  • Taking seat
    Soler is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Yankees, Shayna Rubin of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

    Advice: Soler is hitless in his last 14 at-bats with four strikeouts and will get a day off Saturday to regroup. Trenton Brooks will be the Giants' designated hitter and bat seventh. Rotowire.com Saturday, 2:49 pm
     
  • Adoils García goes hitless in fourth straight game
    Adolis García went 0-for-4 as the Rangers’ cleanup man Friday against the Marlins.

    Advice: This has turned into quite a slump for García; he’s batting .164 in 110 at-bats since Apr. 25. The Rangers still don’t have much reason to drop him out of the cleanup spot, since most of the hitters behind him are struggling, too. His first four weeks were so strong that he’s still hitting a reasonable .232/.289/.457 for the season. Rotoworld Friday, 7:02 pm
     
  • Recalled by San Francisco
    The Giants recalled Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento on Friday.

    Advice: The move corresponds with Marco Luciano being placed on the injured list due to a right hamstring strain. Since being optioned to Triple-A Sacramento on May 17, Schmitt has gone 14-for-44 with 12 runs, four home runs and 12 RBI. With both Luciano and Nick Ahmed (wrist) on the IL, Schmitt will likely form a platoon at shortstop with the lefty-hitting Brett Wisely. Rotowire.com Friday, 3:41 pm
     
  • Giants recall Casey Schmitt from Triple-A
    Giants recalled INF Casey Schmitt from Triple-A Sacramento.

    Advice: The 25-year-old infielder will get another opportunity with the big league club with Marco Luciano (hamstring) heading to the injured list on Friday. Schmitt has struggled in his limited action this season, hitting just .136 (3-for-22) with one RBI and a 5/0 K/BB ratio. Look for Brett Wisely to see the bulk of the action at shortstop with Luciano shelved. Rotoworld Friday, 3:37 pm
     
  • Records fifth steal in loss
    Gelof went 1-for-5 with a stolen base in an extra-innings loss to the Rays on Thursday.

    Advice: Gelof snapped an 0-for-18 slump with a single, while his steal was his fifth of the season but first since April 21. Last season's encouraging rookie campaign is increasingly in the rearview mirror for Gelof, who's now sitting on a .176 batting average and .512 OPS across 162 plate appearances. A significant season-over-season increase in strikeout rate (27.3 percent to 34.6 percent) and a notable decrease in line-drive rate (25.5 percent to 16.5 percent) have contributed to a steep drop in his BABIP (.331 to .258).

  • Knocks homer in victory
    Caratini went 1-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional RBI in Thursday's 4-0 win versus Seattle.

    Advice: Caratini plated the Astros' final two runs in the contest, belting a solo homer in the fifth inning and adding an RBI on a fielder's choice in the sixth. The long ball has his first since the final day of April, and the backup catcher has posted a modest .205 average over 39 at-bats in May. On a positive note, Caratini is registering a career-best 15.0 percent strikeout rate on the campaign. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:42 pm
     
  • Homers twice in extra-innings win
    Siri went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Thursday's 6-5 win over the A's in 12 innings.

    Advice: Siri extended Tampa's lead to 3-0 in the second inning, blasting a 428-foot solo shot off Hogan Harris before tying the game at 4-4 with his second homer off Oakland closer Mason Miller in the ninth. The 28-year-old Siri had been losing out on playing time to Jonny DeLuca, though the former has now gone 5-for-11 in his last three games while DeLuca has just one hit in his last 15 at-bats. Still, with Josh Lowe (oblique) aiming for a return early next week, Siri may have to settle for a short-side platoon role. He's slashing .188/.276/.338 with five homers, 17 RBI, 18 runs scored and seven steals through 45 games. Rotowire.com Thursday, 5:23 pm
     
  • Jose Siri blasts two homers to help Rays edge A’s
    Jose Siri went 2-for-5 with two solo home runs on Thursday in the Rays’ victory over the Athletics.

    Advice: Siri’s second home run was a game-tying blast off Athletics closer Mason Miller in the bottom of the ninth inning. The two-homer game gives him a total of just five on the season after hitting 25 in 101 games last year. Siri hit just .222 last season and is at .188 this year so he can’t be counted on for batting average. It’s possible that he could supply a decent amount of power over the course of the rest of the season, though. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:44 pm
     
  • Jose Siri walks it off for Rays
    Jose Siri delivered a walk-off single in the Rays 4-3 win over the Athletics. He also had a double and drew a walk.

    Advice: Siri played hero twice for the Rays on Wednesday: both on his game-winning hit and in the top of the ninth with a leaping catch at the wall in center field. He’s seen his batting average sink to .180 and OPS to .561 as he fights for playing time with Jonny DeLuca and Richie Palacios. Rotoworld Wednesday, 6:59 pm
