    • Makes impact as pinch runner
      Ruiz entered Wednesday's win over the Pirates as a pinch runner in the bottom of the eighth inning, recording a stolen base and subsequently scoring a run.

      Advice: The speedy outfielder offered a spark off the bench after being tasked with running for Abraham Toro, swiping second base and subsequently coming home on Kyle McCann's single. The steal was only Ruiz's fourth in 16 games this season, but his second in the last three contests. The 25-year-old has also shown a welcome increase in pop early in the campaign, as he sports an impressive .861 OPS thanks in large part to having laced five of his nine hits for extra bases.

    • Three hits in Wednesday's loss
      Rodriguez went 3-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Atlanta.

      Advice: After going 0-for-8 in the first two games of the series, Rodriguez's bat woke up against Chris Sale. The 23-year-old outfielder has only had one sustained hot streak so far in 2024, but he's capable of sparking another one at any time. Through 129 plate appearances, Rodriguez is slashing .270/.310/.328 with one homer, seven steals, 11 RBI and 12 runs. Rotowire.com Today, 6:42 am
       
    • J-Rod raises average to .270 with three more hits
      Julio Rodríguez went 3-for-5 with a run scored on Wednesday in the Mariners’ loss to the Braves.

      Advice: Rodríguez has clearly snapped out of an early-season funk at the dish with seven multi-hit performances in his last 13 contests over the past two weeks since April 17. The 23-year-old fantasy superstar has just one round-tripper through 31 games, but he’s managed to raise his batting average back up to the .270 mark, and has also chipped in seven steals as well. It’s just a matter of time before he starts hitting moonshots again. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:25 pm
       
    • Takes seat Wednesday
      Chourio is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

      Advice: The rookie will bow out of the lineup for the series finale while Jake Bauers picks up a start in left field alongside Blake Perkins and Sal Frelick. After opening his big-league career by producing hits in 11 of his first 13 games, Chourio has fallen into a massive slump since mid-April. Over his subsequent 14 games, Chourio has gone 6-for-43 (.140) while getting on base at a .196 clip. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:51 am
       
    • Ramping up baseball work
      White Sox manager Pedro Grifol said Tuesday that Robert (hip) is taking batting practice and running at 80 percent, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

      Advice: The 26-year-old is about halfway through the short end of his initial recovery timeline of 6-to-8 weeks, and he appears to be a bit ahead of schedule. Robert could be ready to rejoin the White Sox in mid-May, but the organization is likely to remain cautious as he ramps up his baseball activities over the next couple weeks.

    • Productive out of leadoff spot
      Ruiz went 1-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run in a win over the Pirates on Monday.

      Advice: Five of Ruiz's nine hits on the season have now gone for extra bases, leading to his considerably surprising .528 slugging percentage across 42 plate appearances. The speedy outfielder has seen an increase in strikeout rate to 23.8 percent and is sporting a bloated 34.8 percent chase rate as well, but the Athletics might be willing to live with some of that if Ruiz can continue to demonstrate improved pop after posting a middling .654 OPS across 132 games in 2023.

    • Back on bench Sunday
      Ruiz is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

      Advice: Ruiz had started in each of the Athletics' last three games and five of the previous six contests, but he'll head to the bench Sunday. With Brent Rooker recently returning from the injured list and with Seth Brown, JJ Bleday and Lawrence Butler seemingly representing greater priorities in the outfield, Ruiz may be the odd man out for a regular spot in the lineup versus right-handed pitching.

    • Could return in mid-May
      White Sox general manager Chris Getz said Friday that Robert (hip) could be back from the 10-day injured list in mid-May, Vinnie Duber of AllCHGO.com reports.

      Advice: The 26-year-old was given a six-week recovery timeline after he landed on the shelf April 6 with a Grade 2 right hip flexor strain, and it appears he may be slightly ahead of schedule. Veterans Tommy Pham and Rafael Ortega had their contracts selected by Chicago on Friday and should see most of the action in center field until Robert can return from the injured list.

    • Luis Robert Jr. (hip) expected to return mid-May
      White Sox general manager Chris Getz said Friday that Luis Robert Jr. (hip) should be able to return in mid-May.

      Advice: That would put him at the front end of that initial 6-8 week timeframe that was given when he was diagnosed with a Grade 2 hip flexor strain. The White Sox could most certainly benefit from the 26-year-old superstar’s return to the lineup, as their offense has really struggled to score runs consistently. Getz also noted that Tommy Pham and Rafael Ortega will carry the load in center field until Robert is able to return. Rotoworld Friday, 1:30 pm
