    • Swipes bag, reaches three times
      Rojas went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's win over the Diamondbacks while also drawing a walk.

      Advice: Rojas doubled in the second and stole third before coming home for the Dodgers' third run of the game on a two-bagger from Austin Barnes. He later added a single in the blowout of Arizona, giving him his fifth multi-hit performance of the season. The shortstop has now hit safely in five of his last seven games and while also recording a double in three of his last four. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
    • Takes seat Thursday
      Bouchard is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.

      Advice: Bouchard started in right field or at designated hitter in each of the last three games, going 1-for-10 with a run and an RBI. The Rockies have leaned on Bouchard as their primary replacement in the lineup for Kris Bryant (back), but Bouchard's time as a near-everyday player could soon come to an end if he's unable to get going at the plate. Since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on April 17, Bouchard is slashing .214/.333/.286 over 33 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
    • Resting Thursday
      Blackmon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.

      Advice: Blackmon's absence from the lineup looks to be nothing more than routine maintenance while the Rockies and Marlins conclude their series with a day game after a night game. Hunter Goodman will replace Blackmon in the lineup, serving as the Rockies' designated hitter while batting ninth. Rotowire.com 7 minutes ago
    • Slated for shoulder surgery
      Rom is expected to undergo left shoulder surgery, Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

      Advice: The exact nature of the operation isn't known yet, but surgery was recommended after Rom met with Dr. Keith Meister in Dallas on Tuesday. The surgery presumably would end Rom's 2024 season before it begins, but more information on a timeline should be known after the procedure. Rotowire.com 13 minutes ago
       
    • Clubs third homer
      Toro went 2-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Pirates.

      Advice: Getting the start at second base and batting fifth, Toro launched a second-inning Quinn Priester sinker up in the zone off the top of the wall in center field. Toro has hit safely in six straight games, and he's making a case to be an everyday player for Oakland -- through 99 plate appearances, he's slashing .264/.323/.440 with three homers, 11 RBI and 11 runs. He's played at least three games at first base, second base and third base so far in 2024 in addition to spotting in at DH, and while Ryan Noda's demotion to Triple-A after Wednesday's game likely has more to do with J.D. Davis (thigh) being nearly ready to come off the IL, it does give Toro a little less competition for playing time. Rotowire.com 27 minutes ago
       
    • Hot streak continues
      Nevin went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Pirates.

      Advice: The 26-year-old took Quinn Priester deep in the third inning, extending an impressive stretch that has seen Nevin record four straight multi-hit performances as part of a nine-game hitting streak. He's left the yard four times during his heater, accounting for all of his homers on the season, and since joining Oakland at the beginning of April he's slashed .325/.375/.500 in 88 plate appearances with 10 runs and 10 RBI. Nevin posted consistently solid numbers in the minors but never got much of an opportunity in Baltimore, and he stumbled with Detroit in 2023. If this is his last chance to establish himself as a big-league player, he seems to be making the most of it. Rotowire.com 33 minutes ago
       
    • Nabs first win since 2022
      Stripling (1-5) picked up the win Wednesday, scattering three hits over six scoreless innings in a 4-0 victory over the Pirates. He struck out two without walking a batter.

      Advice: It's been a long drought for Stripling, who prior to Wednesday had collected his last big-league win on the last day of the 2022 season while with the Blue Jays. The quality start was the second of the 2024 campaign for the right-hander, and he's allowed three runs or less in four straight outings. Despite his poor record, Stripling will take a respectable 4.24 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 27:8 K:BB through 40.1 innings into his next start, which is scheduled to come at home early next week against the Rangers.

    • Hurt by long ball in quality start
      Priester (0-2) took the loss Wednesday as the Pirates were downed 4-0 by the A's, giving up three runs (two earned) on five hits and four walks over six innings. He struck out three.

      Advice: The 23-year-old battled both his control and his command, throwing only 59 of 97 pitches for strikes and serving up homers to Abraham Toro in the second inning and Tyler Nevin in the third. Priester still managed to put together his second straight quality start, and through three outings since his promotion he's delivered a solid 3.31 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 11:6 K:BB through 16.1 innings. His time in the Pittsburgh rotation could be running short though, with top prospect Paul Skenes getting stretched out to six innings in his last start for Triple-A Indianapolis. If he gets another turn, Priester lines up for a home start against the Angels early next week. Rotowire.com 45 minutes ago
    • Slugs third homer
      Jansen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 6-1 loss to the Royals.

      Advice: He spoiled Seth Lugo's shutout bid in the seventh inning, but it was the only bright spot on the day for the Toronto offense. Jansen has three homers since making his season debut April 16, all solo shots, but they've all come in his last four starts. The 29-year-old catcher has gone 8-for-30 (.267) in 10 games, but six of those hits have gone for extra bases including three doubles. Rotowire.com 50 minutes ago
