• Idle against southpaw
    Naylor isn't in the Guardians' lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

    Advice: The Rockies will send lefty Ty Blach to the mound to begin Wednesday's contest, so the left-handed bat of Naylor will retreat to the bench. Austin Hedges will step in to play catcher while batting eighth. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 2:18 pm
     
  • Resting Wednesday
    Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: Jansen will get some routine maintenance in the series finale after he started at catcher in each of the Blue Jays' last three games. Alejandro Kirk will spell Jansen behind the dish. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:48 pm
  • Not in lineup Wednesday
    Murphy is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Nationals.

    Advice: Murphy started the first two games of the series against the Nationals in his return from the injured list, going 2-for-7 with an RBI. He will give way to Travis d'Arnaud behind the plate on Wednesday. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 12:32 pm
  • Sitting out first game
    Kelly isn't in the lineup for the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Pirates.

    Advice: The Tigers will have Jake Rogers behind the plate for the opening game, catching for Tarik Skubal. Kelly should be behind the plate for the second game. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 6:34 am
  • Swipes first bag, knocks in run
    Wong went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and an RBI in Tuesday's 8-3 win over the Orioles.

    Advice: Wong swiped his first bag of the season in the fifth inning then produced an insurance run with an eighth-inning single. The catcher, who batted .235 last season, continued a breakout at the dish and is batting .324 with an .836 OPS over 136 plate appearances. A .364 BABIP portends a correction is coming, but Wong is making more consistent contact and nearly halved his strikeout percentage, from 33.3 percent in 2023 to 17.6 percent in 2024.

  • Fills stat sheet in win
    Fry went 3-for-5 with a three-run home run, a stolen base and three total runs scored in Tuesday's 13-7 win over the Rockies.

    Advice: Fry has a pair of three-hits games over his last nine contests, going 13-for-26 (.500) with four homers, three steals and 11 RBI in that span. The utility man is on another level lately, though he's been strong throughout the campaign with a .357/.492/.622 slash line, seven homers, 23 RBI, 26 runs scored and four steals over 128 plate appearances. He's started three straight games in left field, but that avenue into the lineup will close when Steven Kwan (hamstring) returns from the injured list. Fry could compete for playing time with Kyle Manzardo at designated hitter or Bo Naylor at catcher, given both of those players' struggles at the plate. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 9:59 pm

  • David Fry goes 3-for-3, hits three-run homer
    David Fry went 3-for-3 and hit a three-run homer Tuesday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Fry wasn’t expected to make the Guardians out of spring training and then wasn’t slated to play against righties once he did make the team, but all he’s done so far is hit .357/.492/.622 with seven homers and four steals in 128 plate appearances. The exit velocity numbers don’t back up anything close to this level of performance, but he’ll probably remain pretty solid and he has catcher eligibility. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:49 pm

  • Sitting down Tuesday
    Campusano isn't in the Padres' lineup for Tuesday's game against Miami.

    Advice: Campusano will get a day to clear his head Tuesday after going 0-for-11 across his last five games. Kyle Higashioka will fill in behind the dish and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 3:15 pm
  • On bench Tuesday
    Kelly is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Pirates.

    Advice: Kelly will yield to Jake Rogers behind the dish Tuesday against righty Jared Jones. Kelly garnered a hit in each of his last three games played, including a three-run homer Sunday. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 11:56 am
