  • Mookie Betts tallies four hits in Dodgers’ win
    Mookie Betts went 4-for-6 with a pair of RBI on Wednesday in the Dodgers’ lopsided win over the Nationals.

    Advice: Is there anything left to say at this juncture? Betts surreal start to the 2024 campaign continued in Los Angeles’ lopsided win at Nationals Park with his third four-hit performance of the year, raising his batting average to an astronomical .365 (38-for-104) in the process. The 31-year-old five-category fantasy superstar has scored 26 runs to go along with six homers, 21 RBI and five steals through 26 contests. Rotoworld 9 minutes ago

  • Run bases Wednesday
    Albies (toe) took part in baserunning as part of a workout prior to Atlanta's game against the Marlins on Wednesday, Justin Toscano of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Advice: Albies continues to trend in a positive direction in his recovery from a fractured right big toe, which he sustained April 16. The second baseman had already participated in fielding drills and resumed swinging a bat in recent days, and being able to run the bases is another sign that he's no longer inhibited by the injury. Albies is first eligible for activation from the 10-day injured list Friday, and he appears on track to play this weekend versus the Guardians if he avoids any setbacks coming out of Wednesday's workout.

  • Logs hit in return
    Alexander started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Alexander returned to the lineup after missing two games due to a hamstring. He was moved up to second in the order, as a couple of Arizona regulars were getting a breather. Alexander also committed his fourth throwing error of the season (minus-7 outs above average), although the fielding issues haven't impacted his playing time or offense. Alexander is hitting .316/.371/.915 with four doubles, three home runs and 15 RBI over 62 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 46 minutes ago
     
  • 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.

    Advice: The dynamic 24-year-old infielder is considered day-to-day. Abraham Toro replaced him in Wednesday’s lineup against the Yankees, batting sixth and playing second base against right-hander Clarke Schmidt. Rotoworld Today, 5:13 pm

  • Thairo Estrada leaves game with hamstring injury
    Thairo Estrada was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Mets due to tightness in his left hamstring.

    Advice: The 28-year-old infielder tried to talk his way into staying in the game, so hopefully the injury isn’t that serious. The Giants should provide an update on his status after the game, but it sounds like Estrada should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld Today, 4:05 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 Today, 4:03 pm

  • Battling hamstring tightness
    Estrada was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mets due to left hamstring tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Estrada reportedly wanted to play through his injury, suggesting that his removal was more of a precautionary decision. The Giants don't play Thursday, so the 28-year-old will get an extra day to recover and may be able to return Friday without missing any time. Rotowire.com Today, 3:57 pm

  • Added to lineup Wednesday
    Toro is starting at second base and batting sixth for Wednesday's outing against the Yankees.

    Advice: The switch-hitting infielder was originally left out of the starting nine for Wednesday's matchup, but he will take the field and make his first start at second base after Zack Gelof (abdomen) was scratched. Toro currently has a .232/.293/.377 slash line with two home runs, eight RBI and eight runs through 21 games. Rotowire.com Today, 3:49 pm

  • Late scratch Wednesday
    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 Today, 3:24 pm
