  • Homers in third straight game
    Gelof went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Royals on Thursday.

    Advice: Gelof temporarily tied the score with his two-run shot off Seth Lugo in the seventh inning. After a slow start to the season, the second baseman has perked up with the bat of late, going deep in each of his past three contests and driving in seven runs across his past four games. Gelof's strikeout woes have continued over that span, though, as he's fanned eight times to push his strikeout rate on the season up to an ugly 34.7 percent. Rotowire.com Today, 12:04 am
     
  • Tyler Black at first base on Thursday vs. Padres
    Tyler Black is at first base and batting seventh on Thursday against the Giants.

    Advice: Black is making his first appearance back in the majors since early May when he batted .227 (5-for-22) with zero homers and two steals in a brief seven-game cameo. The 23-year-old possesses exemplary plate skills and ultra-rare stolen base prowess for a first base-eligible fantasy option. The 23-year-old top prospect is going to make a significant impact for fantasy managers, if he can carve out an everyday role for Milwaukee. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:03 pm
     
  • Zack Gelof homers Thursday for third straight game
    Zack Gelof went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run against the Royals on Thursday.

    Advice: Gelof’s home run was his eighth of the season and his third consecutive game with a home run. He’s still just hitting .202 on the season, but the power is starting to show up. Gelof hit 14 home runs in 69 games last year and could be a decent power source in the middle infield going forward. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:56 pm
     
  • Dylan Moore homers and steals base in loss
    Dylan Moore homered and stole a base Thursday in a loss to the Guardians.

    Advice: Moore shellacked a Logan Allen pitch in the first inning to give Seattle a 2-0 lead. The steal gives the 31-year-old 13 on the season, and it’s the eighth homer of the season. Moore has scuffled in June with a .512 OPS, but he has homered in two of his last three games, and his power/speed combo will always be intriguing. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:41 pm

  • 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

  • Absent from lineup
    Mateo is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Yankees.

    Advice: Mateo had a couple hits and a run scored in Wednesday's extra-inning victory over the Yankees, but he'll nonetheless begin Thursday's festivities on the bench. Jordan Westburg is at second base and Ramon Urias will play third. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:42 am
     
  • Sitting out Thursday
    Toro (shoulder) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Royals.

    Advice: Toro will miss out on a third consecutive start while he recovers from a sore shoulder, an injury that first cropped up in the Athletics' doubleheader with the Twins on Sunday. Aledmys Diaz will fill in at third base Thursday for Toro, who is considered day-to-day. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:55 am

  • Resting against lefty
    Biggio is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: Biggio will join fellow left-handed hitters Gavin Lux and Jason Heyward on the bench for the series finale in Colorado while the Rockies send southpaw Ty Blach to the hill. Enrique Hernandez will enter the lineup at third base as Biggio's replacement. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:39 am

  • Begins hitting progression
    Hernaiz (ankle) has begun a hitting progression, MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Hernaiz was able to shed his walking boot in the first half of June, and he's now graduated to baseball work from the strength and fitness program. The infielder will likely progress to full baseball activities after the hitting progression before eventually embarking on what could be a fairly robust rehab assignment.
