  • Resting for day game
    Murphy is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Orioles.

  • Keibert Ruiz gets rare day off for Nationals
    Keibert Ruiz is out of the Nationals lineup for the first time since June 1 in Thursday’s matinee against the Tigers.

    Advice: Drew Millas will catch. Ruiz had DH’d twice in the last two weeks, but not today. While Ruiz did hit a huge three-run homer against the Braves on Sunday, he’s batting just .200/.236/.294 for the season. Rotoworld Today, 7:36 am
     
  • Getting rest Thursday
    Ruiz is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Tigers, Andrew Golden of The Washington Post reports.

  • Sitting out Thursday's game
    Herrera isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Pirates.

    Advice: Herrera started at catcher in the win over the Pirates on Wednesday night, so he will get a breather for Thursday's afternoon tilt. Pedro Pages will serve as the Cardinals' starting catcher in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 7:17 am
     
  • Resting up Thursday
    Kelly is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Nationals.

    Advice: Kelly will take a seat for the day game after he caught all nine innings of Wednesday's 7-5 loss while going hitless in four at-bats. Jake Rogers will get the starting nod behind the plate in the series finale. Rotowire.com Today, 7:17 am
     
  • Slugs three-run homer
    Trevino went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in an 11-5 win against the Royals on Wednesday.

    Advice: Trevino capped a huge first inning for the Yankees with his three-run blast that made the score 6-0. It was the backstop's first homer since May 18 and ended a stretch of 13 games without any extra-base hits. Trevino has been pretty solid offensively overall this season, though, slashing .272/.321/.416 with six homers, 23 RBI and 17 runs through 138 plate appearances.

  • Belts first homer
    Davis went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday in a 4-2 loss to the Cardinals.

    Advice: Davis gave Pittsburgh its second run of the contest with a solo shot to center field in the eighth inning. The long ball was his first in what has been a very disappointing season, as he's slashing a meager .157/.273/.241 through 99 plate appearances. With Joey Bart (thumb) on the injured list, Davis has been splitting time behind the plate with veteran Yasmani Grandal. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:09 pm
     
  • Raps three hits in victory
    Herrera went 3-for-4 with a run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-2 win against the Pirates.

    Advice: Herrera and Nolan Arenado both had three hits for St. Louis in the win, combining for over half of the team's total base knocks. Herrera helped generate a run in the fourth inning when he led off with a single, advanced to second on another single, stole third and crossed the plate on an infield hit. The backstop has four multi-hit performances through 10 contests in June and is batting .314 (11-for-35) overall this month. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:55 pm
     
  • Iván Herrera collects three hits in victory
    Iván Herrera went 3-for-4 and stole a base Wednesday in his first start in four days.

    Advice: Herrera sat both Sunday and Tuesday, with a team off day Monday in between. The Cardinals clearly prefer Pedro Pagés’ defense to Herrera’s, but Herrera is obviously much better offensively. In spite of Herrera’s success tonight, he was replaced for defense late in the contest. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:20 pm
