  • 63-67-14 7th Place
    • Connects for first homer of 2024
      Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to the Twins.

      Advice: Duran finally got on the board with his first long ball of the season, though that wasn't enough to save him from being lifted for a defensive replacement (Travis Jankowski) later in the game. While Duran now has a .284 batting average, he has just a .683 OPS and his playing time has been trending downward. The 25-year-old had been in the starting lineup for just two of the Rangers' last six games entering Saturday. Rotowire.com Saturday, 11:37 pm

    • Brendan Donovan plates go-ahead run in eighth
      Brendan Donovan laced a go-ahead two-run single into left field in the eighth inning on Saturday night, propelling the Cardinals to a 7-6 victory over the Cubs.

      Advice: The Cardinals entered the eighth inning trailing 4-3, but that was erased on an RBI single by Matt Carpenter. Donovan then followed with a two-run single to give the Cardinals the lead, then he scored on an RBI triple off the bat of Lars Nootbaar. Donovan finished the night 2-for-4 with a pair of runs scored and is now hitting .233/.311/.368 with four homers and 25 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Saturday, 7:18 pm

    • Gavin Sheets clears bases with triple Saturday
      Gavin Sheets went 1-for-4 with a triple and three RBI against the Orioles on Saturday.

      Advice: The White Sox loaded the bases with two outs in the fifth inning for Sheets, who lined a triple to center field that cleared the bases and brought in all three runs for Chicago. The 28-year-old outfielder is hitting .242/.352/.403 with three homers and 17 RBI across 176 plate appearances. Rotoworld Saturday, 2:24 pm

    • Ezequiel Duran launches first homer vs. Twins
      Ezequiel Duran went 1-for-3 with a solo homer against the Twins on Saturday.

      Advice: Duran hadn’t hit a home run over 34 games to start the season going into Saturday’s contest against the Twins. He finally got on the board with a solo shot off Chris Paddack in the fifth inning. The 25-year-old utility man is getting sporadic playing time around the diamond. He’s hitting 284/.346/.337 with eight runs and six RBI across 104 plate appearances. Rotoworld Saturday, 2:11 pm

    • Clubs third homer
      Martinez went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Giants.

      Advice: The veteran DH also struck out three times, as he continues to lock in his timing at the plate following a delayed start to the season. Through 25 games as a Met, Martinez is slashing .289/.326/.456 with three homers and 10 RBI. The home run was Martinez's third from May 11 through Friday. Rotowire.com Saturday, 7:27 am

    • Moves up order
      Smith batted third and went 1-for-3 in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Twins.

      Advice: Smith, who made a 10th consecutive start, batted out of the three hole for a second straight game. Earlier in the week, he batted cleanup. He's been an under-the-radar producer for the Rangers, ranking second among the team's regulars with a .782 OPS, and he has been rewarded with a promotion in the order against right-handers.

    • Sitting for second time in series
      Haniger is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.

      Advice: Haniger will hit the bench for the second time in the series, and he could find himself in more of a part-time role or short-side platoon role moving forward after the Mariners recently welcomed Dominic Canzone back from the injured list. With Canzone and the hot-hitting Luke Raley having made cases for regular roles in the corner outfield, Mitch Garver could represent Haniger's primary competition for playing time at designated hitter. Haniger has turned in an underwhelming .587 OPS in May and is slashing .217/.280/.361 overall on the season. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:22 am
       
    • Losing out on playing time
      Duran is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies.

      Advice: Duran is on the bench for the third time in four games and looks set to fill more of a part-time role moving forward now that Evan Carter is healthy again after a back injury recently kept him out of the lineup for more than a week. The Rangers still have an opening in the lineup at designated hitter while Wyatt Langford (hamstring) is on the shelf, but manager Bruce Bochy appears content to rotate a number of different players at that spot.

    • Retreating to bench Wednesday
      Springer is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

      Advice: After sitting out three times in four-game stretch from May 10 through 13 while he recovered from an illness, Springer started in each of Toronto's last six games while going 3-for-20 with four walks and two doubles. Despite his lackluster production over the past week, Springer isn't believed to be dealing with any physical issues, so his absence from the lineup Wednesday is most likely a maintenance day.
