  • Goes deep again Tuesday
    McMahon went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's loss to the Athletics.

    Advice: McMahon kicked off the scoring with a two-run blast in the first inning off of Aaron Brooks for his only hit of the evening. He's now upped his hitting streak to nine games and is slashing .378/.310/.676 with three homers, seven RBI and nine runs scored. He's maintained an average north of .300 for the majority of the season thus far and is currently riding a streak of 19 consecutive plate appearances without striking out.

  • Not in lineup
    Senzel is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Twins, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

    Advice: Senzel went 0-for-5 with a walk in the first two games of the series and will receive a day off for the finale. The Nationals will roll with Ildemaro Vargas at third base against Simeon Woods Richardson and the Twins. Rotowire.com Today, 8:10 am

  • Not in Wednesday's lineup
    Manzardo is absent from the lineup in Wednesday's game versus the Mets.

    Advice: In Jose Quintana, the Guardians are facing their second southpaw since Kyle Manzardo was promoted, and the left-handed hitting rookie has been on the bench for both of them. Jose Ramirez is getting a start at designated hitter Wednesday, with Gabriel Arias handling third base. Rotowire.com Today, 7:55 am
     
  • Day off versus left-hander
    Naylor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Mets.

    Advice: The Mets are starting left-hander Jose Quintana and the two teams are concluding the series with a day game after a night game, so it's a sensible spot for Guardians manager Stephen Vogt to give the left-handed-hitting Naylor a breather. David Fry will start at first base Wednesday in Naylor's stead. Rotowire.com Today, 7:47 am

  • Carlos Santana gets day off versus Nationals
    Carlos Santana is on the bench Wednesday for the first time in two weeks.

    Advice: After the last time Santana didn’t start, he responded by going 7-for-16 with three homers in his next four games. Since then, though, he’s 4-for-27 with no extra-base hits, no RBI and one walk in seven games, leaving him at .201/.270/.365 for the season. At some point, the Twins are probably going to turn him into more of a platoon player against lefties. Rotoworld Today, 7:41 am
     
  • Brett Baty sits against second straight righty
    Brett Baty is out of the lineup against a righty for a second straight game Wednesday against the Guardians.

    Advice: While Baty and Mark Vientos had been platooning, it figured that Vientos would get one start against the Guardians, just because the Mets didn’t want him to sit around doing nothing for four days (three straight righties followed by an off day). Vientos, though, did very well with his start last night, going 2-for-4 with a double and a walk, and he’s getting the nod again in this one. It wouldn’t be much of a surprise to see Baty demoted soon. Rotoworld Today, 7:33 am
     
  • Sitting against right-hander again
    Baty is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Baty is on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Triston McKenzie), likely signaling that he's at least temporarily lost hold of his role as the Mets' preferred third baseman. Though he's drawn positive reviews for his work defensively this season, Baty has failed to take a notable step forward at the plate, as he's posted a .611 OPS through 150 plate appearances. Baty has performed especially poorly over the past three weeks, going just 5-for-40 with 19 strikeouts against three walks across a stretch of 13 games. Mark Vientos looks like he'll get an extended look at the hot corner as the Mets look to bolster their slumping offense. Rotowire.com Today, 7:11 am
     
  • Crosses plate twice in loss
    Rivera went 2-for-4 with a double, two runs scored and an RBI in Tuesday's 7-5 loss to the Brewers.

    Advice: Getting the start at third base and batting seventh against lefty Robert Gasser, Rivera had his first multi-hit performance since May 1 and his first extra-base hit since April 28. The 27-year-old has been back in a short-side platoon role for most of May with Jake Burger healthy, and Rivera's hitting just .240 (6-for-25) on the month with two RBI and five runs.

  • Resting Wednesday
    Santana is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Santana will take a seat for the series finale in Washington, ending a stretch of 12 consecutive starts during which he's run hot at the plate with a .283/.298/.522 slash line. Alex Kirilloff will fill in for Santana at first base. Rotowire.com Today, 6:57 am
