  • Getting breather Thursday
    Rizzo isn't in the Yankees' lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Rizzo owns a .351 OPS across his past six games, so the Yankees will give him a rare day off Thursday so he can clear his head. DJ LeMahieu will shift to first base while Oswaldo Cabrera starts at the hot corner, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Thursday, 3:26 pm
     
  • Langeliers blasts 12th home run Thursday
    Shea Langeliers went 2-for-5 with a double and a two-run home run against the Rays on Thursday.



    Advice: Langeliers isn’t going to provide a good average as he’s now hitting .211 on the season, but he has decent power for a catcher. The home run was his 12th of the season and he now has 29 RBI.

  • Sitting after three straight starts
    Chourio is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Cubs.

    Advice: Chourio had started each of the previous three games, but two of those starts came while the Cubs sent left-handers Justin Steele and Shota Imanaga to the mound. The rookie outfielder will hit the bench Thursday against right-hander Jameson Taillon and still looks to be stuck in a short-side platoon role in the corner outfield with Sal Frelick.

  • Jackson Chourio is on the bench on Thursday
    Jackson Chourio is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Cubs.

    Advice: It’s most likely just a typical rest day for Chourio. The rookie’s overall slash line is not impressive, but there are some signs of life. His seven steals and five home runs have been a help to fantasy managers and he cut his strikeout rate from 32 percent in April to just 19 percent in May. The hits are not coming and the groundball rate continues to rise, but it’s good to see the 20-year-old making more consistent contact. Rotoworld Thursday, 7:38 am

  • Still not swinging
    Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Tuesday that Muncy is on a "slow program" due to lingering oblique soreness and isn't currently swinging a bat, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.

    Advice: Muncy resumed baseball activities last Tuesday, but his progress has since been slowed by continued soreness in his oblique. The third baseman is already eligible to be activated off the IL, but given Roberts' comments, it doesn't seem like Muncy is on the cusp of returning. He'll almost certainly head out on a minor-league rehab assignment prior to rejoining Los Angeles' lineup. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 9:10 pm

  • Reaches 10-homer mark
    Perez went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, an RBI double and two total runs scored in Wednesday's 6-1 win over the Twins.

    Advice: Perez has hit safely in five straight games, going 6-for-21 (.286) in that span. The homer was his first since May 20 and his 10th of the year. He also crossed the 40-RBI mark Wednesday, getting him past halfway to matching his total of 80 RBI over 140 contests last year. The catcher is slashing .325/.386/.537 through 55 games in 2024.

  • Jose Caballero getting night off on Wednesday
    Jose Caballero is absent from the Rays’ starting lineup for Wednesday night’s tilt against the Athletics.

    Advice: It looks to be just a routine night off for the speedy 27-year-old shortstop. Amed Rosario will start in his place and will bat seventh against Athletics’ right-hander Joey Estes on Wednesday evening in Tampa Bay. Rotoworld Wednesday, 1:32 pm

  • Records second steal Tuesday
    Langeliers went 0-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in a win over the Rays on Tuesday.

    Advice: The power-hitting backstop showed off his wheels Tuesday, recording his second steal on three attempts this season following an eighth-inning, two-out walk. Langeliers' .210 average and .280 on-base percentage on the season have plenty of room for improvement, but he carries an exponentially better .277/.365/.631 slash line that's partly constituted of 11 extra-base hits (four doubles, two triples, five home runs) and has recorded 14 RBI across his last 19 games.
