  • Takes seat Thursday
    Bouchard is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Bouchard started in right field or at designated hitter in each of the last three games, going 1-for-10 with a run and an RBI. The Rockies have leaned on Bouchard as their primary replacement in the lineup for Kris Bryant (back), but Bouchard's time as a near-everyday player could soon come to an end if he's unable to get going at the plate. Since being called up from Triple-A Albuquerque on April 17, Bouchard is slashing .214/.333/.286 over 33 plate appearances. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago
     
  • Resting Thursday
    Blackmon is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Blackmon's absence from the lineup looks to be nothing more than routine maintenance while the Rockies and Marlins conclude their series with a day game after a night game. Hunter Goodman will replace Blackmon in the lineup, serving as the Rockies' designated hitter while batting ninth. Rotowire.com 32 minutes ago
     
  • Hot streak continues
    Nevin went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a second run scored in Wednesday's 4-0 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: The 26-year-old took Quinn Priester deep in the third inning, extending an impressive stretch that has seen Nevin record four straight multi-hit performances as part of a nine-game hitting streak. He's left the yard four times during his heater, accounting for all of his homers on the season, and since joining Oakland at the beginning of April he's slashed .325/.375/.500 in 88 plate appearances with 10 runs and 10 RBI. Nevin posted consistently solid numbers in the minors but never got much of an opportunity in Baltimore, and he stumbled with Detroit in 2023. If this is his last chance to establish himself as a big-league player, he seems to be making the most of it. Rotowire.com 58 minutes ago
     
  • Two hits in win
    Brennan went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Wednesday's win over the Astros.

    Advice: Brennan got ahead in the count 2-0 to lead off the fifth inning before crushing a hanging four-seamer from Justin Verlander into the stands in right field for his fourth home run of the season. The outfielder would later add a single on the night to give him his sixth multi-hit game of the campaign, with four of those performances coming over his last eight contests. He also has six extra-base hits over that eight-game stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 4:40 am

  • Steals fourth bag
    Palacios went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base Wednesday against the Brewers.

    Advice: Palacios was the lone offensive bright spot for the Rays on Wednesday, and he now has three multi-hit efforts in his last five starts. He also stole his third base in that span Wednesday, bringing his total to four on the season. Palacios has a large-side platoon role in right field and has maintained an impressive 163 wRC+ and .395 wOBA across 87 plate appearances on the campaign. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:29 pm
     
  • Swipes fifth bag
    Abreu went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-2 win against the Giants.

    Advice: Abreu stole a base in three straight games between April 15 and April 18, but he hadn't notched any thefts over his subsequent 10 contests coming into Wednesday. The 24-year-old outfielder continues to cement his place in the starting lineup, as he's slashing .316/.395/.519 with two homers, 12 RBI, 14 runs and five thefts on the campaign. Abreu began the campaign as Boston's fourth outfielder but has since emerged as the team's everyday right fielder and cleanup hitter. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:25 pm

  • Notches fourth homer
    Cabrera went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run during Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Orioles.

    Advice: Cabrera tagged Corbin Burnes for a two-run shot in the fifth inning, plating Jose Trevino for the Yankees' only runs. The long ball was Cabrera's first since April 13. His two hits were his first of the series, entering Wednesday's contest 0-for-7 in the first two games of the four-game bill. Through 110 plate appearances, Cabrera is slashing .262/.300/.417 with 18 RBI and two stolen bases. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:58 pm

  • Andy Pages slugs two-run homer in win Wednesday
    Andy Pages went 1-for-5 with a two-run homer on Wednesday in an 8-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Pages got the scoring started for the Dodgers in the second inning, blasting a towering two-run homer off Jordan Montgomery. The 23-year-old outfielder has impressed in his major league debut, hitting .291/.317/.545 with three homers, 12 runs scored, and 10 RBI across 60 plate appearances. There were questions regarding his hit tool, but he’s posted just a 21.7 percent strikeout rate, supporting his early production. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:35 pm
