  • Two-run double in win
    Nootbaar went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Wednesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Nootbaar doubled in his final at-bat of the contest to send home Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt, giving the Cardinals a 4-1 lead. It was only the left fielder's fourth multi-base hit of the season, though he's now driven in two runs in two of his last three games. Nootbaar has also hit safely in six of his last seven contests, but is still yet to put together a multi-hit performance. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Scratched Wednesday
    Crawford was scratched from the Mariners' lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Rangers.

    Advice: The Mariners didn't specify why Crawford was taken out of the lineup, but the team should give a reason in the near future. Dylan Moore will enter as the replacement shortstop and bat eighth. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Gunnar Henderson homers, doubles versus Angels
    Gunnar Henderson went 3-for-3 with a homer, a double and three RBI in leading the Orioles to a 6-5 win over the Angels on Wednesday.

    Advice: It didn’t seem like anyone really expected Henderson to improve on his terrific rookie campaign this year, but he has in nearly every regard thus far. Boasting some of the game’s best exit velocity numbers, he looks like a legitimate superstar. He’s batting .309/.373/.649 with eight homers through 24 games. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago
     
  • Mike Trout first to reach 10 homers this season
    Mike Trout became the first major leaguer to reach 10 homers this season when he took the Orioles’ Dean Kremer deep on Wednesday.

    Advice: Trout’s 10th homer came in his 25th game. He still has just 13 RBI, since he’s not hitting singles (.237 average) and he’s especially not hitting with men on base. Things don’t figure to get much better there if the Angels leave him in the leadoff spot. Rotoworld 20 minutes ago

  • Thairo Estrada leaves game with hamstring injury
    Thairo Estrada was removed from Wednesday’s game against the Mets due to tightness in his left hamstring.

    Advice: The 28-year-old infielder tried to talk his way into staying in the game, so hopefully the injury isn’t that serious. The Giants should provide an update on his status after the game, but it sounds like Estrada should be considered day-to-day. Rotoworld 32 minutes ago

  • Struggles with abdominal soreness
    Gelof was scratched from Oakland's lineup ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Yankees due to left abdominal soreness, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: The severity of the 24-year-old infielder's injury is still unknown, but the team could provide more information after the contest. Gelof had not missed a game with 24 straight starts at second base to begin the season, but that starting streak will end Wednesday. Third baseman Abraham Toro will take the field at the keystone in place of Gelof. Rotowire.com 34 minutes ago
     
  • Battling hamstring tightness
    Estrada was removed from Wednesday's game against the Mets due to left hamstring tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Estrada reportedly wanted to play through his injury, suggesting that his removal was more of a precautionary decision. The Giants don't play Thursday, so the 28-year-old will get an extra day to recover and may be able to return Friday without missing any time. Rotowire.com 40 minutes ago

  • Lindor goes 4-for-5, homers twice in victory
    Francisco Lindor went 4-for-5 with two homers and four RBI as the Mets topped the Giants 8-2 on Wednesday.

    Advice: The homers came off Sean Hjelle in the third and Mitch White in the ninth. The slumping Lindor raised his OPS from .538 to .652 today. At .206, it’s also the first time this season he’s boasted an average at or above the Mendoza Line. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
     
  • Tyrone Taylor homers, doubles against Giants
    Starting for the first time in six games, Tyrone Taylor delivered a homer and a two-run double against the Giants on Wednesday.

    Advice: We took issue with the Mets starting Joey Wendle over Taylor last night, and this kind of thing is why. Taylor is a little short of being a quality regular, but not by much. He’s hitting .327/.358/.510 in 54 plate appearances this season. Rotoworld 44 minutes ago
