  • Slam Diego: Jake Cronenworth powers Padres to win
    Jake Cronenworth blasted a tie-breaking seventh-inning grand slam on Wednesday, powering the Padres to a 6-2 victory over the Reds.

    Advice: Cronenworth put San Diego ahead for good with a towering grand slam to right field off Reds standout reliever Fernando Cruz in the seventh inning. It was his fifth long ball of the season and lone hit in three at-bats. The 30-year-old on-base machine has helped hold things together this season as a mainstay in the heart of San Diego’s lineup.

  • Spencer Steer snaps homerless streak Wednesday
    Spencer Steer clobbered a solo homer on Wednesday in the Reds’ loss to the Padres.

    Advice: Steer kicked off the scoring with a solo shot to left-center field -- his fourth round-tripper of the season -- off Padres starter Joe Musgrove in the opening frame. It was the first time he’s gone deep since April 6, snapping a bizarre 22-game homerless drought. The versatile 26-year-old on-base machine is batting .252/.364/.450 with 18 runs scored, four homers, 22 RBI and eight stolen bases through 31 contests. Rotoworld Today, 3:47 pm

  • Not in starting lineup
    Newman is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's outing versus the Dodgers.

    Advice: The 30-year-old infielder will get a break with Blaze Alexander starting at shortstop Wednesday as the Diamondbacks finish out their series against Los Angeles. Newman has started at shortstop in six of Arizona's last 10 games and is slashing .157/.189/.314 on the season. Rotowire.com Today, 3:15 pm

  • Tyler Nevin belts solo homer to sink Pirates
    Tyler Nevin went 2-for-4 with a solo homer on Wednesday, propelling the Athletics to a 4-0 victory over the Pirates.

    Advice: Nevin has homered four times in his last seven games and continues to quietly emerge as a impact contributor for the Athletics. The 26-year-old first baseman is batting .325 (26-for-80) with four homers, 10 RBI and one steal in 25 games in his Oakland debut. Rotoworld Today, 3:09 pm

  • Yandy Díaz goes 0-for-5 in loss to Brewers
    Yandy Díaz finished 0-for-5 in the loss to the Brewers on Wednesday.

    Advice: Díaz did reach on an error, but he was credited with four groundouts and one flyout today. His groundball rate is currently checking in at 62%, well above his already problematic career mark of 53%. Hopefully, it’s something he can straightened out in the next few weeks. If not, it looks like we’re back to the Díaz of 2019-21, when he was a valuable major leaguer but one without much to offer in fantasy leagues. Rotoworld Today, 1:49 pm

  • Astros recall Trey Cabbage from Triple-A
    Astros recalled OF Trey Cabbage from Triple-A Sugar Land.

    Advice: As anticipated, Cabbage will take the roster spot vacated by the recently-demoted Jose Abreu. The 26-year-old outfielder was off to a nice start at Triple-A Sugar Land — slashing .271/.440/.486 with three homers, nine RBI, seven stolen bases and a 29/21 K/BB ratio over 91 plate appearances. He could be an interesting fantasy option in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues if he works his way into regular playing time with the Astros. Rotoworld Today, 1:21 pm

  • Angels place Miguel Sanó (knee) on 10-day IL
    Angels placed INF Miguel Sanó on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 28, with left knee inflammation.

    Advice: The Angels had been playing a man down while the 30-year-old slugger was hobbled by a knee injury, but they simply couldn’t do it any longer. Willie Calhoun had his contract selected from Triple-A Salt Lake to take his place on the active roster. Rotoworld Today, 1:07 pm

  • Scratched due to migraine
    The Angels scratched Drury from the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Phillies due to migraine.

    Advice: Drury had been in line to bat cleanup and start at second base before the migraine surfaced shortly before first pitch. Luis Rengifo will slide over from third base and start at the keystone in Drury's stead, while Ehire Adrianza was added to the lineup to start at third base. Rotowire.com Today, 1:06 pm
