  • Seiya Suzuki doubles and triples in victory
    Seiya Suzuki doubled and tripled in an extra-inning victory Thursday over the Giants.

    Advice: Suzuki drove in a run with his triple in the third to give Chicago a 3-0 cushion. He’s now tripled twice in 2024, while the double was his 11th of the campaign. Suzuki has three extra-base hits over the last two games to help improve his slash to .266/.337/.459. Rotoworld 37 minutes ago
     
  • Ian Happ blasts go-ahead homer in 10th vs. Giants
    Ian Happ hit a go-ahead homer in the 10th to help give the Cubs a 5-3 win over the Giants on Thursday.

    Advice: Happ gave the Cubs a 5-3 lead with a two-run shot off Luke Jackson to give Chicago the 5-3 lead and ultimately the victory. The 29-year-old had been scuffling as of late with just two hits in his last 21 at-bats coming into the contest, but he was able to procure his 10th homer and 41st and 42nd RBI in this one. Happ’s consistency is basically nonexistent, but he’s capable of going on streaks. Perhaps this is the start of a good one. Rotoworld 38 minutes ago
     
  • Kyle Tucker (shin) progresses to hitting again
    Kyle Tucker (shin) progressed to taking 30 swings off a batting tee earlier this week.

    Advice: Tucker is close to resuming running again after landing on the injured list earlier this month with a right shin contusion. It’s a positive sign that he’s progressed to taking some swings again. There isn’t a definitive timetable for his return, but he’s definitely going to need at least a brief minor league rehab assignment before rejoining Houston’s lineup. Rotoworld 42 minutes ago
     
  • Manuel Margot drives in pair in blowout victory
    Manuel Margot went 2-for-5 with two RBI in a victory over the Twins on Thursday.

    Advice: He also scored twice in a game where Minnesota crossed the plate 13 times. Margot picked up his RBI with an infield single in the second and a sacrifice fly an inning later. The 29-year-old has been hitting at the top of the lineup against southpaws as of late, but his .238/.307/.325 slash shows he hasn’t really taken advantage of that slot.

  • Byron Buxton blasts bomb in blowout
    Byron Buxton hit a three-run homer while going 3-for-4 in a 13-6 rout of the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

    Advice: Buxton also scored three runs. The three-run blast came off Scott McGough and gave Minnesota a 11-0 lead and it travelled 456 feet. The outfielder is starting to pick things up offensively, and he’s picked up three hits in two of his last three games while improving his slash to .261/.311/.449. Rotoworld 43 minutes ago
     
  • Sitting Thursday
    Canha is absent from Thursday's lineup against the Angels.

    Advice: Canha had started Detroit's last 22 games but hit only .211 in that span. He had a 15.9 percent strikeout rate in that span -- lessening the reason for concern -- though he'll still get a day of rest. Gio Urshela is sliding to first base, Matt Vierling to third, and Adkil Baddoo enters the lineup in left field. Rotowire.com 48 minutes ago

  • Lars Nootbaar starting rehab assignment on Friday
    Lars Nootbaar (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment on Friday with Double-A Springfield.

    Advice: Nootbaar told reporters Thursday that he expects to play at least five or six rehab contests before returning to the majors. The 26-year-old corner outfielder has been on the shelf since late May recovering from a moderate oblique strain. He’s been snake-bitten by injuries this season, but remains an impactful fantasy contributor, when healthy. Rotoworld Today, 3:01 pm

  • Will Brennan to IL with rib cage inflammation
    Guardians placed OF Will Brennan on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 25, with rib cage inflammation.

    Advice: Brennan heads to the injured list after missing a couple games earlier this week due to a possible oblique issue. He’s been diagnosed with rib cage inflammation, so the hope here is that he isn’t facing a lengthy absence. There should be an official return timetable in the coming days. Rotoworld Today, 2:38 pm
