  • Jon Singleton hits third homer in loss to Astros
    Jon Singleton went 2-for-4 and hit a two-run homer Sunday against the Mariners.

    Advice: It sure seems like the Astros were missing out by not going from José Abreu to Singleton earlier. Joey Loperfido still might wind up as Houston’s first baseman, but Singleton has earned himself a longer look by hitting .268 with three homers in his 16 starts this year.

  • Back to baseball work
    Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that LeMahieu (foot) recently resumed hitting but that the veteran infielder may not be "that close to being ready for rehab [games]," Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The 35-year-old was shut down for a week in late April after he experienced swelling in his foot during a rehab game, and he's now back to taking part in baseball activities. It's an encouraging development following the setback, but LeMahieu still has some work to do in his recovery before again being cleared for minor-league action. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:35 pm

  • Josh Naylor hits eighth homer against Angels
    Josh Naylor went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer against the Angels on Sunday.

    Advice: That’s eight homers and 26 RBI in 32 games for Naylor. He’s fifth in the AL in both categories (tied for fifth in homers). Maybe he won’t keep up the home run pace, but he should boast exceptional RBI numbers throughout. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:21 pm
     
  • Brandon Drury goes 0-for-4 in loss to Guardians
    Brandon Drury went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the loss to the Guardians on Sunday.

    Advice: Drury is fortunate injuries have left his playing time unchallenged, since he’s struggled mightily in hitting .161/.225/.215. His strikeout rate is actually down, but his power has followed, and he’s been pretty unlucky when it comes to picking up singles. Still, he’ll probably have until Anthony Rendon returns to snap out of it. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:20 pm
     
  • Ready to go Sunday
    Bohm (hip) is starting at third base and batting fifth Sunday against the Giants, Scott Lauber of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

    Advice: The 27-year-old was removed from Saturday's contest due to right hip tightness but is back in the starting nine a day later. Bohm has been one of the best hitters in baseball through the first five weeks of the season with a .364/.435/.579 slash line in 34 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:11 pm

  • Contract selected by Friars
    The Padres selected Solano's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Sunday.

    Advice: The 36-year-old joined San Diego on a minor-league deal in mid-April and will join the big club after he posted an .847 OPS in 12 games with El Paso. Solano isn't likely to see significant playing time, especially following the Padres' acquisition of Luis Arraez. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:47 pm
     
  • Padres select contract of Donovan Solano
    Padres selected the contract of INF Donovan Solano from Triple-A El Paso.

    Advice: Solano will provide a bench bat option for the Padres now that he’s up on the roster. The 36-year-old was signed to a minor-league deal on April 15, and he’ll likely get most of his playing time against southpaws while with San Diego. Eguy Rosario is down in a corresponding transaction. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:40 pm
     
  • Idle against lefty
    O'Hearn is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting O'Hearn finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row while Cincinnati brings another southpaw (Nick Lodolo) to the hill. O'Hearn's absence will allow the Orioles to give infielder Gunnar Henderson a day off playing defense, as the third-year player instead serves as Baltimore's designated hitter.

  • Exiting starting nine Sunday
    Davis is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Following a stint on the 10-day injured list due to an adductor strain, Davis was activated Friday and had started at first base in both of his first two games back in action, going 2-for-7 with a run scored between those contests. The Athletics haven't indicated that Davis suffered a setback in his recovery from the injury, so his absence Sunday is presumably a pre-planned maintenance day. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:01 pm
