    • Kevin Newman has three-hit day vs. Angels
      Kevin Newman picked up three hits and two RBI in a blowout win Thursday over the Angels.

      Advice: This makes two-of-three appearances for Newman where he’s picked up three hits, and it’s helped his average bump up to .272 from the .253 mark he carried prior. The infielder is capable of slashing the baseball around, but he just doesn’t do enough in other categories — and it’s not like he’s close the league-leaders in average — to justify a fantasy spot.

    • Andrew Vaughn homers, plates game-winner in 10th
      Andrew Vaughn homered and drove in the game-winning run Thursday against the Mariners.

      Advice: Vaughn and Luis Robert Jr. went back-to-back in the third inning to give the White Sox a 2-0 lead. He also hit into a fielder’s choice in the 10th that score what ended up being the game-winning run. The first baseman has now homered eight times in 2024, and he’s started to swing the bat at a much better level in June with a slash of .361/.395/.667 over the month. Rotoworld Today, 9:23 pm
       
    • Soderstrom blasts fourth home run Thursday
      Tyler Soderstrom went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Twins on Thursday.

      Advice: Soderstrom took Joe Ryan out in the second inning for a two-run home run when Ryan hung a splitter. It was his fourth home run of the season. Soderstrom once again started at first base. Fantasy managers will have to wait for him to get more starts at catcher so he could gain some fantasy relevancy. Rotoworld Today, 7:51 pm
       
    • Tallies two hits, steal in win
      Canha went 2-for-3 with two RBI in Thursday's 7-2 win over the Nationals. He also stole a base.

      Advice: Canha extended his hitting streak to three games, and he's recorded a stolen base in two of those contests. That gives the veteran four steals for the season, and while he's not known for his speed at this point in his career, Canha did swipe 11 bases last year in 12 chances. He's a smart and efficient baserunner who can contribute a little bit in that category, though fantasy managers shouldn't expect huge numbers the rest of the way. Rotowire.com Today, 7:39 pm

    • Making another start versus righty
      Biggio is in the lineup at third base and batting eighth Thursday versus the Rangers.

      Advice: Biggio is getting his second start at third base for the Dodgers after going 1-for-3 in his debut for the team Wednesday. Thursday's start comes against righty Michael Lorenzen on the mound for the Rangers. With Max Muncy remaining on the injured list and Enrique Hernandez sitting versus a righty, it appears Biggio will be the primary option at third versus right-handers. Hernandez was filling the role as the everyday third baseman with Muncy out, but has been lackluster versus righties. Rotowire.com Today, 3:37 pm

    • Out of lineup versus righty
      Hernandez isn't in the Dodgers' lineup versus the Rangers on Thursday.

      Advice: Hernandez is on the bench again with righty Michael Lorenzen on the mound for the Rangers. Recently acquired Cavan Biggio has the start at third and is batting eighth Thursday. Hernandez, who was serving as the primary third baseman in Max Muncy's absence, will now seem to just fill that role against lefties while Biggio will start against righties. For the season, Hernandez has a .724 OPS against lefties, but a .493 OPS against righties. Rotowire.com Today, 3:25 pm

    • Not starting against southpaw
      Raley isn't in the Mariners' lineup Thursday against the White Sox.

      Advice: The left-handed bat of Raley will stay put in the dugout Thursday as left-handed starter Garrett Crochet toes the slab for Chicago. Victor Robles will fill the opening in left field while batting seventh. Rotowire.com Today, 3:15 pm

    • Royals ship Nick Pratto back to Triple-A

    • Ty France (heel) likely to return next week
      Ty France (heel) has progressed to hitting without any limitations.

      Advice: France is pain-free at the moment and appears poised to return early next week when first eligible to be activated from the injured list. The big question for fantasy managers is whether top prospect Tyler Locklear will be shipped out to the minors once he’s ready to return. Rotoworld Today, 3:12 pm
