  • Luis Rengifo exits game with hand injury Wednesday
    Luis Rengifo was removed from Wednesday night’s battle against the Athletics in the ninth inning due to an apparent hand injury.

    Advice: Rengifo appeared to injure his hand while swinging the bat on a foul ball in the ninth inning. Whatever the issue is, it was substantial enough to pull him from the game in the middle of an at-bat. The Angels should have an update on Rengifo’s status prior to Thursday’s series finale.

  • Max Scheumann slugs solo homer Wednesday
    Max Schuemann went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and a walk against the Angels on Wednesday.

    Advice: Schuemann gave the A’s a three-run lead with a solo homer off Davis Daniel in the fifth inning, his only hit of the game. He later drew a walk.

  • Exits with injury
    Rengifo was removed from Wednesday's game versus Oakland due to an apparent injury, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

    Advice: Rengifo's hand/wrist seemed to be bothering him after he fouled off a pitch in the ninth inning, and he was immediately replaced at the plate following the incident. The specifics of his injury remain unknown, but the Angels will presumably take him in for imaging and should offer more information ahead of Thursday's game. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:58 pm

  • Brooks Lee has two hits, RBI in MLB debut
    Brooks Lee had a memorable MLB debut in Wednesday’s loss to the Tigers, going 2-for-4 with a pair of singles and an RBI.

    Advice: After taking a called third strike from Keider Montero in his first at-bat, Lee shot a sharp single into center field in the fourth inning for his first big-league hit. He added his first RBI in the seventh inning, plating Byron Buxton with a single to center. He’s going to play on a nightly basis with Royce Lewis (groin) shelved and deserves consideration in all mixed leagues. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:37 pm

  • Anthony Volpe snaps out of cold spell with two RBI
    Anthony Volpe smacked a two-run double on Wednesday in the Yankees’ loss to the Reds.

    Advice: Volpe got New York on the scoreboard in the seventh inning with a two-run double off Cincinnati starter Andrew Abbott. It wasn’t all positive for the young shortstop as he grounded into a key double play in the ninth inning to squash any hope of a Yankees rally against Reds stopper Alexis Díaz. The 23-year-old shortstop has been struggling the last few weeks, batting .212 (29-for-137) with zero homers and only four steals over his last 30 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:08 pm
     
  • Oneil Cruz delivers walk-off hit to beat Cardinals
    Oneil Cruz delivered a game-winning single in the 10th inning on Wednesday, leading the Pirates to a 5-4 walk-off victory over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Cruz followed Bryan Reynolds’ game-tying single in the bottom of the 10th-inning by scalding a 106-mph line-drive to right field off Cardinals reliever JoJo Romero that sent the Pirates faithful home in walk-off fashion. The 25-year-old shortstop recorded an impressive three batted ball events in the extra-inning marathon with exit velocities over 106 mph. There have been some considerable ups and down this season for Cruz, which isn’t totally unexpected after missing nearly all of last year due to a serious leg injury, but he’s had some extremely promising moments. This certainly qualifies as a highlight-reel moment, especially if the Pirates finally wind up making it back to the postseason. Rotoworld Yesterday, 6:51 pm

  • Orlando Arcia (tooth) remains out of Braves lineup
    Orlando Arcia (tooth) remains out of the Braves’ starting lineup for Wednesday’s tilt against the Giants.

    Advice: Arcia had his abscessed tooth extracted on Tuesday but is still dealing with an infection and wasn’t quite ready to go on Wednesday. Zack Short will draw another start in his place at shortstop and will bat ninth against Jordan Hicks and the Giants on Wednesday evening in Atlanta. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:48 pm

  • Officially promoted
    The Twins selected Lee's contract from Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

    Advice: Lee will get his first taste of major-league action, filling Royce Lewis' (groin) spot on the active roster. The 23-year-old has been lighting it up at St. Paul, owning a 1.029 OPS and a .306 ISO across 94 plate appearances. He should mix in with Jose Miranda at third base while Lewis is on the IL.

  • Twins promote top prospect Brooks Lee on Wednesday
    Twins selected the contract of INF Brooks Lee from Triple-A St. Paul.

    Advice: With Royce Lewis (groin) heading back to the injured list, it’ll give Lee an opportunity to show what he can do at the big -league level for the first time. The 23-year-old infielder has hit .350/.412/.585 with seven homers, 26 RBI, two stolen bases and an 18/13 K/BB ratio over 136 plate appearances across three minor league levels this season. Lee will start at third base and bat eighth in his big-league debut against the Tigers on Wednesday night. He’s worth an immediate look in most mixed leagues. Rotoworld Yesterday, 1:41 pm
