soreness in his left knee as he recovers from surgery on a torn meniscus in May, Trout isn't experiencing any recurring pain and is eager to ramp up his workouts. Considering he's missed two months of action, Trout will likely require a rehab assignment in the minors before being activated from the IL. Rotowire.com Saturday, 4:37 pm

    • Mike Trout (knee) plans return before end of July
      Mike Trout (knee) told reporters on Saturday that he plans to return from the injured list before the end of July.

      Advice: The 32-year-old superstar also noted that he’s pretty much pain-free except for some occasional soreness. Trout also admitted that he has yet to start running and there’s currently no timetable for him to do so. Interesting. This is starting to sound like a situation where the Angels are going to provide no updates, then suddenly one day he’ll be activated from the injured list and return to the lineup without anyone being the wiser.
