  • Braves add veteran Ramón Laureano to outfield mix
    Braves selected the contract of OF Ramón Laureano from Triple-A Gwinnett.

    Advice: Laureano gets the call back to the majors ahead of Saturday’s showdown against the Rays with center fielder Michael Harris II landing on the injured list with a left hamstring strain. The 29-year-old outfielder was released last month by the Guardians after posting a disastrous .494 OPS in 31 games to open the year. He quickly latched on with the Braves and finds himself back in the majors as extra outfield depth after batting .362 (21-for-58) with three homers in 14 games for Triple-A Gwinnett.

  • Homers, drives in four
    Kepler went 3-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Friday's win over Oakland.

    Advice: Kepler did most of his damage with a three-run shot in the sixth inning but later delivered a clutch walk-off single in the 10th. He entered Friday's game with a .398 OPS in 11 games this month and the home run was his first since May 22. Kepler is now slashing .263/.326/.433 with 19 extra-base knocks and 27 RBI through 190 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Today, 5:02 am

  • Max Kepler homers, delivers walk-off win on Friday
    Max Kepler went 3-for-4 with a homer and four RBI on Friday night, propelling the Twins to a walk-off 6-5 victory over the Athletics in 10 innings.

    Advice: Kepler broke out of his recent funk in a major way in the sixth inning on Friday, crushing a game-tying 426-foot (105.6 mph EV) three-run shot off of Mitch Spence that evened things up at 4-4. He then came through with a walk-off RBI single off of Scott Alexander in the 10th inning that sent the Twins’ home faithful into a frenzy. With his three-hit effort, the 31-year-old outfielder is now slashing .263/.326/.433 with five homers and 27 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 8:45 pm

  • Jose Caballero leaves game with illness Friday
    Jose Caballero was removed from Friday’s battle against the Braves in the fourth inning due to illness.

    Advice: Most observers raised an eyebrow when Caballero was replaced by Richie Palacios in the ballgame, but it turns out he was simply feeling a bit under the weather. He’s considered day-to-day and should return to the Rays’ lineup at some point before the weekend is through. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:24 pm

  • Not starting versus LHP
    Brooks isn't in the Giants' lineup for Friday's game against the Angels, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Brooks will take a seat Friday as lefty Tyler Anderson toes the slab for the Angels. Wilmer Flores will get the nod at first base while batting fifth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:16 pm
     
  • Taking seat Friday
    Campusano is not in the lineup for Friday's contest versus the Mets.

    Advice: He will yield to the hot-hitting Kyle Higashioka at catcher Friday. Campusano is slashing just .146/.203/.182 across his last 19 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:28 pm
     
  • Hitting bench Thursday
    Hays is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against Atlanta.

    Advice: Hays went 4-for-8 with a double, an RBI and a run while starting in left field in the first two games of the series in Atlanta, but he'll take a seat for the finale. With Hays on the bench, the Orioles will roll out an outfield of Colton Cowser, Cedric Mullins and Anthony Santander from left to right. Rotowire.com Thursday, 7:15 am

  • Getting looks at third base
    Caballero went 1-for-3 with a solo home run and a walk Wednesday against the Cubs.

    Advice: He has lost some playing time since the return of Taylor Walls but has still started four of the last six games. Caballero has made starts at second base, third base and shortstop and looks set to settle into a utility role for the Rays. The 27-year-old has also been productive of late, hitting two home runs and swiping three bags across his last 10 appearances. Rotowire.com Thursday, 6:51 am
