  • Stays warm with three-hit game
    Rafaela went 3-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Saturday's 8-4 win over the Yankees.

    Advice: This was Rafaela's third multi-hit effort over his last four games. He's gone eight contests without an RBI, though he also has just two extra-base hits in that span. The 23-year-old continues to trend in the right direction -- his .230 batting average is the highest mark he's achieved since April 7. He's added a .634 OPS, seven home runs, eight stolen bases, 37 RBI and 33 runs scored through 70 games. Rotowire.com 5 minutes ago

  • Wilyer Abreu (ankle) sprinting at full speed
    Red Sox’ manager Alex Cora told reporters on Saturday that Wilyer Abreu (ankle) is now sprinting at full speed.

    Advice: The 24-year-old outfielder is expected to be ready for a minor league rehab assignment early next week, and should only need a couple of games to get his timing back before he’s ready to rejoin the Red Sox’ lineup. Before landing on the injured list in early June, Abreu had been hitting .272/.344/.485 with six homers, 22 RBI and seven stolen bases through his first 189 plate appearances.

  • Jackson Chourios knocks in two against Reds
    Jackson Chourio singled twice and knocked in two runs against the Reds on Friday.

    Advice: Chourio would surely be back in the minors at this point if he hadn’t signed a long-term deal this spring, but it’s not like he’s embarrassing himself with a .229/.280/.365 line as a 20-year-old in a season in which offense has been hard to come by. His long-term outlook hasn’t diminished at all, even if he still doesn’t seem like a very good bet in mixed leagues over the rest of 2024. Rotoworld Yesterday, 10:24 pm
     
  • Homers vs. Miami
    Thomas went 2-for-5 with a three-run homer in Friday's 8-1 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Thomas provided the big blow in the Nationals' seven-run third inning with a homer off Shaun Anderson, his fifth long ball this season. The 28-year-old outfielder extended his hit streak to eight games -- he's gone 10-for-29 (.345) in that span. Overall, Thomas is slashing .231/.295/.359 with 21 RBI, 18 runs scored and 16 stolen bases through 40 games this year. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:01 pm

  • Lane Thomas mashes three-run homer
    Lane Thomas went 2-for-5 on Friday with a home run, three RBI, and a run scored in a win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Thomas has once again been a dynamo this season in the heart of the Nationals’ order. The home run was his fifth in just 40 games - a 20 homer pace - to go along with 16 stolen bases. His .231 batting average and .295 on-base percentage are a bit of a drag, but are easy to stomach with those gaudy counting numbers. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:10 pm

  • Rehab assignment next week
    Abreu (ankle) is likely to begin a rehab assignment next week, Jen McCaffrey of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Abreu has been upping his workouts this week and is days away from testing out his right ankle in game action. He's less than two weeks removed from suffered an ankle sprain, so Abreu shouldn't need many rehab at-bats before rejoining the Red Sox' roster. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:36 pm

  • Lane Thomas tossed for arguing balls and strikes
    Lane Thomas was ejected from Thursday’s game in the sixth inning for arguing a called third strike.

    Advice: Thomas was tossed by Emil Jimenez from a tie game for seemingly very little reason. Nick Senzel, who was supposed to get the day off, replaced him, with Ildemaro Vargas moving from third base to the outfield. Rotoworld Thursday, 11:43 am
