  • Sitting against southpaw Wednesday
    Garcia is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: With lefty Andrew Heaney on the hill for Texas, the lefty-hitting Garcia will move to the bench Wednesday. Ildemaro Vargas will pick up the start at second base in place of Garcia, who has now sat out three times -- all against southpaws -- in the last four games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:24 pm
     
  • Albies picks up two more hits, RBI in loss to M’s
    Ozzie Albies went 2-for-4 with an RBI in a loss Tuesday to the Mariners.

    Advice: Albies has driven in runs in both games against Seattle thus far. The switch-hitting infielder got Atlanta on the board in the eighth with a single to score Jarred Kelenic, and Albies is now up to 18 RBI on the season. That numbers even more impressive when you consider that Albies missed time with his toe injury. Rotoworld Tuesday, 10:47 pm
     
  • Luis Garcia drives in lone run for Nats in loss
    Luis Garcia went 1-for-3 with one RBI in the Nationals’ loss to the Rangers on Tuesday.

    Advice: Garcia got the scoring started for the Nationals in the top of the first when he singled home C.J. Abrams after Abrams led things off with a single and a steal. Unfortunately, that would be all the offense the Nationals could muster, as they were held to just one hit the rest of the way in the 7-1 defeat. Garcia ends the first month of the season batting .294 with one homer and 11 RBI. Rotoworld Tuesday, 7:39 pm
     
  • Gets day off
    Rosario is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Rosario is on the bench for the first time since April 13, breaking a stretch of 14 consecutive starts during which he slashed .351/.373/.509 with two home runs, two stolen bases, nine RBI and seven runs. He's seen action mostly in right field and second base during that time and should continue to maintain a near-everyday role so long as he remains productive at the dish. Rotowire.com Monday, 3:09 pm

  • Amed Rosario gets Monday off vs. Brewers
    Amed Rosario is not in the lineup for Monday’s game against the Brewers.

    Advice: Rosario has been excellent to begin the year with a .340 average over 97 at-bats, but the Rays will give him a day off Monday against the Brew Crew. Niko Goodrum gets the start at second base while Rosario rests. Rotoworld Monday, 1:43 pm

  • Out against lefty again
    Garcia is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: The lefty-hitting Garcia will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Marlins bring another lefty (Trevor Rogers) to the hill. The Nationals will turn to the switch-hitting Ildemaro Vargas to replace Garcia at the keystone. Rotowire.com Monday, 12:18 pm
     
  • Ozzie Albies has two hits in win over Guardians
    Ozzie Albies went 2-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in a win over the Guardians on Sunday.

    Advice: Albies’ double was a well-hit 321-foot shot at 96 mph off the bat, and it’s good to see him making authoritative contact so soon since being activated off the IL. He now has a .329/.393/.513 slash line and should be back to being locked into all lineups. Rotoworld Sunday, 2:03 pm
     
  • Moves to bench Sunday
    Garcia is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: With southpaw Ryan Weathers on the hill for Miami, the lefty-hitting Garcia will hit the bench for the first time since April 14 while Ildemaro Vargas steps in at second base. While manning the keystone for each of the last 11 games, Garcia went 11-for-42 (.262 average) with one home run, four stolen bases, five RBI and one run. Rotowire.com Sunday, 9:02 am
     
  • Two hits in return
    Albies went 2-for-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI in Friday's 6-2 win over the Guardians.

    Advice: Making his return from a toe injury that cost him eight games, Albies demonstrated quickly that he was fully healthy, ripping a double and scoring in the fifth inning before adding an RBI single in the sixth. The 27-year-old second baseman has a nine-game hitting streak going, sandwiched around the injury absence, and on the season he's slashing .328/.392/.507 with two homers, two steals, 15 runs and 15 RBI.
