  • Making another start versus righty
    Biggio is in the lineup at third base and batting eighth Thursday versus the Rangers.

    Advice: Biggio is getting his second start at third base for the Dodgers after going 1-for-3 in his debut for the team Wednesday. Thursday's start comes against righty Michael Lorenzen on the mound for the Rangers. With Max Muncy remaining on the injured list and Enrique Hernandez sitting versus a righty, it appears Biggio will be the primary option at third versus right-handers. Hernandez was filling the role as the everyday third baseman with Muncy out, but has been lackluster versus righties. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:37 pm

  • Out of lineup versus righty
    Hernandez isn't in the Dodgers' lineup versus the Rangers on Thursday.

    Advice: Hernandez is on the bench again with righty Michael Lorenzen on the mound for the Rangers. Recently acquired Cavan Biggio has the start at third and is batting eighth Thursday. Hernandez, who was serving as the primary third baseman in Max Muncy's absence, will now seem to just fill that role against lefties while Biggio will start against righties. For the season, Hernandez has a .724 OPS against lefties, but a .493 OPS against righties. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:25 pm

  • Sitting against lefty
    Rojas isn't in the Mariners' lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

    Advice: With left-hander Garrett Crochet set to start for the Sox, the lefty-hitting Rojas will retreat to the dugout Thursday. Dylan Moore will take over at third base while Ryan Bliss covers second. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:13 pm

  • Brendan Donovan homers in Cardinals’ win
    Brendan Donovan hit his fifth homer Thursday to help the Cardinals edge the Pirates 4-3.

    Advice: Donovan has been dropped in the lineup, even against righties, but he’s making a case for another opportunity hitting first or second with his current eight-game hitting streak. He’s back up to .248/.325/.380 overall, even though his .271 BABIP is 50 points lower this his career mark. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:57 pm

  • Nolan Gorman goes 0-for-4 against Pirates
    Nolan Gorman finished 0-for-4 as the Cardinals’ cleanup man Thursday against the Pirates.

    Advice: Gorman is 3-for-31 in his last eight games, putting him back down to .215/.297/.463 for the season. That’s still a pretty good line in the current offensive climate, but he’d be better cast as a No. 6 hitter. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:57 pm
     
  • Sitting Thursday
    Sosa isn't in the White Sox's lineup Thursday against the Mariners.

    Advice: Sosa went 2-for-12 across the first three games of Chicago's series against the Mariners, and he'll now sit down for the finale while Danny Mendick starts at third base and bats ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:46 pm
     
  • Collects season-high four hits
    Albies went 4-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and two runs scored Thursday against the Orioles.

    Advice: Albies' first-inning double set the stage for Atlanta to take an early lead while his double in the ninth eventually led to a couple of insurance runs as a tight one-run lead turned into a three-run victory. Albies collected multiple hits for the 17th time in 58 games, though it's just the second time he's had three or more in a game this season. His four-hit effort came on the heels of a seven-game stretch in which he had collected just four hits total, batting .143 over 28 at-bats during that span. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 2:06 pm
     
  • Ozzie Albies collects four hits against Orioles
    Ozzie Albies had four hits, including a pair of doubles, and two runs scored Thursday against the Orioles.

    Advice: That as many hits as he had in his previous seven games combined. Albies hasn’t been a disaster for the Braves this season, but he has been quite a fantasy disappointment, mostly because he’s been limited to four homers in 58 games. He finished with 33 in 148 games last year. It’s the result of injuries and the short 2020, but it’s kind of funny that through Albies’ first seven seasons (not including the partial 2024), he’s had at least 24 homers four times and no more than eight the other three years.

  • Resting Thursday
    Perdomo isn't in the Diamondbacks' lineup for Thursday's game against the Angels.

    Advice: Perdomo has gone 3-for-7 with an RBI and a run scored in two games since returning from the injured list. He'll get a breather against Griffin Canning and the Angels while Kevin Newman starts at shortstop, batting ninth. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:35 pm
