  • Edmundo Sosa goes yard in loss to Orioles
    Edmundo Sosa went 1-for-4 with a solo homer against the Orioles on Saturday.

    Advice: Sosa led off the second inning with a solo shot off Grayson Rodriguez for the second of two runs the Phillies would score on the day. The 28-year-old infielder is hitting a solid .280/.343/.512 with five homers, 24 runs scored, 19 RBI, and two steals across 138 plate appearances as he fills in for Trea Turner at shortstop.

  • Sitting Saturday
    Urshela is not in the starting lineup Saturday versus the Astros, Chandler Rome of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Urshela will get a day off after he went 9-for-27 with a double, five RBI and two run scored while starting the last eight contests. Matt Vierling will slot in at third base while Akil Baddoo enters the lineup in left field and bats eighth against Houston. Rotowire.com Today, 9:19 am

  • Records 10th steal Friday
    Moore went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in a win over the Rangers on Friday.

    Advice: One night after striking out four times in his return from paternity leave, Moore made contact in all four plate appearances and followed his one hit with his 10th steal of the season. The veteran's swipe locked in his fifth double-digit tally in that category across six big-league seasons, but the knock was only his fifth across 38 plate appearances in June.

  • Sitting out Saturday
    Busch is absent from the lineup for Saturday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: Right-hander Andre Pallante is starting for the Cardinals and has reverse splits, so Busch will begin this one on the bench. Cody Bellinger is handling first base and Pete Crow-Armstrong will patrol center field. Rotowire.com Today, 8:33 am

  • Stuck in small-side platoon
    Rosario went 1-for-4 with a double and an RBI on Friday against Atlanta.

    Advice: With both Brandon Lowe and Taylor Walls back healthy, Rosario has found his playing time coming almost exclusively against lefties. He's hit well in the role, maintaining a .393 average with three RBI and four runs scored across his last 10 games, but he's started only one of the Rays' last six matchups against righties.

  • Swipes fifth bag
    Hayes went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the Rockies.

    Advice: Hayes hasn't hit well across 13 games since returning from a back injury, as he's maintained only a .240 average with one extra-base hit. However, he has shown the desire to steal bases by recording all five of his thefts on the season since his return. Rotowire.com Today, 6:57 am
     
  • Heating up
    Candelario went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and two RBI in Friday's 6-5 win over the Brewers.

    Advice: Candelario belted a two-run home run in the fifth inning to help the Reds overcome a sloppy day in the field (five errors) and on the mound (eight walks). The home run was his third in the last two games and sixth during the month of June. After an inconsistent first two months, Candelario's bat is heating up this month. He's batting .346 (18-for-52) with nine extra-base hits, 13 RBI, two steals and eight runs over 12 contests. Rotowire.com Today, 6:33 am
