  • Jhonkensy Noel plates two on Thursday at Triple-A
    Guardians 1B/OF prospect Jhonkensy Noel went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI on Thursday for Triple-A Columbus.

    Advice: Noel’s stock slipped a bit last year as he struggled in the upper minors, but he’s really turned things around this year, cutting back on the strikeouts and still hitting for power. The 22-year-old slugger has 17 round-trippers in 62 games so far this season at Triple-A Columbus. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see him get a shot in Cleveland at some point later this year.

  • Three hits, four RBI in win
    Mountcastle went 3-for-6 with two doubles, four RBI and three runs scored in Thursday's win over the Yankees while also drawing a walk.

    Advice: Mountcastle increased Baltimore's lead to six runs with a three-run double in the second before also coming around to score later in the frame. He would go on to reach base four times in the game while also driving in another run, matching his season high with four RBI. The first baseman has now recorded multiple hits in back-to-back contests and extended his hitting streak to five games with Thursday's performance. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:07 pm
     
  • Santander belts 19th home run Thursday
    Anthony Santander went 2-for-5 with a walk and a three-run home run against the Yankees on Thursday.

    Advice: Santander’s home run was his 19th of the season. He’s hit a ridiculous 10 home runs in 19 games in June. Santander’s hitting .230 with a .806 OPS and 48 RBI on the season. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:36 pm
     
  • Yandy Diaz homers as Rays defeat Twins in 10
    Yandy Diaz hit a two-run homer and doubled in an extra-inning loss to the Rays on Thursday.

    Advice: Diaz absolutely clobbered a two-run homer that went an estimated 439 feet to extend the Rays’ lead to 6-2 in the ninth. It turns out the Rays would need those runs, as Minnesota scored four to tie it in the bottom half of the frame. Diaz is starting to heat up again, and he’s been much better than the .264/.327/.368 slash suggests after his slow start. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:30 pm
     
  • Carlos Santana homers, gets three hits in loss
    Carlos Santana went 3-for-5 with a homer in a loss to the Rays on Thursday in extra-innings.

    Advice: Santana’s homer made it 6-3 in the ninth, and Minnesota scored three more runs to take the game into extras before falling. The 38-year-old has gone deep 12 times, and while he hasn’t helped much in the average category (.247), he’s been a solid power-producer; particularly since scuffling over the first three weeks.

  • Moves rehab to Triple-A
    Foscue (oblique) was transferred to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday to continue his rehab assignment.

    Advice: Foscue went 7-for-17 with one home run in six games with the Rangers' Arizona Complex League affiliate after missing two months with a left oblique strain. He could be ready for activation soon, but Foscue isn't a given to rejoin the major-league roster at that time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:02 pm

  • Nolan Jones (illness) remains out of the lineup
    Nolan Jones (illness) is not in the Rockies lineup on Thursday against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Jones will miss his second straight game with an illness as Sean Bouchard fills in for him in left field and bats second. Jones has looked better since coming off the IL, going 5-for-13 (.385) with one stolen base and just two strikeouts to eight walks. The plate discipline improvements are really nice to see and there might still be a buy low window here before he returns to the lineup from this bout of sickness. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:00 pm
