    • Moves to leadoff
      Smith batted leadoff and went 2-for-4 in Thursday's 3-1 loss to San Diego.

      Advice: Smith was moved up to leadoff, as a slumping Marcus Semien was given a rare day off. Smith continues to be a surprise and leads the Rangers with a 2.7 WAR. He should continue to see regular work at third base with Josh Jung (wrist) not expected to return until after the All-Star break. Rotowire.com Today, 6:22 am

    • Steals base in loss
      Garcia went 0-for-3 with a walk and a steal in Thursday's 3-1 loss to the Padres.

      Advice: Garcia stole his seventh bag of the season in fourth inning then was thrown out at home trying to score on Leody Taveras' single. Garcia, who stole 25 bases (31 attempts) in 2022, is an occasional base stealer these days. He was successful on nine of 10 attempts last year and seven of nine thus far in 2024. Thursday's walk extended Garcia's on-base streak to 14 games (.350 OBP). Rotowire.com Today, 6:15 am
       
    • Scheduled for follow-up MRI
      Friedl (hamstring) is scheduled for a follow-up MRI exam soon, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

      Advice: If the results of the exam show progress, Friedl will likely be cleared to begin running and more advanced baseball activity. The outfielder said he's playing catch and swinging off a tee. Friedl was eligible to be activated off the 10-day injured list July 4. Rotowire.com Today, 5:56 am

    • Swats homer in win
      Martini went 1-for-1 with a walk and a solo home run in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Yankees.

      Advice: Martini put the Reds on top early with a second-inning home run, his fifth of the season and first in 12 games since being recalled from the minors. He later walked and was removed once a left-hander entered the game. He's been a steady lineup presence lately against right-handers, a deployment that should continue until TJ Friedl (hamstring) is ready to return. Rotowire.com Today, 5:45 am
       
    • Homers in win
      Pederson went 1-for-2 with two walks, a solo home run and an additional run scored in Thursday's 12-3 win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Pederson got the rout started early against his former team with a first-inning solo homer. It was his second home run in the last three games and 12th of the season. Pederson maintains career highs in average (.284) and OPS (.896), mostly against right-handed pitching. Just 18 of his 250 plate appearances have come against left-handers.

    • Swipes first bag
      Thomas went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in Thursday's 9-3 win over the Dodgers.

      Advice: Thomas returned to the lineup after getting a day off Wednesday. The day off was likely due to manager Torey Lovullo easing Thomas back into the lineup following a three-month absence on the injured list. The outfielder doesn't have a history as an impact base stealer, but Thomas could help in that category. He's stolen between nine and 15 bases in each of his five seasons in the Diamondbacks' organization. Rotowire.com Today, 5:01 am
       
    • Homer, three hits in win
      DeLuca went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Thursday's win over Kansas City.

      Advice: DeLuca jumped on a hanging sinker from Alec Marsh in the second inning and sent it over the wall in left field for his third home run of the season, extending the Rays' lead to three runs. The outfielder then added an RBI single in the following frame and went on to reach three times in the contest. The long ball was DeLuca's first since May 18 against Toronto and he's now tallied multiple hits in two of his last three starts. However, his average still sits at .180 on the campaign following Thursday's three-hit performance. Rotowire.com Today, 4:29 am
       
    • Finishes single short of cycle
      Sanchez went 3-for-5 with a double, a triple and a two-run home run in an extra-innings loss to the Red Sox on Thursday.

      Advice: Sanchez broke up Boston starter Nick Pivetta's no-hit bid with a triple in the seventh inning. He went on to record a double in the ninth and a game-tying two-run homer in the 11th. It was the second straight three-hit effort for Sanchez, who had been struggling with a .171 average in 11 contests prior to the productive two-game stretch. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:14 pm
       
    • Posts big offensive line Thursday
      O'Neill went 3-for-5 with a double, a walk, a run, two RBI and two stolen bases in a 6-5 extra-innings win against Miami on Thursday.

      Advice: O'Neill accounted for three of Boston's eight total hits to record his third consecutive multi-hit effort. He came up big in extra frames, recording an RBI single in the 11th inning and adding the game-winning RBI on a double in the 12th. O'Neill also collected two thefts in the contest after notching just one steal (on one attempt) over his first 60 games of the season. Swiping bags probably won't become a trend for the outfielder moving forward, though it's worth noting that he stole 29 combined bases across the 2021 and 2022 campaigns while with St. Louis.
