  • Continuing to ramp up
    LeMahieu (foot) took batting practice on the Yankee Stadium field Wednesday and will travel with the club on its upcoming road trip to Tampa, per MLB.com.

    Advice: In addition to swinging the bat, LeMahieu has also been fielding ground balls as he works his way back from the non-displaced right foot fracture he suffered March 16. By traveling with New York on its next road trip, he'll be able to take live at-bats and do infield work at the team's training complex, which happens to be in Tampa. Manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that the club intends to ramp up LeMahieu's "baseball activities all week" and indicated that the veteran infielder could potentially start a minor-league rehab assignment soon thereafter.

  • Not starting against Yanks
    Rosario is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup against the Yankees, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Advice: The 28-year-old infielder has been the go-to second basemen for Tampa Bay recently as they've been dealing with an injured Brandon Lowe (oblique), but Rosario will start from the dugout Friday. He currently sports a .301 average with 15 RBI, and Richie Palacios will get the start at second base and will bat seventh in the lineup. Rotowire.com Today, 12:33 pm

  • Launches third home run
    Ortiz went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 7-1 win over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Ortiz has now homered in consecutive games played and has registered an extra-base hit in five of his last eight contests. He continues to crush right-handed pitching this season, batting .327 with three home runs, eight runs scored and 10 RBI in 66 plate appearances. The 25-year-old will continue to jockey with Oliver Dunn for playing time at the hot corner, but Ortiz's recent hot streak could give him the upper hand. Rotowire.com Today, 10:24 am

  • On base three times in win
    Hampson went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk, one RBI, one stolen base and one run scored in Thursday's 10-4 win over the Angels.

    Advice: Hampson was one of five Royals with a multi-hit effort in the high-scoring win. The utility man continues to play in a short-side platoon role in center field, though he's also often entered off the bench this season due to his versatility. He's hit well when given the chance, batting .268 with no home runs, two doubles, three RBI, five runs scored and four steals over 43 plate appearances. Kyle Isbel continues to handle the majority of the playing time in center. Rotowire.com Today, 9:58 am
