  • Alec Bohm goes 4-for-4 as cleanup man
    Alec Bohm finished 4-for-4 with two RBI and a walk against the Reds on April 26 on Wednesday.

    Advice: It’s worth wondering if the Phillies might have another win or two if they had just left Bohm in cleanup spot, which is where he finished last year, to begin this season. He’s batting .337.430/.558 in 100 plate appearances. He did hit cleanup tonight, though that’s probably just because usual cleanup man J.T. Realmuto had the night off.

  • Zack Gelof (oblique) likely heading to 10-day IL
    Athletics’ manager Mark Kotsay told reporters after Wednesday’s game that Zack Gelof was diagnosed with a left oblique strain and will likely head to the injured list.

    Advice: That’s a tough break for the Athletics and for fantasy managers who were relying on the dynamic 24-year-old second baseman. No word yet on how much time he may miss, but oblique injuries usually take at least a couple of weeks to recover and could be even longer depending on the severity. Expect Abraham Toro to see additional run at second base for as long as Gelof is sidelined. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:44 pm
     
  • Likely headed for IL
    Gelof was diagnosed with a left oblique strain Wednesday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Gelof's injury was initially described as "left abdominal soreness" and caused him to be scratched from Oakland's lineup prior to Wednesday's game. However, his injury now appears to be more severe than initially thought, and it will likely cause him to land on the injured list. The A's haven't specified how long the 24-year-old may be out for, but Abraham Toro, who filled in for Gelof on Wednesday, will likely see consistent reps at second base in his absence.

  • Shohei Ohtani raises average to .371 in blowout
    Shohei Ohtani went 3-for-6 with a pair of RBI on Wednesday in the Dodgers’ blowout win over the Nationals.

    Advice: We’re running out of superlatives to describe Ohtani’s exploits. He doubled three times in the one-sided affair, including a pair of runs-scoring knocks in the eighth and ninth innings, respectively, to raise his batting average to an astronomical .371 (39-for-105) in the process. The 29-year-old two-way fantasy superstar has put together an unbelievable Dodgers debut so far with a 1.128 OPS to go along with 22 runs scored, six homers, 16 RBI and five steals through 26 games.

  • Zack Gelof (abdomen) scratched from A’s lineup
    Zack Gelof was scratched from the Athletics’ starting lineup on Wednesday night due to left abdominal soreness.

  • Gunnar Henderson homers, doubles versus Angels
    Gunnar Henderson went 3-for-3 with a homer, a double and three RBI in leading the Orioles to a 6-5 win over the Angels on Wednesday.

    Advice: It didn’t seem like anyone really expected Henderson to improve on his terrific rookie campaign this year, but he has in nearly every regard thus far. Boasting some of the game’s best exit velocity numbers, he looks like a legitimate superstar. He’s batting .309/.373/.649 with eight homers through 24 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:18 pm
     
  • Struggles with abdominal soreness
    Gelof was scratched from Oakland's lineup ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Yankees due to left abdominal soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The severity of the 24-year-old infielder's injury is still unknown, but the team could provide more information after the contest. Gelof had not missed a game with 24 straight starts at second base to begin the season, but that starting streak will end Wednesday. Third baseman Abraham Toro will take the field at the keystone in place of Gelof. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:03 pm

    Gelof was scratched from Oakland's lineup ahead of Wednesday's game versus the Yankees, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: It's unclear why the A's took Gelof out of their lineup, but the team should offer some clarity soon. Abraham Toro will replace him at the keystone while batting sixth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:24 pm

    Raleigh isn't starting Wednesday against the Rangers after undergoing an emergency procedure to remove one of his teeth, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

    Advice: Raleigh reportedly played with a broken tooth during Tuesday's win and had it removed early Wednesday. Seby Zavala will start behind the plate for Seattle and bat ninth while Raleigh is sidelined. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:04 pm
