  • Ohtani walks, hits sac fly in win over White Sox
    Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI against the White Sox on Monday.

    Advice: It was a quiet game for the Dodgers offense against White Sox starter Garrett Crochet. Ohtani hit a sacrifice fly in the ninth inning to give Los Angeles a 3-0 lead. It was his 58th RBI on the season. He trails only Braves outfielder Marcell Ozuna for the National League lead in RBI. Ohtani is hitting .318 with a 1.021 OPS on the season.

  • Plays catch from 90 feet
    Ohtani (elbow) played catch from 90 feet Monday, David Vassegh of AM 570 LA Sports reports.

    Advice: Ohtani is throwing from 90 feet for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery last September. He continues to progress in his rehab with no issues, and he's certainly shown no ill effects at the plate as a result of his ongoing recovery from the elbow issue. The Dodgers haven't ruled out the possibility of Ohtani playing the outfield at some point in 2024, though that still seems like a long shot. He will continue to serve as the club's designated hitter, with an eye on resuming two-way duties in 2025. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:12 pm
     
  • Getting day off against lefty
    Benintendi is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Benintendi and fellow left-handed hitters Gavin Sheets and Nicky Lopez will hit the bench as the White Sox go with an all-right-handed-hitting lineup versus Dodgers southpaw James Paxton. Corey Julks will replace Benintendi in left field and will bat seventh. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:32 pm
     
  • Clubs seventh homer
    Gordon went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's win over the Mariners.

    Advice: The 28-year-old capped a four-run first inning for the Marlins with a shot to right field off Bryce Miller. The homer was Gordon's seventh of the season but his first in June, and even with Sunday's performance he's slashing just .205/.217/.341 on the month with a 1:11 BB:K in 16 games.

  • Productive in return from IL
    Rodgers went 2-for-4 Sunday against the Nationals.

    Advice: Rodgers was activated from the injured list Friday after missing around two weeks with a hamstring injury, and he was in the starting lineup both Saturday and Sunday. He hit cleanup on both occasions, going a combined 3-for-8 with a home run and three RBI. The Rockies will head on a five-game road trip starting Tuesday, and Rodgers has hit just .239 with no home runs away from Coors Field this season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:41 am
     
  • Playing time ticking up
    McCormick went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Sunday against the Orioles.

    Advice: McCormick's line isn't notable, but Sunday marked his third start in Houston's last four games against a right-handed pitcher. He had previously been losing playing time against righties to Trey Cabbage and Mauricio Dubon, but the absence of Kyle Tucker (shin) and lack of production from Jake Meyers have opened up playing time for McCormick. He's shown modest improvement in his last five starts, going 4-for-14 with a pair of homers, three RBI and five runs scored. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:12 am
     
  • Two doubles, steal in win
    Bader went 2-for-3 with two doubles, a walk, one stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.

    Advice: Bader entered Sunday 0-for-9 over his last three games. He broke the drought with his fourth multi-hit effort over 17 contests in June. While he's hitting .255 (13-for-51) this month, eight of those knocks have gone for extra bases, and he's driven in 11 runs. The outfielder is slashing .268/.316/.388 with four home runs, 13 doubles, 27 RBI, 27 runs scored and 10 steals through 67 games this season. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:27 pm
     
  • Drawing another start
    Chirinos is slated to start Tuesday's game against the Royals in Kansas City.

    Advice: He'll make another turn through the Miami rotation after he acquitted himself well in his Marlins debut this past Wednesday against the Cardinals, striking out six while allowing two runs on eight hits and no walks over five innings in a no-decision. With the Miami pitching staff having been decimated by injuries of late, Chirinos should have the opportunity to stick in the rotation beyond Tuesday if he continues to perform reasonably well.

  • Sitting Sunday
    Meyers is not in the starting lineup for Sunday's series finale against Baltimore.

    Advice: Meyers will get a rest Sunday after going 1-for-8 over the last two games, with his lone hit coming on a three-run home run Friday. Chas McCormick will start in center field Sunday and bat eighth against Orioles right-hander Albert Suarez. Rotowire.com Sunday, 10:44 am
