  • Swipes bag in 2024 debut
    Bae went 1-for-3 with a walk, two runs scored and an RBI on Tuesday against the Giants.

    Advice: Bae began the season on the injured list and was optioned to Triple-A Indianapolis upon his activation in mid-April. He started in center field Tuesday and hit ninth, bumping Michael Taylor to the bench. It's unclear how the Pirates will divide playing time in the outfield, though Rowdy Tellez could be the primary player to lose playing time with Connor Joe shifting his primary position from right field to first base.

  • Report: White Sox promoting Zach DeLoach
    The White Sox will likely recall Zach DeLoach as a result of Eloy Jiménez’s hamstring injury.

    Advice: It’ll be the White Sox debut for DeLoach, who likely would have been given a shot weeks ago had he been hitting better in Triple-A. Fortunately, he has picked it up some of late, coming in at .275/.367/.451 in May after collecting just two extra-base hits in April. Rotoworld 6 minutes ago
     
  • Goes yard twice in rout
    Buxton went 2-for-5 with two home runs and three RBI in Tuesday's 10-0 win over the Nationals.

    Advice: The 30-year-old slugger took Patrick Corbin deep in the second and fifth innings, his first long balls in four games since coming off the IL and his first multi-homer performance of 2024. Buxton had managed only one home run in 28 games prior to knee trouble that shut him down in early May, but Tuesday's fireworks are a strong sign he's fully healthy. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago
     
  • Chance to keep playing time
    Beck went 0-for-4 with a stolen base Tuesday against the Athletics.

    Advice: Beck has been a regular starter since being promoted April 30, though it appeared that his playing time would be squeezed with the returns of Kris Bryant and Nolan Jones (back/knee). However, Jones suffered a setback on his rehab assignment and Sean Bouchard was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque to make room for Bryant to be activated. That keeps the door open for Beck to maintain regular playing time, though he has just a .212/.212/.348 line across his first 66 plate appearances in the majors. Rotowire.com 10 minutes ago
     
  • Cranks second homer
    McNeil went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and a second run scored in Tuesday's 7-6 loss to the Guardians.

    Advice: McNeil poked a one-out double in the fifth inning and came around to score on a Francisco Lindor single. He'd then cut the Mets' deficit to 5-4 with a two-run homer off left-hander Sam Hentges, his second of the year. It's been a tough start to the year for McNeil, though he's shown signs of life of late, going 6-for-19 with no strikeouts in his last five games. Overall, the 32-year-old second baseman is slashing .240/.314/.329 with 18 runs scored, 12 RBI and three steals across 186 plate appearances this season. Rotowire.com 21 minutes ago
     
  • Quiet in return
    Bryant went 0-for-4 with a strikeout Tuesday against the Athletics.

    Advice: Bryant was activated from the injured list Tuesday and appeared in the lineup for the first time since April 13. He returned to play first base and hit fifth in the order, though he was unable to reach base. Despite maintaining a .489 OPS through 59 plate appearances, Bryant projects to remain a regular in the Rockies' lineup moving forward. Rotowire.com 24 minutes ago
     
  • Expected to be recalled
    The White Sox will recall DeLoach from Triple-A Charlotte prior to Wednesday's game in Toronto, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

    Advice: He could be taking the roster spot currently occupied by Eloy Jimenez, who injured his hamstring in Tuesday's 5-0 win over the Blue Jays and might be headed to the injured list. DeLoach, 25, was acquired from the Mariners over the offseason and has slashed .269/.361/.351 with two home runs and eight stolen bases over 37 games this season with Charlotte. He can play all three outfield spots and will be making his major-league debut when/if he gets into a game. Rotowire.com 43 minutes ago
     
  • Hits ninth in return
    McCormick went 0-for-3 with a strikeout Tuesday against the Angels.

    Advice: McCormick was activated off the injured list Tuesday and started in left field while hitting ninth. He forced Joey Loperfido to the bench, though he'll likely need to hit well to maintain regular playing time. McCormick has struggled early on, hitting just .227 with a .267 slugging percentage while striking out at a 27.9 percent slip across 86 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
     
  • Productive start to time with Sox
    Julks went 1-for-3 with two RBI, a walk and a stolen base Tuesday against the Blue Jays.

    Advice: Julks was dealt to the White Sox on May 15 after being designated for assignment by the Astros and was recalled to the big-league club two days later. He's made three starts in five games since and gone 4-for-11 with a run scored, three RBI and two stolen bases. Julks could see a more consistent role moving forward if Eloy Jimenez (hamstring) is forced to miss time. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
