  • Yankees send DJ LaMahieu on rehab assignment
    Yankees sent DJ LaMahieu on a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset.

    Advice: The team was targeting LaMahieu to make a rehab assignment tonight and it looks like they are right on schedule with the 35-year-old. LaMahieu has been recovering from a fractured foot he suffered in the spring and could be a nice boost for the Yankees’ offense who have scored zero runs in two of their past three games. It’s unclear when he’ll make his return to the active roster, but this is a step in the right direction for the veteran infielder. Rotoworld 28 minutes ago

  • Records third steal
    Chapman went 1-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base in Monday's 5-2 win over the Mets.

    Advice: Chapman is up to three steals this year, two of which have come over the last three contests. The third baseman has gone 8-for-24 (.333) with four RBI and six extra-base hits over his last seven contests. He's slashing .226/.280/.430 with four home runs, 14 RBI, 13 runs scored and seven doubles through 100 plate appearances, but his recent performances suggest he's trending in the right direction.

  • Breaks slump with walk-off blast
    Gorman hit a two-run, walk-off home run in his lone at-bat in Monday's 5-3 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Gorman was given Monday off, but ultimately entered the game as a defensive replacement. His lone at-bat ended the game, as he took Kyle Nelson deep in the ninth inning to complete the Cardinals' comeback win. Gorman has four homers, 10 RBI, six runs scored and three doubles over 84 plate appearances this season, but he's slashing just .179/.238/.372 and striking out at a 38.1 percent clip, so he's not out of the woods yet. Gorman should continue to play against most right-handers, but he'll rarely be in the lineup versus southpaws. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Rehab assignment will be brief
    LeMahieu (foot) has said he expects to play "less than five" rehab games before being activated, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: LeMahieu is beginning a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Tuesday. Assuming the Yankees concur with the infielder's assessment of how many rehab games he will require, it sounds like he could be back as soon as the weekend series in Milwaukee. LeMahieu has been out all season with a a bone bruise and non-displaced fracture in his right foot. Oswaldo Cabrera's production has slowed since a hot start, so LeMahieu should quickly regain his role as the primary third baseman. Rotowire.com 51 minutes ago

  • Homers in loss
    Garcia went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Garcia is starting to come around at the plate, going 4-for-17 (.235) over his last four contests following a five-game slump. The third baseman has already matched his homer total from last season (four), which took him 123 games to accumulate in 2023. He's added four steals, 15 RBI, 10 runs scored and a .178/.224/.367 slash line over 98 plate appearances so far, but he remains intriguing in fantasy for his speed. Rotowire.com Today, 9:57 am
     
  • Two hits in 2024 debut
    Mendick went 2-for-4 on Monday against the Twins.

    Advice: Mendick began the season with Triple-A Charlotte but joined the big-league club Monday and made his debut while starting at third base. Braden Shewmake has picked up the majority of at-bats at the hot corner since Yoan Moncada (thigh) went down, though Shewmake is hitless in his last four starts and is just 5-for-35 overall. His struggles could open up more regular playing time for Mendick, though he has only a career .242 average and .112 ISO across 519 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:59 pm
     
  • Struggling of late
    McMahon went 0-for-3 with an RBI on Monday against the Padres.

    Advice: McMahon recorded four hits April 12, but he has only five hits across 38 plate appearances since. He's also struck out at 39.5 percent clip in that span while tallying two RBI and two runs scored. Even with that stretch, McMahon has a .314 average across 100 plate appearances on the campaign.

  • Elehuris Montero goes 0-for-3 in loss
    Elehuris Montero finished 0-for-3 with a strikeout versus the Rockies on Monday.

    Advice: In spite of a greatly reduced strikeout rate, Montero hasn’t experienced any success in the early going, having hit .210/.250/.226 in 68 plate appearances. If he doesn’t pick it up, there’s the chance the Rockies could DFA him after Kris Bryant returns, though it seems more likely that they’ll just send down Michael Toglia or Sean Bouchard. They still might want to try Hunter Goodman in Montero’s place later. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:18 pm
     
  • Three hits in loss
    Suarez went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Monday's 5-3 loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Suarez, who logged his first three-hit performance of the season, entered the game on a 3-for-26 (.115) stretch over the last eight games. The two RBI upped his season total to 16, second on the Diamondbacks behind Lourdes Gurriel (21). Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:11 pm
