  • Taking seat Wednesday
    Goodman is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Astros.

    Advice: Goodman is on the bench Wednesday, but he seems to have settling into a near-everyday role of late while moving between designated hitter and catcher. He had started in nine of the Rockies' previous 10 games, going 10-for-37 with five home runs, one double, 10 RBI and seven runs over that stretch. Rotowire.com Today, 9:53 am

  • Lifts three-run homer
    Jeffers went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.

    Advice: Jeffers' seventh-inning blast briefly tied the game at 4-4 before the Diamondbacks took the lead back a half-inning later. The catcher opened June in an 0-for-17 skid, but he's hit safely in seven of his last eight games, going 8-for-31 (.258) in that span. He's up to a .236/.323/.482 slash line with 13 home runs, 41 RBI, 30 runs scored and two stolen bases over 255 plate appearances. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:17 pm
     
  • Tallies three hits in win
    Naylor went 3-for-4 with an RBI and three runs scored in a 10-8 win over the Orioles on Tuesday.

    Advice: Naylor was active early, doubling and scoring in the second inning and then singling and scoring the third. He hit an RBI triple and came around to score again in the eighth. Naylor finished a home run shy of a cycle in his first three-hit effort of the season. Over his past five games, Naylor has gone 8-for-18 with six extra-base hits, five RBI and six runs scored. On the season, the young catcher is hitting .202 with four home runs, 17 RBI and 22 runs scored over 168 at-bats. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:39 pm
     
  • Gary Sánchez scratched Tuesday with calf tightness
    Gary Sánchez was scratched from Tuesday’s lineup due to left calf tightness.

    Advice: It sounds like a precautionary move by the Brewers as it’ll be William Contreras handling the catching duties instead on Tuesday night. Fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:15 pm

  • Scratched with calf tightness
    Sanchez was scratched from the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers due to left calf tightness, Curt Hogg of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Advice: The veteran slugger was penciled in as Milwaukee's designated hitter, but he'll instead hit the bench due to the injury. Sanchez should be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's series finale versus Texas, which is followed by a team day off Thursday. Rhys Hoskins will now serve as the DH on Tuesday while Jake Bauers starts at first base. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 3:31 pm

  • Taking seat Monday
    Fermin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Marlins.

    Advice: Fermin is on the bench for the second day in a row, but his playing time could be on the upswing nonetheless while he's produced a .271/.314/.500 slash line through the first three and a half weeks of June. In addition to filling in at catcher on days that top backstop Salvador Perez gets days off behind the dish, Fermin will factor into the equation at designated hitter, where he had made two of his last three starts.

  • Mets waive catcher Joe Hudson
    Mets designated C Joe Hudson for assignment

    Advice: With Luis Torrens coming off the paternity list, the Mets will move on from Hudson. The 33-year-old caught half an inning over the weekend, which was his first MLB action in four years. Rotoworld Monday, 9:43 am
     
  • Cast off 40-man roster
    The Mets designated Hudson for assignment Monday.

    Advice: As expected, Hudson's stay with the Mets lasted only through the weekend while No. 2 catcher Luis Torrens (personal) was away from the team while on the paternity list. Torrens has since linked back up with the team and will be available Tuesday for the start of the two-game series against the Yankees, leaving no need for the Mets to carry Hudson as a third catcher.

  • Out of Sunday's lineup
    Jeffers isn't in the Twins' lineup for Sunday's game against Oakland.

    Advice: Jeffers has alternated starts behind the plate with Christian Vazquez for most of June, and Sunday will simply mark Vazquez's turn to serve as Minnesota's catcher while batting ninth. Rotowire.com Sunday, 11:18 am
