    • Out again against righty
      Ruiz is not in the lineup for Friday's contest in Cleveland.

      Advice: In four games since being recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas, Ruiz has started once against a left-hander but has been on the bench all three times the Athletics have faced a righty. Ruiz's speed upside warrants him being held in deeper leagues in case he starts playing more, but it's clear Oakland plans for him to be a short-side platoon player at this point.

    • Shifts to 60-day injured list
      Story (shoulder) was transferred to the 60-day injured list Thursday, Gabrielle Starr of the Boston Herald reports.

      Advice: The move was strictly procedural, as Story has already been ruled out for the rest of the 2024 season. The transaction opened a 40-man roster spot for the newly acquired Vladimir Gutierrez. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:26 pm

    • Red Sox transfer Trevor Story to 60-day IL
      Red Sox transferred SS Trevor Story to the 60-day injured list.

      Advice: The procedural move opens up a spot on Boston’s 40-man roster for right-hander Vladimir Gutierrez. The 31-year-old shortstop underwent season-ending shoulder surgery last week. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:08 pm

    • Homer, three hits in win
      Semien went 3-for-6 with a solo homer, a double and an additional run scored in Thursday's 9-7 victory over Detroit.

      Advice: Semien led off the afternoon with a homer off Kenta Maeda, his third longball of the year, before adding two more hits later in the contest as he wound up a triple shy of a cycle. The 33-year-old Semien has gotten off to another strong start this season while serving as Texas' primary leadoff man, slashing .286/.355/.464 with 17 RBI and 16 runs scored through his first 93 plate appearances.

    • Marcus Semien homers, picks up three hits in win
      Marcus Semien homered while going 3-for-5 against the Tigers on Thursday.

      Advice: Semien swatted a leadoff homer off Kenta Maeda, and it was one of three homers for the Rangers of Maeda in the victory. Semien also doubled, and he’s up to six doubles on the season to go with three homers and 17 RBI over 19 games. Even while hitting at the top of the lineup, the 33-year-old remains one of the better run-producers at the second base — or any other — position. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:21 pm
       
    • Picks up first steal of 2024
      Alvarez went 1-for-4 with a run scored, an RBI and a stolen base in Wednesday's win over the Pirates.

      Advice: The 22-year-old doesn't run much, but he's never been caught stealing in the majors, going 3-for-3 in 143 MLB games. Alvarez is struggling to get going at the plate this year, slashing .241/.293/.370 through 15 games with a homer, a steal, seven runs and eight RBI, but he remains locked in as the Mets' near-everyday catcher.

    • Strikes out six in loss
      Abbott (1-2) took the loss against the Mariners on Wednesday, surrendering two runs on four hits and three walks while striking out six over six innings.

      Advice: Abbott was efficient for most of the afternoon, with the exception of the four-seamers he left out over the plate for Cal Raleigh in the second inning and Mitch Garver in the sixth, both of which would end up in the outfield stands. The young lefty hasn't allowed more than two runs in any of his first four starts to open the season and actually fanned a season-high six batters Wednesday, though the two home runs he surrendered also marked a season high. Furthermore, Abbott has now gone at least six innings in each of his last two starts and carries a clean 2.70 ERA following the loss. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 6:46 am
       
    • Second homer in three games
      Ruiz went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run, a stolen base and an additional run in a win over the Cardinals on Wednesday.

      Advice: Ruiz led off and went deep for the second time in three games, slugging a 412-foot shot to left center with Max Schuemann aboard in the third inning to open the scoring. The hot-hitting outfielder's recent power display is especially noteworthy, considering he belted only five homers across 490 plate appearances in 2023, and because he's been focused on improving his hard contact since spring training.

    • Nails third save
      Alvarado picked up the save Wednesday, allowing one hit and no walks with one strikeout over a scoreless inning against Colorado.

      Advice: After keeping the Rockies off the scoreboard in the ninth inning Wednesday, Alvarado has now turned in eight straight scoreless appearances (7.2 innings) since his nightmare five-run 2024 debut. While it'll still take some time to get Alvarado's ERA down to an acceptable number, fantasy managers can take solace in knowing that Alvarado has looked like himself since turning the page on his March 29 outing.
