  • Idle against lefty
    Massey is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: With ace southpaw Tarik Skubal on the hill for the Tigers, the Royals will stock up on extra right-handed bats in the series finale. The lefty-hitting Massey will thus cede his spot at the keystone to the right-handed-hitting Garrett Hampson. Rotowire.com Today, 8:40 am
     
  • Playing time on downswing
    Frazier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: Frazier has now started just twice in the Royals' last six games and seems to have transitioned into a full-time utility role. The 32-year-old has produced a career-worst .547 OPS over 109 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com Today, 8:39 am

  • Not in Wednesday's lineup
    Pillar is not in the lineup for Wednesday's contest in Houston.

    Advice: Pillar homered in Tuesday's loss to the Astros and has been scorching hot since joining the Angels, putting up a 1.226 OPS with four home runs and four stolen bases. He's still not quite being treated like an everyday player, though, as he's now been out of the lineup three of the last four times the Halos have faced a righty. Mickey Moniak will patrol center field in this one. Rotowire.com Today, 8:38 am
     
  • Working behind plate Wednesday
    Fermin will start at catcher and bat sixth in Wednesday's game against the Tigers.

    Advice: He'll be rewarded with his third start in four games after going 4-for-7 with a walk, an RBI and two runs between his previous two turns behind the plate. The Royals will likely continue to make room for Fermin in the lineup when the team opposes left-handed pitching, but his opportunities against right-handers will likely remain more limited while top backstop Salvador Perez is healthy.

  • Leaves yard Tuesday
    Davis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's in over the Rockies.

    Advice: Davis got the A's on the board with a solo blast off Cal Quantrill in the third inning. It was his first home run since he had two against the Guardians on March 29 and just his second hit in his last 20 plate appearances since May 11. The 31-year-old has lost out on playing time due to his offensive struggles. He's now slashing .196/.237/.337 with seven extra-base hits, three RBI, 10 runs and a 4:25 BB:K in 97 plate appearances.

  • Day off Wednesday
    O'Hoppe is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game in Houston.

    Advice: It's a routine day off for the Angels' top catcher. Matt Thaiss will do the catching for Tyler Anderson on Wednesday while O'Hoppe gets some rest. Rotowire.com Today, 8:34 am
     
  • Hoping to take BP soon
    The Mets are aiming for Alvarez (thumb) to begin taking batting practice during their May 24-to-June 2 homestand, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.

    Advice: It's been a month since Alvarez had surgery to address a torn UCL in his left thumb and he's almost ready to pick up a bat as he advances his rehab. The catcher remains on track to return to the Mets' active roster in mid- to late-June. Rotowire.com Today, 8:32 am
     
  • Francisco Alvarez (thumb) could hit next week
    Francisco Alvarez could begin taking batting practice next week as he continues his recovery from a torn UCL in his left thumb.

    Advice: Alvarez is about a month away from returning, assuming that everything goes as hoped. He had surgery on the thumb on April 23. Rotoworld Today, 8:30 am
     
  • Swats homer in defeat
    Pillar went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and a walk in Tuesday's loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Pillar took Bryan Abreu deep in the seventh to put the Angels back up 5-4 and extend his hitting streak to eight games. He's been on an absolute tear since signing with the Angels on April 30. In the month of May, Pillar is slashing .426/.460/.766 with four homers, 17 RBI, 12 runs and a 2:9 BB:K through 14 games. Prior to his release from the White Sox on April 26, the 35-year-old was slashing just .160/.290/.360 with a homer, four RBI, a run scored and a 4:8 BB:K through 17 games. Rotowire.com Today, 3:59 am
