  • Starts against right-hander
    Fairchild started in center field and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to the Pirates.

    Advice: Fairchild filled in for the injured TJ Friedl (hamstring), getting a rare start against a right-hander. Fairchild is 4-for-44 against righties this season and owns a career .205 mark off them. The Reds are off Thursday, giving Friedl one more recovery day before they kick off a home series against Boston on Friday. Rotowire.com 4 minutes ago
     
  • Moves up order against lefty
    Carroll batted second and went 1-for-4 with a double in Wednesday's 3-1 loss to the Nationals.

    Advice: Carroll had been dropped to the lower third of the order against left-handers a couple of weeks ago, but he was moved back to the top third Wednesday. A 12-game stretch during which he batted .340/.446/.511 may have influenced manager Torey Lovullo's decision to get Carroll's higher in the order. Rotowire.com 20 minutes ago
     
  • Swipes two bags
    Arozarena went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a run and two stolen bases Wednesday against the Twins.

    Advice: Arozarena extended his hitting streak to a modest five games with the performance. He's been very productive in that span, swatting two homers while also swiping two bags, scoring five runs and driving in five. Even with the encouraging stretch, Arozarena has only a .293 wOBA and .185 batting average on the season. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:01 pm
     
  • Two thefts in loss
    Siani went 0-for-2 with two stolen bases in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Siani twice got aboard on fielder's choices, and he was able to notch a steal each time. He's picked up three thefts over his last six games and now has nine steals on 12 attempts this year. The outfielder is slashing a middling .214/.258/.290 with two home runs, 11 RBI, 18 runs scored, three doubles and one triple over 164 plate appearances. Siani has maintained his place in the Cardinals' lineup primarily for his defense, and his speed is a positive even though he doesn't get on base frequently. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:49 pm
     
  • Collects two hits, stolen base
    Langford went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBI and a stolen base in a 5-3 victory versus the Mets on Wednesday.

    Advice: Langford logged an RBI on a based-loaded hit-by-pitch in the first inning and added a run-scoring single in the sixth. The rookie finished with his sixth multi-hit effort in June and pushed his batting average up to .288 on the month. That's a nice improvement after Langford batted just .222 coming into June, and the added hits have helped him become more of a run producer. Of Langford's 24 RBI on the season, 11 have come across his 16 contests this month. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:43 pm
     
  • Snaps homer drought
    Taveras went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 5-3 win against the Mets.

    Advice: Taveras began the game on the bench before being called upon to play center field in the top of the seventh inning. In the bottom of that frame, Taveras produced the game-winning runs when he smashed a two-run homer to right-center field. The long ball snapped a 22-game homerless stretch for the outfielder, who hit a meager .147 during that span. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 10:38 pm
     
  • Racks up three hits in win
    Andujar went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Royals.

    Advice: Andujar has hit safely in nine of his last 10 games, and he has multiple hits in six of those contests. During the hot stretch, he's batting .381 (16-for-42) with two extra-base hits. The outfielder is up to a .330/.340/.440 slash line with two home runs, one stolen base, 14 RBI, 12 runs scored and four doubles over 94 plate appearances, which has been more than enough for him to see steady playing time in left field since his season debut May 24.

  • Two hits, two steals in win
    Mullins went 2-for-5 with one RBI, two runs scored and two stolen bases in 7-6 win over the Yankees on Wednesday.

    Advice: Mullins singled, stole second base and scored on a Ramon Urias home run in the fifth inning. He then took over in the 10th frame, hitting an RBI single, stealing third and scoring on an errant throw. Mullins saw a five-game hitting streak come to an end Tuesday but responded with a big game that included his first RBI in the month of June. While his .193 batting average is obviously disappointing, Mullins has still managed to accumulate six home runs and 15 steals over 224 plate appearances in 2024.

  • Miguel Andujar collects three hits as A’s top Royals
    Miguel Andujar went 3-for-5 with one RBI and a run scored in the A’s 5-1 win over the Royals on Wednesday.

    Advice: Andujar remains red-hot at the plate, with his sixth multi-hit game in 10 days. He knocked a base hit in the first inning, then drove in a run with a single in the third. Andujar reached for a third time with a single in the seventh and cross home plate to score on a base hit by Tyler Nevin. The 29-year-old outfielder is slashing .330/.340/.440 with two homers and 14 RBI across 94 plate appearances. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:25 pm
