  • Bo Bichette (calf) targeting Tuesday return
    Bo Bichette (calf) will go through a full pregame routine on Monday.

    Advice: Bichette appears likely to return when first eligible on Tuesday, assuming he gets through Monday’s batting practice, fielding drills and baserunning exercises without any sort of setback. The 26-year-old shortstop landed on the injured list earlier this week with a mild right calf strain. Rotoworld Today, 9:32 am

  • Another multi-hit performance
    McMahon went 3-for-4 with a solo homer, two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Nationals while also drawing a walk.

    Advice: McMahon continued his offensive surge Saturday, tallying hits in each of his first two trips to the plate before adding a solo home run in the eighth to bring Colorado back within one run of the Nationals. It marked the third baseman's seventh multi-hit performance in his last 10 games and he's now homered in two of his last three. Over the former stretch he's batting .476 (17-for-42) with four homers, eight RBI and 11 runs scored. Rotowire.com Today, 7:43 am

  • Ryan McMahon leads Rockies to victory over Nats
    Ryan McMahon went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and a pair of RBI on Saturday, lifting the Rockies to an 8-7 walk-off victory over the Nationals.

    Advice: McMahon was at the dish for the conclusion of an instant back-and-forth Coors Field classic which ended in truly bizarre fashion when Nationals reliever Kyle Finnegan committed a pitch clock violation that led to a bases-loaded free pass for McMahon and a walk-off victory for Colorado. The 29-year-old corner infield continued to build his All-Star Game case earlier in this contest by launching a solo homer in the eighth inning to cap off an impressive three-hit effort. He’s batting .280/.354/.486 with 14 homers, 42 RBI and one steal in 286 plate appearances over 75 games so far. Rotoworld Today, 3:23 am

  • Accounts for lone run in loss
    Westburg went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Astros.

    Advice: Westburg opened the scoring in the second inning, but that was the extent of the Orioles' run production. The team had just four hits, and Westburg struck out in his other three at-bats. He's been solid lately, going 15-for-53 (.283) over his last 13 contests with nine extra-base hits in that span, though he's also struck out 15 times. The infielder has a .277/.331/.506 slash line with 12 homers, 44 RBI, 39 runs scored and six steals through 70 contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:13 pm
     
  • Idle Saturday
    Drury (illness) is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Dodgers.

    Advice: Drury had been scratched from the starting lineup on back-to-back nights, but he won't be listed as a starter for Saturday's series finale due to illness. He'll have a team day off Sunday to recover before Monday's matchup with Oakland. Luis Guillorme will play second base and bat ninth Saturday. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:36 pm
     
  • Brandon Drury remains out of lineup on Saturday
    Brandon Drury (illness) remained out of the Angels’ starting lineup for Saturday night’s battle against the Dodgers.

    Advice: It’s the third straight game that Drury has missed due to illness. With the Angels off on Sunday, he’ll have plenty of time to rest up in time for Monday’s series opener against the Athletics. Luis Guillorme will start in his place at second base and bat ninth against Tyler Glasnow and the Dodgers on Saturday night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:31 pm
     
  • Jordan Westburg homers in loss to Astros
    Jordan Westburg connected on a solo homer in a loss to the Astros on Saturday.

    Advice: Westburg’s homer accounted for the only run of the game for the Orioles; a solo shot in the second off Ronel Blanco. The 25-year-old has put together a solid first half with 12 homers, 36 RBI and .837 OPS over his 267 at-bats. Rotoworld Yesterday, 3:31 pm
     
  • Records second steal Friday
    Crawford went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run in an extra-inning loss to the Marlins on Friday.

    Advice: The veteran shortstop hit safely for the third time in the last four games while also posting his second stolen base of the season, with the first having come back on May 30. Crawford's modest recent success aside, he mostly remains mired in a season-long funk -- his current .207 average and .299 OBP are both career lows, while his 21.2 percent strikeout rate is his highest since 2018.

  • Scratched Friday with illness
    Drury was scratched from the Angels' lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Dodgers due to an illness, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: After being scratched from Wednesday's lineup, Drury was set to return to action Friday following the team's off day Thursday. His illness appears to have lingered, however. Michael Stefanic will start at second base and bat eighth against Dodgers right-hander Landon Knack, per Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register. Rotowire.com Friday, 4:52 pm
