    • Exits starting nine
      Joe is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Dodgers.

      Advice: It's the first time since May 13 that Joe has been absent from the Pirates' starting nine. Rowdy Tellez will occupy first base and Edward Olivares will patrol right field while Joe gets some rest. Rotowire.com 31 minutes ago

    • Swipes bag in loss
      Freeman went 1-for-5 with a stolen base and a run against Pittsburgh in a loss Wednesday.

      Advice: Freeman has been much less active on the basepaths this season -- he's attempted just four steals (with three successes) after going 23-for-24 last year. That 2023 performance was likely an aberration, as the 23 thefts were 10 more than his previous career-high mark. Freeman's other numbers are mostly down so far this season as well, but he's still been quite productive with a .294/.397/.476 slash line, seven homers, 17 doubles, 35 RBI and and 36 runs through 63 contests.

    • On bench with lefty starting
      Raley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.

      Advice: Raley will join fellow lefty-hitting regulars Dominic Canzone and Josh Rojas on the bench while the Athletics send southpaw JP Sears to the bump. Victor Robles will open the game in Raley's usual spot in left field in what will be the former's first start with the Mariners since he signed with the team Tuesday after being released by the Nationals.

    • Tyler Soderstrom starting at 1B for A’s on THU
      Tyler Soderstrom is starting at first base for the Athletics against the Mariners on Thursday.

      Advice: Soderstrom will hit seventh and play first base with J.D. Davis taking a seat. With Davis hitting just .229 on the year, there’s been a chance for the 22-year-old Soderstrom to carve out more playing time. Unfortunately, he’s not hitting well himself, slashing .174/.309/.304 with a 42 percent strikeout rate. Fantasy managers in deep leagues can keep an eye on Sodestrom to see if he can pick it up and earn more at-bats, but he’s not rosterable in leagues right now. Rotoworld Today, 10:00 am
       
    • Back to bench Thursday
      Davis is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Mariners.

      Advice: Davis had started at first base in both of the Athletics' previous two matchups with right-handed pitchers, going 2-for-7 with a pair of singles. Though the Mariners are bringing another righty (Bryan Woo) to the hill for Thursday's series finale, Davis will cede his spot in the lineup to Tyler Soderstrom. The Athletics could elect to rotate Davis, Soderstrom and Aledmys Diaz at first base until one of the three begins performing well enough to take control of an everyday role.

    • Homers in return to majors
      Cabbage went 1-for-3 with a solo home run Wednesday against the Cardinals.

      Advice: Cabbage was recalled to the majors to provide depth while Kyle Tucker (leg) is sidelined. He drew the start in right field and hit seventh and tallied his first home run of the season in the fifth inning. Cabbage isn't likely to earn consistent starts even with Tucker sidelined.

    • Absent from lineup versus lefty
      O'Hearn isn't in the lineup for Thursday's game in Toronto.

      Advice: Southpaw Yusei Kikuchi is drawing the start for the Blue Jays, which means the lefty-hitting O'Hearn will head to the bench for the series finale. Adley Rutschman will get a start at designated hitter while James McCann handles the catching duties. Rotowire.com Today, 7:31 am
       
    • Taking seat Thursday
      Fry is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Blue Jays.

      Advice: Fry will take a seat for Thursday's series finale, as he had been scheduled to head to the bench Wednesday before that game was postponed due to inclement weather. Though his 1.092 OPS on the season ranks first in the majors among all players with at least 140 plate appearances, Fry still hasn't quite locked down a full-time role in Cleveland. He'll be out of the lineup for the second time in three games while the Guardians go with Bo Naylor at catcher and Kyle Manzardo at designated hitter. Rotowire.com Today, 7:20 am

    • Homers in third straight contest
      Diaz went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Cardinals.

      Advice: Diaz got Houston on the board in the bottom of the fifth inning, smacking a solo shot off Miles Mikolas the opposite way to cut the Astros deficit to 3-1. It's the third straight game with a home run for Diaz, who's up to six long balls on the season. The 25-year-old backstop is now slashing .250/.278/.397 with 29 RBI and 21 runs scored across 216 plate appearances this year. Rotowire.com Today, 7:18 am
