  • Two doubles in loss
    Soler went 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Saturday's loss to the Dodgers.

    Advice: Soler doubled in his first at-bat before coming around to score the Giants' first run of the game on a sac fly from Heliot Ramos. The slugger then added an RBI double to tie the game at 2-2 in the third, giving him three extra-base hits over his last three games. Soler is now batting .275 this month with three homers, eight doubles, 14 RBI and 10 runs scored - a far cry from his .164 average in May. Rotowire.com Today, 8:16 am
     
  • Jorge Soler doubles twice in loss to Dodgers
    Jorge Soler went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles, a run scored and an RBI as the Giants fell to the Dodgers in extra innings on Saturday evening in San Francisco.

    Advice: Soler led off the home half of the first inning with a double off of Tyler Glasnow, then scored the team’s first run on a sacrifice fly off the bat of Heliot Ramos. Soler also drove in a run of his own with an RBI double off of Glasnow in the third inning, tying the game at 2-2. Perhaps staying in the leadoff spot is the way to get him going. Soler is now hitting .226/.306/.389 with nine homers and 30 RBI on the year. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:06 pm
     
  • Resting versus LHP
    Suwinski isn't in the Pirates' lineup for Saturday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: With left-handed starter Max Fried set to toe the slab for Atlanta, Suwinski will remain in the dugout for the beginning of Saturday's contest. Michael Taylor will fill the void in center field, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:59 am

  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. returns to lineup on Saturday
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. (hand) is back in the lineup for Saturday’s game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Chisholm is back in center field and leading in the wake of a one-game absence from Friday’s game against the Phillies after taking a 93 mph fastball from lefty Matt Strahm off his right hand during Thursday’s series opener. X-rays came back negative for any fractures and it doesn’t seem like he’s going to miss any additional time moving forward. The 26-year-old has been remarkably durable this season, managing to play through several minor physical ailments. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:53 am
     
  • Homers in loss
    Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two total runs scored in Friday's 9-4 loss to the Athletics.

    Advice: Gurriel has multiple hits in seven of his last nine games, going 15-for-35 (.429) in that span. The outfielder's surge has lifted his slash line to .267/.301/.422 with 11 homers, 47 RBI, 37 runs scored and three stolen bases over 76 contests this season. Gurriel's .723 OPS is still the lowest mark of his career, but he's been trending in the right direction for most of June after entering the month with a .642 OPS. Rotowire.com Friday, 11:35 pm
     
  • Lourdes Gurriel hits homer in loss to A’s
    Lourdes Gurriel went 2-for-4 with a homer and two RBI in a loss to the A’s on Friday.

    Advice: Gurriel drove in a run in the first with an RBI single, and he clobbered a solo homer to tie the game at 3-3 in the sixth; both of those hits coming off JP Sears. The veteran outfielder has been inconsistent — something that has followed him for most of his career — but the two-hit night has his average up to .267 and his OPS up to .723 with 11 homers and 47 RBI through 303 at-bats. You can do better, but there’s definitely worse bench options as well. Rotoworld Friday, 10:19 pm
     
  • Jazz Chisholm Jr. (hand) sits after hit-by-pitch
    Jazz Chisholm Jr. (hand) was held out of the Marlins’ starting lineup on Friday after being hit by a pitch on Thursday.

    Advice: X-rays came back negative for any fractures, but the 26-year-old outfielder was still a bit sore on Friday so the decision was made to hold him out of action. Chisholm will be available off the Marlins’ bench on Friday and is expected to return to the starting lineup on Saturday. Rotoworld Friday, 1:41 pm
     
  • Taking seat Friday
    Chisholm is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Phillies.

    Advice: Chisholm had made seven consecutive starts, so Friday's absence can be chalked up to a rest day for the center fielder. Bryan De La Cruz, Vidal Brujan and Dane Myers fill the outfield from left to right. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:26 pm
     
  • Marlins sit Chisholm, Sánchez against tough lefty
    The Marlins have both Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Jesús Sánchez on the bench for Friday’s game against Cristopher Sánchez and the Phillies.

    Advice: Both players have been starting against most southpaws as of late, but Cristopher Sánchez has really carved up left-handed hitters this year, limiting them to a .459 OPS. As a result, Vidal Bruján is getting the start in center, and Dane Myers, making his first start since June 15, is playing right. Rotoworld Friday, 12:23 pm
