  • Otto Lopez delivers walk-off hit vs. Cardinals
    Otto Lopez hit a game-winning RBI single on Wednesday, lifting the Marlins to a 4-3 walk-off victory over the Cardinals.

    Advice: Lopez helped Miami avoid a potential third straight extra-inning affair against the Cardinals by delivering a walk-off single to right field. The 25-year-old infielder has struggled of late, batting .255 (14-for-55) with zero homers and three steals over his last 15 games. Rotoworld Yesterday, 12:28 pm
  • Nolan Gorman swats solo homer in loss to Marlins
    Nolan Gorman belted a solo homer on Wednesday in the Cardinals’ loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Gorman took Marlins starter Yonny Chirinos deep in the second inning for his 16th big fly of the season. It was his lone hit in four at-bats in a low-scoring affair down in Miami. The 24-year-old slugging second baseman is batting just .161 (12-for-70) since the start of July, but half of those hits have left the ballpark, which helps salvage some semblance of fantasy appeal.

  • Ready for rehab assignment
    Bae (wrist) will join Triple-A Indianapolis to begin a rehab assignment Thursday, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.

    Advice: The outfielder has been sidelined since early June with a sprained right wrist. Given his short absence, Bae shouldn't need extensive time in the minors to get ramped up before being activated. While Bae has been sidelined, the Pirates have been leaning on a combination of Jack Suwinski and Michael Taylor in center field. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 12:24 pm

  • Smacks homer Tuesday
    Donovan went 1-for-5 with a two-run home run in Tuesday's 9-8 extra-inning loss to the Marlins.

    Advice: Donovan has gone 15-for-51 (.294) over his last 13 games, adding two homers and seven RBI in that span. The 27-year-old got a rare start at third base Tuesday with Nolan Arenado taking a day off, though Donovan has found consistent playing time between left field and second base for much of the year. He's at a .247/.319/.380 slash line with six homers, 32 RBI, 32 runs scored and one stolen base over 67 games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:56 am

  • Pirates option Alika Williams after IL stint
    Pirates activated INF Alika Williams from the 10-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis.

    Advice: Rather than carry the light-hitting Williams, the Pirates will go with Jared Triolo as their lone infield backup for now. The alternative was probably sending Jack Suwinski back to Triple-A. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:32 am
  • Activated and optioned
    The Pirates reinstated Williams (wrist) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Indianapolis, Alex Stumpf of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Pittsburgh will keep Jared Triolo on hand as its lone reserve infielder while Williams reports to the Triple-A club now that he's made a full recovery from the right wrist sprain that initially sent him to the IL on June 2. Williams had already been in the midst of a rehab assignment with Indianapolis, going 3-for-11 at the plate over three games. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:05 am
  • Drawing start at third base
    Alexander will start at third base and bat eighth in Wednesday's contest versus the Nationals.

    Advice: Alexander will get his second start at the hot corner over the last three games. He's been seeing more reps at third base lately as a result of Eugenio Suarez's struggles. Suarez is also in Wednesday's lineup, occupying the designated hitter slot. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:57 am
  • Starting Wednesday after all
    Lopez will start at second base and bat eighth in Wednesday's game against the Cardinals.

    Advice: The initial lineup the Marlins released for Wednesday's series finale called for Lopez to get the day off, but he'll end up sticking in the lineup while Jazz Chisholm heads to the bench after getting scratched with a hamstring injury. Lopez went 0-for-8 with two runs and a walk while starting at the keystone in the first two games of the series. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:07 am
  • Takes seat Wednesday
    Lopez is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cardinals, Christina De Nicola of MLB.com reports.

    Advice: Vidal Brujan, who contributed a walk-off RBI single in Tuesday's 9-8 extra-inning win over the Cardinals, will start at second base Wednesday. Lopez will get a day off after going 1-for-11 across his last four contests. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:39 am
