    Jeffers is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

  • Stays hot in win
    Moreno went 3-for-5 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's win over the Dodgers.

    Advice: Moreno singled in his third trip to the plate before then swiping his first bag of the season. He added another single and a two-run double in his next two at-bats, giving the catcher his third multi-hit performance over his last four games. Moreno has also driven in two runs in three of his last four contests (dating back to June 21) and is riding a three-game hitting streak since returning from the injured list.

  • Removed with side injury
    Maile was removed from Thursday's game in the seventh inning after sustaining a side injury near his right hip, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Maile said he was uncomfortable all day and felt pain on the follow-through of his swing that produced an inning-ending groundout in the bottom of the sixth frame. He remained in the game but was eventually removed the next inning. Maile described it as a nerve hurting on the lower right side of his hip. He received treatment following the game and reports feeling better already. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:38 am

  • Belts homer in loss Thursday
    Wells went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's loss to Cincinnati.

    Advice: Wells put the Yankees on the board in the fifth inning with a 423-foot solo blast to center field. Of the backstop's past four hits, three (two homers and a double) have gone for extra bases. Wells continues to split time with Jose Trevino behind the plate -- each catcher has started four times over New York's past eight contests. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:36 pm
     
  • Featured in blowout win
    Jeffers went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, an RBI double, an RBI single and an additional run scored during Thursday's 12-3 win over the Tigers.

    Advice: Although Thursday's contest was called after seven innings due to rain, Jeffers and the Twins' offense had no trouble putting up runs. The 27-year-old drove in four of those runs, highlighted by a two-run home run off Kenta Maeda in the fourth inning. Jeffers' round tripper was his 15th of the year, which is a career-high tally. The outing was also Jeffers' first multi-hit performance in 11 games and marked his second four-RBI game of 2024. Rotowire.com Thursday, 9:10 pm
     
  • Sitting down Thursday
    Smith isn't in the Dodgers' lineup for Thursday's game against the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Smith went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored during Wednesday's loss, and he'll get a breather for Thursday's rubber match. Austin Barnes will start at catcher instead and bat ninth. Rotowire.com Thursday, 3:07 pm
     
  • Ryan Jeffers goes 3-for-5, homers in rout
    Ryan Jeffers went 3-for-5 with a homer, a double and four RBI against the Tigers on Thursday.

    Advice: He was also hit by a pitch in the seventh on what proved to be the last play in a rain-shortened game. Jeffers had a great first month and a half, followed by a bad second month and a half; he came into this one batting .157/.252/.269 since May 15. Hopefully, this was the start of him getting untracked and going back to being a viable option in one-catcher mixed leagues. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:31 pm
     
  • Reds outright Austin Wynns to Triple-A
    Reds sent C Austin Wynns outright to Triple-A Louisville.

    Advice: Wynns passed through waivers unclaimed after being designated for assignment earlier this week and will remain with Cincinnati as emergency catching depth stashed at Triple-A Louisville. Rotoworld Thursday, 1:07 pm
     
  • Outrighted to Louisville
    Wynns cleared waivers Thursday and accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Louisville, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The 33-year-old backstop was dropped from the 40-man roster Tuesday following the return of Tyler Stephenson but will remain in the Reds' farm system instead of testing his luck in the open market. Wynns has slashed .250/.309/.410 in 110 plate appearances with the Bats, and he would be the first choice to return to Cincinnati should Stephenson or Luke Maile need to miss an extended period of time.
