  • Tyler Fitzgerald serving as 27th man on Thursday
    Tyler Fitzgerald will serve as the 27th man for Thursday’s game against the Cardinals at Rickwood Field in Alabama.

    Advice: Fitzgerald has gotten into a career-high 27 contests this season for San Francisco and provides the club with a versatile bench option for Thursday’s showdown against the Cardinals at historic Rickwood Field in Alabama. Rotoworld Today, 1:37 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 Today, 12:41 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 Today, 11:42 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. Rotowire.com Today, 9:34 am

  • Added as 27th man
    The Giants recalled Fitzgerald from Triple-A Sacramento on Thursday.

    Advice: Fitzgerald will serve as the team's 27th man during Thursday's game against the Cardinals at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Ala. The utility player is likely to be sent back to Sacramento following the contest. Rotowire.com Today, 9:11 am
     
  • Reaches three times in win
    Schuemann went 0-for-2 with three walks and a run in a win over the Royals on Wednesday.

    Advice: Schuemann's busy night on the basepaths surprisingly led to only one run, but it did push his OBP back up to an improving .318. The rookie has hit safely in three of the last four games, and his walk rate has now hit double digits (10.1 percent) after also sitting at that threshold in each of the last six minor-league stops before his promotion.

  • Paul Dejong gets a day off on Thursday
    Paul Dejong is not in the lineup for the White Sox on Thursday against the Astros.

    Advice: Dejong will take a seat with Nicky Lopez sliding over to shortstop and Danny Mendick playing second base. The veteran is having a great month of June, hitting .246 with six home runs, nine runs, and 11 RBI in 17 games. The power is obviously really nice, but the poor team context around him is keeping his counting stats a little low given his home run total. He has also never hit for a high batting average and is still under .250 even with the power, so he’s really just an add if you’re looking for home runs from your middle infield spot.

  • Out of Thursday's lineup
    Walls is out of the lineup for Thursday's contest in Minnesota, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: Walls started six of eight games at shortstop after returning from the injured list June 7 but has now been in the lineup just once over the last five tilts, though he was battling an illness for some of that time. Jose Caballero will cover shortstop Thursday in Walls' stead. Rotowire.com Today, 8:11 am

  • Getting maintenance day
    DeJong is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: He'll receive a breather for the day game after a night game, opening up a turn at shortstop for Nicky Lopez. DeJong had started each of the White Sox's previous 21 games and was one of the team's most productive hitters over that stretch, batting .235 with 11 extra-base hits (seven home runs, four doubles), 12 RBI and 10 runs.
