  • Gets Thursday off
    Lee isn't in the White Sox's lineup Thursday against the Guardians.

    Advice: Lee will take a seat for the second game in a row Thursday despite recording a hit in three of his last four games. Martin Maldonado will start behind the plate instead and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:19 pm

  • Ryan Jeffers blasts homer off Gilbert in victory
    Ryan Jeffers hit a solo homer while driving in two runs in a blowout win Thursday over the Mariners.

    Advice: Jeffers took Logan Gilbert deep in the second inning to extend Minnesota’s lead to 6-1. Jeffers also drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth. The 26-year-old is up to a solid 29 RBI in the first 36 games of the year, and the homer along with a walk increase his OPS to 1.016. That’s outstanding. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:04 pm
     
  • Sitting in second straight
    Trevino is not in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Astros.

    Advice: The Yankees will go with Austin Wells at catcher for the second day in a row after Trevino had caught the previous three contests. The two have shared catching duties pretty close to down the middle this season, with Wells earning 21 starts to Trevino's 18. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:13 am
     
  • Hits game-tying homer
    Fry went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored in Wednesday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Fry went yard in the ninth inning off Andrew Chafin to tie the game at 4-4. This was Fry's second homer of the season. The versatile 28-year-old is batting .364 (8-for-22) over his last eight games. His ability to catch, play in the corner outfield and fill in at first base gives him multiple paths to playing time, and that versatility figures to be even more important as the Guardians weigh their options for left field with Steven Kwan (hamstring) likely out for four weeks. Fry is slashing .316/.438/.491 with two homers, one stolen base, 10 RBI, 11 runs scored and four doubles over 73 plate appearances on the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:07 am

  • Getting steady playing time
    Sabol will serve as the Giants' designated hitter and No. 7 hitter in Thursday's game against the Rockies, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Sabol will pick up his fourth start in five games, though he'll be filling a non-defensive role Thursday after each of the prior three starts came at catcher. The 26-year-old should continue to see the bulk of the action behind the dish while both Patrick Bailey (concussion) and Tom Murphy (knee) are on the injured list. Sabol has gone 6-for-12 with a double and a walk since being called up from Triple-A Sacramento last weekend. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:30 am

  • Getting day off
    Stephenson is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Stephenson was behind the plate for both of the past two days and the Reds are closing out their series in Arizona with an afternoon game, so he'll receive a breather Thursday. Luke Maile will serve as the Reds' starting catcher in his place. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:46 am
     
  • Two-run blast in loss
    Diaz went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI in Wednesday's loss to the Giants.

    Advice: Diaz drove in Colorado's third run of the game with an infield single in the bottom of the fifth and later added a two-run shot in the ninth to bring his team back within two runs of the Giants, though his effort would fall short. It marked the catcher's third multi-hit game already this month, and he's now hit safely in five of his last six contests. The home run was only Diaz's third of the season, though he's now batting .348 in May with four RBI and three extra-base hits. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:25 am
     
  • Elias Díaz homers, drives in three against Giants
    Elias Díaz went 2-for-4 with a home run and three RBI against the Giants on Wednesday.

    Advice: Díaz brought a run in to score with a base hit in the fifth inning. With a runner on and two outs in the ninth, he brought the Rockies to within two with a home run off Camilo Doval. The 33-year-old catcher is slashing a solid .303/.354/.435 with three homers and 18 RBI across 127 plate appearances. Rotoworld Wednesday, 8:31 pm
     
  • Hitting bench Wednesday
    Trevino is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Though he'll give way to Austin Wells behind the plate Wednesday, Trevino appears to be the Yankees' preferred option at catcher for the moment. Trevino started in each of the past three games, with two of those starts coming against right-handers. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 2:34 pm
